tsonga will go into eaely retirement after the absolute belting he will recieve of either Federer or djokovic

Cant wait to bump this comment

Tsonga may or may not win, but he wont be thrashed

 

[Cousin Jed]

And Novak takes the first set

 

[MacMum]

Could well be a very interesting final

 

[chickens_law]

Cmon Fed..

 

[Arcadion]

Cmon Novak.. make the final interesting!

 

[EssendonBombersFC]

Novak takes the second set.

 

[Magpie Magic]

Novak has been good but to be fair Federer hasn't been playing his natural game. He's been a bit more tentative and defensive than usual. But perhaps he'll begin to unleash and be more offensive.

I hate when people say this garbage. The reason Federer is playing like this is because Djokovic wont let him because he is playing so well.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Down goes Federer

 

[pjcrows]

Game set match. Wow

 

[Arcadion]

You beauty!

 

[Isandula]

So who is it Djokovic or Tsonga? Will be one hell of a match with some serious serving power.

 

[Scruff83]

I am in shock. Cant believe the 1 and 2 seeds went out in straight sets.

Should be a cracker of a final!

It aint complete garbage. Federer did make a lot of unforced errors.

 

[DB10]

Unbelievable result.

 

[Stats Man]

I'll go with Djokovic.

 

[Escude]

Good odds on tsgona in the finals @ 4.00, i will have some of that

Djokovic played great tonight, but have u ever seen Federer hit it in to the net that many times? Seriously, he wasn't his usual self tonight. Showed glimpses but he was no where near the level we've come to expect.

when nadal pushed him to 5 sets at wimbledon, people said the same thing .Ever heard of pressure in tennis? he was forced to hit harder and deep because of Noles firepower. Djokovic served 8 odd double faults in the match, doesnt mean he served like shit...he was forced to go for more on the 2nd serve because fed was attacking it.

 

[Escude]

Here is a statistic.Both Nole and Federer had 32 unforced errors each.So there goes the theory that federer was making too many mistakes.

Well yeah, maybe the pressure got to him, but it doesn't usually. Look at the tipsarevic match, thats when he produced his best - under pressure. I dunno, he just didnt seem himself, was it Djokovics good work that produce that or did Feds just have an off night? Who knows.

 

[Scruff83]

And doesn't anyone else feel like we blew all the five setters last wknd? Was a crazy few days and its all been straight sets since. Hopefully theres one more 5 setter to come on Sunday!

This stat doesn't prove anything.


Great work nole. Fed was off his game especially on forehand. That's not to say Djokovic wouldn't have won otherwise.

Should be an awesome final. GO TSONGA.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Djokovic comes across as a bit of a smart arse (judging by Courier's post match interviews)... but I'll be supporting him in the final. Definitely a future #1.

i know that stat doesnt prove anything but people saying that federer lost cause he wasnt playing well is disgraceful .Everytime someone pushes federer people say the same thing.Why does federer has to be in career best form for people to acknowledge his opponents victory properly?
