(Reuters) - Twelve-times grand slam champion Novak Djokovic's enforced injury break gives him enough time to rediscover his intense playing style and will also make him mentally tougher on his return, former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash has said.

The 30-year-old Serb said he will miss the rest of the tennis season, including next month's U.S. Open, to recover from a right elbow injury.
