TSONGA v WAWRINKA BETTING PREVIEW

In the quarter-finals, Tsonga beat Kei Nishikori in five sets (6-1 6-4 4-6 3-6 6-3) in a contest that lasted three and three quarter hours. He just turned the dreaded age of 30, so the tires could be balding for him. Tsonga converted 61% of his first serves against Nishikori, winning 83% (60/72) of his first serve points. He has dropped three sets in this tournament so far.

Wawrinka took down his countryman Roger Federer in straight sets (6-4, 6-3, 7-6) in the quarterfinals, securing his first ever Grand Slam victory against his countryman. The Swiss arrived in Paris having won 22 of 30 matches and two titles in the current season and he had performed solidly on clay, going as far as the semi-finals in Rome where he lost to Federer. To grab an edge against Tsonga, it’s crucial for Wawrinka to improve on his first serve percentage. In his match against Federer, he put into play just 54% of his first serves. Anyway, the Swiss has dropped just one set all tournament

Tsonga and Wawrinka have played each other six times, and the series is tied at three apiece. At the French Open, the series is 1-1 with both matches going to distance. Wawrinka has won their last two matchups, including their recent meeting in Davis Cup last year back in 2014.
