On the day he withdrew from Madrid and Rome Masters, it means Wednesday, Tsonga spoke about his physical condition to Le Parisien.

'I am still recovering', he said. 'I have obliged recovery time. I can't cut them. Today, I can't say when I will be back. I am practicing, finding a little bit of movement and confidence in my knee. Then, you never know what can happen after an injury.' Tsonga is part of the Lyon Open's organization, he started a company.

Does he think about a change in his life? 'These are mostly projects with people that I appreciate. I am not thinking too much about my transition. I have not a deadline or oblige when I have to stop. When a good project interests me, I am happy to take part to.

My first activity is as a tennis player. The rest is in my free time.' Lyon is the next tournament in Wawrinka's plans, but his coach Thierry Ascione said that if he doesn't play Lion, he won't make it to Roland Garros either.
