"To come from two sets down, that's crazy," says over-the-moon jo-wilfried Jo-Wilfried Tsonga became the first man to beat Roger Federer from two sets behind at a grand slam and admitted: "I just can't believe it." <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2011/jun/fedlose1.jpg" border="5" /> Switzerland's Roger Federer during yesterday's Wimbledon quarter-final against France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in London. Tsonga won 3-6, 6-7 (3/7), 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. The 26-year-old Frenchman produced some of the best tennis of his career to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals with a 3-6, 6-7 (3/7), 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 success on Centre Court. Federer had looked poised for a routine victory, the sort he has made his trademark at Wimbledon, when he claimed the two-set advantage. But his opponent gave an exhibition which combined heavy hitting and finesse over the next three sets to set up a last-four showdown with Novak Djokovic. "It was amazing today. I played unbelievable," Tsonga said. "To come from two sets down, that's crazy. He is the biggest champion in my sport. He's achieved lots of things and he's the best player in the world. I'm just so happy to win against him." Asked what he felt went wrong and what went right, Federer replied: "Except the score, many, many things went right. I thought I played a good match myself. I'm actually pretty pleased with my performance today. At least it took a special performance to beat me, which is somewhat nice. I think he played an amazing match. He didn't give me many chances."
