Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, having lost quickly to Ferrer at Bercy, now has some time to rest before the Masters. In his first match, Tsonga faces Novak Djokovic, who also had a disappointing performance in Paris. Despite the challenging prospect of playing against Djokovic, Tsonga may find an opportunity given Djokovic’s recent form.
Novak Djokovic, already guaranteed to finish the season as the world number 1, anticipates a tough match against the French player of Congolese origin. Djokovic acknowledges their history of intense battles and describes Tsonga as a great server who knows how to use the energy of the crowd. Djokovic holds an 8-5 advantage in their head-to-head matchups, with four consecutive victories against Tsonga. The Serbian is well aware that it will be a difficult match for both players.
