Tsonga reaches the semifinal in Metz

It’s a good return to competition for Tsonga.

The Frenchman reaches the semifinal in Metz beating world no. 80 Tobias Kamke in 3 sets. Jo didn’t play his finest game as he still need to find his tennis after been out for so long, but winning this kind of matches gives the confidence.

Jo struggled a bit in converting breaking points (2 out of 11) and with his first serve percentage (only 58). Finally he won the match scoring 100 points vs. Kamke’s 90. Match Stats.
