Tsonga said: "I was complaining because all the match I have to challenge, and I was right, many, many times. "He never takes the initiative when it's against Rafa. So I have to be really focused on the ball. If it's really close, he would never say out against Rafa. If Rafa don't like him anymore, he'd not be in the chair many times in the final and semi-final."
