London 2012: Jo-Wilfried Tsonga beats Milos Raonic to advance to round 3
Wednesday, August 1, 2012
Raonic said he was on the “wrong side” of Olympic history, but was generally pleased with his progress on the big stages of tennis.
“I’ve been sort of knocking on the door,” he said. “Hopefully, next time around, I can just kick it down.”
The contest between Tsonga and Raonic also had the most number of games — 66 — in a best-of-three-set match at the Olympics. The previous record was 63 from that 1988 women’s doubles match.
Tennis was not played at the Olympics between 1924 and 1988.
