BELGRADE (Reuters) - A struggling Novak Djokovic should bring past mentor Boris Becker back into the fold in order to rediscover his vintage form after dismissing his entire coaching staff on Friday, a former Yugoslavia Davis Cup team captain said.

"I expected this move because Djokovic’s results in the past few months have been well below par for the world’s former number one," Radmilo Armenulic told Belgrade’s B92 website (www.b92.net).
