Tsonga has now beaten all top 4 in slams

[Telepatic]

Well done Jo, he has now beaten all top 4 in slams:

AO 2008 [R128] : def. Andy Murray (GBR) 7-5, 6-4, 0-6, 7-6(5)

AO 2008 [SF]: def. Rafael Nadal (ESP) 6-2, 6-3, 6-2

AO 2010 [QF] : def. Novak Djokovic (SRB) 7-6( 8 ), 6-7(5), 1-6, 6-3, 6-1

W 2011 [QF]: def. Roger Federer (SUI) 3-6, 6-7 (3), 6-4, 6-4, 6-4

Interestingly, he's got negative H2H (0-5) against Soderling winning only 1 set in those 5 meetings.

Impressive stuff from Jo Willy, has all the important scalps it seems. Great game and great character.

 

[Tony48]

lol Nadal the only straight set (which was a demolition)

 

[ViscaB]

He needs a slam to crown his career. He's 26 already.

I want to see him play Del Potro at the US Open

Thanks for the stats, Telepatic.

JMac was talking this morning about how many GS appearances Roger had v. Jo. If he hadn't had injury problems, who knows where he'd be now.

It's odd how Jo doesn't have so impressive wins and overall results on fast HC slam like USO though grass really suits his style of game.

I'm sure that would be amazing. I saw Jo Wil play Fernando Gonzalez here before Feña's quarters with Rafa. It was ridiculously entertaining.

In a time of tennis gods,
Jokers and Scots,
serve and volley cried out for help.


She was Tsonga, a mighty princess forget in the heat of Le Mans!

The aces,the volleys, the ridiculous victory dances...
Her courage will change the top 10.

yep he has hard times to read the Sod missile serves :???:

 

[roysid]

Impressive:
Roddick has beaten 3 of top 4 but not Fed.
Fed and Nadal has beaten the remaining 3 of top 4.

I think you just qualified as King Tsonga's court jester.

It is a pity he's been injured so much and is 26 already. I remember watching him at the AO 2008 and thinking he was going to be a very dangerous player.

Djoker really needs to pick up his game from yesterday if he's gonna have a chance at Tsonga.

Just imagine if he beats the top 3 players on the way to the title.

Crazy awesome.

Was Murray top 4 at AO 2008? If not it doesn't count. Besides, half those guys he beat played average.
