It's over before it actually began for Roger Federer and Darren Cahill, with the experienced Australian coach unable to give a travel commitment to the Swiss No. 2.
Federer has revealed that Cahill withdrew from the potential all-star arrangement due to the tyranny of travel on the tour. "We decided not to do it," said Federer, who will continue to work with Swiss Davis Cup skipper Severin Luethi.
"The final answer is that we're (Cahill and Federer) moving on."
Federer flew Las Vegas-based Cahill, former mentor to Lleyton Hewitt and Andre Agassi, out to his base in Dubai for a trial run.
"It was a good time for a test. Darren rang me after the Australian Open. We'd been in contact for the past five years. I had decided to rest my back and not play Dubai and Davis Cup, so it was the perfect time to try.
"But Darren said it would be tough for him to do all the traveling due to his kids. It was a test to see how things would go."
