More on Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
Description from Wikipedia:
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga Petsonga (born April 17, 1985) is a French professional tennis player. He is currently ranked 7th in the world.
Born in Le Mans, Tsonga has a French mother, Évelyne, and a Congolese father, Didier, who moved to France in the 1970s to play handball. His second cousin, Charles N'Zogbia, plays football for Wigan Athletic as a midfielder.
Tsonga is a member of the Tennis Club de Paris (TCP) a famous club in Paris, France.
Tsonga recently 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 dominant straight sets win over the then world number 2 Rafael Nadal in the semifinals. Tsonga eventually lost to world number 3 Novak Djokovic in the final in 4 sets, after winning the first set, the only set Djokovic dropped during the 2008 Australian Open.
Tsonga won his first career ATP Masters Series championship at the 2008 Paris Masters on November 2, 2008. In the final, he defeated the No. 8 seed David Nalbandian in 3 sets. Tsonga, for the first time, thus qualified for the 2008 Tennis Masters Cup in Shanghai, China.
