Tsonga Takes Out Henman as Henman's Tennis Career Nears its End
Saturday, September 1, 2007
Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga effectively guaranteed that Great Britain's Tim Henman would not win a Grand Slam Tournament in his tennis career lifetime by defeating him yesterday by a score of 7-6 (7/2), 2-6, 7-5, 6-4.
Prior to the loss, Henman had already decided that this would be his last ATP Tour Grand Slam Tournament. The soon-to-be 33-year-old Englishman only has his country's Davis Cup clash with Croatia at Wimbledon next month to follow.
"Relief is not quite the right word but I am ready to get on with the next part of my life," he said.
"I've had a fantastic career - but there are a lot of exciting things ahead of me - two young kids and another on the way.
"I feel so clear in mind that time is time and that a couple of good matches at the Davis Cup and I will leave this sport a happy man."
Tsonga is also a happy man! He moves on to the 3rd round of the Open.
