Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has progressed to the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters quarter finals after beating world number three, Roger Federer.
The world number eight defeated the 34-year old Swiss 6-3 2-6 5-7 on Friday afternoon to complete a dramatic come back in Monaco.
Tsonga will face either countryman Gael Monfils or Spanish lucky loser Marcel Granollers on Saturday for a place in his first tour-level clay-court final.
"I think [the match] definitely had some twists and turns. I’m not sure how come. Maybe we were both a bit up and down. We had a couple of games here and there that we kind of gave each other on the serve."
"Third [set] was close all the way through. The game I got broken is a tough game to get broken on because I think I had three forehands that I’m in good position, and I end up losing all three points. It’s a tough break to get."
"It was a good tournament, a good match, exactly what I was hoping for and more, so I’m very happy."
