Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is a French professional tennis player. A member of the Tennis Club de Paris, Tsonga's career-high ATP singles ranking is world No. 5, which he achieved in February 2012.

Is Tsonga black?

Tsonga was born to a Congolese father Didier Tsonga and a French mother Evelyne Tsonga. ... However, I have a black father, a white mom, I am black and white. And I was one of the only children of an immigrant father in my elementary school. I let you imagine the rest,” Tsonga wrote in an interview with Franceinfo.

What happened to Tsonga?

The Frenchman underwent left knee surgery in 2018, which kept him out for more than seven months, and last year back issues limited him to just two matches. In the first round of this year's Open 13 Provence, Tsonga battled through a tough three-set victory against fellow veteran Feliciano Lopez.
