Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (French pronunciation: [ʒo wilfʁid tsɔŋɡa];^[2] born 17 April 1985) is a French former professional tennis player. He was ranked as high as world No. 5 by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), which he achieved in February 2012. Tsonga won 18 singles titles on the ATP Tour, including two Masters 1000 titles.

In his early career, Tsonga won the 2003 US Open junior singles title and was the ATP Newcomer of the Year for 2007. He rose to fame by reaching the 2008 Australian Open final as an unseeded player, defeating four seeded players (including world No. 2 Rafael Nadal) en route. He followed by winning his first Masters title at the 2008 Paris Masters, and reached the final of the 2011 ATP Finals. At the 2012 Summer Olympics, Tsonga won the silver medal in men's doubles partnering Michaël Llodra. He claimed his second Masters title at the 2014 Canadian Open, defeating four top-ten players en route. Tsonga also reached the final of the 2011 Paris Masters and the 2015 Shanghai Masters. In doubles, he won the 2009 Shanghai Masters doubles title partnering Julien Benneteau. In 2017, Tsonga helped France to its first Davis Cup win in 16 years, after being runner-up in 2014. He retired from the sport at the 2022 French Open. Tsonga has reached the quarterfinal stage of all four majors. His best performances at the majors since 2008 were semifinal appearances at the 2010 Australian Open, the 2013 and 2015 French Open and at Wimbledon in 2011 and 2012. Tsonga is one of only three players (the others being Tomáš Berdych and Stan Wawrinka) to have major wins against each of the Big Four. He is a member of the Tennis Club de Paris.
