Tsonga What a Gun

[Geddy Lee]

I have always been a big fan of Rafa's and was dissapointed he went out in straight sets but Tsonga is something else. I saw him demolish Nalbandian last Sunday and then seeing his performance against Rafa - this kid will be going places.

Ferrero demolished Nalbandian.

Tsonga demolished everyone else.

Must have meant Gasquet or Youzhny.

Anyway, considering I picked him since he knocked off Andy Murray, I'll be throwing $20 on him to win this thing (of course it'll mean he'll lose)

$10 Says he does it in straights!

lets hope so. number 9 for tsonga if he wins!

I had the same thing on the saturday morning except 10 and 5.

Paying $9 for Tsonga in straight sets is a good bet, because if he is going to win it its not likely to be in a five set marathon

Tsonga is cursed now like Bagh and Gonzo before him.

Ancic is a very good player.

Exactly, one good performance dosent make the player.

And even when they do perform well (Baghdatis has made a number of 4th round appearances and qtrs before and after the 06 Open), they will always be compared to what they did here in Oz

Tsonga must of been tired against Ancic!
But dont underestimate Ancic. He is tall and unbelievable.
He is one talented player!

He has actually excelled by his hard court standards in this event. Nadal doesn't win hard court titles at this level. He doesn't final or semi final either with any consistency. He is not a great player away from clay but is rather a fine and good talent which has a tendency to crash and burn under pressure in decider sets. How many final sets has he tamely lost since last clay season?. I think these points are now established fact.

Fed V Djoko was always the likely decider. It still is. They are the top 2 players in the world on Hards.

oh dear i dont think you should post here anymore ,facts hey gaelictiogar???

 

[patto_man]

yep i agree love Tsonga i wanted him to win aus open but has been injured for ages

Its weird that he had like 1 super month when everyone expected him to be the next big thing but then after he just disappears again, alot of people probably have forgot about him, hes probably even dropped down below the top 50.

Pretty sure he's injured again. Is still ranked a respectable 19.

I love the way he plays - he's a shotmaker and doesn't know the meaning of pressure. Doesn't have the talent of the top 5, or the game, but he is always going to have his fair share of fans because he plays a very entertaining style and seems like a genuinly nice bloke.
