With the conclusion of Wimbledon, the US Open build-up is just around the corner, and some ATP stars are beginning to make changes in their teams.<\/p>\n

Alexander Zverev was recently spotted with Toni Nadal<\/a> at the Rafael Nadal<\/a> academy following his first-round exit at the All England Club. <\/p>\n

Zverev<\/a> lost in his opening match at the championships to Arthur Rinderknech and hinted afterwards at a potential switch-up in coach, which may come in the form of Nadal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, another top ten player seems to be looking to change things up and has been pictured working with eight-time Grand Slam champion Andre Agassi<\/a> ahead of the Washington Open. <\/p>\n

As per Open Court<\/a>, Agassi was seen training with world number eight Holger Rune<\/a> at the Washington Open, the main draw of which begins on the 23rd of July.<\/p>\n

The American legend is reportedly in D.C to work with Rune for a three-day trial period, which started on Thursday. <\/p>\n

\ud83d\uddde\ufe0fLegend Andre Agassi is reportedly working alongside Holger Rune in Washington for three days to see if they develop chemistry and see if he can bring his fresh perspective and experience to the project.<\/p>\n

Agassi briefly coached Novak Djokovic<\/a> from 2017 to 2018 and worked with Grigor Dimitrov<\/a> from 2018-2020. <\/p>\n

Should the trial with Rune lead to something permanent, it could be a great move for the Dane, who is yet to reach his full potential in tennis. <\/p>\n

Rune played just one grass-court event before Wimbledon, featuring at the Queen\u2019s Club Championships in June. <\/p>\n

He won two matches there against Christopher O\u2019Connell and Mackenzie McDonald, before losing in the quarter-finals to Roberto Bautista Agut.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old then entered Wimbledon, where, like Zverev, he crashed out in the first round, joining the long list of early seeded upsets at the championships.<\/p>\n

In a five-set marathon, Rune lost to Nicolas Jarry in his opening match, marking his joint-worst finish in SW19.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
