Tsonga is the second seed at Monpellier.

Published Feb 09, 2017

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Marin Cilic were in for a treat ahead of the ATP 250 event in Montpellier. The top two seeds were invited by tournament director Sebastien Grosjean to present gold medals to Montpellier handball players, goalkeeper Vincent Gerard and winger Michael Guigou. The handball stars just helped France win the World Championships last month.

Spectators got to witness all four elite athletes in action, including this solid performance from Tsonga.

Back on the tennis court, Tsonga would win his opening match against Pierre-Hugues Herbert, while the top-seeded Cilic was not so fortune, falling to Dustin Brown on Wednesday.
