Capriati finds a new coach for Wimbledon

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) -- Jennifer Capriati is working with former U.S. Davis Cup captain Tom Gullickson at Wimbledon, ending a brief stint with Heinz Gunthardt after the French Open.

Gullickson supervised Capriati's hitting session against French Open champion Anastasia Myskina on Sunday.

"She knew I was going to be here, she asked me to help her out and I said, 'Sure, why not?'" said Gullickson, who briefly coached Pete Sampras. His brother, Tim Gullickson, was Sampras' longtime coach.

Gunthardt helped Capriati reach the French Open semifinals, where she lost to Myskina. Capriati, a former French and Australian Open champion, didn't give a reason for the split.

Gullickson said he and Capriati hadn't spoken about the coaching arrangement extending beyond Wimbledon.
