The esteemed coach has previously worked with Greg Rusedski, Mark Philippoussis, CoCo Vandeweghe and Alexei Popyrin. He shares what he looks for in a new pupil, what stands out to him about Nakashima and how he operates as a coach. He also reveals the inspiration behind his famous checkered bandana, his off-court interests, which includes helping the indigenous communities in Australia, and how he lost his passport on his way to the U.S. last month.
