Boris Becker has suggested that?Novak Djokovic?needs to rediscover his old work ethic to reclaim the No. 1 ranking from Andy Murray.Djokovic confirmed Tuesday night he had split with Becker, his coach, after a three-year spell that yielded six major titles.He didnt spend as much time on the practice court in the last six months as he should have, and he knows that, the German told Sky News. Success like this doesnt happen by pushing a button. Success like this doesnt just happen by showing up at a tournament. You have to work your bottom off because the opposition does the same.He [Djokovic] has got to go back to work. He has to go back to the office and practice these hours and refocus on what made him strong in the first place.Djokovic made a change to his coaching team, which also includes Slovakian Marian Vajda, at the back end of the 2016 season with Spanish spiritual guru Pepe Imaz brought on as an advisor for the Paris Masters and World Tour Finals in London.Becker had hinted in interviews with British newspapers Sunday that he was set to part company with the Serb but had refused to respond to questions regarding any tensions in the camp.It was mutual. A decision like this does not happen overnight. It is a progress, he told Sky News. I think the last six months have been challenging on many levels. Our hands were tied a little bit because we couldnt do the work we wanted to do.Djokovic has previously admitted to losing some of his motivation after completing the career Grand Slam in June when he won the French Open, and he said in an official statement Tuesday he was ready to set new goals without Becker.Having dominated the first six months of 2016, with titles at Doha, the Australian Open, Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid and Roland Garros, the 29-year-old saw a rankings lead of more than 8,000 points overturned by Murray.The 12-time major winner went out in the third round at Wimbledon and the first round of the Olympics and lost in the US Open final, having admitted in New York his slump was down to personal problems as well as injury issues.I dont know if he had any personal problems, based on what I know, Becker said. He is happily married. He has got a beautiful son. But the profession of a tennis player is probably the most selfish one in sports because it has to be about you, and he is the first to say he is a family man, so of course his wife and the rest of his family had to take back seats.That cant be forever, and I think that is what he meant. I dont think there were problems. I have met his wife -- she is lovely and very, very supportive of her husband. But they dont spend enough time together. I had it, too, 20 years ago. It is just the nature of the beast, being a tennis player.Beaten by Murray in a winner-takes-all showdown for the year-end No. 1 spot and the World Tour Finals title, Djokovic faces a tough task to dislodge the Scot at the top of the rankings given the sheer number of points he will have to defend in the first half of the 2017 season.I am sure the fact that he lost the No. 1 ranking to Andy Murray is going to hurt, Becker said, though. I know the US Open loss in the final against Stan [Wawrinka] hurt. I think that is what he needed maybe in a funny way was to lose a little bit, to realise what it is like to lose, because he hasnt been losing for two and a half years.Im convinced -- and I am his No. 1 fan for next year -- that he will come back and regain that No. 1 position and regain being the most dominant player in his sport.

PROVO, Utah -- UCLA will take any win it can get after a season-opening loss to unranked Texas A&M, but Saturday night sure wasnt pretty.Josh Rosen threw for 307 yards and two touchdowns as UCLA suffocated BYU 17-14 on Saturday night.Neither offense shined as the two defenses controlled most of the night, but UCLA (2-1) was able to hold BYU (1-2) to 273 yards, including 23 on the ground. The Cougars were limited to negative rushing yards until late in the third quarter and 91 of those offensive yards came on their final possession.UCLA fans hoped to see the Rosen thats expected to be a high first-round NFL draft pick after a mediocre start to the season, but BYU never allowed him to feel completely comfortable. Rosen, however, completed a handful of big passing plays, including a 33-yard touchdown to Darren Andrews.Josh has such high expectations for himself that, sometimes, he lets it get the best of him, UCLA coach Jim Mora said. He has to realize hes not going to play a perfect game. He just has to play up to his ability level and his capabilities.BYU quarterback Taysom Hill finished with 250 passing yards, one touchdown one interception and was sacked four times.Weve got to start clicking offensively, BYU coach Kalani Sitake said. We were able to do it some drives ... but we have to start doing that throughout the game. We need to be able to sustain that and be more consistent. Obviously, thats what our focus is going to be on going into this next week.THE TAKEAWAYBYU: A second consecutive loss puts BYU in an awkward position. Such is life as an independent. Without a conference championship to play for, a berth in the College Football Playoffs is basically eliminated. The Cougars are already contracted for the Poinsettia Bowl if they arent selected to a New Years Six bowl. With two losses and nine games to go, including Michigan State and Mississippi State, thats unlikely. The BYU defense continued to play better than expected this season, but the offense regressed for a third consecutive game.Yeah, its gut check time, Sitake said. You can either let adversity divide you or unite you. I think our team is united. We are all on the same page and nobody is pointing fingers or blaming anybody else we just have to be better in some phases than others.We just have to get to work. You cant blame it all on one phase -- special teams wise, defensively and offensively we just need to play ouur game plan.ddddddddddddCLA: The Bruins defense solidified after a pair of shaky performances to start the season. UCLA gave up 378 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns in the first two games, but held running back Jamaal Williams to 28 yards and shut down the mobile Hill. The Bruins also blanketed the Cougar receivers, giving Hill few options in the pass game. Jayon Brown had a team-high nine tackles.We played a ton of man coverage, Mora said. Those young men did a tremendous job under a lot of stress and that allowed our rush to get there.UP NEXTBYU: The Cougars play their fourth consecutive team from a Power 5 conference with a neutral site game against West Virginia at FedEx Field -- home of the Washington Redskins -- in Greater Landover, Maryland on Saturday.UCLA: The Bruins begin Pac-12 play, hosting No. 7 Stanford on Saturday.STREAKS CONTINUEUCLA is now 34-1 under Jim Mora when leading at halftime. The Bruins have also won 47 straight regular season games when holding an opponent under 20 points.NUMBERS SOMETIMES LIEThe Cougars first scoring drive came with the help of three defensive holding calls that totaled 24 yards. One came on a pass in the end zone to give BYU first-and-goal from the two-yard line. Thats seven points and a 75-yard drive that may not have happened without the penalties -- plus the final 91-yard drive -- making the game look closer than it actually was.QB CONTROVERSY?Hill struggled mightily for the second consecutive game despite a decent stat sheet. He missed open receivers and was repeatedly run down from behind trying to scramble. Sophomore Tanner Mangum is considered a better pure passer, if Mangum isnt creating with his legs. Sitake said they considered making the change at halftime, but decided against it.CANT COMPLAINBYU has held all three Power 5 opponents to 20 points or less this season. Sitake is a former defensive coordinator at Oregon State and Utah, but the defensive unit has exceeded expectations. Butch Pauu had a career-high 19 tackles Saturday.QUOTABLEI just wasnt connecting, Rosen said. I wasnt executing. It gets frustrating when balls just kind of sail and get away from you.It gets real frustrating. Sometimes you got to go back to basics and kind of look at yourself in the mirror and hit the reset button. ' ' '
