Deep Quote by Jo-Wilfried Tsonga

“When you have the ball above the net height on grass, it's easier to play, and when the ball comes at you more slowly, it's easier to play. But when a guy hits hard and deep, I think you have to have been out there playing to understand, but it's hard to really hit the ball.” quote by Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
