Hopping On The Tsonga Bandwagon

- Sports -

I know I’m not the only person on the Jo-Wilfried Tsonga bandwagon, right?

Maybe it was the sleep stuck in my eyes, or the fresh dew in the air, but watching the Austrailian Open highlights this morning, Tsonga looked like an absolute beast on his way to upsetting the No. 2 — the capri pants-wearing Frenchman, Rafael Nadal.

Check the clips of Tsonga putting in work, and note the nifty drop shots.

After the match Nadal didn’t seem too sold on Tsonga’s consistency:

“He’s improving,” Nadal said. “He improve a lot. But the truth is I think he can’t play at this level every time, no? Running unbelievable, physically very explosive, everything. What I can say?”

Here’s an idea of what Nadal can say — “Wow, that bastard just beat me! Lucky punk!”

And if it’s any bonus to the hype, doesn’t Tsonga look like Muhammad Ali in this picture?
