French Open 2009 Round 1 Results: Jo-Wilfried Tsonga Fights Way Into Second Round After Dropping Julien Benneteau at Roland Garros

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, still searching for his first Grand Slam singles title, advanced to the second round at the French Open on Tuesday after 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory over fellow Frenchman Julien Benneteau.

Tsonga had to overcome 43 unforced errors in the match but managed to handle Benneteau’s service game, breaking serve on five of 11 opportunities. For Tsonga it was the second serve of Benneteau that opened the door for much of the match as he won 55 percent of those offerings.

Tsonga’s best finish at a Grand Slam came at the 2008 Australian Open where he finished runner-up to Novak Djokovic. He has not competed in the last three French Open tournaments and in his only appearance in 2005 he lost in the first round.
