First Look: Novak Djokovic With Andre Agassi On The Practice Court At The French Open
It’s really happening! Andre Agassi has joined Novak Djokovic’s team and is at the French Open with the Serb. The tournament has sent out this pictures of their first practice session on the grounds.
Via Google translation from L’Equipe, Agassi had this to say of the new partnership:
“With Novak, I am at the very beginning of my learning phase. I took pleasure from that first day together. I can not tell you too much, what’s important is him, not me.
“I hope to bring him mentally and technically but let me have time to learn.
“Our decision to work with Novak was made a short while ago. I have to leave next week for family reasons, for a long time programmed.”
Agassi last played the French Open in 2005 when he lost to Jarkko Nieminen in five sets. He’s been back since for sponsor functions and to hand the trophy to Roger Federer in 2009.
