Agassi on Reason for Djokovic Split


Andre Agassi and Novak Djokovic agreed to disagree.

Now, they've agreed to part company.

Agassi announced he's no longer coaching Djokovic, who has suffered his third straight loss to Benoit Paire in his opener.

"With only the best intentions I tried to help Novak," Agassi said in a statement issued to ESPN on Friday. "We far too often found ourselves agreeing to disagree. I wish him only the best moving forward."

The 12-time Grand Slam champion underwent what he called "a small medical intervention" on his right elbow last month.

It is believed Agassi urged Djokovic to take time off to fully recover. Instead, Djokovic returned about five weeks after the Taro Daniel, 6-1 in the third set, in Indian Wells.

Radek Stepanek remains as Djokovic's coach.

ESPN analysts Darren Cahill and Brad Gilbert, who both formerly coached Agassi and remain tight with him, suggest Agassi is interested in coaching again but does not have a a lot of time to travel because of his commitments to his charitable foundation and charter schools. Gilbert said Agassi has mentored several players in recent years.
