Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is one of the players in my 'Group B' who have the outside chance of winning the French Open this year. He has a good record of winning over the Top 3 players and he has the game to do it. However, he got a bit of a scare today in the first set, as qualifier, Andrey Kuznetsov, stormed to a 61 first set victory. However, the young Russian faded in the next three sets as he could not keep up with the muscular playing of Tsonga - whose game and service improved as the game continued.
