Jo-Wilfried Tsonga faced a crucial match against Tomas Berdych in the London Masters, needing a victory to maintain reasonable chances of qualifying for the semi-finals. Both players had lost their first matches at the tournament, with Tsonga falling to Novak Djokovic and Berdych losing to Andy Murray.
The match was crucial for Tsonga, considering his previous success in the London Masters despite an initial defeat last year. Despite the challenge, the French player aimed to secure a win against Berdych, who had defeated him twice in the previous month in Shanghai and the Stockholm tournament final. The outcome of this match would significantly impact Tsonga’s chances of advancing in the tournament.
