Tsonga splits with his coach Rasheed

Sad, he was doing so well this year. Hopefully he'll get a good new coach.

Predictable. Tennis requires discipline. Tsonga has none.

And tennis coaching requires tennis knowledge. Rasheed has none. Rasheed is a fitness guy. Maybe Tsonga woke up one day and realized his coach has nothing to offer from a tennis perspective. Hewitt already warned everybody about Rasheed. The French guys didn't listen.

If it took 4 years for Hewitt to figure out Rasheed has no tennis knowledge, what does that say about Hewitt?...Let's not judge other's knowledge unless you have inside info that no fans or players are privy to.

I've never accused Hewitt of being a smart guy. Plus like many players, Hewitt was probably content with his own tennis knowledge, and was happy to use Rasheed's fitness expertise (and Hewitt was very reliant on fitness, so you can understand why he chose Rasheed). But after 4 years, when the need for fresh tactics arises (and the ranking is slipping).....and the coach has none.....

a change might take him to the next level. we will just have to see.

Tsonga is a hard worker.

So Rasheed does not know tennis, Hewitt is not smart...do you have more? But before going any further, would you like to share YOUR credentials as far as coaching and playing is concerned, so I know.:huh:

Tsonga will be back in Metz next week (with no coach around) where he'll defend his title
Hope he can qualify for Masters
Welcome back Jo

so the comeback is ON..Goood news..

hope his knee is ok, strill think his LCL lateral collateral ligament) was damaged but his 'camp' claimed it was tendinitis..so we will see what happens..

if he has had an LCL injury and it didn't have surger.. which is possible, but there is a risk of it not healing properly and being weak with risk of re-injury..

3 months out with whatever injury he had is quite along time though.

Nice to see Jo back on the tour, hopefully he could make the WTF and succeed there.

Btw, a player who missed the USO last year won it this year. So USO '14 looks good for Jo. And this year's RG & Wim champs missed the previous slams, so also AO '14 looks good for him.

He's had quite a few knee surgeries in the past so hopefully he's ok. Saw him live against Fed at the WTF a few years ago and he was great to watch. They both were.

Not sure if it's Jo or 007.
