Come on Berdych, stop whining.

Tsonga wins after an excellent match

sdont · 02-24-2013, 06:38 AM

Woohoo. Great match. Well done Jo.

Congrats to Jo, great match. Berdych was playing very well (could have been a routine 2 set win for him) but after Tsonga gutted out that 2nd set he kinda deflated.

Wish I'd been able to see it. Allez, Tsonga!

did he complain at the end of the match? didn't see the handshake with the umpire.

berdych visibly shaken sitting down for presentation ceremony.. he even has a fresh haircut.. how sad!

lol

Was a great match. The backhand down the line in the tail end of the 2nd set, was what turned the match around for Tsonga. From that moment on, he played at a different level than Berd.

what a tiny runners up trophy.. at least give the guy a big plate or something to hold on to!

Relinquis · 02-24-2013, 06:46 AM

He did say something to the umpire when shaking hands. Had Tsonga waiting for 2 seconds or something. Weird how the crowd didn't pick that up, usually the're on a player booing him for like a minute when he's whining or complaining about a call.

great win for tsonga... saving MP vs tomic (QF) and vs berdych (F) !

who was the last player to win a tournament after saving MP in multiple matches ?

i have the following ones since 2002:

2005: Moodie saved 4 MP's in SF (against Nieminen) & 2 MP's in F (against Ancic) in Tokyo
2004: Davydenko saved 1 MP in SF (against Youzhny) & 3 MP's in F (against Rusedski) in Moscow
2002: Hewitt saved 4 MP's in 2R (against Srichaphan) & 2 MP's in F (against Agassi) in San Jose

anything more recent ?

EDIT
querrey (LA 2010) was the last one, cf. this thread:

Looking at the draws for Memphis and Marseille, it's ridiculous when you find out which is the 500 event.

Classic berdych!

Really good win for Tsonga.

Should give him some confidence winning tough matches like he has this week.

veroniquem · 02-24-2013, 10:34 AM

And Tsonga goes in the double digits: 10 titles (vs 8 for Berd). Berd should be mad. He really let that one slip away from him.
