It's not easy trying to find kinds of boats which rhyme with cities in which ATP events are played. Off the top of my head too.

This was proper tennis, not constant grinding and waiting for errors like Djoker (and what we'll see soon from Murray).

Nice to see players trying to win a point for a change.

I got to hand it to you. Even though you were putting Tsonga down by pointing out those tournaments and placing them next to Tsonga's name, I admire
your grasp of handling the words, the way you did. It takes fingerspitzengefühl to come up with a fistful of associations that rhymes and that are cohesive.
For that I won't hold anything against you and instead of thumbing you down I will pat you on the back and high five you with the other hand now that we have touched upon this subject.

With my bare hands.

Federer/Tsonga for the best overall quality of the match.

Djokovic/Wawrinka for WTF-moments and television drama.

It was a great match. Don't know if it was better than Djokokiv-Wawrinka, but it was very entertaining to see two players who are similarly aggressive go at it in a match that littered up the stat sheet.

Wawrinka vs. Djokovic was better, much better.

Yes I agree, highest quality throughout the match was Tsonga-Fed, no question. The Djoker-Waw match was very good but had highs and lows.

What do you guys mean by quality? Fed's forehand errors, abysmal first serve percentages, number of double faults and wasted breakpoint opportunities?

It was a very close struggle between 2 shotmakers on a slow court. I did not notice any remarkable quality that people are bringing up here. If anything, Wawrinka vs. Djokovic, the "shotmaker vs. retriever" clash of contrasting styles was more exciting to watch.

Ok, I'll stop here, you guys catch my.......drift.
When I realised what you were doing I got that sinking feeling.

The WTF awards have to go to Almagro's performance against Ferrer I'm afraid. Seriously, did that really happen?

However, it was a brilliant match.

High hive, yes indeed.
The powers that BEE could not do much about his smaller tournaments, though, even though some of those cities are still BUZZworthy. I suppose that's just how the sweet nectar of alliteration works.
Without common letters, his examples might've lacked sting.
Well that WASp just enough. I hope it did not make anyone hornet.
