Just hope Tsonga's serve is on point.

not crazy at all.

this fricken kid is moving like his ass is on fire compared to last year.

h'es been playing great and riding a high.

the only concern is that he's fit but is he fit enuff to stay with nadal. nadal will make him run back and forth till his head is swiming and don't know up from down.

i think its worth a 40 shot. no doubt

Tsonga knocked out the 3 guys I backed - Murray, Gasquet and Youzhny.. cant believe how well he's playing...

Wow,Tsonga blew Nadal away ......Reminds me of Safin(at his very best,) but even better....Trust me,Nadal had no shot against what this guy had.

That is exactly who popped into my head while watching Tsonga play Youzhny the other morning. I thought he had a great shot to win this match...in four, probably five sets. I never thought he could dust Nadal, though - incredible, inconceivable, out-of-body performance. I think he was even a little surprised after match point by how he dominated. I can't wait to see him in the final. But before that, we still have Federer-Djokovic to look forward to.

Tsonga was unreal. Glad I woke up early to pee and turned it on. That was just an overwhelming show. How could Nadal look slow but he did, and the power from behind the base line was awesome. I;ve never seen the announcers so blown away. Had not seen him play before but if this is what he's got, the finals going to be special. Can he continue at this level? Sure got a confidence booster today!

And for us old enough to know, the young Ali look and manner is unmistakable.
