New year.
The first title came in the 2nd month, when Jo won Marseille by defeating Tomas Berdych in the final 3-6 7-6(6) 6-4



ALLEZ, JO!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well guys. I have decided to create a brand new thread about the StrongaWagon. Who needs to be revived like in the good-old times.
2011... A year of surprises. Tsonga getting strong again, putting the so called "Duopoly" under his strong arm and punching 'em like Ali.

The Ali of tennis is back. He's just a deserved top 10 again, 2011 is the new 2008.
He's the only player that the "big 4" fear.
He's the only one who can stop the non-slam-france.

He's waving the french flag again, and this time, there's no mercy.


They fear him... And they're right doing it.

Well, very nice year on 2011, time to 2012. Jo is now having a deserved rest of 15 days, he will spend five at I. of St.Maurice and 5 more at Reunion Island, where he will play an exho vs Gael Monfils on grass on 2 December. On December 12th, he will start again his physical training and on 27 December he will play an exho on Abu Dhabi, with Nole, Nadal, Federer, Ferrer & Monfils. Then he plays Doha[3-9 January], and an exho in Kooyong for preparing A.O. In Kooyong he will play with Gilles & Gael among other important names.

At the moment Jo is up 62 10 against Ferrer, if he wins he would play Nadal. It's more about Ferru's bad play than Jo playing huge. Jo is slicing 75% of his BH:p, and his FH is the best thing today, he has 7 FH winners or so

His movement is really bad today :(, i know it's off-season, but he needs to train his footwork in order to play better the Australian Open.

Tough game, but he manages to hold saving a BP with an incredible Fh winner. 4-3 up.

Great game from Jo, he holds to love. He hit a 1 handed BH passing that was :eek:, and also a couple of good forehands.

5-4 up, Ferrer serving 15-0

Jo saves Set Point for Ferrer, with a good passing shot. 5-6 down on 2nd set Tie-Break. But now, set for Ferrer, 7-6(5). We will go onto a decider, 6-2 6-7.

Jo didn't played as agressive as he plays on the TB, and Ferrer is starting to play at a good level.

Ferrer 5-2 up. Jo lost his focus, and his game is very up and down.

And it's done now, Ferrer defeats Tsonga by 2-6 7-6(5) and 6-2. He played with a lot of ups and downs, and he has to improve his footwork and get his backhand better, he had like 25+ UE's on the BH side. Next Stop is Doha, where is the third seed.

The Doha draw is out, pretty good draw for Jo-Willy :):

Alex Bogomolov Jr(RUS,6)- Filippo Volandri(ITA)
Albert Ramos(SPA)- Dmitry Tursunov(RUS)
Jabor Al Mutawa(QAT,WC)- Flavio Cipolla(ITA)
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga(FRA,3)- Malek Jaziri(TUN)

He should make the semis easily, tough he lost to Bogomolov in Cincinatti 2011, but I think he will defeat him easily. In the semis, Federer is most likely to appear :eek:( Jo has lost the 4 last times to him).

Jo can win the tournament! Jo can beat Fed right now.
I think Fed's gonna give his best at the AO, but before that, Fed would not be in his "God-like mode" and Jo can win the match with his awesome Forehand.

And I also see Jo beating Rafa, Jo at his best would OWN Rafa in Hardcourts.

Jo really struggling with Jaziri, #118, won the 1st set 76(5), and is down 45 on the second, on his serve. Still no breaks on this match, Jo 0/2, Jaziri 0/4.
