Jo-Wilfred Tsonga produced a stunning performance today, beating number 1 seed Novak Djokovic 6-2 6-2 in only 63 minutes.
Probably not the start Djokovic wanted before the US Open later this month. Having come through a really tough opening 3 set match against another talented Frenchman, Gael Monfils, he was completely outplayed today. All is not lost for fans of the Serbian however, as Cincinnatti provides another chance to find his feet pre Flushing Meadows.
It’s Tsonga’s first win against Djokovic since the 2010 Australian Open, and Jo is sure to fancy his chances against Murray after such a strong performance- plus the fact that Murray has come through to the Quater Final stage via a walkover, Gasquet withdrawing due to injury.
It’ll be a tricky match to call, what with both men playing so well. Analysis of that match will hopefully be forthcoming soon!
Just a quick update on the latest upsets from the Tournament. When I can I’ll post some more thoughts on all the latest- thanks for reading!
