Tsonga triumphs in Marseille!

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga wins his second title in weeks!

The Frenchman is having a fantastic 2017 after he reached the quarters in Doha and Melbourne, the semi-final in Montpellier, and he won the titles in Rotterdam and Marseille.

Jo-Wilfried triumphed in Marseille after he defeated his compatriot and great friend Lucas Pouille 6-4 6-4. Even if the score seems to be “even”, Tsonga was vastly superior in his tennis to drop just six points on his serve vs. Pouille’s 21. The match lasted just 69 minutes, and this is Tsonga’s 14th career title (the 3rd in Marseille).

After the match, Jo-Wilfried commented

“I’m extremely happy I won this week. I played really well. I was very solid until the end. It’s my 14th title, and I hope it won’t be the last. I feel great physically. I have worked really hard since the beginning of my career. It’s amazing to win two titles in a row.”
