Meanwhile, Roger Federer has been angered, and that’s not really all that easy to do.
The organisers of the new and relaunched Davis Cup appear to have got right on the nerves of the Swiss legend. Find out why here.

What’s in the news
Andre Agassi has been tempted back into coaching by Grigor Dimitrov.
The US legend has not involved himself in tennis since parting with Novak Djokovic earlier this year, but he’s reportedly excited about the prospect of unlocking the Bulgarian’s obvious potential.
“I asked Andre to join us,” Dimitrov’s coach Dani Vallverdu told Sportsmail on Sunday.
“Both Grigor and myself think he can help in a few areas, he has known him well since the juniors and they have spent time together.
“The whole team is looking forward to having him around.”
Agassi is expected to join on a consultancy basis, and it is unclear right now how much time he will spend on tour.
