I came online to post just that... I think if Tsonga breaks here (5-4) break point and wins the set, Novak pansies out again like in Melbourne.


He crawls over the finish line. Where has his match fitness gone?

hmm, was it ever there?
He's been the highest ranked player I've ever seen to retire so often, and in BIG matches...
Even in Davis Cup, he was fine just handing the tie to Russia because he got tired too quick, or whatever it was that day slightly bothering him.

I award him a TS3 stamina rank of:



24.

tsonga vs djokovic

Postby Chederer » Wed, 01 Apr 2009 22:40

i have to say....tsonga's 2nd serve is by far the weakest out of the top players....i remember when he first came on the scene....patrick mcenroe said you have time to eat a sandwich and then maybe take a drink or two and still have time to attack his 2nd serve. For tsonga to win he needs to serve at 60% or better probably more like 70%

I would still say Murray's is weaker, he just defends the return coming back at him better.
