RG QF: WWW Djoković (1) Vs. Tsonga (5)?

No thread?

If Nole loses to Tsonga I will change my favourite player to Tommy Haas.

djoker will destroy clay-clownga in 3.

Neither are playing particularly well... On paper I'd give Djokovic the edge, but with the crowd behind Tsonga anything could happen. :shrug:

Will be interesting to see how the crowd effects Djoker here. Tsonga will be a huge crowd favourite for this match. We know how rowdy Parisians can get when one of their own plays a top player, and they have never loved Djoker.

The 6 games in the 5th set last night were superb from Jo and he won it rather than Waw gifting it to him. If Jo can give the crowd something to cheer then they can get right behind him but it will be tough. But all the pressure is on Djokovic because a QF is a superb result for Jo here and a great confidence boost for the grasscourt season where he will be deadly.

You know what?
Fuck this shit. He can do it.
Tsonga in 4.

Allez.

Good crowd support and a sluggish Djoker could let Jo pull off the clay upset.

Djokovic in 3. Whatever...
Stan :(

You know what?
Fuck this shit. He can do it.
Tsonga in 4.

Fuck everything. He will do it in three sets.

If Tsonga of AO09 turns up, he wins.

Novak beat Tsonga quite easily in Rome and he should be able to do it again here. Novak in 4.

Will be interesting to see how the crowd effects Djoker here. Tsonga will be a huge crowd favourite for this match. We know how rowdy Parisians can get when one of their own plays a top player, and they have never loved Djoker.

You beat me to it!:yeah:

They will be more rabid than last year.

Tsonga is in QF what is big result for him i think, because clay is still by far his worst surface, even bellow average Djokovic won´t loose 3 sets to TSonga with home crowd on clay. I expect better Nole to show up, Djokovic in straight sets i think.

Nole in 4.

Gonna be tough as the french hate him more than Simon and that will probably affect him a bit. Still, I think he will pull out the win in 4 as long as he doesn't play as awful as his last match and I don't think that's possible.

Nole in easy str8s here

If he can draw some energy from the crowd, Jo could maybe take a set. But he's still a clay mug of sorts, he will not win this. He should head out to Queens quick. He actually has an outside shot of winning Wimbledon or the Olympics on grass.

If Tsonga of AO09 turns up, he wins.

/loses in 4 to Verdasco.

/loses in 4 to Verdasco 2.0.
Fixed

You Know What:
Tsonga In 4, He Will Meet Delpo In The Sf And Then Fight It Out In A 5-setter.
Djokovic Is The Favorite Though

Nole in 3.

Tsonga has no chance.

ah, some of you guys ... I, personally, don't really like these predictions threads, but Tsonga will be gone probably in 3. Djokovic is a much better clay player than Jo. crowd or no crowd, it doesn't really matter. Nole got used to it.

You beat me to it!:yeah:

They will be more rabid than last year.

I don't think the crowd has any effect on Djokovic's performance.

Not true. U'll see how they love him if it happens to play ag. Nadal.

Tsonga himself has admitted to clay being his worst surface. Nole sends him packing in three sets.

stronga to get the job done in 4 sets

STRONGAAAAA makes an appearance...and loses in 4.

If it were on grass I would definitely fancy Tsonga's chances. On clay Tsonga has nothing to hurt top 4.

Fixed

w/e, it's not important, he obviously meant AO 2008.

Who voted for TSonga in 3?:D

They met in Rome recently - Novak´s form is similar to Rome, he didn´t played nothing special there, made F, because nobody else than NAdal in his section was good enough to beat him, the same is here at RG, in his section TSonga - it will be just like Rome, 1 set close, 1 set probably with 2 breaks and 1 set with 1 break - something like 7-6,6-2,6-4, if Tsonga will win set i would say well done Jo. That´s it, Novak in 3 or 4, no other option here.

nole's metronome game is not on. tsonga is highly unpredictable. so, it's not clear as it should be on red clay, and I will go for a surprise, tsonga in 4.

If it were on grass I would definitely fancy Tsonga's chances. On clay Tsonga has nothing to hurt top 4.
did you actually watch Wimbledon last year? sorry, confused here. :D ... if I remember correctly, Djokovic pretty much killed Tsonga on grass ...

The 6 games in the 5th set last night were superb from Jo and he won it rather than Waw gifting it to him. If Jo can give the crowd something to cheer then they can get right behind him but it will be tough. But all the pressure is on Djokovic because a QF is a superb result for Jo here and a great confidence boost for the grasscourt season where he will be deadly.

Here's a collection of this idiots best posts.

Tsonga will reach the final of course. Spent Wawrinka, out of form Nole and spent Berdych/injured Delpo.

Tsongaa in that final set could challenge Nole as long as it isn't damp conditions.

That final set was the best I've seen Jo play on clay in a long time, maybe ever, and he showed a lot of mental strength in the 5th to get a break after memories of last year. He will be a monster on the grass/fast courts in the 2nd half of the year.

This Jo will win Wimbledon!

Embarrassing.

Novak will win comfortably in 3 sets. The fact Wawrinka was in tears after the match sums it up entirely. He gifted Tsonga the win.

Thankfully Tsonga winning gives Novak pretty much a bye as Tsonga has no chance of beating him.

Nole in 3

On clay? :lol: :zzz:

Give me this match up on Wimbledon again, think Jo can beat him there this time around.

Poor Stan having a fan like you. :lol: Obviously I'm being a little optimistic but If Seppi can scare Nole then so can Jo and Tsonga winning Wimbledon isn't that I possible if he gets a bit of luck.

Obviously I'm being extremely deluded but If Seppi can scare Nole then so can Jo and Tsonga winning Wimbledon isn't that I possible if he gets a bit of luck.

Fixed your post.

Interesting when I offered you that money wager the other day you ran away like a little girl.

Pathetic.

Tsonga to lose in 3 but maybe he can take a set. No way can Djokovic play as badly as he did against Seppi and he'd be used to the conditions.

I'm not sure if Clownovic > Clownga. Hopefully Clownovic won't show up this time.

Fixed your post.

yeh, REAL MEN gamble. He has his opinions, you have yours - get over yourself.

yeh, REAL MEN gamble.

I'm glad you agree.

If Nole plays like against Seppi, Tsonga actually has a shot here.

But I'll say Novak in 4.

muggy conditions, rain, humidity, partisan crowd, tsonga bad on clay...
nole in 4.

Poor Stan having a fan like you. :lol: Obviously I'm being a little optimistic but If Seppi can scare Nole then so can Jo and Tsonga winning Wimbledon isn't that I possible if he gets a bit of luck.

stop posting man you know shit about tennis.Tsonga winning Wimbledon?Are you on drugs?

Fuck this shit. He can do it.

You know what?Fuck this shit.NOTHING will save Jerk Fed from being destroyed by Nole,not even prayers from pathetic Fedtards.Nole will win.

This is something you should learn. To read.
Look, look into my signature.
Yeah, there. You see it?

What does it say next to Federer?
No, moron! Not Dr Ivo, the other side, to the left.

Exactly. "Tsonga".

I want Tsonga to win, not for Federer. I'm confident Federer can beat DJokovic is he plays his A-Level, for Tsonga. It's my fav player with Fed, at the same level.

So, you can't call me a "Pathetic Fedtard", cause i'm not. I'm more neutral than you, piece of shit.

If Djokovic buys better shoes :sport: Djokovic in 4:p
Good that he plays on centre court so that he can learn how to move better here. And also a good training with the crowd against him. The court and the crowd should be a good training for a semi-final against Fed. Tsonga is not a real clay court player. So Nole should be able to do it. But he still needs to play better than he did against Seppi.

nole doesn't have a problem at all when the crowd is cheering for their fellow compatriot.

I'm glad you agree.

Such staggering wit. Grow up.

I don't know why, but I can feel Tsonga doing it in 4.

Crucify me.

Tsonga is a clown on clay.

Screech in 3.

Tsonga is like the intruder among a great bunch of quarterfinalists.

But of course this QF is a big deal here in France :rolleyes:

Tsonga doesn't have the consistency to win three sets from Djokovic on this slow surface. Novak in 4!

Will be interesting to see how the crowd effects Djoker here. Tsonga will be a huge crowd favourite for this match. We know how rowdy Parisians can get when one of their own plays a top player, and they have never loved Djoker.

They don't love Murray either. We saw how the French were with Murray today against Gasgay and Murray after he dropshotted Simon. Nole knows what to expect.

I want to quit work so I can watch a tennis match finally like the other MTFers who have learned how to make a living off of endless live streams. There are some here who seem to be able to watch every match on the ATP tour, from 250s to slams and with qualifiers on top like a cherry. I don't know if I should envy you or pity you. Maybe you're all rich, in which case enjoy?

Or have jobs that allow us to watch while working?

I have a feeling Tsonga might actually win this, which probably means Djokovic will win in three easy sets.

Another reason why I chose the wrong career!

Witnessing humility on the forum is refreshing.:angel:

Everytime I've believed in/rooted for Tsonga winning, it never pans out. And on clay- even sub par Djokovic will win in 3.

what if tsonga plays a match of his life and nole is flat?

i think tsonga has to try to take 1 of the first 2 sets to start gathering some belief.

that is priority #1 for him. and then he can try take his chances if possible.

You'd expect even Nole 1.0 to get his shit together and beat clay genius Tsonga

tsonga will probably win even if this is on clay. Nole is sluggish and Tsonga has been striking the ball pretty well. Not to mention before Nole's peak season he has a pretty dire h2h vs Tsonga

If it were on grass I would definitely fancy Tsonga's chances. On clay Tsonga has nothing to hurt top 3.

Fixed it :D

Djoker in 5.

:p

Tsonga on QF: All the pressure is on Djokovic
Ticker - Monday, June 4, 2012

Jo Wilfried Tsonga, who has reached the quarterfinals of Roland Garros for the first time, says that the pressure will be on world No. 1 Novak Djokovic when they face off Wednesday.

"I think for him it's tougher, because he need to win," Tsonga said. "Me, for the moment, I did my best results for the moment, so for me, it's everything's gonna be positive now. Of course, I will be free on the court because I have nothing to lose against this player who is No. 1 in the world. And anyway, the pressure will be on him."

Respectfully,
masterclass

They don't love Murray either. We saw how the French were with Murray today against Gasgay and Murray after he dropshotted Simon. Nole knows what to expect.

Murray's problem was very different : it was a lot about the way he behaved against Nieminen.

But of course the French public will cheer heavily for Tsonga as he's the most popular player in France :shrug: (and Djokovic for some reason doesn't seem to have big popularity in the French public ... but doesn't have the reputation Murray has got this year -please note that I strobgly disapprove their behaviour).

And it's been shown several times (against Fed and already Tsonga in the past) that Djokovic doesn't like crowds cheering heavily for the opponent.

But Tsonga should give him the errors :shrug:

Djokovic knows how to manage it today after shocking match against Seppi. I do not expect a upset here.
Would say Djoker in 3, but with the crowd Tsonga can win one set - so Djoko 3-1 my prediction.

Nole in 4 is my pick, but all the pressure is on Nole here. Jo has reached his career best result at his home slam, so he can let loose and swing freely. Should be a good match. :)

Djokovic is my pick

If Nole loses to Tsonga I will change my favourite player to Tommy Haas.
If Jo wins this match I will change my favourite player to Troicki.

If Jo wins this match I will change my favourite player to Troicki.

I will cheer for Nadal for the next month

I will even express my love for him with a cute comment in every post ;)

it shall be tough.

Moron?Piece of shit?Really?Such words from respectable member of Fedtard community?But,when I think about it,it's not a surprise.Fedtards are the lowest of the low,lack of class they compensate with insults.So,keep it coming buddy,show your true colours.And you know what?It'll be all for nothing,you'll end up being miserable.Clownga will bite the dust first,than after him JERK Fed will be next.

I think Nole will come out very aggressive and sharp, no way he's going to play like he did against Seppi, that was one in a lifetime bad day. I believe he will go through in 4.

Nole in 3. The last match was his slip, it's clobbering time now.

As always it's going to depend on what Tsonga shows up, He can win the match if he plays at 100% and not just for a set ot two. That or he'll resort back to wild errors and his other clownish ways.

Will come down to Djokovic... Win or Lose.

Nole by far the better player. He'll have the crowd against him, so I hope he's ready. Personally I would have preferred a Wawa-Nole clash as I just do not see Tsonga as a clay court player.

Tsonga in Semis of RG would be acomplete (clay) joke. And I also really don't want another typical Federer-Nadal final so I hope Djoker takes this in 3 to save some enrgy for the semis. He can do it.

The poll seems spot on. Don't think Tsonga has a chance today playing Novak. Expect novak to play well today as that is what generally happens with top players coming off a match they barely scraped by in the prior round. Expect Novak to dominate this match and win it easy. Three straight sets most likely. Perhaps a fourth if Tsonga brings his best on.

tsonga hasnt got the game for the outcome of this match to depend solely on his level, imo.
