Jo-Wilfried Tsonga entered in the Australian Open tournament unseeded and ranked #38, but the Frenchman’s loss to Novak Djokovic in 27 January 2008 final means he is now #18 ATP ranking. Tsonga said he feels “pretty good” after reaching the final of any tournament for the first time. “Not everybody can beat the players I beat,” he said after knocking off four men in the top 14, including second-ranked Rafael Nadal. “Of course I’m confident now.” – Tsonga said. The top six men remain unchanged, with #1 Roger Federer, who lost in the semifinals to #3 Novac Djokovic, retaining his top-ranking and Nadal at #2. Nikolay Davydeno stays at #4, David Ferrer at #5 and Andy Roddick at #6 ATP ranking. Mikhail Youzhny, who lost in the quarterfinals to Tsonga, jumps from #14 to 8 while James Blake, who lost to Federer in the quarters, moves up from #15 to #9 ATP ranking Andy Murray, knocked out in the first round by Tsonga, drops from #9 to #12, while Fernando Gonzalez, who lost in last year’s final to Federer, falls from #7 to #24 after losing in the third round.
