Tsonga Out of Davis Cup with Injury

The question of who would represent France in the Davis Cup quarterfinal series with the United States was answered on its own when Jo-Wilfried Tsonga withdrew with a right knee injury.

Rafa digs in for victory over Tsonga

It was one heck of a match. 6-7, 7-6, 7-5 victory to Rafael Nadal over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at the Pacific Life Open. I was on the edge of the couch, biting my nails, shouting at the television.

Roger down, I repeat Roger down!

When Rafael Nadal was drop-kicked out of the Australian Open by a relative unknown, I thought - Hmm - wasn’t expecting that but a little bit of upheaval will be good for the tennis world.
