Tsonga close to naming coach

Jo-Wilfried Tsogna revealed on Wednesday he is nearing a decision on a new coach but won't make an announcement until a deal is done. The Frenchman is the top seed at the Austrian Open. Tsonga, who missed nearly three months of play over the summer with a knee injury, said he will soon have a new mentor after splitting in September from Australian Roger Rasheed, who also formerly coached Tsogna's compatriot, Gael Monfils.
