Despite helping France to a first-ever Hopman Cup title alongside Alize Cornet, with the tie decided by the mixed doubles rubber, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will still not be adding the event to his grand slam to-do list anytime soon.

 

The ATP No. 10 and teammate Cornet earned the French victory 2-1 over Poland (Agnieszka Radwanska and Grzegorz Panfil), giving the French a title at the mixed teams event on Perth on a third try going back a decade. Excited as he was to have been on the winning side, Tsonga will still have to limit his mixed exposure for the sake of his form in the more important singles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“In men’s singles; it’s very difficult and when you expect to play a semis and final in the Grand Slam, it’s tough to play mixed doubles or even doubles for me – it’s impossible. I enjoy a lot doubles, I used to play doubles sometimes in the Davis Cup and of course this week I got to play with Alize, so maybe at the end of my career when I will be finished in singles we’ll do something.”

 

Tsonga will take a few days off prior to arriving in Melbourne to face Roger Federer on Wednesday night at a charity event at the Rod Laver arena. “I’m in holiday for a few days, then I will play with Roger. It’s going to be a lot of fun. But I’m really happy to win today, it’s always good to hold the trophy and tonight we did it and it was great.”
