Tsonga sums up his career: "Some people say I could have been better"

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is one of the most successful French players on the ATP Tour. Since breaking to the Top 10 back in 2008, he ended every year till 2017 as part of the Top 15. The Frenchman had problems with injury in 2018 and didn't manage to comeback among the best 10 yet, however, he says that if somebody offered him a tenth of his career, he would have taken it.

"We don't all start with the same database. I feel like I've got the most out of it. Some people say I could have been better there or in other situations. But when I was in my small village of Savigné l'Evêque near Le Mans and someone had offered me a paper telling me that I was going to do 1/10th of my career, I would have signed immediately. The body is better. I can't say it's perfect, it will be difficult to find the high level. I continue to work every day to see the end of the tunnel. But I hope to go back on the court and give it my all, as I have been able to do throughout my career. Relive emotions like before," Tsonga said.

"I see the glass half full. I was able to play against these players there, even sometimes beat them in great moments! Each meeting against them was like a final. Imagine, I watched Roger Federer on television! He is one of those sportsmen who made me vibrate! Finding yourself in the same corridor to enter the court with these legends, it is just exceptional," said Tsonga.
