Tsonga eyes Capitala World Tennis Championship
The Frenchman will arrive in Abu Dhabi for the Capitala World Tennis Championship later this month
Abu Dhabi: Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the charismatic French number one, will always be remembered for the way he burst on to the scene in the Australian Open in 2008.
His swashbuckling performance took the then 22-year-old all the way to the final and thousands of adoring Australian fans along with him for an unforgettable ride.
Tsonga didn't win the Australian Grand Slam that year, but he did announce his presence as a world-class player and a serious contender to win the top titles.
The Frenchman will arrive in Abu Dhabi for the Capitala World Tennis Championship later this month with exactly that in mind — winning.
In October this year, he won his fifth career ATP World Tour title in Tokyo, defeating Russian Mikhail Youzhny in the final to end the season in the top 10 for a second year in a row.
Finishing among the world's best once again is something he is proud of, but he knows there is so much more to come.
"I would love to win in Abu Dhabi and make the best possible start to the season by beating the world's top players,'' Tsonga said.
