French Open Men's Singles Round 4 - Tsonga v Berdych

[chjtennis]

That Tsonga FH!

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Tsonga rock solid

 

[Sysyphus]

Absolutely tsexi stuff from the Tsongster.

I thought he was finnish after injury, but the beast looks to be back in business

Will now win Wimbledon, no doubt.

 

[chloep]

Very impressive stuff from Jo so far.
3-1 in the 2nd. Berd on serve.

 

[Sentinel]

after the cornet match this is boring

Good riddance Cornet, lol.

 

[Sentinel]

Double BP on TB's serve

 

[chloep]

Double BP for Jo.

 

[chjtennis]

Absolutely tsexi stuff from the Tsongster.

Yes, he looks to be back to his best at least for today.

 

[Kei_Nish]

Berdych go home you're drunk

 

[FudgeMyn]

all we need is nadal and djokovic to tire themselves in a 3 day 5 setter

 

[chloep]

and he breaks for the 2nd time....

 

[chjtennis]

What a point that was for the break! Tsonga on fire.

 

[Warmaster]

Well this is surprising.

 

[Sentinel]

Tsonga breaks.

[West Coast Ace]

So the Wizard of Oz didn't show up and give Berdy a heart? What a shock. He was beaten before he left the locker room.

 

[chjtennis]

Well this is surprising.

It surprises me as well. It seems as if Berdych is mesmerized and hasn't even warmed up yet. Too easy for Jo.

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

this match looks like Gulbis-Berdych of last year

 

[chloep]

Yes, he looks to be back to his best at least for today.

He has been looking impressive this whole tournament. Had to face guys who had a great affinity for clay, yet didn't drop a set. His movement, FH and return game were on fire. They still are.

 

[Kei_Nish]

Birdman looks like a lost puppy haha

 

[chloep]

a lovely love game from Jo to go 5-1...

 

[Kei_Nish]

Nish got broken? 5-4 serving for the set now wow

 

[chjtennis]

Great. I hope Tsonga continues on with this form. He'll be a dark horse.

Birdman looks like a lost puppy haha

Exactly. Games and sets are slipping away without him even realizing, it seems.

 

[chloep]

Berdych's face says it all... He looks completely resigned. like "Let's get this over with.."

 

[Sysyphus]

Has Tsonga ever lost from two tsets up? I doubt it.

Berd has done the comeback two times in his career, but today will probably be tough (if he indeed goes down this set).

 

[Kei_Nish]

It's actually kinda hard to watch him like this

 

[FudgeMyn]

Is berd having back issues see 3 KT tape on him. Maybe hes hurt

Yes he has. He lost to Wawrinka at FO 2011 despite being 2 sets to love up and a break up in the 3rd.

 

[PeteD]

 

[Sentinel]

Tsonga up 2 sets to love.

 

[chjtennis]

Hmmm.... If he is injured, that explains this blow out. Tsonga is playing well but Berdych is underwhelming at the same time.

 

[junior74]

Extremely disapointing from Berdych. He's a shadow of himself out there, while Tsonga is a treath to everyone when he plays like this!

 

[FedererDropShot]

In-form Tsonga is bloody amazing.

Completely overpowers you.

Unexpected really. Berdych isn't exactly a mug on clay.

 

[FedererDropShot]

Imagine if Tsonga pulls off another AO08 run or one step further!

 

[DarlesChickens]

Oooohhh la laaaaa!

 

[Freddy Cat]

Amazing shot from Tsonga.

 

[sdont]

Surprised to see Jo up 2-0. Allez Jo!

And that 1HBH passing shot! Yum yum

 

[Raging Buddha]

That one handed pass :shock:

 

[Sentinel]

Nice one-hander from Joey.

 

[maxrenn]

Wow Tsonga is on fire that was amazing

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

hahah that 1HBH passing shot i am pretty sure even Federer was missing it

 

[heninfan99]

if he's doing one-handers again that's a sign this shid is over

 

[chjtennis]

Berdych looks more focused in this set. If, however, Tsonga wraps it up in 3, this match may possibly be as short as Svitolina v Cornet match.

 

[chjtennis]

There's nothing Tsonga can't do today! What a drop shot.

 

[Freddy Cat]

Wow, Tsonga's won 9/9 net points so far.

 

[chloep]

Berdych holds so far.

 

[chjtennis]

Great FH by Tomas. On serve in the 3rd.

 

[sbengte]

Tsonga read the 'Berdych is Swedish' thread and wants to make a statement that Berd actually belongs to Sweden's neighboring country.

 

[chloep]

avg FH speed 123km/h of Jo.... monster.

 

[RF-18]

Is Tsonga back, for realz?

 

[chjtennis]

Wow. Great power from Tsonga. Pleasure to watch.
