Andre Agassi and world number four Novak Djokovic need to cooperate for no less than a month if the American’s instructing is to have a long haul affect on the battling Serb’s diversion, three-times Wimbledon champion John McEnroe has said.
Djokovic, who part with his instructing group in an offered to rediscover his frame recently, declared that he would begin working with Agassi right away before the French Open.
“It looks great on paper when you bring in Andre Agassi, and it is great for tennis,” McEnroe told the British media. “He did have this career renaissance so there are reasons why it makes sense, but it is hard to think that it could make sense so fast.
“I can’t see it lasting if he is only coming around for very brief moments. But if they got a window of a month, obviously it is a totally different situation entirely.”
The 47-year-old American, nonetheless, just remained in Paris for the opening week, and it is uncertain whether he will be in Djokovic’s corner at one month from now’s Wimbledon.
Djokovic, who has battled for the current year and endured a quarter-last exit at the French Open, dropped out of the best two spots on the planet rankings this month surprisingly since March 2011.
He keeps on working with an otherworldly consultant, Pepe Imaz, a Spanish previous player. However, McEnroe trusts that could be depleting Djokovic of his executioner intuition.
“From an emotional standpoint, Djokovic perhaps felt he wanted to bring in somebody who wants to give people a lot of hugs,” McEnroe added.
“That does not necessarily translate to killer instinct. It does not automatically lose it. But you don’t want to get into a situation where it is all peace and love, and then you have to go out and stomp on somebody’s head in competition.”
Djokovic has taken a trump card into the current week’s Aegon International at Eastbourne, his first grasscourt warm-up competition appearance in front of Wimbledon since 2010.
The Serb as the competition’s best seed got a first-round bye and will confront Czech Jiri Vesely or Vasek Pospisil of Canada in the second round.
