Tsonga Knocks Federer Out of Wimbledon
The biggest Wimbledon upset this year as Tsonga knocks Federer out of the tennis competition in the quarter-final.
It was a remarkable victory for Jo-Wilfried Tsonga as he had to come back from 2 sets down against Federer, a player who has never lost at Wimbledon or any of the other Grand Slams, after going 2 sets up.
After claiming the first 2 sets it looked like it would be business as usual for Roger Federer, on course for yet another semi-final, but Tsonga had other ideas.
Tsonga hadn’t been playing badly in the first 2 sets but he did take time to get going in the first set and was broken quickly. The second set was closer, won by Federer in the tie break.
In the 3rd set Tsonga started to become even more aggressive, attacking the Federer serve and hitting some huge shots.
Suddenly everything started going in for the Frenchman and he managed to break Federer’s serve once in each of the next 3 sets, finally winning through 3-6,6-7,6-4,6-4,6-4.
Tsonga will now play Djokovic in the semi-final on Friday after he beat the Australian qualifier Bernard Tomic.
