Roger Federer to trial coach Paul Annacone (26/7/2010)
Roger Federer is to work with coach Paul Annacone for a "test period" as the 16-time Grand Slam champion looks to get back to winning ways.
The Swiss will team up with Annacone as the American works out the remainder of his contract as men's head coach at the Lawn Tennis Association until November.
Federer has slipped to third in the rankings after losing in the quarter-finals of the last two Grand Slams.
Annacone is a former coach to Pete Sampras and Tim Henman.
Federer has had several temporary associations with coaches in recent years, including Darren Cahill, Jose Higueras and Tony Roche.
He is next due in competitive action at the Rogers Cup in Toronto from 9 August, before the US Open gets under way on 30 August.
"I've been looking to add someone to my team and I've decided to spend some days with Paul Annacone," Federer told his website Monday. |
