In meeting the second round second-seeded Frenchman lost a surprising 6-7 (5), 2:6 by 116-ranked Sam Kueri. Tsonga lost dramatically in the first set tiebreak and then failed to take advantage in the second half, despite the crowd. No. 8-ranked Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, like his compatriot Gilles Simon, should focus on getting his Masters in Paris, which involved eight most powerful players in the world. Gilles Simon eliminated in the first round of the strongest tournaments in Valencia. Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Roger Federer and David Ferrer have already secured their participation in the finals in the men's season, but vacancies are currently three.
