Jo-Wilfried Tsonga beats marathon man John Isner in another Wimbledon epicJULIAN FINNEY/GETTY IMAGES Jo-Wilfried Tsonga celebrates victory over John Isner after their marathon match. A Frenchman being involved in a long - or rather very, very long - fifth set epic against John Isner at Wimbledon had a feeling of deja vu about it. A double fault on his first match point kept the heart racing but a point later he was swinging his arms around and jumping up and down in triumph. Resuming with Isner leading 7-6(3) 6-3 6-7(5), it took Tsonga just 25 minutes to draw level on Sunday and stretch the tussle into a highly-anticipated fifth set. However, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga made sure he did not end up on the losing side as his compatriot Nicolas Mahut did six years ago after he saved a match point to beat the American marathon man 6-7(3) 3-6 7-6(5) 6-2 19-17 on "People's Sunday".
