This is reported by several Italian media unanimously. The “Gazzetta dello Sport” brings a big name into play when it comes to Piatti’s successor: Germany’s tennis legend Boris Becker could soon coach the world number ten from South Tyrol!
Since the end of his collaboration with Serbian superstar Novak Djokovic in 2016, three-time Wimbledon champion Becker (54) has not worked as a trainer on the professional tour.

The 63-year-old once even described the youngster as “the most talented player I’ve ever had” – mind you, Piatti had already looked after the 20-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic (34) at the beginning of his career.
