(Reuters) - Twelve-times grand slam champion Novak Djokovic's enforced injury break gives him enough time to rediscover his intense playing style and will also make him mentally tougher on his return, former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash has said. The 30-year-old Serb said he will miss the rest of the tennis season, including next month's U.S. Open, to recover from a right elbow injury. "It will take time for him to get his intensity back," Cash, the 1987 Wimbledon singles champion, told the BBC. "Djokovic's style is very similar to almost everyone else on the circuit, but he was just that bit fitter, that bit more flexible, that bit more mentally tough. Djokovic has struggled over the last 12 months on the court, losing all the grand slam titles he held simultaneously after winning the 2016 French Open.
