I saw a poll comparing Berdych and Gasquet in terms of talent and potential, but think it would have been more appropriate if we compared Berdych with Tsonga, not Gasquet. Then, I would've chosen the third option- Tsonga having more potential/talent, but Berdych being more successful in today's tennis.
According to many tennis fans including myself, Tsonga was supposed to have a really good year in 2012, reaching a final at AO (and possibly win, as some of you predicted), reach top4 after replacing Andy Murray. But look what happened to him!
I still think he has "potential" to be top4, or reaching a final at AO, but it seems very unlikely bc of his poor game plan, and consistency.
On a good day, he could be ranked Top5 in serve, forehand, backhand, and even volley. But the problem is, he is very incosistent. I don't think his mentality is as weak as Berdych's or Almagro's, but he just can't play well for a complete week.
I hope he becomes more consistent in his shots this year, and that will bring him to top 5, and possibly a SF spot at any slams he enters because I still think and believe he has great potential.
I noticed many of you predicted Delpo will have a strong year this year, giving threat to top 3 guys, but IMO, Tsonga has even more potential than Delpo, especially in today's very slow courts where Delpo can't run for 4-5 hours.
