Tsonga Takes Tokyo

In a completely lopsided, dull final, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga knocked off Mikhail Youzhny 6-3, 6-3 to win the Rakuten Japan Open Tennis Championships in Tokyo.

Tsonga is peaking when he needs to be, looking to be in good shape to defend the bevy of points he earned this time last year by winning Paris and making the Year End Championships.  If he can keep it up through Shanghai and Paris, he should be able to repeat the feat and make the WTF in London come November.

If the trophy for winning Metz was the alien baby, I'm pretty sure the Tokyo trophy is the ship the alien used to get to Earth.
