Gasquet was a good junior....never really a great pro. Gets buried when he faces the top 3 mostly and even Murray has now beaten him twice on his "home" court.

Time for Djokovic to bring his A-game as the big players so often do in Grand Slams from the quarters on... otherwise, he'll have another difficult afternoon against Tsonga.
So much talent but a total and complete choker.
Rankings in women's tennis don't really matter. Idiots like Wozniacki made it to #1 primarily because Serena can't be bothered to turn up for too many tournaments all year around.
Women's tennis has been gash since last 4-5 years.
On clay I agree. On hardcourts he's almost up to Novak's level and I would favour him in a match with Federer and even Nadal at Flushing. The latter mainly because he's never at his best in the Autumn.
Well it was worse 4-5 years ago when the Williams sisters were reaching every grand slam final and playing each other.
Never been a fan of women's tennis Tbh.
I used to like watching women's tennis when we had justin , sharapova and obviously sisters.
Yeah the womens game has slipped in recent years. The Williams sisters are in steep decline and Henin and Clijsters basically gone. Sharapova seems to have made a bit of a comeback lately, but all in all, the likes of Stosuer, Azarenko, and Wojniacki etc are a bit too generic. They need a couple of new players to emerge and start a rivalry.
Djokovic absolutely destroying Tsonga.
Djokovic destroying Tsonga so far, 6-1, 2-0 after 26 minutes. What a difference compared to his last match.
Sign of a great player. Picking it up once the second week of a slam rolls around.
Having said that its a lot more even in the 2nd set.
Federer lost the first set to Del Potro. Always felt that was going tough match for him. Can see Del Po making the final here.
Tsonga with some set-points now, very balanced game now.
Got the feel like the crowd has helped a lot.

And he levels it.
Tsonga breaks back 2 all in the third
Fed two sets down but up a break in the 3rd
Tsonga wins the 3rd set. Cracking point.
Tsonga 2 sets to 1 up
Federer's pulled one back against Del Potro.
Cmon Jo Wilfred. Don't choke for once.
Tsonga bloody hell. He's been down breaks in 2nd and 3rd sets and he wins both. Tsonga has been incredible and the point on set point 
Novak and RF both need to win in 5 to face each now. Here's hoping they both get knocked out

Why are both quarters being played at the same time?? Surely they could've managed it a bit better
Ridiculous scheduling really. All 4 matches should be played at separate times.
Del Potro
Jesus, Del Porto has to be injured or something. Federer's just running through him now.
Think Del Potro's knee is giving him problems again.
The French crowd and commentators are awful - the commentators especially, no neutrality.
I hope Djokovic wins and fecking dances in their faces with a beret on his head.

Hard to feel sorry for Del Potro if he's having issues after the Oscar worthy acting he pulled against Berdych
Something's not right with Djokovic at the moment.
Djokovic will win. He's had several moments in the past year where he's looked dead and out of ideas and he somehow pulls off a win.
He needs to break him for once damn it.
He's had breaks in the 2nd and 3rd sets. It's consolidating them where he's struggled today.
Del Po is finished. 3-1 down in the 5th.
Shame a deadly serve will forever be Nole's weakness.
Really impressed with how Tsonga's dealt with the big points. Hope I haven't jinxed him.
That was some nerve wrecking tennis right now man
Dam you Tsonga, dam you. Had 2 match points and really could have won it on the first one. Djoko served well after. He's going to win this match
Great match
Another two match points gone...

You were saying...
