Tsonga-Berdych 2011 WTF semi-finals

tennis_pro · 11-25-2011, 01:37 PM

this is going to be a hard hitting match...

Docalex007 · 11-25-2011, 01:39 PM

This one is completely up in the air. So... picking a winner is more speculative than normal!

I'll say Tsonga in three.

I've got Tsonga in three. He's been so good this year I think he's ready for it.

NadalAgassi · 11-25-2011, 01:47 PM

Hard to say. Both players are up and down. One of them really needs to win the WTF to show they have a chance to win a Slam in 2012. I guess Berdych in 3.

I have Tsonga in 3. Expect a lot of UE's in this one.

Hard match to predict, but there will be some monster hitting. Berdych may be a touch more tired having played 3 3 set matches, Tsonga had 2 3 setters and one straight setter, but that probably won't make much difference, if Tsonga had won all in straights I'd say he'd be much fresher.

Anyway seems Federer, Berdych and Tsonga are the indoor form players, Ferrer has done well recently too.

Berdych in 3.

Tsonga in two, 6-2, 6-4

rufus_smith · 11-25-2011, 07:01 PM

Berdych is exhausted. Tsonga in two sets.

Sentinel · 11-25-2011, 07:13 PM

Tsonga in 3. Berdych should take a set.

OddJack · 11-25-2011, 07:26 PM

Surprised people are picking Tsong.

Berd is a clear Fav, in 3

joeri888 · 11-26-2011, 01:22 AM

In what way? Tsonga had the better year and has a better mental game on the big stages. I see Jo through 76 64

Berdych in 3. He'll win the 3rd set definitely if he wins.

purge · 11-26-2011, 08:09 AM

funny that this is only their 3rd encounter seeing as theyve both been in the top regions or the rankings for a while. youd think theyd have met more often.

even more so that they only started meeting this very season (and only really played one match so far as the other 1 was a W/O). they didnt meet at all up until 2011.
quite strange

Depends on who serves better....

flyinghippos101 · 11-26-2011, 08:25 AM

It's definitely going to be a grueling match. The real winner of this patch will probably be old man Fed

tennis_pro · 11-26-2011, 09:39 AM

If Tsonga wins this, I would go with Tsonga. If Berdych wins 2 sets, however, I actually see Berdych winning.

All in all I'm sure Berdych or Tsonga will reach the final.
