Andre Agassi will be in Novak Djkovic's corner at Wimbledon.
Djokovic, who is making his Eastbourne debut this week, said Agassi will coach him throughout the tournament.

"He will be in London for Wimbledon. He will stay as long as I stay in the tournament, so that's great news," Djokovic told the media in Eastbourne. "Obviously Roland Garros, the eight or nine days that we spent together, were very valuable for me to get to know him, to learn from him. We shared a lot of experiences on and off the court, you know, things that he has been through that I can relate to and vice versa."
Agassi spent only the first week of Roland Garros with Djokovic due to a family trip planned before he joined Djokovic's team.
"So having him around is not only great for myself but also for tennis," Djokovic said. "Getting to know him in Paris, I can see how much he cares about the game, how much he knows the game. It was very interesting to hear his perspective on tennis before and now, current tennis, how he analyzes my game and what he sees with things moving forward to improve and try to get back on the level desired.
"That's all. I'm just looking forward to spend as much quality time with Andre as I can."
The fourth-ranked Serbian said he and Agassi are still trying to work out a schedule for future time together.
"Well, it's something that the time will tell," Djokovic said. "For now, you know, we're going with the flow in a way. Andre has a very busy life. He has big family, he lives in West Coast of America. He's got his foundation, his businesses, has many, many things in his life that are consuming a lot of time.
The pair do not have a contract; Agassi is coaching Djokovic for free.
"First of all, I appreciate all his consideration to work with me and to be with me," Djokovic said. "So we don't have anything formal. We don't have anything signed. It's just as much as he can or he feels to be with me that I embrace that, I accept that, and I'm grateful for it."
Dominic Thiem tore defending Roland Garros champion Djokovic apart in a 7-6(5), 6-3, 6-0 French Open demolition in which the second seed mentally tapped out.
Hall of Famer and TV analyst John McEnroe bluntly called Djokovic's demise in the third set "tank city."
Asked to assess that listless loss, Djokovic said he completely lost confidence in the third set and has moved on.
"I completely lost my, you know, my rhythm and confidence on the court in the third," Djokovic said. "It was unfortunate for me to end up that match the way I did, but it happens. You know, it happens on a given day that you're not feeling your best and your opponent does.
"That's all. You know, I had to move on. I'm aware of the fact that I'm not at the level that I was in the previous years, but, you know, sooner or later this kind of circumstances and experiences had to happen, and eventually sooner or later I had to deal with this kind of challenges and it came right now and I have to accept it.
Prior to facing Vasek Pospisil in his Eastbourne opener, Djokovic said he's focused on figuring out how to regain his top level of play.
"I have to try to work on the court and off the court in order to figure out a way how to get back on the desired level. I'm in the process," Djokovic said. "How long it's going to take, I don't know. I mean, I can't predict the future, but I can do something that it is in my power, and that's to really be as committed as possible when I'm playing, you know, when I'm on the tour, when I'm training.
"That's for sure a fact that I know that I still have that professionalism and commitment to the game because I still like playing it. So as long as it's like that, I will keep on going."
