ATP - Indian Wells - "Spirit of win

After a month's break, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (Photo L'Equipe) has found happiness with short, Saturday in the second round of Indian Wells, beating the Israeli Dudi Sela (6-2, 6-4). The Manceau, who had missed his post-recovery Melbourne in Marseille, says coming up with "a spirit of winning." "I want to eat cake," says the finalist of the Australian Open, which will be opposed to the next round with his compatriot Paul-Henri Mathieu. "Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, what are your feelings after this return winner? Already, I won! That is a good thing. I am happy with me today. I entered the field with a good spirit. The same as in my last competition. A spirit of a winner. With the conditions, you had to be good to win. Dudi (Sela) is capable of everything. So it was not perfect, but given the circumstances, that's fine. Although I feel very strong, I really did not know where I was. What did you do for four weeks? In fact, I led a lot. I did a little preparation similar to that preceding the Australian Open. I have a lot of juice and a lot of envy. I want to eat cake. It feels good to come back. I need the competition. That adrenaline that is good. When you have a ball and you break the wins, it is liberating. Can you tell us about your next match against Paul-Henri Mathieu? This is a big hitter. It lifte and never changes of pace. It's going to be a real duel. Dire though its style is difficult for me. It depends on the day ... You have never met on the ATP circuit. But have you played against him elsewhere or have you brought with him? Not ever! I think we have perhaps trained two or three times together. That's all. But it will be a healthy competition. It is No. 2 french, and I No. 3. We are not far to the ATP rankings (Matt is the 14th, 17th Tsonga), and there is the Davis Cup approaching when there are things to prove. This is the kind of game I love. We are going to break your teeth. What is the goal on this tour? The goal is to try to reach the Top 10 and play the next round of Davis Cup (April 11-13 in the United States). This will be a fantastic meeting hall, with 15,000 people. "
