Michael Says:

Welcome back Tsonga !! We missed you a lot in your absence. I hope you come back with renewed energy and start the good habit of winning tournaments. So far, it is a disappointing career for you considering your latent talent and potential to achieve much more. Despite your brilliance in moments, your error prone game proves to be villian of the piece. You should learn the art of consistency. Ofcourse imbibing it would be difficult but not impossible.
