2008 Australian Open Tennis Championships

30-40 break point for Tsonga. He is playing the best net coverage I have seen in years. No lie. He is crazy at the net.
 
Wow, Tsonga is taking it to him. He breaks at 30.

Tsonga, up a break, serving for the 2nd set at 5-3.

I've never seen Nadal completely dismantled like this before. It's not even vaguely close right now, the difference in play between these two. Tsonga playing like this could beat Federer.
 
i'm gonna go out on a limb and say the way Tsonga has played these first two sets, he would be up 2-0 on anyone in the world right now. ANYONE. he is playing absolute tits right now.
 
i still think he's gonna tire from hittin the ball so ******* hard.... guess we'll see in the next 20 minutes or so. i'm pulling for Tsonga btw. nice to see a man with lots of injuries playing at such a high level right now.
 
No excuses, Tsonga is outplaying Rafa. He is controlling every point. He is dictating play. That set was only a one break set. Make no mistake, though. Tsonga is winning this match on his stick. He is taking it, not relying on his opponent to make mistakes. Wow.

Now we'll see what Tsonga is reall made of. He is one set away from playing in his first major final. This is where you show what you are made of.
 
blazer, I agree with you. So far Tsonga is playing as best as any player can play, including Federer.
 
Rafa with a GREAT passer. Pumps his fist! 15-40 double break point ...
 
damnit! another ace! Then Rafa wide. Tsonga holds a 3 deuce game.

Rafa serving at 1-1.
 
Rafa wide. Tsonga breaks. Alright, now it is time to get a little scared here. Rafa needs to break back, and needs to do it quick. Boy I did not see this coming.

Tsonga, up a break, serving at 2-1.
 
wow, i don't think i've ever seen nadal outplayed this bad before. and honestly, the score looks a lot nicer than how the matchplay has looked.


this is nuts

and tsonga just broke in the third set...
 
This is just unreal. I've never seen anyone just dominate Rafa for 3 straight sets and he doesn't even have 1 break. I sure hope Tsonga brings this to the final if he closes this out and doesn't get the yips.
 
For the record, neither Federer or Djokovic has ever played against Tsonga as professionals. If he comes out with this confidence in the final, he has a REAL shot to win this tournament! A REAL shot.

Tsonga holds at love.

Rafa, down a break, serving at 1-3.
 
Rafa broken at 15. Amazing.

Tsonga, up two freakin' breaks, serving for the freakin' Australian Open Finals at 5-2.
 
hahahahhahaha

tsonga's coach has three polos, one on top of each other...with all three collars popped
