Boris Becker, coach of Novak Djokovic, can’t be blamed for having a little too much time on his hands. His star pupil has played just 10 sets in this year’s US Open, receiving a walkover in the second round, and retirements in both the third round and quarterfinals.

The world No. 1 has spent less than six-and-a-half on court to get to the quarterfinals.

Djokovic's bizarre fortnight has resulted in the quote of the tournament:

“I can only wish all of my opponents a speedy recovery.”

So it makes sense that Becker is spending some of his time courtside humble-bragging about the A-listers supporting Djokovic.

Here he is with the one and only Hugh Jackman.

And Ben Stiller.

There’s little doubt that Becker is having the most stress-free US Open ever, but things could get dicey soon enough. Djokovic will look to continue his unusual run when he takes on Gael Monfils on Friday.
