Fifth seed Tsonga crashes out of U.S. Open to Slovakian Klizan

Fifth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga crashed out of the U.S. Open in the second round Thursday, beaten 6-4 1-6 6-1 6-3 by Slovakia's Martin Klizan.

France's Tsonga put up a lackluster display to become the first major casualty of the final grand slam of the season.

Tsonga, who reached the quarterfinals at Flushing Meadows last year, was due to face Britain's Andy Murray at the same stage this year, his exit potentially easing the path of the Olympic champion.
