Re: Tennis Discussion Thread
Tsonga looks so poor when a game is getting away from him. Doesn't help that he looks like he gives up on points really easily at times too when he's trailing. Had a shot at the 1st set with Djokovic playing average but let it go in the tie break. 2nd set he was awful. I think Novak won the last 16 points on his serve.
Tomorrow, Fed in 2 and Del Po in 3.

Re: Tennis Discussion Thread
Djokovic didn't need to do anything special.
Fed should open up with an easy win tomorrow

Re: Tennis Discussion Thread
I agree with nazzac, there is no need to be angry if you are winning and are in control of the match just because you made a silly mistake. If you are losing I can understand but if you are winning the match I don't think there is a need to moan even if you made a silly mistake. I don't think Djokovic moans when he is winning.
Tommorow, Federer to win in 2 and Ferrer to win 3.

Re: Tennis Discussion Thread
Tsonga has been crap since his RG loss to Nole. It's like that match took his soul. Tsonga had chances in the first set, and was on top until 5-5, where Nole started to take over.
Today's matches are hopefully better than yesterday's. Del Potro vs Ferrer should be a good match.
I'm going for Federer in 2. He should be too good for Tipsarevic.
And Del Po in 3. Ferrer is usually a bad match-up for him, but i see Del Po winning this time.

Re: Tennis Discussion Thread
Eh? he wasn't bad in the Wimbledon, he reached the semis(the furthest he got in a slam this year). I know Nadal was eliminated in the 2nd round which gave him an advantage but still..

He still didn't play too well. He played okay, but nothing more. He got a lucky draw until the semi finals.
Look who he played...
R1: Hewitt (Past his best)
R2: Garcia Lopez
R3: Lacko
R4: Fish
QF: Kohlschreiber
SF: Murray
Up unil the semi finals, he wasn't presented with a real big challenge. He should win all his opponents up until the Semi Finals, even when not playing well. And he did.

Re: Tennis Discussion Thread
Yeah but you said he was crap since his loss to Djokovic in the Roland Garros which was a bit of an exaggeration. He did fine in the Wimbledon, he did what was expected from him tbh. He didn't play badly against Murray either, he at least won a set against him.

Re: Tennis Discussion Thread
That was sublime from Federer. He outplayed Tipsaveric, he was too good for him. Hope to see him play like this for the rest of the tournament.

Yeah, a bit of an over-exaggeration on my part. I meant that he hasn't played that well since RG. Against Murray, he played awful in the first 2 sets (spraying unforced errors), but in the 3rd set he found his form and took that set. Fell back down in the 4th set, and Murray finished him off.
Federer winning was NID. Didn't get to watch the match, but from the comments i have read on the web, Federer completly outclassed Tipsy.
Del Potro vs Ferrer is up later on. It's either that or the Champions League tonight.
