Tsonga runs out of gas to lose to Dolgopolov.

Alexandr Dolgopolov avenged his five-set loss to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at Wimbledon last year with a 3-6 6-3 3-6 6-1 6-1 win. The latter opened the match with a regulation first set but cracks began to appear mid-way through the second with Tsonga spraying a series of balls off line and Dolgopolov was ready to take advantage. “I could see he’s pretty tired,” he said. “His physical form is not probably the best now… I had to hold on and play consistent, try to make him more tired. On the baseline he’s really solid; today it paid off that I played more consistently and made less unforced errors.” Tsonga said: “He was better than me, that’s it. He played a better match and was more consistent than me.”
