Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has been suffering a lingering lower back injury since the beginning of 2020. He picked up an injury during his Australian Open first-round match. He missed the whole year due to his injury.

This year too, the Frenchman has not been in the best of the forms. He has had a string of poor performances, as he is not enjoying any success on court. The little injuries have also been a factor of inconvenience in Tsonga’s game, as he suffered a right arm injury in Dubai earlier this year.

Fans are hoping that Tsonga will make a comeback on court. However, many pundits and fans have suggested that the player retires now as he is not in the same form as before.
