The cover of The National Sport on Thursday, May 19, 2016 features Novak Djokovic conferring with his coach Boris Becker at the Australian Open back in January.

Osman Samiuddin writes that what first appeared tennis' original odd couple has actually blossomed into one its most successful. Since Becker teamed up with the Serb in 2014 the Serb has won five out of the seven grand slam finals he has played; before him he had won six out of 12. In the immediate run-up to reaching out to Becker he had won just one out of five slam finals.
