Wow,Tsonga blew Nadal away ......Reminds me of Safin(at his very best,) but even better....Trust me,Nadal had no shot against what this guy had.

That is exactly who popped into my head while watching Tsonga play Youzhny the other morning. I thought he had a great shot to win this match...in four, probably five sets. I never thought he could dust Nadal, though - incredible, inconceivable, out-of-body performance. I think he was even a little surprised after match point by how he dominated. I can't wait to see him in the final. But before that, we still have Federer-Djokovic to look forward to.

Tsonga was unreal. Glad I woke up early to pee and turned it on. That was just an overwhelming show. How could Nadal look slow but he did, and the power from behind the base line was awesome. I;ve never seen the announcers so blown away. Had not seen him play before but if this is what he's got, the finals going to be special. Can he continue at this level? Sure got a confidence booster today!

And for us old enough to know, the young Ali look and manner is unmistakable.
