Simona Halep has added Andrei Pavel to her coaching team.

The No. 2-ranked Halep announced the appointment following her defeat to Maria Sharapova in the first round of the US Open. She will also keep working with her current coach, Darren Cahill.

"I know I have to keep working hard to get better," she wrote on social media. "I also want to tell you that Andrei Pavel is a member of my team. It[']s an honor for me to have him around. I'm sure that I have many things to learn from his experience and advice.

"Nothing changes with Darren. Everything will be the same."

Pavel, a former ATP pro, has worked with other WTA players since retiring from the tour.
