New age sportsmen (& women)

Novak Djokovic is ditching Boris Becker for a spiritual guru in an attempt to rediscover his form.

What other examples are there of sportspeople going the full lentil mental route to success?

Novak Djokovic is reported to have turned to a spiritual guru who specialises in meditation and extremely long hugs as he bids to hold on to his world No1 position in the face of a serious challenge from Andy Murray.

Pepe Imaz, a former Spanish tennis player who preaches a philosophy of Amor Y Paz (Love and Peace) as central to his coaching, has accompanied Djokovic this week at the Paris Masters tournament. It is understood Djokovic came into contact with Imaz through the tennis player’s brother Marko, who reportedly turned to the Spaniard when his form dipped two years ago.

Desperate

[Lou Grant]

Agreed - he'd probably be better off not cheating on his wife rather than employing a 'spiritual guru'

Hocus Pocus nonsense !!!

[EddieCheddar]

It's bollocks. Just a new spin on the tried and trusted tactic of 'chronic fatigue'
which Murray used to swallow but now has sussed. On current form, Djokovic is aware he's likely to lose before the final, which is why he's doing a Steve Collins.

He's a dick!

And the Joker finds himself a set down against a dangerous opponent

[Lou Grant]

Not that dangerous. Djokovic played poorly in the first set and should've lost it by a greater margin, but Baby Fed wasn't that great.

Also Danny V's record as a coach does make me wonder why anyone employs him.

Take an 'extremely long hug' Novak, because you've been beaten in straight sets by a guy who has lost to you in every one of the previous 15 matches.

Fancied Cilic to win in three ,he is in good form wheras Djorkovic is not.
Murray takes on Berdych next always a tough game even more so with the chance of being Britains first world no 1 mens tennis player

Let's face it as long as he doesn't change his doctor he'll still win everything.
