The way he came out for the second set will cost him. Since then he's held serve without breaking a sweat. Bit of an odd time to take your eye of the ball. Would have thought he'd have gotten broken late in the set if at all.

Tsonga falls but still wins the point!
Lesson to be learn - When your opponent is on the floor don't hit it right at him!
Can't see Federer winning this. He isn't really threatening with his groundstrokes anymore. It's either Tsonga winning or losing a point now.

What the feck is up with Fed. He can't get a grip on it.
I genuinely don't think he can turn the momentum his way. He's playing shocking stuff.
Oh dear. That forehand error was a bad bad one.
This is how Federers played since about 2007, why its bothering some of you is weird. The only time he isn't "casual" nowadays is when he's arguing with an official, which is kinda rare.
I predict he'll get broken here.
5-3 Tsonga
Looks a bit lost, really.
5-3
Almost over

If Fed loses this, he'll never win another grand slam.
What a match. I love watching both of these players play.
You always get your money's worth with Tsonga, that's why I love watching him play. 
Fed staying strong in his serve. Tsonga looks like he is preserving energy for his serve.
If he plays like this he won't win one for sure. He's being absolutely dominated on his favorite surface.
Tsonga serving for the match!
5-4
So Tsonga was stung by a "wasp" after the second set? Highly suspicious.
"I don't think Tsonga will believe this, but then that's normal for someone whose name spelt backwards is 'agnost'." - Guardian Min by min. 
Grass might be his favoured....but he's always been his best on hards, though the DelPo/Tsonga blueprint works just as well on them but they have be hot.
It's time for the big show!
Important first 15!
I think this is potentially a very significant loss in Fed's career. Going to be 30 soon and if he's going to win a couple you'd think now would be the time to.
Federer is losing all the big points. This is over.

Fish has been broken just once in 65 games this tournament and Nadal breaks him in the first game
Bloody hell this is tame.
Wow! Nearly there

I think so too. He's getting older and the likes of Murray, Djokovic are getting better. I can see Murray winning a Grand Slam of 2.
Can't say he didn't deserve that. Fantastic stuff from Tsonga.
Tsonga wins
What a performance by Tsonga. Now don't go out tamely in the semis.
Thats it then
Sank to his knees as if he had won the whole tournament! Congrats
Federer is finished.
Ok Tsonga you better beat Djoko now! ( not if Murray is in the final though)
Murrays chances increase
amol, I must say my view has changed on what we discussed. He does seem to lack a bit of fight and bottle. Too Berbatov-ish
With his record against Fed, and considering he was 2-0 down, it's some achievment.
