Novak Djokovic said on Friday that he had parted ways with his entire training team, including long-time coach Marian Vajda, as he attempts to arrest an alarming slide in form in the past year.

The former World No. 1 believes that this “shock therapy” will help him return to the top of the game, said a statement on his official website.

“I am a hunter and my biggest goal is to find the winning spark on the court again,” Djokovic said. “I want to find a way to come back to the top stronger and more resilient,” he said.

"I have so much faith in this process and that's why I will take time to find the right person who I can connect with professionally."

For now he said he would be on tour alone with the support of his family and management, with the French Open just over two weeks away.
