Tennis: MIles Maclagan poised to coach Philipp Kohlschreiber

Andy Murray's former coach Miles Maclagan is to return to work with Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber, the BBC was reported last night. Kohlschreiber, currently ranked world No 31, reached the last 16 at the French and Australian Opens and beat Murray 6-2, 6-1 at Monte Carlo in April.

Meanwhile, Gael Monfils extended France's lead over Argentina to 2-0 in their Davis Cup semi-final with a 6-4, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3 win over former No. 3-ranked David Nalbandian last night.

Michael Llodra had earlier put the French ahead by defeating Juan Monaco 7-5, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3.

Monfils, who is unbeaten in the Davis Cup this year, won six consecutive games in the last set and wrapped up the match on his second match point with a passing shot that Nalbandian failed to control.

Llodra will also feature in today's doubles alongside veteran Arnaud Clement against Argentine pair Eduardo Schwank and Horacio Zeballos.
