Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was down 2-0 sets to an amazing Marcos Pagdatis, but found a way to pull off a huge upset and advance to the 3rd round of his home Grand Slam for the 8th year in a row!
Tsonga found it dark against Pagdati, but he did not give up. He wasn’t disappointed when he was down two sets, he waited for his chance and played better tennis as time went on.
After 3 hours and 30 minutes, the 31-year-old Frenchman took a massive 6-7 (6), 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 victory to advance to the 3rd round of Roland Garros for the 8th consecutive year .
The Live of our website:
FIRST SET 7-6 (8-6): A very good start for Pagdatis, who, playing nice tennis, managed to make it 1-0 in the sets and take a significant lead ahead of the continuation.
SECOND SET 6-3: The Cypriot tennis player is having a great day. In 1 hour and 40 minutes he leads with a 2-0 set of the Frenchman, whom he has never defeated in his career and of course he is now one breath away from qualifying for his third Roland Garros.
THIRD SET 3-6: Tsonga dropped to 1-2 sets and reentered the… trick of qualifying. The Frenchman took advantage of Marcos’ fatigue – at some points – and in half an hour took the set, turning the next one into an extremely important one.
FOURTH SET 2-6: The Frenchman took the fourth set as well, leveled at 2-2 and now the case of qualification hangs by a thin thread.
FIFTH SET 2-6: Fatigue eventually took its toll on Marcos Pagdati, who bowed out in the final set to be beaten 2-3 by Tsonga and out of the tournament in Paris.
