Up and coming US teenager Jack Sock has decided to work with USTA’s Jay Berger again beginning next week at the tournament in Memphis and lasting through Key Biscayne. Sock will still maintain a relationship with his private coach, Mike Wolfe, but apparently Wolfe has obligations at home in Kansas City.

“We worked together and the beginning of the year at some futures and I like working with him and hope we do well,” said Sock, who fell to fellow 19-year-old Denis Kudla at San Jose SAP Open.

Sock, 19, has a wild card into Memphis and is hoping to gain entrance into the rest of the US winner spring swing: Delray Beach, Indian Wells and Key Biscayne. He has asked for wildcards into the main draws but he will play qualifying if he cannot get in. The 19-year-old, who won the 2011 US Open mixed doubles with Melanie Oudin, is currently ranked No. 308 and would even need wild cards into the Masters Series qualifying at Indian Wells and Key Biscayne.
