Jo Willie Tsonga Goes Out in Style !
"I'm a French player, I'm a Black player, I'm an old player, I'm a young player" -- Tsonga
"I don't want to talk about the match, I want to talk about Jo." -- Ruud
Played well in 4 set loss to contender Casper Ruud.
“Congratulations for an enormous career, I took great pleasure to play against you, even to lose against you,” Roger Federer, who also lost in straight sets to Tsonga here in the quarter-finals, said in a tribute video, paying the Frenchman the highest praise. “We had some great battles all these years, we are going to miss you on the circuit.”
Tsonga, who logged 467 ATP wins and 18 ATP titles during his career, will be known for his charisma even more than his eye-catching athleticism, booming serves and magical touch around the net.
