PARIS — Jo-Wilfried Tsonga bid an emotional farewell to tennis in a special presentation on Court Philippe Chatrier at Roland Garros after losing his first-round match Tuesday at the French Open to Casper Ruud.
PARIS: Jo-Wilfried Tsonga gave Norway's eighth-seeded Casper Ruud a run for his money in a tight French Open first round battle but predictably headed into a tear-jerking retirement with a 6-7(6) 7-6(4) 6-2 7-6(0) defeat on Tuesday (May 24).
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, a former Australian Open runner-up and world number five, bid an emotional goodbye to tennis at Roland Garros on Tuesday after losing in the first round to Casper Ruud.
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was left close to tears as his back injury came back to haunt him in what was the final match of his career. The former world No 5 is retiring at the French Open and was serving for the fourth set against eighth seed Casper Ruud when he appeared unable to serve and was forced to call the trainer ahead of the fourth set tiebreak. He tried to finish his last ever match but was forced to bring down the curtain on a glittering 18-year career in sad fashion as his opponent won 6-7(8) 7-6(4) 6-2 7-6(0).
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga signed off with a typically spirited display as his Roland-Garros retirement party ended with injury heartbreak in his first-round defeat to world No. 8 Casper Ruud.
