I am still stunned. This is an amazing display of tennis.

If we thought Rafa was strong and turned tennis into a physical game, what level has Tsonga taken the game to :eek:

Rafa;s groundstrokes were like a ball machine on 'Easy' setting. Fed won't make him look this good.


agree, if anyone can hit the ball flat and with consistency, rafa is done.The problem is, not many on tour can do that with consistency.Tsonga did this year,Gonzo did last year, Blake, Youzhny ,Berdych did it on their day and so on.Federer will win in straight sets unfortunately.
 
Wow what a performance by Tsonga.

Nadal was nowhere near as bad as the scoreline may suggest, Tsonga was that good, it rare you see such a good player destroyed the way Nadal was tonight in any sport.

I hope Tsonga takes the same no fear attitude into the final, if he does he's a real chance

Nadal was not bad, he just couldnt handle consistent flat balls..look at his career, he always had a problem with people who can hit it flat with pace.
 
Completly destroyed Nadal and Nadal hadn't lost a set before tonight. I really hope he can bring this same level to the final, if he does Federer is the only one who can stop him, Djokovic doesn't stand a chance against that.

Sadly, I think he probly played his final tonight like Baghdatis and Gonsalez. Would love to be proved wrong tho!
 
If you ask me, his style out there against Nadal reminded me a lot of Thierry Henry in a way, just in the fact that they make it look so easy at times. He destroyed Nadal out there, i'd say he's a decent show against whoever he plays in the final, especially if he plays like he did in the 1st set.
 
Nalbandian 6-4 6-0 Youzhny 6-1 6-0 Tsonga 6-2 6-3 6-2

Rafa is getting the shit kicked out of him on hardcourts.

I wouldnt really count the Youzhny match, sure, he was unbeatable but certainly not worth 61 60, the moya slugfest took a lot out of him. But anyway, not many would have beaten Nalbandian last year, including Federer.Tsonga just demolished rafa today, i mean gonzo last year and tsonga today, was unbelievable
 
Let's not criticise Rafa too much. Tsonga would have embarrassed Fed tonight.

agree, theres not much rafa could have done today, i dont understand why people are criticizing him so much?? tsonga had like 60 winners in 3 sets, against a guy who gets everything back.That is unbelievable.
 
Nah I think this Tsonga is very genuine, I honestly believe he can win this tournament no matter who he plays. Though Federer at his best will be hard to stop (presuming he'll make the final). Cant wait until this finals its gonna be something and the womens doesn't look half bad either.
 
Well at least Murray got knocked out by the finalist :D

But seriously I had to leave to go to work when Ana was 2-0 down in the 2nd, thought game over.

Great comeback.

However, Maria Sharapova is just in extremely awesome form and will win in straight sets.

And then, when I get home I see Jo Wilfried serving for the match.

Absolutely amazing.

Federer will win though, you just know he will.
 
All your posts are about Djokovic is going to beat Federer or Federer is overrated, you don't know anything about Tennis nor Federer.

You're an idiot. Where have I ever said that Federer is over-rated?

Link to one post where I have said that, come on, do a search.

You have me confused with TotalPower, Rafa's love child.

But yes, I do believe that Djokovic will beat Federer. So what of it?
