Wasn't there a time when Jo-Wilfried Tsonga had Djokovic's number? Does anybody remember that? I sure as hell do. In fact, because he appeared to freeze in the headlights in Australia in 2008, the subsequent ease with which he dispensed with his two years' junior rival in 5 of the next 6 encounters over the next two years, left me with the sneaking suspicion that the result in Melbourne had in fact been a fluke...
...And ultimately, Tsonga's biggest problem is that he's just too damn...well, how can I say this...French! Not that there's anything inherently wrong withbeingFrench - mynew favorite playeris french, my old favorite player (the aforementioned Henri Leconte) is French,my favorite female playerwas French Belgian, andmy favorite backhandin tennis is Swiss French, my inspiration in tenniswas French.
HEY JO: WHERE YOU GONNA RUN TO NOW?
