Tsonga hopes for second time lucky at Wimbledon

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga marched through to his second Wimbledon semi-final and this time hopes to go one step further.

The Frenchman came through a tight battle with Germany’s Philipp Kohlschreiber, finding his best form in the fourth set to survive 7-6 (7/5) 4-6 7-6 (7/3) 6-2.

He lost to eventual champion Novak Djokovic at the last-four stage in 2011 and will tackle Andy Murray or David Ferrer on Friday.

“For me it’s going to be a second chance after last year,” Tsonga said. “I will try to pay my best tennis. I enjoyed this moment again and I will try to win of course.”
