This came after suffering an injury to his right knee that saw him ruled out for most of last year.
He was nominated alongside Andy Murray who also has had a remarkable return to the Tour and for Tsonga he is very pleased to be nominated and said it means a lot.
"Since my injury last year, I have worked a lot to come back to my best level. Very happy and proud of this nomination! Thank you all for your great support every day, it means a lot to me! Let's do it even better in 2020!"
