WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — Jay Berger will coach the U.S. men's tennis team at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics in place of Davis Cup captain Jim Courier, while Fed Cup captain Mary Joe Fernandez will coach the country's women at the Summer Games.
The U.S. Tennis Association announced the Olympic coaching staff Thursday.
Dan James will coach the U.S. Paralympic wheelchair tennis team.
USTA spokesman Chris Widmaier said that Courier "elected not to accept" the position as Olympic coach. Berger, who is the head of men's tennis for USTA Player Development, also coached the American men at the 2012 London Olympics.
