Roland-Garros: Tsonga- "Crossing the course of the first week would already be good"

Confidence reigns among French players a few days before the start of the Paris Grand Slam.What can we expect for Jo-Wilfried Tsonga for this 2017 edition of Roland-Garros, which begins

Sunday? Frankly, hard to say, and the interested person does not see much clearer than us. After a series of performances and injuries, the Frenchman tries to regain some confidence this week on the brand new 250 tournament of Lyon, of which he is the ambassador."The first goal is to win games to find the path to victory and confidence. It is important to have victories, to be reassured, "he told AFP before his victory over Russian Khachanov in the quarterfinals on Thursday. In any case, his pain in the shoulder that had contrived to declare him forfeited in Madrid and then to give up playing in Rome seems to have faded. "It was important to reassure me Wednesday [against the Argentine Carlos Berlocq in 8th]. It's good to win, "he said.As for the goals for Roland ... well there really is not. "I'm not one of the favorites, but the ones who are dangerous. I go there being extremely happy to be on the court, to play tennis. The goal is to take my foot and when I'm like that, I'm able to beat the very best, "Jo said. You have to go step by step and cross the course of the first week would already be good. In a second step, try to get the big ones. " if we already have two French in the eighth finals this year we can be happy.
