Roger Federer vs Rafael Nadal - ATP World Tour Finals London 2011

Federer Tsonga Re-match!!!!!!!


Jo-Wilfried Tsonga leaned to his left, dug out a deft backhand half volley winner that dripped  over the net like a splotch of yellow paint dabbing a blue canvas. That eye-popping shot gave Tsonga match point and prompted his father, Didier, to spring from his seat and rock side-to-side with such fervor he nearly shook the scarf off his neck in celebration.
Tsonga combined some ballistic serving with brush-stroke brilliant shot making to sweep Tomas Berdych, 6-3, 7-5, and reach the ATP World Tour Finals title match for the first time.
Delivering the dazzle before a festive Saturday night London crowd, Tsonga set up a Sunday showdown with five-time champion Roger Federer, a 7-5, 6-3 victor over David Ferrer. It marks the third straight Sunday Federer will face Tsonga with the Swiss prevailing in the Paris Masters final two weeks ago before beating the Frenchman 6-2, 2-6, 6-4, in last Sunday's round-robin match.
Nearly untouchable on first serve today, Tsonga won 27 of 30 points played on his first delivery, swatted seven aces and surrendered serve just once in the 93-minute semifinal.
Group A winner Berdych tried to target the Tsonga backhand and earned double break point in the fifth game.  Tsonga slid a serve into the corner to save the first, erased the second with a forcing forehand and used successive errors from Berdych to hold for 3-2.

Five-star performance by a five-time champion


The Swiss Maestro Roger Federer did not disappoint his home fans as he earned a comprehensive 6-1 6-3 victory over the Japanese No. 1 Nishikori to defend his title here in Basel. With this victory Federer took his titles tally to 68 and claimed his fifth title here in Basel. Nishikori tried to make a comeback in the second-set, but just could not come with something special at the crucial junctures and lost this battle in straight sets.

U S Open 2011 Men’s Final Nadal V Fish


We are back at flushing meadow hard court and hard core tennis this means a lot to every player on tour and every tennis fan. Here it get’s personal and dirty that`s how we american fans likes our sports .
Ok let’s take a look at this year men’s drew and see how we get to Nadal Fish final.
Djockovic draw the only danger is Berdych & Monfils but giving the edge to Monfils only because of Berdych shoulder injeury and the same to Djockovic sorry not enough time to recover between Cinci, and New York.
Federer have it tough this year don’t think he will make a deep run he has Fish, Tsonga, Verdasco and Harrison so my pick is Fish out of this group he is playing great and he is healthy.
Del Potro and Murray they have it made this year but Murray wants to win a slam more and he has the game to back it up against Del Potro so my money on Murray.
Nadal only faces a task against Roddick or Ferrer and odds are Nadal will make it through at the end of the day.
Now you have Fish & Monfils and hard court home advantage I have to give Fish the edge here.
Nadal & Murray again my money on Nadal for the obvious reason mental toughness .
Here we are at the final Nadal V Fish the two met seven times before with Fish only taking one win but very meaningful win in Cincinnati 6-3 6-4 . The last time they met here in New York Nadal won in four sets and Fish won the first set . Fish knows it could be done and he may not have that many chances at a grand slam final. It will come down to how wants it more .
