Shanghai: Novak Djokovic said he hadn't made any plans to keep Boris Becker as a coach next year as they appeared headed for a split.

Djokovic, speaking after cruising into the Shanghai Masters quarter-finals yesterday, said he had only made arrangements with the German for the rest of the season. "We are working (together), yeah... for now the plan is the rest of the season," he said.

Asked what would happen next year, Djokovic said: "We still haven't talked about it." Becker joined Djokovic at the start of 2014, helping him win six Grand Slam titles. But the Serb suffered a crisis of motivation and a series of injuries since completing a career Grand Slam at the French Open.
