TORONTO (AP) – Jo-Wilfried Tsonga won the Rogers Cup on Sunday, beating second-seeded Roger Federer 7-5, 7-6 (3) for his fourth straight victory over a higher-seeded opponent.
The 13th-seeded Frenchman won his first ATP Tour title of the season and 11th overall. He beat top-ranked Novak Djokovic on Thursday, eighth-seeded Andy Murray on Friday and seventh-seeded Grigor Dimitrov on Saturday.
Tsonga improved to 5-11 against Federer.
Federer dropped to 2-5 in finals this season, with his victories coming in Dubai and Halle.
The Swiss star made several uncharacteristic errors and had a hard time with Tsonga’s powerful serve and ground strokes.
