TENNIS ATP TORONTO – 4th of August 2014. J. Tsonga d. E. Roger-Vasselin 7-6, 6-1. An interview with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
Q. Quite a tough first set, and then the second set you run away with it. What was the difference for you?
JO WILFRIED TSONGA: I was a little bit tight at the beginning, and he was pretty aggressive. And after winning the first set, it give me, of course I felt a little bit more free. Then I played better tennis.
Q. This is obviously your first tournament since Wimbledon. How do you assess today’s match and where you’re at coming into the US Open sort of season?
JO WILFRIED TSONGA: It’s always difficult when you didn’t play for a few weeks, but it was my choice and I practiced a lot during those weeks. Of course, you know, when you come on the court for the first time again, you want to be good. You want to see if your practice was good or not.
So I was a little bit more stressful, but in the second set, you know, I played well. So it’s good.
