Tsonga calls tune as Nadal crashes out

JO-WILFRIED TSONGA has described his run to the Australian Open final as “ridiculous” after destroying second seed Rafael Nadal in the last four yesterday.

Nadal, the three-time defending French Open champion, was completely outclassed by the 22-year-old from Le Mans, who romped to a 6-2 6-3 6-2 win in under two hours.

He will now compete for the title on Sunday against either world number one Roger Federer or third seed Novak Djokovic.
