Tsonga survives to play another day

By Reuters in London | China Daily | Updated: 2016-07-05 08:27

For a Frenchman, being involved in a long-or rather very, very long - five-set epic against JohnIsner at Wimbledon had a feeling of deja vu about it.

But Jo-Wilfried Tsonga made sure he didn't end up on the losing side as his compatriot Nicolas Mahut did six years ago after he saved a match point to beat the American marathonman 6-7(3), 3-6, 7-6(5), 6-2, 19-17 on Sunday.

A backhand volley finally carried Tsonga into the fourth round after four hours and 24 minutes of nerve-jangling drama, with the fifth set alone lasting two hours and eight minutes.
