My favourite Tsonga memory is Wimbledon 2011 when he came back from two sets down Tsonga just took the match to Federer with aggressive power tennis unbelievable performance that was
I think Federer remarked in the press conference that he only broke Tsonga once in the first two sets so Tsonga wasn't playing badly by any means, and then he couldn't break Tsonga for the rest of the match
@@fereification funny how there are several different comment threads saying that exact thing though. must be..... i dunno.... a highly shared sentiment or something (;
I remember that one rolland garros run he had I actually saw his match live vs berdych in thevrain and tsonga was in his prime in that tourney. Unfortunately wawrinka was an absolute monster in that tourney. Everyone always struggled against that guy and his crzy backhand power. I think even novak lost to him in the finals but long story short If it could ve happened it definitely was during that 2015 rolland garros
I watched Tsonga play at Wimbledon, and the stands were quite empty so I had a whole row to myself. He was losing and looked to the stands like "what do I do?" and since his coach wasnt there and I stood out having my own row, he looked at me. I motioned to play to the opponents backhand. For the next game he tried it, but still lost. Kinda funny that I coached Tsonga for a game.
En France nous aimons beaucoup nous plaindre de nos sportifs. Personnellement je suis Français, Sarthois, Manceau et j'ai pas mal trainée mes guêtres au tennis club des trois vallées de Coulaines où Jo a fais ses premières classes. Inutile de dire donc que je le suis de très près depuis ses 15 ans. Bref s'il y a un joueur qui aura tout tenté pour espérer toucher les étoiles c'est bien Jo. On le disait fini à 20 ans, il s'est battu et pendant toute sa carrière il a essayé de se mettre au niveau des étoiles (il en a d'ailleurs dégommé plusieurs parmi les plus brillantes). Bravo et bon anniversaire Jo, je n'oublierai pas ton épopée Australienne de 2008 et les heures passées au club de Coulaines pour regarder tes matches de 1/4, 1/2 et finale!!
Tsonga had one of the most powerful serve on the tour, one of the most powerful forehand and was one of the greatest at the net, his backhand was his only weakness as he wasn't that consistent in every matches, but when it was on, he was definitly a perfect player, Toronto 2014 run and AO 2008 against Nadal and Djokovic, and RG 2012 against Djokovic are enough to show and prove how good he could be. One of the best player outside the Big 3 + Murray
I always believed Tsonga would have won A Grand Slam if French Open was played on grass. It is sad that so many great French Players couldn't win Grand Slam atleast in their home place. I thought at least in Women Tour some one like Garcia would one day win FO. But the way Garcia turned out is very disappointing. Anyway, Thank u Tsonga for so many Great matches/memories.
Happy birthday tsonga الجدير بالذكر ان هذا اللاعب ظل طيلة مسيرته فى الملاعب على خلق ممتاز وابدا لم يثر اى مشاكل مع اى من منافسيه فى الملعب فتحيه له مننا جميعا
I saw Tsonga at the French in 2017. He must have been eager to get off court that day cause he went for winners on every ball he hit. The French crowd were trying to cheer him on to no avail. He is playing much higher percentage tennis in these clips. I still shake my head wondering what he was thinking that day. He lost in straights.
Tsonga beating Federer at Wimbledon was incredible A lot of fans miss him Best player not to win a slam.. his highest level was better than Berdych, Ferrer, Dimitrov and Soderling and the others who didn’t win a slam
@@roninihanini Murray is 34 I think, so Nadal, Federer, Djocovic, Wawrinka, Delpotro and many otherr are part og this generation. Murray is an exceptional player, but he's not better than Nadal, Djocovic, Federer. He was equal in the big four's era (2010-2017), but he was not better and now due to injuries, he can't perform unfortunately on his highest level. As for Delpotro or Warinka, he might better but not by a "large margin".
@The Matrix Murray's career is better than Wawrinka's+Del Potro's+Cilic's. Murray was the most consistent victim of big 3 greatness.. in any other era he could've won at least 6-7 gs. Can't say that about either of Wawrinka, Cilic or Delpo.

@@sridattavishruth4192 not at all. Wawrinka almost always lost to the big 3, Murray actually consistently rivaled them. Delpo had the game to be a great player but his injuries always kept him away from reaching that level.
There is no big 4... No matter how much you would like to add Murray to the three legends just because he's british, he can't be considered an equal to Federer, Nadal or Djokovic!
He’s older and past his prime now so rn seems like he certainly won’t have any chance, particularly if u mean grand slams. Back in the day he got real close tho. Amazing player

Happy 36th birthday, Jo-Wilfried! 🥳
What's your favourite Tsonga moment?
None. We like rublev
Wimbledon 2011 quarterfinals is mine
The diving volley against Nadal, I will always remember that.
@jsjwjwjw jsjsje the fact that he's way better and much more entertaining. Plus he wins. Tsonga loses a lot. Can't keep watching losers.
@@theTeflonDon1 When did you started to follow ATP ? Last year ?
One of the crowd favorites. A guy that entertained everyone when he was at a high level. Miss the guy and his unique celebration. 😟
I loved that Toronto run he had in 2014:
3R: beats Djokovic
QF: beats Murray
SF: beats Dimitrov
F: beats Federer
Sheesh I didn't know he won that one! How I missed that?
2014 to 2017 were the best tennis years ngl great vibes. I hope we get more charismatic and talented players in the next gen

The greatest French tennis player in my opinion who deserves winning a few grand slams if not for the big 4 era
Such a good player ! He deserved to win a grand slam...
The curse of the frenchmen...
No one " deserves " to win a grand slam. You've to earn it
He got a runner up at least

France should be super proud to have an athlete like him in their midst. Hope to see some more memorable winners from him before he hangs his racquet!
Tsonga has around 30% victory against the big three over many games played against them which is really high.
Happy bday, Jo!
The most impressive memory is 2008 AO semi final. His performance was perfect so we called him Muhammad Ali.
Probably to me the most entertaining player, when he is in shape he his incredible. Serve forehand voley feeling and power, he have everything
Such a joy to watch, one of my favorite players✨
You know, I forgot how beautiful Jo-Wilfried's game is...😯😀
The 2008 AO run The best performances I can recall from him.
He should have won that AO final against Novak
Real talent
What a player he was back in the day
4:40 woooowwww what a set point
Legend can play both single and double handed backhand!
why? they're both awesome companies, and there are these little things called contracts that involve money
This guy has touch, has power, has speed. What a gangster of a player

So y'all still forcing the ''Big 4'' thing?
There was a big four and then they all got old
