^Roger arrives "Jeremy Chardy .. According to a story in L’Equipe, it has been a tough year for the 24-year-old after that Davis Cup brilliance in February. There was a traumatic split with the man who has coached him since he was 12 years old, former player Frédéric Fontang. It has been an acrimonious parting, featuring a dispute over wages owing to Fontang. Things deteriorated to the point that Chardy was served with court papers as he went out to play a match at Monte Carlo this year. Attempts at conciliation failed so the matter will now end up in the judicial system. "
