Tsonga beats Goffin to win Rotterdam title

Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga claimed his first title since 2015 as he recovered to beat David Goffin 4-6 6-4 6-1 in the final of the World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam.

Sixth seed Tsonga, 31, fell behind but after levelling the match he swept through the decider against the Belgian.

The 26-year-old Goffin, without a title since 2014, suffered disappointment for the second week running after losing in the final at the Sofia Open to Grigor Dimitrov.

Tsonga once again served well, banging down 10 aces as his power game eventually overwhelmed third-seeded Goffin whose consolation is that his past fortnight will see him back in the world top ten come Monday.
