He always been competitive,” Tsonga said of Federer. “The only thing, the guy in front of him, because they all continues to be better and better every day. At the start I think it was more difficult for him when they start to play the same level as him.“Now he get used to it, and he's playing well. For sure, he went back with a very good shape this year. Yeah, but he always been a good, very good, player.”Tsonga famously rallied from a two-set deficit to defeat Federer, 3-6 6-7 (3) 6-4 6-4 6-4, in the 2011 Wimbledon quarterfinals.The 12th-seeded Frenchman opened with a 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 triumph over British wild card Cameron Norrie today.
Tsonga says there’s a simple reason why Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and Federer have combined to win 14 consecutive Wimbledon titles.They’re better than everyone else.Asked why no other men have been able to break through and win Wimbledon, Tsonga replied: “Why? Just because they are not enough good for the moment, and the other guys are just too good. That's it. There is not many things to do about it. Just they are better, and they win because they are better.” Photo credit: Stephen White/Camerasport
