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 he should at least reach SF's, but then Cilic or Youzhny could threaten Jo, esp. on clay.

Great result... Just great.
Now Nole will be a really difficult challenge, but Tsonga has beaten him before.
I have a little hope here.

Second clay M-1000 QF of the season, well done :)

Whatever people say about Tsonga this season, he's doing better than he was last year at this stage and has been more consistent. And his 1st top ten win of the season I think. Hopefully he puts in a good performance. Not expecting a win, although it would be a nice surprise.

Just remember that the fastest courts are in the 2nd half of the year. Grass is coming soon and that will act as a springboard for the rest of the year! :D

Definite progress this week. A win against Del Potro. Yes he was injured, but it's all about the confidence. And then the 1st set against Djokovic was really good from Jo - best i've seen him play on clay. Hopefully a 4th Round/QF at RG and then onto grass...

I'm kinda scared because he defends so many points in the second half of the season.
But i'm happy with QF in MC and Rome.

He needs to show his strongest stronga in Wimbledon.

Jo is a SERIOUS contender for Wimbledon this year. His grass success is just beginning. Wimbledon is my Jo time because Gael is horrific on grass.

I would like Tsonga in QF of RG for the first time.
Tsonga needs to improve his clay level, I think he's doing it right, 2 QF, victories over Verdasco and JMDP.
French crowd needs some clay-players. GO JO!

Let's see Jo take it to Djokovic and actually win for once. Not holding my breath but he has a good chance to earn some much needed points ahead of the pressure of defending last year's achievements.

Almost in QF.
If he could do it. This would be the best clay season so far.

Come on!!!
I like Stan, but this is Tsonga's moment.

I'm pretty sad he couldn't do it in straights. But who cares, time to WIN.

Unexpected that Jo managed to get to the QF, unexpected that he managed to take a set of Novak, even more unexpected that he had 4 match points. Great effort but the way he lost still feels like a disappointment.
