Injured Tsonga won’t play the 2013 US Open

Tough life for Jo!

After missing every tournament after Wimbledon where he got an injury to his left knee, Tsonga announced he won’t be fit to play also the US Open.

In a stern communicate he posted on his website

“Today I have to take care of me and make sure I can play a hundred percent. The thinking is simple, the doctors told me that I had at least two months for my tendon is partially healed and five months to be completely healed.

It would be stupid to go there knowing full well that I have no chance because I’m not prepared enough.

Everything that happened to me helps me a lot. I know exactly what I have. I know exactly how long it will be before I put on top. This is an injury that I’ve had. Whenever I hurt myself, I’m back, I often come back again even stronger. I scheduled my return to Metz. I still have one month, it will come soon enough, but I am optimistic! ”

Pity… so.. see you in Metz!!!
