Interesting read.
I must say I was a bit shocked when Rasheed was announced as Grigor's new coach on a trial basis I believe.
Maybe it was Rasheed's influence that Grigor needed to achieve his first ATP title.

Someone should study how frequently a player getting a new coach corresponds with winning a title within the first, say, 2-3 months of working together.

I hadn't thought about that until I read Jesse's piece. I also thought he was hilariously evocative of the atmosphere of the indoor tournaments, (and the Stockholm trophy.) Great read.
