...book devotes a heap of space to profiling the posse that aided Agassi's rise. Gil Reyes is the hulking trainer--part bodyguard, part wizard--who forced Agassi to funnel a cocktail of salt, electrolytes and vitamins known as Gil water before matches. Brad Gilbert is the Bud-guzzling coach who made Agassi a master strategist. There's the childhood best friend/manager, the pastor and the brother who always stuck by him.

The charming town is brimming with edifices that nod to a complicated colonial history on the Malacca Strait, while the narrow streets and traditional homes offer a peek into the culture of the Peranakans, or Malay Chinese, who lived there in great numbers.
