Rafael Nadal (SPN) [2] defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) [8] 7-5 7-5

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga bowed out against Rafael Nadal in straight sets. It was a closely fought contest with the crowd strongly behind the French Number 1, but Tsonga was not in the best form and crumbled slightly at the end of each of the sets and it was enough for Nadal to gain the win which takes him into the Semi Finals of Paris to play Novak Djokovic (SRB) [3]

But this may not be the season end for Tsonga who will be an alternate at the end of year championships in London.

After the wrist injury he suffered against Mikhail Youzhny last week Tsonga will defend his Paris Master’s 1000 Title. He recieves a Bye in the first round as he is seeded 8th. He will play either Victor Hanescu (ROU) or Albert Montanes (SPN) in his 2nd Round match. And has quite a promising section of the draw, pending of course the wrist injury he suffered last week.

Robin Soderling (SWE) defeats Jo-Wilfried Tsonga [5] (FRA) 6-3 6-3

It was a tough day for Tsonga, getting off to a slow start with a few miss hits off the forehand wing, Tsonga struggling to cope with the heavy topspin forehands from Soderling. Tsonga soon found some better form but the match seemed to revolve around a point at 3-4* 30-30 in the first set. Tsonga made what seemed a superb backhand pass up the line and thought he won the point to give him break point, he won the following point and thought he had broke back. Soderling thought so too as he chucked the balls out of his pocket towards the balls boys. The umpire calls “deuce” leaving Tsonga confused, irritated and soon built into massive fustration, smashing his racket and handing it to a person in the crowd. The line judge called the ball out but no-one baring the umpire seemed to hear it. Hawkeye showed the ball cleary on the line. Poor umpiring as it was such an important part of the match he should have made sure Tsonga didn’t want to challenge the out call and knew the correct score.

Take nothing away from Soderling he played a great match but you feel it might have been different if justice was done and Tsonga got the break back in the first set. Tsonga fought hard in the second set but seemed to be riddled with fustration from the incident in the first set, Tsonga unable to serve to his usual high standards. Soderling served out the match with supreme accuracy, serving 3 aces in a row giving Tsonga virtually no chance to get back into it.

Hard luck Jo.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) [5] Defeated Shoa-Xuan Zeng (CHN) 6-3 6-3

Tsonga won his opening 2nd round match in straight sets at the Shanghai Masters defeating Wild Card Shoa-Xuan Zeng from China. Tsonga was untroubled on serve throughout only dropping a total of 6 points. Zeng’s service games were a struggle and he could only win 7/20 (35%) points on his second serve. Tsonga is looking to maintain a top 8 ranking to reserve a place at the end of year championships in London and will play a contender for a top 8 spot, Robin Soderling in the 3rd round. Soderling has been impressive in recent weeks only losing to Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Davydenko, so it will take a good performance from Tsonga to win.  The winner will be well placed to make the latter stages of the masters as 4th seed Juan Martin Del Potro who was in their section of draw had to withdraw against Jurgen Melzer.
