Novak Djokovic has neither of his coaches with him at this week's Paris Masters.

According to Serbian reports, it had been previously arranged that the world No. 1 would not bring Boris Becker or Marian** Vajda. Instead, Djokovic is being accompanied by doubles partner Nenad Zimonjic, his physiotherapist and his trainer.

The Serb is also traveling with former player-turned-self-help-advocate Pepe Imaz, who the *Daily Mail* suggests has had an increasing amount of influence on the 12-time Grand Slam champion.

When asked about his reduced team this week, Djokovic told reporters that it's not an issue.

"In Miami, I also didn't have Boris or Marian," he said. "My team is large, and [Zimonjic and Imaz] are also part of it."

This tournament is especially important for the Serb, as the possibility of losing his No. 1 ranking to Andy Murray looms large.

Djokovic is the three-time defending champion in Paris.
