Agassi is Djokovic’s new coach
Am surprised at that. Didn’t think Agassi would do it.

Big win for Zverev today. He looked very capable beating Federer in Halle last year and pushing Nadal all the way in 5 at the Australian Open back in January.
In case you haven’t heard, Tim Henman has retired.
French Open underway today. Murray is top seed. He’s in such awful form, he’s liable to fall early. In his top quarter, he’s seeded to meet Del Potro in Round 3, Berdych in Round 4 and Nihikori or Zverev in the quarter final.
Wawrinka is the highest ranking seed in the second quarter. He’s seeded to meet Monfils or Gasquet in Round 4 and Tsonga/Kyrgios/Ferrer/Cilic in quarter finals.
On the bottom half of the draw, Nadal looks to have a fairly uncomplicated run to the quarter final where he would be seeded to meet Raonic/Dimitrov.
In the bottom quarter, Djokovic is seeded to meet Thiem/Goffin in the quarter final.

French Open - Quarter Final Draw
Andy Murray [1] –v- Kei Nishikori [8]
Stan Wawrinka [3] –v- Marin Cilic [7]
Rafael Nadal [4] –v- Pablo Carreno Busta [20]
Novak Djokovic [2] –v- Dominic Thiem [6]
Nadal into the semi finals as Carreno retires with an injury. Meanwhile in the other quarter final Djokovic and Thiem and knocking lumps out of each other. Into a tie break in the first set.
Thiem dismisses Djokovic 7-6 6-3 6-0
Thiem and Nadal is the de facto final you’d imagine. Neither has dropped a set yet and Thiem the only one to beat Nadal on clay this year.
I can’t imagine Thiem making an impact when the season resumes

Number 3 seed and 2015 champions Stan Wawrinka is into the semi final, as per usual completely under the radar. He hasn’t dropped a set all tournament and demolished Number 7 seed Marin Cilic 6-3 6-3 6-1 in today’s quarter final. World Number 1 Sir Andy Murray is his semi final opponent. Sir Andy came from a set down to beat Nishikori in four.

Early break for Wawrinka at the start of the 5th set and holds for 2-0. He’s on fire at the moment. They’ve been on court for over four hours now.
Nadal/Thiem may not finish today now.
Stan wins 6-7 6-3 5-7 7-6 6-1 in 4 hours 34.
Thiem breaks Nadal opening game. Nadal breaks straight back. 1-1.
Rafa 2 sets up.
6-3, 6-4.
