Stan Wawrinka, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in confrontation at set change
Stan Wawrinka and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga got into a heated confrontation in French during the break after the first set of their quarterfinal match at the Australian Open on Tuesday.
Wawrinka won the set 7-6 in a tiebreak and said something to Tsonga when the two were seated in their areas between sets. The exchange was in French and seemed to be along the lines of a “what are you looking at?” type of thing.
