Djokovic destroys Tsonga to reach the semis in Indian Wells

Too easy for the world no.1 that this time he didn’t even need to play a perfect tennis as Jo was definitely not in one of his best days.

The difference was pretty clear in the total points won (58-30 for Djokovic). The Serb blasted 8 aces on 8 service games to drop only 5 points on his service games. Conversely, Tsonga had to face 9 break points to drop his service 4 times.

From Nole

“I tried to pay attention to my game,” said Nole . “I really didn’t care about how my opponent felt. I just tried to focus on the job I needed to do, and my performance was really good. I served really well and used the shots around the court well, and that’s what matters for me.

“When it was important, I didn’t allow him to come back to the match. I didn’t allow him to have an opportunity to believe that he can maybe have a break back and get back into the match. So that was very important for me to stay mentally committed throughout the whole match.”

From Jo 

“I’m disappointed about my feelings today and the whole match.” said the Frenchman  “I made a lot of mistakes. It was tough for me to keep the ball in the court. Not because he put me under a lot of pressure. I don’t know how to explain that, but it was a day for me without sensation. Everything I tried to do, I missed it.”
