Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is finally going to make it to the court

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is finally going to make it to the court after a long gap. He will appear in the second round of the ongoing Miami Open tomorrow.

Tsonga has been completely absent from the scenes this season. He had been out with an injured arm.

A bye in the opening round helped Tsonga make his way straight to round no. 2 where he will take on Tim Smyczek.

There has not been any confrontation between these two players on the tour so far. It’s the first occasion that they would be competing and though on ability, you still feel that Tsonga is much better; in current circumstances you can’t say that he is the clear favourite.

Tsonga himself seemed to be playing down his chances when he showed up for the pre tournament press conference. Read more »
