“We weren’t good enough”
“We just didn’t win a Grand Slam because we weren’t good enough“, affirmed Tsonga. “We were good enough to go far, but not good enough to win. That’s a sincere and honest answer, and then we can speculate on what we should have changed or what needed to be improved, but that’s the way things are happened.” My son then completed. “The big four were better than us. They made us feel weak. For example, against Nadal in Monte Carlo, I played the best match of my life on clay and he beat me 6-0 in the third set. It’s the best. I gave everything and he destroyed me physically. It’s incredible. Sampras was the greatest legend of our sport having won 14 Grand Slam tournaments, and Nadal won 14 at Roland Garros alone.“Indisputable. This takes nothing away from the great career of the two French people.
