Yibing Wu has named former Atp No. 6 Wayne Ferreira his new coach, but the retired South African star will not work alone.
The idea of working with two coaches has become a norm on the Atp Tour, with several established stars having at least two tennis coaches within their camps, outside of their hitting partners and physiotherapists.
Some Atp players in a dual partnership include Jannik Sinner, who works with Simone Vagnozzi and Darren Cahill. The pair won the men's tour's 2023 Coach of the Year award.
Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas simultaneously worked with his father, Apostolos, and former Wimbledon finalist Mark Philippoussis, but that alliance was short-lived. World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz works with Juan Carlos Ferrero and Samuel Lopez.

For the second year in a row, Novak Djokovic will take part in the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic at the Hurlingham Tennis Club.
The Hurlingham Tennis Club is located in the Fulham area of the Hammersmith and Fulham borough in West London. It's been there since its founding some 150 years ago and over its long history, it saw many prominent people walk through its gates.
Tennis is no exception as it's one of the sports available there and it stages a grass exhibition event called the Giorgi Armani Tennis Classic. Grass exhibitions aren't anything new in the week before Wimbledon with the famous Boodles Challenge being held for years until it was cancelled in recent years due to renovations at the club and Covid.
It will make a return in 2023 but until then, London fans have a chance to see some big names at the Hurlingham Exhibition which will host Novak Djokovic once more.

Andy Murray recorded his 42nd win at Wimbledon yesterday (June 30), and also marked his 10th year at the biggest tennis tournament in the world.
There have been many stories of triumph, tears and tantrums since making his debut as a gawky teenager in 2005, peaking at his incredible win eight years later in July 2013. Here's a look back at his decade of putting us through the emotional wringer each summer.
2005
Result: Third round
Hair level: Scruffy but short
The year after triumphing at the Junior Us Open, Murray had won his first senior matches at Queens just two weeks before his first Grand Slam. It was truly the changing of the guard as Tim Henman lost in the second round, the first time he failed to get to the second week since 1995.
Despite the presence of Sean Connery in the crowd, Murray's inexperience wasn't enough to beat David Nalbandian in a thrilling five-setter.
