Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has spoken out and said that he believes he can dominate world No.3 Novak Djokovic, if they meet at the inaugural Brisbane International tennis tournament next week.
Since beating Tsonga at the Australian Open, Djokovic has been beaten 3 times by the 23 year old. Tsonga is the second seed behind Djokovic in Brisbane and he believes that if his serve is working, he can win the match.
Regarding his serve, Tsonga said, “It is enough. Because you can usually break (your opponent) with a little bit of luck, and then you serve and you serve and you serve."
Reaching the final at the Australian Open was not enough for the Frenchman.
"For me, it was very difficult to lose the final to Novak," he said. "So it’s given me a lot of motivation for the rest of the year and now I hope I will win against him the next time. I’m confident (of winning the Australian Open) because I’ve had a very good preparation.
"It’s a new opportunity to play another final or win a tournament."
Do you think he can do it?
