The eight-times Grand Slam champion refused free entrance and insisted on paying for his own ticket, priced at US $30.

Youngster Querrey beat Bogdanovic 6-3, 6-2 to advance to the 24-player round-robin at the Las vegas Open.

Gilbert, who played a vital role in Agassi's comeback, is now Murray's coach and also has a wider coaching role with the LTA.
