11/02/2008 - Paris, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - French crowd favorite Jo-Wilfried Tsonga defeated Argentine star David Nalbandian in three sets on Sunday to win the Paris Masters title and clinch a spot in the Tennis Masters Cup.
Tsonga won 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 in a shade more than two hours for his second career title, both coming this year. The win ensured that the 23-year-old will be a part of the eight-man field at the Tennis Masters Cup in Shanghai later this month.
It was the first-ever meeting between 13th-seeded Tsonga and Nalbandian, the defending champion and eighth seed. Tsonga -- who also won in Thailand, where he avenged a loss to Novak Djokovic in this year's Australian Open final -- had 25 aces to only four by Nalbandian, and won 47-of-57 first service points.
Nalbandian, who knocked off red-hot Brit Andy Murray in the quarterfinals and downed Russian Nikolay Davydenko on Saturday, took the second set but was outplayed in the third set with a spot in Shanghai on the line. Nalbandian double faulted four times in the loss, to one by Tsonga, who had downed American James Blake in the semifinals.
In addition to a spot in the Masters Cup, Tsonga collected $450,000 for winning the Paris Masters. Nalbandian took home $231,000 for reaching the final.
