Jo-Wilfried Tsonga Pictures 2010

The energetic 22-year-old, who knocked out another puncher in world number two Rafael Nadal with a dazzling display on to reach the Australian Open final, is an extrovert and a showman, just like Noah.Both Tsonga and Noah's fathers were born in Africa, in Congo and Cameroon respectively. The two are exceptional athletes and crowd pleasers with a taste for serve-and-volley.Noah, now a chart-topping singer and still one of France's most popular personalities, was the last Frenchman to win a grand slam at the 1983 French Open.Tsonga is now hoping he could be the next.Before outclassing Nadal, he had sounded warnings by flooring two top 10 players in Britain's Andy Murray and Frenchman Richard Gasquet, an exceptionally gifted player and France's greatest hope until this week.Jo-Wilfried TsongaJo-Wilfried TsongaJo-Wilfried TsongaJo-Wilfried TsongaJo-Wilfried Tsonga
