Well Work It Out Tsonga!! The Frenchman Halts Nadal's Advance in London
Friday, June 10, 2011
Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga celebrates after defeating World No. 1 Rafael Nadal in the Queen's Club Championships.
The Spanish world number one, who claimed a record-equalling sixth French Open title on Sunday, looked on course for the semi-final when he took an opening set tiebreak but appeared to run out of steam as fifth seed Tsonga seized control.
A full-length diving volley helped Tsonga earn two break points at 4-4 in the second set and, when Nadal hit long, the match began to slide away in the evening sunshine.
Tsonga broke Wimbledon champion Nadal's serve at the start of the deciding set and for once there was nothing left as he slumped to defeat.
Tsonga will play British wildcard James Ward or fellow Frenchman Adrian Mannarino for a place in Sunday's final.
