Tsonga was unmotivated but Stepanek was actually very good

 

[theKSHE]

Huge tanking.

 

[Chris Kuerten]

Simply too sexy, even Tsonga's one hander couldn't save him.

 

[rubbERR]

Tsonga was tanking, anyone with brain could notice it.

 

[romismak]

Stepanek played really good and with this kind of game can do well at Wimbledon but Tsonga definetely let him win, no motivation, no fire in his eyes, but allrigth it is just 250 and Wimbledon is here in few days so this tanking was expected

 

[timafi]

obvious tank and wtf did you play doubles yesterday fool?

 

[Sophocles]

Tsonga does the smart thing for once.

 

[nadejda]

nice tank, Jo

Radek played great

 

[Dougie]

Tsonga couldn´t have cared less, but Stepanek actually played really well.

It always amazes me when people say tank when it was plainly obvious before that he was likely to do that anyway.

 

[Chris Kuerten]

Don't really understand why he signed up for this tournament in the first place.

 

[misty1]

tipsarevic is now the only seeded player left in the tournament and if he loses to kukushkin then none of the 8 seeded players will have even made the qf

 

[simplet]

Didn't even seem like such an intentional tank job to me. Tsonga just realized he didn't have the energy anyway

 

[hotdog]

Why shouldn't he have signed up for the tournament? He wasn't to know he was going to get to the Queen's final and then have to play in Eastbourne the following day.

 

[henke007]

Wise Tank from Jo, why the heck was he even playing...

 

[Chris Kuerten]

Why shouldn't he have signed up for the tournament? He wasn't to know he was going to get to the Queen's final and then have to play in Eastbourne the following day.

QF/SF is pretty standard for Tsonga on grass. And he's the only top grass player who plays two warm-up tournaments for Wimbledon.

 

[Sonja1989]

Good to know Tsonga has brain. Would have been the worst idea play two full weeks before Wimby.

Congrats Stepanek.

 

[Sauletekis]

It's ironic, cause last match Tsonga won, it was thanks to a tank as well...

 

[philosophicalarf]

Steps has big chance at the title now, and he definitely needs the points.
