Tsonga will be a serious dark horse heading into the Indian Wells Masters

The Frenchman produced a few decent performances in last year’s ATP World Tour and ended the year ranked No. 12. This year, Tsonga has been in terrific form so far. He began this year by reaching the quarter-finals of the Qatar ExxonMobil Open and followed it with his first Australian Open quarter-final in four years.

After the Australian Open, Tsonga reached the semi-finals of the Open Sud de France following which he won the Rotterdam Open and the Open 13 within a week. As a result, Tsonga rose to No. 7 and will be looking to continue his good form at the Indian Wells Masters. We all know how dangerous Tsonga can be once he gets going and looking at his form lately, he is an overwhelming dark horse prior to the tournament.

The Frenchman has been handed a decent draw and his only obstacle until the quarter-finals is David Goffin whom he might play in the fourth round. Tsonga’s road will get bumpy once he reaches the quarters as he may be up against top seed and favourite Andy Murray. Nevertheless, Tsonga is somebody to watch out for at the Indian Wells Masters and we would love to see him in full form at the competition.
