Tsonga [9] vs Monaco

[veroniquem]

Ha ha yes sorry. I probably overestimated Monaco. Tsonga played a very solid match.

 

[veroniquem]

No you got it wrong. Both players should be equally rested, not equally tired. Also this will spill over to the 4th round, since they will again be scheduled to play late on Friday with probable continuation on Saturday, and so on and so on. Someone must have planned this well in advance. It is not an accident that Federer yet again got the best possible slot and court. While Djokovic is shafted once more.

Also what they did to Nadal yesterday is also not respectable for the #1 seed and 4 times defending champion.

Nadal doesn't mind playing on Lenglen and he was not the last match. The last match was Venus who of course had to finish her match the next day. Basically whoever is scheduled last knows they're gonna be cheated. It's totally unfair. Novak is really unlucky, his draw is tough and now the scheduling. I don't know why they pack the schedule on the main courts like this. I remember in the not so distant past, the last match was always a double, it was much better.

Murray is on Lenglen last tomorrow. Want my bet, Fed will be on there the day after.

No I think Novak will be there the day after. We shall see.

Lately, the Nadal + Djokovic "fans" have been in agreement way too often with respect to difficult draws, unfair scheduling, being tired, and choking. I think they are united by their Federer love.

lol. 10 char.

I was backing Tsonga all the way. I love his swagger and attitude on the court... He brings a great sense of aggression different than the sublime ways of Federer. Much more exciting to watch than the moonball play of Nadal.

I wonder what the Fed fans have been united by recently? The irrepressible impulse to pester anyone not bent on praising their idol unconditionally? Whatever it is, it's been annoying.

 

[veroniquem]

Come'on Veroniquem, I thought you had abit more faith in your French players. :twisted:

Ah I'm going to now, I'm curious to see how far he will go. Monfils has done great. Ouanna was amazing. Gicquel and Chardy are alive and kicking. I expect Mathieu to follow their lead and beat his next opponent to a pulp :twisted:
I'm all for French players, go guys go

Talking about unification, every since Fed beat Nadal at Madrid, chump fans from Nadal and Djoker sides suddenly in harmony, constantly bashing Fed at every opportunity. Like I said, what would happen if somehow Fed pulls a miracle and wins the FO. Will these chumps breed so that their children will take on Fed's?

I am so pissed. Monaco played great but Tsonga served better and hit many aces. Too bad he had to face an inspired Tsonga infront of a partisan parisian crowd. Anyways all good things come to an end, I just hope he doesn't give up.

Give it up to Jo-Wil, though, he was playing like a beast at times (S&V'ing on clay, monster groundstrokes).

Too bad this wasn't a QF match or something. Monaco deserves to have gone further, but he was outplayed, for the most part, today.

 

[IvanAndreevich]

The way Tsonga was playing totally raised my expectations of a good grass court / hc run later this year I think he's due for another Masters on hard. Maybe Toronto.

 

[abmk]

pretty good match.. tsonga just outplayed monaco with his all-court skills

Yes agreed completely. They sank to lowest level ever. And that is quite an accomplishment.

They are basically in a panic more. They realize the era of Federer domination is forever gone and he will sink lower and lower over time and they still can't handle that thought, so they have to vent here in the most obnoxious ways.

It wouldn't change anything if Fed won RG given the fact that the Fed worshippers already behave as if he had! (Dixit Drak "we have a new king of clay" )

OMG, how have you folks dragged Federer into this thread as well :-(

Yeah, Monaco is a solid player, but nothing great in him IMO, nothing outstanding. Tsonga played some awful games and some great ones. Often, he just stood behind the baseline making easy slowish returns hoping Monaco would make an error.
Its sad Monaco (and Chucho) got out so early, altho as a fan of Fed and Tsonga, i cant complain!

 

[Sentinel]

Tsonga and Roger must have made a record number of dropshots in one day at a Slam !!!

 

[PERL]

Tsonga did not even try at the end of the second set after blowing his chances. What’s interesting is that he can elevate his game when it counts, that makes him a special player
