TENNIS:ROGER FEDERER'S former coach Peter Lundgren resigned yesterday from his role with Britain's Davis Cup team, the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) said.

Paul Annacone, the men's head coach, will replace the Swede as Davis Cup coach.

"I would like to thank Peter for all his work over the past 18 months," Britain's Davis Cup captain John Lloyd said.

Annacone, who has worked with Pete Sampras and Tim Henman, will now focus on Britain's World Group play-off in September after they lost to Argentina in the first round.
