Wayne Ferreira should fix it and bring US hope Frances Tiafoe back on the road to success. The 48-year-old South African is new to the "Big Foe" team, as he announced on Friday. Followed by the hashtag #bigfoeonthecomeup.

And Tiafoe urgently needs an upward trend: He is currently only number 82 in the world after celebrating his high ranking with 29th place after his quarter-final run at the Australian Open last year. After that, however, not much went together with the 22-year-old, only in Miami he had managed to win two matches in a row.

Ferreira, formerly number 6 in the tennis world and equipped with one of the best forearms of all time, tried briefly last year to get Marin Cilic fit on the grass.
