Monfils beated Tsonga for the first time on his career to reach the final. Not sure if he is the favourite to win tomorrow as I think Ljubo is much clever than him but Gael has been playing really well since that DC clash against Argentina. I would say it`s going to be a 50/50 of possibilities for each player tomorrow.
Because he's cocky for someone who's achieved next to nothing in the world of tennis. Most French players don't have many fans as they have negative qualities not positive qualitites. Outside of the French people, they aren't well liked.
Oh really? Well Simon and Gasquet definitely have strong fan bases. I'm well aware what people believe the negativities of Simon's game are, i say game specifically because he is genuinely nice guy off court. Always puzzled me that Tsonga doesn't have that many fans either.
Simon is liked off court because he's got one of those infectious personalitites. Lots of people dislike Gasquet because he's unprofessional and didn't deliver and win slams.
The more I see of your posts, the less impressed I become. You're saying that Monfils and Tsonga are the popular players on tour who are well liked by the majority of neutral fans. I think not.
good match, Tsonga is still recovering from injury as he would have won this otheriwse.
As for Tsonga being popular, he is for sure. His matches are always full of people and very loud (this def applies at the AO), he is one of the most dynamic and athletic players around. His energy and charisma is something that is sorely lacking with generic players like Monaco around. Tsonga is a enigma who connects with the crowds and cretes an atmosphere. His effortless power and french flair are amazing.
Gael returned well, served more aces than Tsonga, hit some convincing passes and kept focused in the 3rd set. A deserved win which I am very happy about.
Well, at least now you're only speaking for yourself, not the general public, not that it makes it more than a teeny bit less clownish
