As of today Tsonga has beaten Nadal (AO 08) Federer (W 11) and Djokovic (AO 10) in grand slam tournaments. Quite impressive. Who else has managed it? I can't think of anyone off the top of my head. Soderling and Del Potro both have the Fedal scalp but not Djokovic. Safin has Djokovic and Federer but not Nadal...
Who else has beaten Federer, Nadal and Djokovic in slams?

What's more, he can actually beat all three in the same slam if he takes out Djoker in the semis and gets Nadal in the final.

agreed, and in ascending order. This would be impressive. Who knows if Tsonga can do it, but I'm rooting for him.

I believe roddick beat them all in one tourney a couple years ago. I feel like it was a on a hard court at one of the US Open lead up tournies.

I think Del Potro is the only one who defeat both Fedal in the same slam. Not even Nole achieve the feat.
Wow, you must have a short memory. Del Potro beat all 3 in a row (quarters, semis, and final) just 2 years ago at the US Open. In the SAME tournament.
For Tsonga to beat each of them just once over a 3 year span isn't all that impressive. But what Del Potro did in 2009 was incredible.

Roddick beat Djokovic and Nadal in Dubai in '08, but I can't think of a tournament--especially in the summer hard court swing--where he beat all three.

Everyone knows. And, no he can't do it. Loss to Djoker in straights coming up.

Nalbandian did it. Almost twice in two weeks. He beat djoko rafa and roger and then he beat rafa and roger. Madrid and paris 2007

i think most people are missing the major point of the OP: who did it in SLAMS.
Who care if you can beat the current top 3 in a row (impossible with the seeding but you get my drift) in a non-slam tournament.
Non-slam tennis counts for nothing.
