And the hits just keep on comin’. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga won’t be reprising his role as the breakthrough player at the French Open. After stunning success at the Australian Open early this year, Tsonga was on everyone’s Players to Watch list.
Due to a knee injury, Tsonga has pulled out before play starts at Roland Garros tomorrow. […]

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.
Tsonga will be replaced with Arnaud Clement - whoever that is. Richard Gasquet, Paul Henri-Mathieu and Michael Llodra. And the United States will be represented […]

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.

So if a little bit is good, does that mean a lot is great?

Holy crap.
That’s about all I have to say, really. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga put on a clinic in his 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 whipping of Rafael Nadal in the Australian Open semis. I rewatched part of it during the day today and it was kind of painful - on Nadal’s part anyway. The Spaniard looked like he had […]
