Novak Djokovic's enforced break through injury will help the 12-time Grand Slam winner recover his best form, says former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash.
Former world number one Djokovic, 30, will not play again in 2017 because of an elbow injury.
Cash said he could now "mentally refresh, get his enthusiasm back, and start back again strongly".
"We all know how tough and athletic he is, we want to see that again," the 52-year-old told BBC Radio 5 live.
"It might seem a bit obvious for a tennis player to get tennis elbow and there is literally no cure for it, it just takes time, usually about a year or so, to fix it.
