Tennis and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga

Hello, we are Pauline and Alice. We like playing tennis every Friday for an hour, because we can let off stream and unwind after a long week at school.We like playing tennis as much as watching a match? We are fans of Amélie Mauresmo, Gaël Monfils, JO-Wilfried Tsonga and Rafael Nadal.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is a French tennis player, born on 17th of April 1985 in Le Mans.
His career bagan in Sarthe, then he spent two years in intensive training for potentional stars at Poitiers when he was 13. In 1999 he became France Champion for 13 to 14 year-old and won the Junior US Open. He then entered the National Institute for Sport & Physical Education (INSEP). since 2002 he has been part of the Roland Garros National Training Center (CNE). 2004 marked a turning point in his career, he left the junior team and went to train with a former CNE star. Jo-Wilfried won many matches, including one against the world N°4 player: Carlos Moya.
2008 was a year of highs an lows. On the one hand,he beat players as great as Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal; on the other hand, a knee injury forced him to retire from the Roland Garros tournament, as well as the Olympic Games of Beijing.

His main strenght is his impressive size with 90kg of muscle! He uses his physical strenght to advantage, playing from the baseline and hitting the ball straight over the net. He has a powerfull service. All these advantages heve led to his being classed 11th plaer of the world ranking: that is to say the third best French player after Simon and Monfils.
