Oh hope you have had relaxing time out at the ocean. No didn't see Tsonga match but I do think he can challenge Nole. To take three sets off Nole at a Grand Slam is a totally different matter though.
My song for this weekend...

it is blocked in my country so I cannot hear it emma.

I love the Spanish guitar in the song too.

Tsonga nearly pulled it off a couple of years ago. he had nole on the ropes but let him escape.
Tsonga can do it but he will have serve very big and also be effective at the net. and of course he will have to smart on returns (return of serve) and not reckless.
he cant sit back and try to engage nole in a baseline duel.
Thats a lovely song Emma and one of the most creative and original from Madonna with true meaning. Yes Clay I always feel Tsonga needs to really dictate with his firehand against Nole and volley at his best. Nole can also sometimes be sucked in to putting the ball back a bit short when we plays Tsonga and if so Tsonga must pounce. Yes been no interesting no Phillipe Chattrier play yet for Andy but I guess thats what happens when quite a few French players left.
Lol forehand not firehand but actually Tsonga will need it to be like a firehand :-).
anikh I think Tsonga is going to do it if he can just jeep his head together.
here is what he has to do to win:
1. serve very big and take care of that serve
2. return well and not recklessly. he gets carried away with his return game at times. this is clay. he needs to get that ball back deep and get it in play.
3. be effective and competent at the net
4. be aggressive but at the exactly the right moments
he cannot allow nole to get into his rhythm.
here is one for your desktop anikh:
Oh thank you Clay yes that looks great :-). Yes agree with your analysis on Tsonga. You certainly always need a clear gameplan to beat Nole these days. The Andy match is hard to analyse. Both players can play offense and defense so really comes down to who strikes it better on the day. Andy's record suggests he is more consistent in that aspect.
andy will do just fine tomorrow anikh. I have confidence in andy. rafa should do well tomorrow also.
rafa is not going to have any issues with mayer.
how about milos? what a tournament he is having. he is another one who can go far with just the right breaks.
he had to deal with a 5 setter today but he is young. he will recover.
he has to be one of the fastest rising stars on the tour along with nishikori.
here is one with a slightly different look:
Yes Rafa should be ok tomorrow. Milos has been a player for some time now ready to break out. He shows at times that he has all the weapons to pose a big threat to the top guys and of course will always have that serve. He will never be an Andy, Rafa or Nole in terms of movement but if he can get his movement to a quality standard he certainly has the all round weapons to be a future major winner.
