“I had previously been asked not to play on Sunday, because I’ve been practicing and developing the strategy, in which time I was projected to play on Monday or Tuesday. This is all for the sake of maintaining my fitness. But that is not granted,” complained 25-old tennis player that year.

Tsonga admitted Sad that he gets treatment. “Look at Andy Murray, if one day he asked for rescheduling in Wimbleson, there would be no objections. For Roger Federer for example, he’ll be ‘treated’ the same in his country. I also expect the same thing is true for players United States at the U.S. Open. ”

“I judge that Lleyton Hewitt (Australia) might be playing in the middle of the day in Australia Terbka because she likes the sun and his opponent does not like the sun,” said the world’s top ten tennis player.

“I already knew what I wanted to accomplish in 2010. I’ve got a plan, won all the (title)!” exclaimed he told Reuters.

In the year 2009 alone, there are three different people who steal the trophy for the Grand Slam women’s singles. Serena won two, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Kim Clijsters of each one.
