A French Open hip injury has healed faster than expected, leaving Jo-Wilfried Tsonga a definite possibility to be fit in time for Monday's start at Wimbledon.
Tsonga was unable to take to the court for his fourth-round Roland Garros contest due to a muscle lesion. But little more than a week after his setback, the 25-year-old's latest scene showed vast improvement in his condition.
His participation at the All England club will be a late decision, with doctors and the player making the call. "The MRI showed the lesion has completely healed. Jo will now return to rehab with his physiotherapist and we will meet in London to prepare for Wimbledon on Monday," said coach Eric Winogradsky.
Tsonga said he has taken on a sports psychologist to help him through. "He will be with me all the time, even when I'm not playing in tournaments. I also have another chiropractor looking at me. I really do my best, and I take all the necessary precautions.”
