Federer turning to Higueras?

Mired in one of the biggest slumps in his career, Roger Federer is looking to Jose Higueras for some help this week at Estoril. Higueras has worked with some of the games best players, including Jim Courier, Michael Chang, Sergio Bruguera, Pete Sampras and Jennifer Capriati. He most recently was helping Shahar Peer and Robby Ginepri.

While Higueras right now will only with be Federer this week at Estoril, we could see the pair stick together. “I am excited as I have asked Jose Higueras, one of the most respected and accomplished coaches in the world of tennis, to join me,” the top-ranked player said on his official Web site Monday. “We are going to spend the week together to see if we could make a good team.”

Federer hasn’t had one since he split with Tony Roche last May, and I don’t think it could hurt him. Higueras is a great coach, and someone that has excellent experience. I think this is a good move for the Fed, and we will see what kind of dividends it pays this week.
