Former world No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has revealed he once pushed through a serious injury to cash in on a $1 million (£750k) exhibition match, despite barely being able to lift a glass.
Tsonga announced in a video shared on social media that he's retiring after the upcoming French Open that is set to get underway on May 22.
Tsonga has been out of action since a back injury forced him off the court during an Australian Open first-round matchup versus Alexei Popyrin.
