We prove that if a diffeomorphism f of a closed surface is homotopic to and has the same topological entropy as a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism g, then f is semi-conjugate to g. As part of the proof, a necessary and sufficient condition is given for a pseudo-orbit of a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism g to be shadowed by an actual orbit of g.
