Roger's Cup SF - Dimitrov v. Tsonga

[Moxie]

Who do you like?

 

[El Dude]

This could go either way. Tsonga is obviously hot, but Grigor might sneak up on him. I voted for Grigor in 3.

 

[Moxie]

Agreed, but I'm going Jo-Willie in 3. I really like this steady and strong Tsonga. I hope he can keep it up. Dimitrov will get his chances, but JW's are waning.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Based on what I have seen in this tournament, Tsonga definitely has the edge.

Even though Grigor kept winning, he certainly did not look sharp in any of his matches
(almost like Fed, no wonder they call him baby Fed). In particular, today's victory was
basically a gift.

I don't particularly care as to which of these two wins, based on my likings for them.

However, based on my vested interests, I would want Grigor to win as he appears
to be a less dangerous foe in the final.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

I like Dimi in 2
but Jo-willy will do

 

[I.Haychew]

Agreed, but I'm going Jo-Willie in 3. I really like this steady and strong Tsonga. I hope he can keep it up. Dimitrov will get his chances, by JW's are waning.

Dimitrov beat Anderson. I'm bitter, so I'm going phor the steady and strong "Tstronga".

 

[nehmeth]

:wow:

"Steady" Tsonga? I don't know that I've ever seen that adjective used to describe Jo. Still based upon this week's performances - Jo in 2.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Tsonga impressed this week with a couple of things, one, his positive play, two, his positive attitude and keeping it together when under pressure. Not things associated with the Willy.

Grigor, on the underhand, as much as I like him, did not impress at all. In fact, it is a miracle he made it here and he should take Anderson out for a nice steak dinner . Those missed forehands, I don't know how Anderson will get over the loss against Grigor.

I hope Grigor steps it up, plays better and takes this, but I think Willie will win this in straights.

 

[TsarMatt]

Tsonga has been really impressive so far. Those wins over Djokovic and Murray should give him a lot of confidence. I can see him winning in 3 here.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Tsonga in two, for me.

Having not beaten a top 10 opponent all year he's beaten Djokovic and Murray back to back this week. It doesn't get much more "Tsonga" than that.

An unpredictable tie though. Wouldn't be surprised by any outcome. The new Dimitrov has started to get a handle on most of his opponents but an in form Jo is a fairly unique proposition and I'll be interested to see how Grigor will fare in the face of the raw physicality.

 

[Riotbeard]

I picked Dimi in 3. I hope the winner of this match wins the tournament.

 

[sid]

With wins over Djokovic and Murray i'm going with Tsonga to win.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

erm..I dunno.

 

[herios]

My last horse in this race, so Bring it on Dimi!

 

[kskate2]

I think Dimi going down today. He used his get out jail card yesterday. Don't think he will get another one today. It will be close though. Jo in 3.

 

[nehmeth]

Nice tennis from both guys. Jo's the first one to get the break. 5-4

 

[nehmeth]

3rd chance to break back for Greg... Jo puts a third serve on the line, no chance to return it.

 

[Moxie]

Grigor is gassed, and Jo looks really committed to this win.

 

[Kieran]

How is Grigor gassed and he's a decade younger than Federer? I thought stamina wasn't an issue in best of 3... :huh:

 

[nehmeth]

Jo is into the final!!
