Now 2-1 sets and they call this damn trainers time out with the Serb whining but still grandstanding with the strut and WWF grunt......what have they done to this sport? If you win by wearing the opposition down so be it but get rid of these lame massage breaks....
700AM
The timeout changed everything as the Serb was on the ropes after having things under control. When tennis was actually a sport of stamina especially grand slam tennis this garbage was never tolerated. You got blisters too bad.....your tired..let me get you a crying towel!! The Serb became a player to be hated for years to come because of his lack of class on the court after points he would win....should be fun at the US Open this year as a few more players make things competitive. A couple new stars for the game were born in this tourney..

Well,the key to this match came down to 1 thing:TSONGA'S tired legs..By the middle of the 2nd set this guy was struggling with his 1st serve,because his legs were leaving him.Then came a lot of unforced errors.It was obvious to most that he wasn't moving as well as earlier in the match,or against Nadal.He had the crowd on his side,and the Serb didn't like that.I think he would have been able to grind out a win if he had some legs left.Like he showed in the 1st set,he is able to come up with great shots to win important points.They said he did a lot of work in the gym about 7 hours earlier.That may have cost him a grand slam.I don't know about anybody else,but I have most energy in my legs (consistently)about 3-7 hours after I have overeatin'.When I do that,I have almost no resistance from my body to the exertion of working out.All other times (when I work out,)I have some resistance from my body (to working out.)I've heard the theory on it.Something about glycogen(from all the calories) still being in the liver(available for easy energy.)That's just my body,though.My least amount of muscle energy would be like 7-12hours after working out. ... Sure,some of it is the Serb making him work harder for points,but I still think it was too early to get that tired.It was a little like the Baghdatis-Federer final 2 years ago,but TSONGA tried harder late in this match.I don't think TSONGA is a one n' done like Baghdatis has been(he could be a major contender if he would get fitter,and stop partying all night with the Greeks.)
