Tsonga said: "I would like them to go home and dream about becoming professional tennis players one day. They've got to be able to dream about it because that could be the start of great things for them."

At the end of the clinic, youngsters from the Jabavu and neighbouring areas broke out in song in appreciation and moments later Tsonga started dancing.
