Jo-Wilfried Tsonga

Although he has struggled with a few injuries lately, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is a former finalist at the French Open – his home Grand Slam. The former Top-10 player, seeded #12 at Roland Garros, is the country’s top-ranked tennis player and was down two sets to one to Renzo Olivo of Argentina when the pair’s match was halted for bad light. At the time, Olivo, the World No. 91, was leading 5-4 and one game away from ousting Tsonga from the tournament.

Olivo resumed the next day to finish what he had started, defeating Tsonga 7-5, 6-4, 6-7(8), 6-4.
