Pat Cash backs Novak Djokovic to recover

Former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash has backed Novak Djokovic to recover from his defeat to Rafael Nadal in the French Open final.

The Serbian lost out to Nadal for the second time in the final at Roland Garros on Sunday as he went down in four sets to the world number one.

Despite the disappointing outcome for Djokovic, Cash believes that he will not let it affect him in the long term.

So close again for #Djokovic. But he's a true champion who'll be back. #NeverGiveUp

World number two Djokovic would have returned to the top of the rankings had he beaten Nadal on Sunday.
