Internet Desk: Twelve time grand slam winner, Serbia’s Novak Djokovic on Sunday has announced that legendary Andre Agassi will be his coach during the French Open, which will start from next Sunday.

Speaking after his loss to Alexander Zverev in the Italian Open final on Sunday, Djokovic says, “Andre is someone who I have tremendous respect for. … He’s someone who can contribute to my life on and off the court.”

Djokovic parted away with his longtime coach Marian Vajda and two other team members at the start of May this year.

Djokovic says he talked on the phone with Agassi for the last couple of weeks but that the pair has no long-term commitment.

Djokovic says, “We’ll see where it takes us. … He will not stay whole tournament.”

Agassi, who retired in 2006, won eight Grand Slam titles.
