Jo-Wilfried Tsonga returns to the Top 10 for the first time since March 1, 2009
after his surprising straight-sets win in the final of the ATP Canadian Masters over
Roger Federer. Tsonga
had an amazing run in Toronto, beating four consecutive Top 10 players in World #1
Novak Djokovic,
Andy Murray,
Grigor Dimitrov and Federer. He became the first player outside of the Top 10 to win a Masters series event since
Ivan Ljubicic did it in Indian Wells in 2010. No other player had beaten four Top 10 players and won a Masters series shield since
Guillermo Canas did it in 2002.
The ATP Masters tournament in Cincinnati has started but
Victoria Azarenka has withdrawn, and
Venus Williams lost a tough 3-setter against Wimbledon semifinalist
Lucie Safarova just days after beating her sister Serena to reach the final of the Rogers Cup.
