My god, the Tsonga fearhand is such a cleaner shot than Sock's flyswatter forehand.

 

[acintya]

jacks name should be - I suck

 

[tennisjedi]

Can't believe Jack Sock's forehand has more spin than Nadal.
ESPN showed a graph with Sock having the most topspin on average, followed by Thiem and then Nadal last.

yes.bombastic ****

 

[acintya]

[stringertom]

I think tsonga rolls his tsocks while Jack folds.

Look at it tho, in slo-mo or something. Makes Rafa's look like a conservative old-fashioned motion.

It's a lethal shot, by I still wonder what the heck he's doing some times.

 

[acintya]

tsonga or delpo for da gs win

I hope Sock doesn't injure his wrist.
His forehand is effective, but it looks painful.

What a shot from Sock!

 

[Sysyphus]

LOL, Sock!

You da man. That shot was the tennis-equivalent of a really impressive burger flip.

Epic!

 

[Sysyphus]

HAHA

Second tserve ACE on BP. Man, the bawls! (and stupidity if he'd missed of course)

 

[Vrad]

HAHA

Second tserve ACE on BP. Man, the bawls!

That was nuts.

Of course, he follows with another ace, and then a double fault...

 

[speedysteve]

Joined this one late. Close TB.

Is that a tennis elbow strap Sock is wearing, or just a high up Nike sweatband?

 

[crocon]

Sweet return

 

[speedysteve]

Weyhay we have a match!

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

nice tie-break !
good fight from sock...

 

[skip1969]

come on, jw. reeeaaaallly?

 

[Sysyphus]

Oh well, fair play to Sock for fighting so well.

Well, the planned result was Tstronga in 4 anyways. Only worrying thing is Sock looks more fresh and up for it of the two ATM...

 

[InspectorRacquet]

Sock dictating the tiebreaker with his forehand punishing the Tsonga backhand. Too bad it sounds like his return game has been suffering all match, so most likely won't win a fourth set.

 

[rainingaces]

Sock back in the game but he has the shot selection of a junior in this match.

 

[JoelSandwich]

What a challenge then drop shot and ace by Sock.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

This is turning into a real tussle now, and Tsonga's touch and finesse isn't quite what it was at the start match, but still has the some good power play.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Tsonga really picked it up here, easy service games. Almost there.

 

[Raindogs]

Another great open for US tennis and the NextGen wunderkinds - a few fun days at the Open, a few great selfies idiotgrammed and chill times had.

 

[Gytha]

Tstronga to serve for the match. Allez my boy.

 

[Gytha]

3 MPs. DFs the first away

 

[Gytha]

GO JO WILLY!

 

[skip1969]

thank you, tsonga.

 

[DimitrovTheGoat]

Just great. The thug beats the real American hero. Smh. I'm furious.

 

[JoelSandwich]

Fantastic forehand by Sock on the last point.

 

[chloep]

Just great. The thug beats the real American hero. Smh. I'm furious.

How the freaking heck could Tsonga (the guy known for probably being the most likeable and decent guy on tour) be considered a thug? Other than the colour of his skin, of course....

 

[Jokervich]

I think most serious analysts of the internet-tennis-intelligentsia-and-aficionado community are of the opinion that he definitively would've. Suspecting you to be in that group.

You missed the t in front of it, how could you??!!
