Meanwhile Hobak breaks in the fourth for *6-5 with an awesome point - endless cagey slices ended with a perfect BH dropshot.

Serve-and-volley on the second serve, amazing drop volley to hold for 2-0

What a volley from Tsonga to take a 2-0 lead! And Novak won.

For once in a lifetime Roger made a correct challenge and immediately an arrogant shrug like how could you miss it (even if he himself moved to other side already to receive).

I like Tomic, I think he may be better than Murray in the future, he already has a better forehand

Only Tsonga can beat Rafito this Sunday I think Novak will beat him too if the meet.

If you go to youtube you can see Tsonga hitting one handed backhand passing shots, it is like a copy of federer's running nbackhand passing shot, that magic thing he does with his wrist

That was a hideous Federror which would've brought the score to 30-30 instead of 40-15. Hope Tsonga can serve it out - it will be a nervous game for all concerned. Including us. Damn! What a FH return.

Two huge Tsonga returns there but he'll have to serve for it...

Wow. Served out to love. Second straight Wim QF defeat for Fed, brilliant stuff from Tsonga. Amazing celebrations too.

First ever Slam loss from two sets up for Fed.
Still waiting for Tsonga though, classy stuff.

Tsonga never flinched. I was waiting for a collapse to come but it didnt' happen. Even after he won the third set, I wasn't taking it too seriously but he got better as the match wore on. Really this was a match which Tsonga went out and won - no Federer falling apart.

Also, when was the last time a Frenchman played with balls in a Slam big match?

andy should be a nightmare match up for feli, but then feli should have the more natural grass game
