프랑스 홈코트에서 조 윌프리드 송가가 로저 페더러를 3-0으로 이기고 프랑스오픈 4강에 당당히 진입했다.

송가는  5일 롤랑가로스 필립 샤트리에경기장 만원관중속에서 페더러에게 7-5 6-3 6-3으로 이겼다.

1세트 게임스코어 3-4로 뒤진 송가는  페더러의 40-15 게임을 뒤집어 4-4를 만들어 페더러의 손쉬운 선취 세트를 저지하더니 5-4 5-5 6-5로 게임은 이어졌다. 1세트 승부처는 6-5 페더러 서브. 페더러가 0-40로 밀리다 어렵게 듀스를 만들었으나 연속해서 포핸드 실수 2개를 범하면서 송가가 1세트를 7-5로 따냈다,

0-40에서 페더러는 서브포인트와 백핸드 깊숙한 앵글샷 등으로 듀스를 만들었지만 자신의 철벽 무기인 포핸드 스트로크에서 어이없는 실수로 송가의 기를 살려주었다.

송가의 서브로 시작된 2세트에서 송가는 1세트 여세를 몰았다. 3-0으로 벌리고 5-2로 만들어 2세트역시 송가의 몫으로 귀결될 수 밖에 없었다.  송가는 페더러의 실수 샷을 놓치지 않고 게임을 번번이 브레이크해  이날은 송가의 최고조 날임을 확인시켰다.

반면 페더러는 평범한 셔츠를 입고 코트에 등장하고 자로 잰듯한 샷들은 조금씩 벨트를 벗어나 이전 질 시몽과의 접전 후유증을 나타냈다.  이전 보다 빠른 페더러의 공격 스타일도  송가의 물만난듯한 스트로크와 발놀림에 코트를 완벽히 지배하지 못했다. 2세트 까지 송가가 5개의 실수가 있는 반면 페더러가 12개 실수를 기록해 이날 페더러의 컨디션을 숫자로 극명하게 보여주었다.

페더러는 라켓 교환 시기(7-9-9게임)를 정확하게 지켜가면서 루틴한 플레이를 고수했지만 이날 문제가 된 포핸드 스트로크가 조금씩 라인을 벗어나면서 점수를 쌓는데 실패했다.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (French pronunciation: ​[(d)ʒo wilfʁid t͡sɔŋɡa]; born (1985-04-17)17 April 1985) is a French professional tennis player. He was born in Le Mans, to a French mother, Évelyne, and a Congolese father, Didier Tsonga, who moved to France in the 1970s to play handball.[2] Tsonga is a member of the Tennis Club de Paris (TCP). His career-high singles ranking is World No. 5, which he achieved in February 2012.

Tsonga rose to fame by virtue of his performance in the 2008 Australian Open when, as an unseeded player, he reached the final, having defeated four seeded players along the way, including earning a straight-sets win over the World No. 2 Rafael Nadal in the semifinals. Tsonga eventually lost to the World No. 3 Novak Djokovic in the final in four sets, after winning the first set, the only set Djokovic dropped during the tournament.

Tsonga followed this up by winning his first ATP Masters Series championship at the 2008 Paris Masters, thus qualifying for the 2008 Tennis Masters Cup in Shanghai, China. His best performances in a major tournament since 2008 are semifinal appearances in the 2010 Australian Open, the 2013 French Open and at Wimbledon in 2011 and 2012. He also reached the final of the 2011 ATP World Tour Finals, where he lost to five-time and defending champion Roger Federer.

He is one of the few active players on tour to have reached the quarterfinal stage of all four Grand Slams, and the only player to have defeated all four of the Big Four in a slam.

Background[edit]Tsonga's father, handball player Didier Tsonga, is from Congo-Brazzaville, and his mother Évelyne is French. Jo's father moved to France during the 1970s to fulfill his own dreams of becoming a handball great, where he eventually met Évelyne and they married. Tsonga is nicknamed Ali, because of his facial resemblance to the boxer.[3]

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has a younger brother (Enzo) who, much like Jo, has been inspired to play sports and is part of the French basketball program (junior). He also has an elder sister (Sasha) who is less involved with sporting ventures. His footballing cousin is Maël Lépicier who plays for Congo.[4] Tsonga and Gaël Monfils developed a good friendship from a young age, when they enjoyed mimicking all the tennis greats of the past.

As a junior, Tsonga reached a ranking of No. 2 in the world and won the US Open title. He reached four other semifinals of junior Grand Slam events. Marcos Baghdatis was a rival of Tsonga in the junior stage.

Early career[edit]Tsonga had a successful junior career, winning the US Open Juniors title in 2003 by defeating Marcos Baghdatis in the final, and also reached the semifinals of the other three Grand Slam events.

After turning pro in 2004, Tsonga suffered a string of injuries beginning in late 2004, with a herniated disc that caused him to be out of action until March 2005. Then came two right shoulder injuries later in 2005, back and abdominal ailments from October 2005 to February 2006, and the recurrence of an abdominal injury at the end of 2006. In all, he played only eight tournaments during that time.[5]

2007[edit]In January 2007, then ranked No. 212 in the world, Tsonga received a wild card entry into the 2007 Australian Open, where in only his second senior Grand Slam tournament match, he met sixth seed Andy Roddick for the second time in his career. What followed was the longest tiebreak in Australian Open history in the first set, which he went on to win (20–18). Tsonga forced a tiebreak in the second set, as well. However, he went on to lose the match in four sets. He was just 21 at the time.

In 2007, he won four Challenger titles in Tallahassee, Mexico City, Lanzarote, and Surbiton. Tsonga qualified for the 2007 Queen's Club Championships, while at the same time playing in the Surbiton Challenger, which he won. Between the two events, he won five matches during the course of two days. In the second round of the Queen's main draw, he met the sixth seed and defending champion, former World No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt, ranked No. 16 in the ATP rankings. Tsonga won the match after two tiebreaks to seal his most prominent victory since his triumph in ATP debut over former World No. 1 Carlos Moyà, then ranked No. 6 in the world, at Beijing in 2004. Suffering from fatigue, however, Tsonga went on to lose to promising Croatian youngster Marin Čilić in the following round.

At Wimbledon 2007, where he was again awarded a wildcard entry, he reached the fourth round (his first time past round one of a Grand Slam), defeating countryman Julien Benneteau, Nicolás Lapentti, and Feliciano López. His run was halted by his countryman and friend, 12th seed Richard Gasquet, in straight sets. He did not beat a seeded player in his progress to the fourth round (Andy Murray, the potential seed he would have faced, had dropped out). The win brought his ranking up from No. 110 to No. 74, his first time inside the top 75.

Then, at the 2007 US Open, Tsonga defeated Óscar Hernández before beating Tim Henman in what proved to be Henman's last Major.[6][7][8] He then lost to Rafael Nadal in three sets.[9]

The 2007 Grand Prix de Tennis de Lyon tournament started strongly for Tsonga. He beat Vince Spadea,[10][11] Richard Gasquet,[12] and Olivier Rochus, before losing to compatriot Sébastien Grosjean. He partnered Grosjean, however, in men's doubles, where the team was awarded a wildcard. They beat top seeds Julien Benneteau and Michaël Llodra, Fabrice Santoro and Gilles Simon, and then third seeds Arnaud Clément and Nicolas Mahut in the semifinals. Tsonga won his first doubles title, and Grosjean won his first doubles title in three years by defeating Łukasz Kubot and Lovro Zovko in straight sets.

By the end of the year, Tsonga saw his ranking rise over 150 ranking spots into the top 50. Tsonga began 2007 ranked No. 212 in the world, and in early July was in the top 100 at No. 74. In October, Tsonga climbed into the top 50 for the first time in his career, finishing the year ranked no. 43 in the world. Tsonga's year-end 169 ranking spots climb was the biggest climb of any player ranked in the top 75.

In the semifinals, Tsonga delivered a strong performance and shocked second seed Rafael Nadal in straight sets. He did not face a break point until the third set, while breaking the Spaniard five times in the match.[14] The victory earned him a spot in his first Grand Slam final, where he was beaten by World No. 3 Novak Djokovic in four sets. Tsonga was the only player in the tournament to take a set from Djokovic. Following the tournament, he saw his ranking climb to a career-high of World No. 18. Tsonga then competed at the Indian Wells Masters, where he reached the fourth round, before losing to defending champion Rafael Nadal in three sets. Following the tournament, Tsonga saw his ATP ranking climb again to a new career high of World No. 12.

During the week in Montpellier, Tsonga re-aggravated his knee problem. He missed the Paris Masters, as well as the important French Davis Cup final against Serbia. It was a tough end to the season for Tsonga, as he finished the season outside the top 10 for the first time in two years, compiled a 31–16 win-loss record (his worst tally since 2007), and failed to reach even a single championship match in 2010.[18]

2011[edit]Tsonga started his ATP season with an exhibition tournament at Abu Dhabi. However, Tsonga suffered a loss to Arkadiusz Kocyla, but later told the press that being out of tennis for several months last season has made him hungry and determined.

At the Qatar ExxonMobil Open, he defeated Rubén Ramírez Hidalgo, Sergei Bubka, and Guillermo García-López, before losing to Roger Federer in the semifinal. The AAMI Kooyong Classic had Tsonga losing early to Jürgen Melzer. Tsonga then entered the Australian Open. After a thrilling win over Philipp Petzschner and breezing past Andreas Seppi, Tsonga lost to Alexandr Dolgopolov in five sets. The third round exit marked Tsonga's worst performance at the Australian Open since 2007.

Tsonga then participated in the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam, Netherlands. He defeated Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov, Michaël Llodra, and Ivan Ljubičić to reach his first final since winning the Japan Open in 2009, but lost there to Robin Söderling. At the Open 13 tennis tournament, Tsonga lost to Russian Mikhail Youzhny in the quarterfinals. A day later, he declared that he had sustained another ankle injury, which again put him out of Davis Cup action against Austria. Tsonga fell in the opening round at the 2011 BNP Paribas Open.

At the 2011 Sony Ericsson Open, as the 15th seed, Tsonga's poor form continued. He managed to get a win over Teymuraz Gabashvili, but fell to Alexandr Dolgopolov in a match that lasted two days. Afterwards, Tsonga announced that he and his longtime coach Eric Winogradsky had decided to part ways after working together for seven years. At the 2011 Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters, he had a win over Juan Mónaco, but was beaten by Ivan Ljubičić in round two. Then came a first-round loss at the 2011 Estoril Open. Tsonga then found some form at the 2011 Mutua Madrid Open, beating first-time top-10 debutant Nicolás Almagro, before losing to Robin Söderling in the third round. At the 2011 Internazionali BNL d'Italia, he beat juniors rival Marcos Baghdatis, but lost to Roger Federer in the second round.

Tsonga was 19th seed heading into the 2011 French Open. He beat both Jan Hájek and Igor Andreev in straight sets and made it to the third round, where he was defeated by 14th seed Stanislas Wawrinka. At the 2011 Aegon Championships in London, Tsonga received a first-round bye, then beat Michael Berrer and world no. 1 Rafael Nadal, while moving through to the semifinals for the first time in a grass tournament. In the semifinals, he defeated British wildcard James Ward, but he let slip a healthy lead into a disappointing loss against Andy Murray in the final.[19] Just 24 hours later, he arrived at the 2011 Aegon International in Eastbourne as the top seed. In his opening round, he defeated Denis Istomin, but, apparently fatigued, he lost to Radek Štěpánek in round two.

At the 2011 Wimbledon Championships, he defeated Go Soeda, Grigor Dimitrov, Fernando González, and David Ferrer. In the quarterfinals, he stunned the Centre Court crowd by coming from two sets down to defeat Roger Federer. This handed Federer his first loss in a Grand Slam after leading two sets to love, while handing Tsonga only his second win in coming back from two sets down.[20] In the semifinals, however, despite serving for the first set and saving three match points in the third-set tiebreak, he eventually lost to second seed Novak Djokovic in four sets.

At the Rogers Cup in Montreal, Tsonga defeated Fabio Fognini, Bernard Tomic, Roger Federer, and Nicolás Almagro, to set up a Wimbledon semifinal rematch against Novak Djokovic. After trailing 4–6, 0–3, Tsonga retired due to an arm problem. At the 2011 Western & Southern Open, Tsonga defeated Marin Čilić, but lost to American qualifier Alex Bogomolov, Jr.. At the US Open, he defeated Sergei Bubka, Fernando Verdasco, and Mardy Fish. He again met Roger Federer in the quarterfinals, but this time Federer swept him aside in three sets.

Tsonga teamed up with Michaël Llodra to notch an impressive victory over Fernando Verdasco and Feliciano López in Davis Cup play against Spain, but then was crushed by Rafael Nadal in his fourth singles rubber, as France lost the tie against Spain 1–4. Tsonga played at the 2011 Open de Moselle, where he was the top-seeded player. He defeated Mathieu Rodrigues and Nicolas Mahut, and in the semifinals he ended a two-match losing streak against Alexandr Dolgopolov. In the final, Tsonga fought past Ivan Ljubičić in three sets to win the tournament; his first title in almost two years since his triumph in Tokyo.

Tsonga, again as a top seed, played at the 2011 China Open for the first time since 2007. He opened with wins over Grigor Dimitrov, Zhang Ze, and Juan Carlos Ferrero. As expected, his semifinals match against Tomáš Berdych was extremely difficult. Berdych took the first set and Tsonga the second, but Tsonga could not withstand Berdych's growing confidence in a three-set loss. Tsonga was fourth seed for the 2011 Shanghai Rolex Masters. Tsonga lost his first match to Kei Nishikori. Vienna was the next destination for Tsonga in the 2011 Erste Bank Open. Victories over Jarkko Nieminen, Xavier Malisse, and Daniel Brands set up a final against Juan Martín del Potro. The first set was tight with del Potro taking it in a tie-break, but Tsonga prevailed in sets two and three for his second title of the season.

Just two days after his victory in Vienna, Tsonga played his first-round match at the 2011 Valencia Open 500 as second seed. He lost in round two to Sam Querrey. As expected, the home crowd warmed to Jo from the start of the 2011 BNP Paribas Masters. Tsonga had wins over Guillermo García-López, Andreas Seppi, and John Isner, which set up a final against Roger Federer. Federer stormed through the first set and then won a tiebreak in the second to take the title.

As a result of his exploits in the Paris Masters, he qualified for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. Tsonga fell to Federer, beat Mardy Fish, and defeated Rafael Nadal to make it to the semifinals. A win over Tomáš Berdych sent Tsonga to the finals of the year-end championships for the first time in his career. In the final, Tsonga fought bravely, but came up short once again against Roger Federer. Tsonga finished the year matching his 2008 career-high ranking of world no. 6.

2012[edit]
Tsonga at the London 2012 Olympic men's singles quarterfinalJust before 2012 began, Tsonga participated in the Abu Dhabi exhibition tournament in late December 2011, where he lost a match against David Ferrer. Tsonga then began his 2012 season at the 2012 Qatar Open as third seed. Three wins set up a meeting against Roger Federer in the semifinals. However, Federer announced an unexpected withdrawal from the tournament due to a back problem, which gave Tsonga a walkover into the final. In the final, he won against Gaël Monfils and was named champion of the 2012 Qatar Open. Jo-Wilfried then played in the 2012 AAMI Classic exhibition tournament and lost the two matches he played.

A week later, Tsonga had wins over Denis Istomin, Ricardo Mello, and Frederico Gil to make the round of 16 at the 2012 Australian Open. However, against Japanese rookie Kei Nishikori, Tsonga lost a close five set match. Tsonga took some time off before entering the 2012 Open 13. Two routine wins placed him in the semifinalss against Juan Martín del Potro, where he lost in three sets. Next on the calendar was the 2012 Dubai Tennis Championships. Tsonga, seeded fourth, defeated Marcos Baghdatis and Lukáš Rosol, but lost once again to del Potro.

The first Masters Series of the season, the 2012 BNP Paribas Open was disappointing. A retirement by Michaël Llodra and a win over Radek Štěpánek preceded a loss to David Nalbandian, after holding a match point. At the 2012 Sony Ericsson Open, four easy wins paved the way to a quarterfinal encounter with Rafael Nadal. Tsonga fought hard, but it was not quite enough, as Nadal battled to a three-set win.

In Davis Cupplay, Tsonga beat Ryan Harrison and lost to John Isner. France was eliminated from the event. The start of the clay-court run was next at the 2012 Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters. The results were wins against Philipp Kohlschreiber and Fernando Verdasco and a loss against Gilles Simon. The 2012 BMW Open yielded a first-round loss to Tommy Haas. The 2012 Mutua Madrid Open was similar, with a second round loss to Alexandr Dolgopolov. The 2012 Internazionali BNL d'Italia followed. Two solid victories against Viktor Troicki and Juan Martín del Potro set up a loss to top seed Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals.

Tsonga's French Open 2012 started off in shaky fashion after dropping the first set to Russian qualifier Andrey Kuznetsov. However, he closed out the match and then had wins over Cedrik-Marcel Stebe, Fabio Fognini, and Stanislas Wawrinka. In the quarterfinals against Novak Djokovic, he lost in five sets.[21] The grass-court season began with the Aegon Championships. He defeated Britain's Jamie Baker, but was ousted by Ivan Dodig in three extremely tight sets. He also suffered a finger injury in the loss after diving for a ball.

In the days leading up to Wimbledon, it was announced that he had a severely sprained finger, but would still compete. This proved to be a good tournament for Tsonga, with wins over Lleyton Hewitt, Guillermo García-López, Lukáš Lacko, Mardy Fish, and Philipp Kohlschreiber. He then faced Andy Murray for a place in the final, but despite managing to fight back to take the third set, Tsonga was ousted by the world no. 4.

The 2012 London Olympics was next up for Tsonga. His victory over Milos Raonic in the second round became the longest ever (in number of games played) at the Olympics.[22] Fatigue, surprisingly, did not appear to affect Jo-Wilfried in the third round. He eased into the quarterfinals over Feliciano López, but lost to world no. 2 Novak Djokovic. In Olympic doubles, Tsonga represented France alongside Michaël Llodra. Argentinians David Nalbandian and Eduardo Schwank were the French pair's first-round opponents, and Llodra and Tsonga dispatched them comfortably. Next was a win over Leander Paes and Vishnu Vardhan. Against Marcelo Melo and Bruno Soares in the quarterfinals the French pair kept their momentum going, easing to a two set victory for a semifinal berth. Against the Spaniards López and David Ferrer, both teams stood strong, but the Frenchmen did not falter as they took the match 18–16 in the third set. In the finals, they were matched against top seeds, Mike Bryan and his brother Bob. The Americans won in two sets, and he French pair were presented with Olympic silver medals.

Jo-Wilfried's Rogers Cup campaign was an extremely short affair with a second-round loss to fellow Frenchman Jérémy Chardy. He also crashed out in the second round of the 2012 US Open, with a defeat to no. 52 Martin Kližan. After a short break for recovery, Jo was back in France for the 2012 Moselle Open. Tsonga rolled to a semifinal birth with Russian Nikolay Davydenko. The Frenchman had never beaten Davydenko in two previous attempts, but made sure that run was not extended to three with a tight three-set win. The final was an easy two-set win over Andreas Seppi, Tsonga's ninth ATP career title.

At the 2012 China Open, Tsonga had a bye, a win, and a walkover before beating Mikhail Youzhny in the quarter-inals. An easy win over Feliciano López advanced Tsonga to his third final of the year. World no. 2 Novak Djokovic was his opponent. Djokovic pulled away in the second, taking the match in two sets. Tsonga continued his year with the 2012 Shanghai Masters. He had wins over Benoît Paire and Marcos Baghdatis, but he lost in the quarterfinals to Tomáš Berdych in straight sets. The busy schedule continued in Stockholm. Tsonga cruised past Go Soeda and Sergiy Stakhovsky in the opening rounds, and had Baghdatis retire against him after a close semifinal match. This set up a final against Tomáš Berdych – the second time in two weeks. Despite being a set and a break up, Jo-Wilfried succumbed to fatigue and personal pressures and lost in three sets.

At the Valencia Open, Tsonga retired against Xavier Malisse. The Race To London was almost decided. Jo-Wilfried needed a quarterfinal appearance in Paris to secure it for certain. Tsonga came through an extremely tight encounter with Julien Benneteau and then beat Spaniard Nicolás Almagro, securing his place in the ATP World Tour Finals. Jo-Wilfried fell to David Ferrer in the quarterfinals. The World Tour Finals found Tsonga with a new coach, Roger Rasheed. Novak Djokovic was his first round-robin opponent and Tsonga lost in two sets. Two more losses to Tomáš Berdych and Andy Murray ended his season.

2013[edit]Rather than entering an ATP-recognised event, Jo-Wilfried opted for the 2013 Hopman Cup. He was paired with Mathilde Johansson. France first faced Spain. Tsonga defeated Fernando Verdasco, but Johansson lost her singles, and the pair lost the doubles. Tsonga next played USA. Jo demolished John Isner but in similar fashion, Johansson lost to Venus Williams, and the pair lost to the Americans in the mixed doubles. Lastly, France faced South Africa. Tsonga beat Kevin Anderson before Johansson lost to Chanelle Scheepers, and the pair were forced to retire in the doubles with Jo-Wilfried injured. France finished bottom of their group, but despite the injury, Jo was declared fit for the 2013 Australian Open where he reached the quarterfinals but lost a thrilling five setter against Roger Federer. In Rotterdam, he made a surprising first-round exit against young Dutchman Igor Sijsling. Tsonga then played in the Open 13 in Marseille. In the quarterfinals, Tsonga saved five match points to edge Bernard Tomic and then rolled over his countryman Gilles Simon 6–2, 6–2 in the semi-finals. In the final, Tsonga saved a match point and overcame top seed Tomáš Berdych in three sets for his 10th ATP World Tour title. At the 2013 French Open, Tsonga gained a decisive straight sets quarterfinal victory against Swiss Roger Federer, making Tsonga the first French player to reach the semifinals since Gael Monfils in 2008, as well as only the second player after Rafael Nadal to have beaten Federer at both Wimbledon and Roland Garros.

Rivalries[edit]Tsonga vs. Djokovic[edit]Jo-Wilfried Tsonga's most famous rivalry is against Novak Djokovic.[23] They have met 15 times with Djokovic leading 10–5, including 3–1 in the Grand Slams.[24] Their first meeting was in the final of the 2008 Australian Open; Djokovic and Tsonga had defeated the top two players, Roger Federer[25] and Rafael Nadal[26] in their respective semi-finals in straight sets. Djokovic won this match in four sets to win his first Grand Slam singles title.[27] Tsonga then won their next four meetings, before Djokovic stopped the streak at Miami in 2009.

Their next meeting at a Grand Slam was again at the Australian Open, in the 2010 quarter-finals, exactly two years to the day since Djokovic defeated Tsonga to win his first Grand Slam singles title. However, this time it was Tsonga who prevailed, winning in five sets after Djokovic fell ill during the match.[28] It wouldn't be until another year-and-a-half until they met again, with the stakes even higher – in the semi-finals at Wimbledon in 2011, with the winner advancing to his first Wimbledon final. It was their first meeting on grass, and Djokovic prevailed in four sets to advance to his first Wimbledon final,[29] and in the process ending the seven-and-a-half year reign of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal at the top of the rankings. At the 2012 French Open, Tsonga and Djokovic met again in an important match, in the quarter-finals. After losing the first set, Tsonga rallied to take the next two sets and held two match points on Djokovic's serve in the fourth set before the Serb fought back to force a tie-break. Despite the Frenchman saving set points in the breaker, Djokovic took one at the third opportunity. This forced a deciding set which Tsonga lost after more than four hours of play.[30]

They met again two months later at the Olympics, with Tsonga losing in straight sets in the quarter-finals.[31] They met in the final of the 2012 China Open, with Tsonga again losing in straight sets.[32] The pair were drawn in the same pool for the 2012 ATP World Tour Finals. Tsonga lost his first (of three) round robin matches to Djokovic.[33] It was his fifth loss to Djokovic in 2012.

Their most recent meeting was in the quarter-finals of the Indian Wells Masters tournament in 2013. Tsonga lost in straight sets.[34]

Playing style[edit]Tsonga is known for his effectively potent serves, as well as having powerful, heavy forehands and having exceptional touch at the net. He has an offensive baseline style of play, but is also able to mix his style of play up by rushing to the net. He is also currently one of the very few remaining players who often utilizes a serve-and-volley type of play. Tsonga's movement around the court is considered to be very good, considering his height. While he has a powerful repertoire of techniques, he has struggled to play consistently at important moments.

Serve[edit]Tsonga's serve is one of his fastest, strongest and most dominant shots, mixing both slice and speed, so enabling him to create and win easier points, such as an ace or a one-two-punch. Because of the action of his serve, which is dramatically abbreviated, he does very well to create as much power as he does, with speeds of up to 140 mph (225 km/h).

Surfaces[edit]To date, Tsonga has achieved his best results on hard courts, most notably at the Australian Open, where he made the final in 2008, the quarter-final in 2009 and the semi-final in 2010 (the Australian Open plays a Plexicushion Prestige surface). In his career on the ATP circuit, the majority of his final appearances have come on hard courts. On grass, he reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon in 2011 and 2012, and reached the final of the Queen's Club Championships in 2011. In general, Tsonga has struggled on clay, although his clay-court skills are improving, as evidenced by his 2012 season, where he reached the quarterfinals at the French Open, Monte-Carlo, and Rome.

Tsonga reached his first clay court semi-final at the 2013 Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters, where he lost to Rafael Nadal.[35]

Ground strokes and net-play[edit]
Tsonga playing a lunging dive volley against Novak Djokovic in their 2011 Wimbledon semifinalTsonga is known for his aggressive groundstrokes. His forehand and backhand are both effective in setting up points. His powerful, heavy and accurate forehand is his most consistent shot, especially when delivered down the line. Although his backhand is generally not as strong as his forehand during the rallies, he is very capable of hitting attacking shots on his backhand wing. His net play is skillful, especially on attack. He can play both two-handed and one-handed backhand.[36] He added the one-handed backhand into his repertoire midway through 2011; evident in his matches against Murray in the final of Queen's Club and against Federer in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon. Although rarely used as a groundstroke in a neutral rally, it is particularly effective as a passing shot down the line or cross-court.

Equipment[edit]During the off-season in 2009, Tsonga switched racquets from Wilson to Babolat. He currently uses a customized Babolat endorsed as an AeroPro Drive GT racquet, and strings with LUXiLON Alu Power Rough strings. He is sponsored by Adidas for his attire.[37]
