El mundo del tenis se ha quedado en shock este miércoles tras el anuncio de la retirada de Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, que ha sido una de las raquetas de Francia más destacadas en las últimas dos décadas y que este miércoles anunció su retirada como profesional después de Roland Garros, donde jugará su último torneo tras recibir una invitación.
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, a former Australian Open runner-up and world number five, said Wednesday that he will retire from tennis after this year's French Open. "A few weeks ago I decided I was going to stop at Roland Garros this year," the 36-year-old Tsonga said in a video posted to social media. "It took me a long time to make this decision," the Frenchman added. "My body is telling me 'you can't go any further than what I give you'." Tsonga, unseeded, lost the 2008 Australian Open final to Novak Djokovic as the Serb claimed the first of his 20 Grand Slam titles.
