Swiss Stan Wawrinka has taken a page from good friend Roger Federer's former playbook, and is set to work with Swede Peter Lundgren as his coach.
Lundgren was mentor to the young Roger Federer, splitting with the Swiss in 2003 shortly after guiding his charge to victory in the ATP year-end championships in Houston.
In the interim, Federer has been heading his own private tennis brain trust, with Swiss Davis Cup captain Severin Luthi a key coaching figure. Lundgren has been through a variety of positions, including coaching Marat Safin and working for a time with the British Davis Cup team.
Wawrinka, who cracked the ranking Top 10 in 2008, now stands 26th after a first-round Wimbledon exit.
Swedish media quoted Lundgren as saying he's happy with the new collaboration: "When I asked what he wanted help with, he said he wants to return to the Top 10. It's what you want to hear as a coach. I'm going to try to get Stan to become more aggressive."
Lundgren's last coaching job was with young Bulgarian Grigor Dmitrov, while Wawrinka split with his longtime coach after the French Open, where he was beaten by Federer in the fourth round.
