Tsonga celebrates his unexpected victory in the spins and spins triumphantly around the Centre Court. The French, who made the final of Australian Open 2008, said the win was his best ever.
For me, it’s more special because I won the semi-finals Roger Federer is a great of this court, Tsonga said. For me, it’s simply out of this world. For me, it’s certainly one of the best memories of my career.
Tsonga moved to a Friday semifinal against second-seeded Novak Djokovic, who survived a serious warning of 18 qualifier Bernard Tomic. Djokovic has played from behind in the third set before coming to win, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5.

Tsonga has survived three deuces in the final game in the third set, holding his service and took the set. It is with a massive forehand winner Tsonga got the break in service only in the fourth set.
