Following his split with Boris Becker last year, Novak Djokovic was on the lookout for a new coach – or if rumours at the time were to be believed, a ‘supercoach’. He appeared this year to have found just that in 8-time Grand Slam winner and former World No. 1 Andre Agassi.

The American ace was announced as Djokovic’s coach just prior to the French Open, with the two likely having begun working with each other or at the very least, in talks, over the past 6 months.

Djokovic and Agassi have appeared to get along famously, with even Djokovic’s former coach Boris Becker quipping that the pair’s personalities mesh very well. The former World No. 1 appears to have had quite the change in his attitude already – and that continuing will be crucial in his gameplay trending positively.
