Djokovic and Agassi get right to work at Roland Garros

The world No. 2 hired Agassi just in time for his title defense.

Published May 25, 2017

While it may not be their first time hanging out together, Novak Djokovic and Andre Agassi took to the court for their first Roland Garros practice on Thursday. It's the 47-year-old's debut into professional coaching, following in the footsteps of fellow legends Michael Chang, Ivan Lendl, Boris Becker and Stefan Edberg.

The newly minted Djokovic and Agassi pairing got right to business. There was backhand work to be done:

Djokovic, who just turned 30, is the defending champion and seeking his second Roland Garros crown. Eight-time Grand Slam champion Agassi won the title in 1999 at the age of 29. He would win four more majors before retiring in 2006.
