Tsonga crunched aces and slammed winners, taking the match to the world number three and keeping him on his heels.

But Djokovic is a determined character and kept gunning away.

His reward came in the seventh game of the second set. Djokovic earned a break point when he belted a backhand return past the Frenchman and dictated the next point before Tsonga sent a forehand wide.

The world number three pummelled his chest with his fist and marched to his seat.

There was a spring in his step which had been missing at the start and Tsonga's head dropped.

Djokovic squared the match with an ace and secured a break early in the third set as his experience began to tell. He steered the ball around court with purpose while Tsonga relied on flashy winners for the bulk of his points.

A second break with Tsonga serving at 5-3 down clinched the third for Djokovic but not before the Frenchman had fought off six set points.
