Looks like Roger Federer is getting serious about re-establishing his status as the top-dog on the ATP Tour. It was announced today that the current world number three player will be teaming up with PaulAnnacone on a trial basis.

"I've been looking to add someone to my team and I've decided to spend some days with Paul Annacone," Federer said on his website.

"As Paul winds down his responsibilities working for the Lawn Tennis Association, we will explore our relationship through this test. Paul will work alongside my existing team and I am excited to learn from his experiences."

The last time Federer employed the use of a coach was with Darren Cahill (who formerly coached Andre Agassi and Lleyton Hewitt) between February and March 2009. Prior to that he occasionally had Tony Roche show up to bigger tournaments to offer advice and also put him through the paces in Dubai during the off-season.

The 47-year old Annacone was ranked as high as 12th in the world in the mid 1980s. He is most famous for being the coach of Pete Sampras from 1995 to 2001 and then again during the summer of 2002.
