What are you talking about. When your father is in the hospital you still have to go to work. I don't know what is the dad's situation, but if he is the hospital undergoing work up or treatment what can Nole do there? He might as well do his best in London, even if he is not 100% focused and then go back home.

He did say at Bercy that Rasheed is a long term appointment. I think the aim in mind should be to peak for Wimbledon, which is something he could win with his best tennis over 2 weeks, perhaps the only Slam he could win at the moment.

Yup, Rasheed has a lot of work to do. Jo hasn't played a single great match since his QF with Nole in Paris. If not for an injured and non-moving JMDP in Rome, he'd have 0 top 10 wins this year.

Lots of work to do if Jo is to become a threat again: BH and ROS need to improve big time, confidence needs to be higher and shot selection/tactics desperately need to improve. I hope to see some improvements by the time AO rolls around.

Not sure what's wrong with him though he looked completely out of sort at times

he's not talking about it, but the newspapers said a week or so ago that his dad was admitted to hospital. Nothing else said since then.

It hasn't happened for the last 4-5 years so it won't suddenly happen now that he is almost 28.....

Don't even bother.

He's just looking for the crease. He wants to stick the needle in to see where he can get the most reaction.

Nadal isn't playing so he's bored. Poor thing.

Although to be fair he was a bit unlucky in the first set, especially in the first break point where Nole was saved by a netcord. Think he'll go 0-3 here though, sadly.

As for Nole, he played within himself and won as expected, he will most definitely be in the semis and competing for his second WTF title.

Guess you missed the 2nd set where he won just 2 points on Nole's serve, if that's not blown off, I don't know what is. Give it a rest Lenders, Tsonga ain't never going to be as good as Nole.

Another wasted french talent in a now very very long list.....

I think this is true.

Unfortunately, Tsonga had his early playing years marred by lots of injuries (and at the very beginning he was overweight). That hurt his development years, imo. I think a young player undergoing serious injuries often plays a role in their development.

djokovic too solid for tsonga even when both are playing shit

poor tsonga has had an awful past 4 months

No shit And here I was thinking Tsonga was going to take over the #1 ranking from Nole in the coming months

Yep, nole is some non stop broke guy which will get fired if his boss doesn't see him behind the working desk

my only point was that people overreacting. if srdjan is really so bad, nole wouldn't play tennis at the moment, at least i wouldn't

Hold on a minute, didn't you once laugh at the idea of the Federer twins having mono?

Boring match really.

He's planning for an extremely expensive nose operation. Every penny is welcome.
