French tennis ace, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, has become a father for the second time in his life. The player tweeted immediately after holding his second son in his hands, consequently letting the world know. Even though he has been out of action on court, he has been blessed in his personal life.

Tsonga’s last tournament was at the All England Club in June, when he made an early exit. He lost to Mikael Ymer of Sweden in the first-round at the Wimbledon Championships. He did not represent France at the Tokyo Olympic Games.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga becomes a father for the second time

Tsonga and his wife, Noura El Shwekh, got married in 2018. They gave birth to their first son, Sugar Tsonga, four years ago. Today, Noura has given birth to another Tsonga family member. The couple delivered the baby in Hopital De La Tour in Meyrin, Switzerland.

Tsonga, 36, has been having a poor season this year. The French star is experiencing the worst year of his career, a 1-8 win-loss record under his belt.

However, the birth of his child will give him some form of happiness and joy this year. The baby is still unnamed; however, there are no brownie points for guessing Sugar’s brother’s name.

Horrific injury forced Tsonga to stay out of action

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.
