AFP, Marseille :
Red-hot Jo-Wilfried Tsonga beat Australia’s Nick Kyrgios 7-6 (7/5), 2-6, 6-4 on Saturday to make the final of the Marseille ATP tournament and will meet French compatriot Lucas Pouille.
Victory Sunday in the final would mean a career first for Tsonga of back-to-back ATP triumphs and marks a real return to form for the 2016 US Open quarter-finalist.
Last week Tsonga won the Rotterdam title, where he came from a set down to beat the Belgian David Goffin.
“I’m on top form right now so let’s see,” Tsonga said. “I did what I had to do, it was great tennis.”
