 Agassi has been promoting his book in the US in recent weeks

There will be no new investigation into Andre Agassi's positive drugs test in 1997, the governing body of men's tennis has confirmed.
Agassi admitted in his autobiography that he took crystal meth and then lied to the ATP to avoid a ban.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) had suggested the issue "warrants further investigation".
But ATP chief executive Adam Helfant said: "We can't reopen the case because he's no longer playing on the tour."
Agassi, who won eight Grand Slams and is one of only six men to win all four major titles, wrote in his autobiography that he took the highly addictive drug with a former assistant and then lied to the ATP that his drink had been accidently spiked.
The ATP believed his story and took no action against the Las Vegan, who at the time had slumped to 141 in the world rankings despite having three Grand Slam titles already under his belt.
Helfant revealed he had had a "very frank conversation" with the former world number one and admitted the episode has been "regrettable".

He added: "The ATP's policy is we don't comment on doping matters unless a doping violation is found and that will continue to be our policy, but I thought some perspective was in order.
"I asked an outside law firm to go through the records from 1997 so I had all the facts. Andre Agassi has admitted he failed a drugs test in 1997 and regrettably he then lied about it. Even more regrettably he got away with it.
"In compliance with the ATP's anti-doping policy, no disclosure was made. If we had revealed that test it would have been in contravention of the rules at the time.
"There has been a lot of speculation about whether the ATP would reopen the case but we cannot do that because he's no longer playing on the tour.
"We have responded to Wada but what was said will remain between us and will not be made public."
Another issue surrounding drug-testing in tennis has been the recent one-year ban handed to Belgians Xavier Malisse and, on the women's tour, Yanina Wickmayer for breaching Wada's 'whereabouts' rules.
Leading players Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal have complained that the rule insisting athletes must make themselves available for testing throughout the year is unfair.
"The whereabouts programme was originally meant for out-of-competition testing and it's a programme that's one size fits all," said Helfant.
"So the question is how should it be applied to a sport that's in competition nearly all the year? We are in conversation with Wada about the technical issues."
