Default Who would you like to see breakthrough and win a slam: Berdych or Tsonga.

I personally want to see Tomas Berdych win a slam. I love his game. Such clean and powerful ballstriking.

Honestly? Neither. Don't particularly like either player and can't see either winning a slam.

Problem solved, I guess.

If I had to pick one I'd go with Tsonga.

Doesn't sound like you are enamored of either one as well! It is a rough pick! We need some younger fresh talent in the top ten pronto!

Neither really but Berdych if pushed. I like his game. Tsonga is a big French clown.

Tsonga. I just like him more for some reason, and he seems like he could actually do it too.

Tsonga, if we have no other choice. I'd rather have Monfils as a one slam wonderer , IF he ever elevates his game.

I'd like to say both but I think Tsonga would be a better ambassador for the sport because of his charisma and his do or die shot making decisions. More exciting overall.

I enjoy Berdych's game more, but Tsonga has a better personality. That said, I voted Berdych

Tsonga's on court persona is so likeable compared to Berdych. He creates a connection with the crowd in a positive way and he seems to be a nice person off the court. He is a much more exciting player to watch than Berdych so my vote goes to Tsonga.

I'd like to see them both face off in the Wimbledon final. That would be pretty cool.

Tsonga all the way. He was one my pick to finally win a slam this year, quite deceived he didn't pull it off. I do still hope/think he'll win one before the end of his career. I like his offensive style, he's a great indoor player too, and to top it off he's got charisma, he's very likable.

Tsonga looks great in some matches. Remember his incredible display at AO 2008 in the semifinals? Not even god mode Federer could dream of hitting those types of dropshots, volleys and stab volleys against Rafa!

Tsonga's got great personality and really connects with the crowd. They enjoy watching him play as much as he enjoys putting on a show. You can see Tsonga is very passionate about his tennis and every win to him is meaningful with the way he leaps in the air and cheers and claps.

It seems to me that Tsonga has the ability to do it, he just needs the mental prowess to succeed.

He has all the tools. He needs a good coach. Lately watching his matches it sometimes looks as though he is lost.

Tsonga at French Open. Great for the sport. His semi final choke against Djokovic this year was tough. He wants to win it for his country.

Footwork? Lateral movement? Consistent backhand? Good ROS?

All things that he lacks.
