    Can tsonga advance with a 2-0 in sets win??

    First tie break is set diff???

    Berdy would be 1-2,Murray 1-2 and Tsonga would 1-2

    Set diff...Berdych 3-5,Murray 3-5, Tsonga 3-4..

    hmmm..Tsonga is +910 to win 2-0...

    Yes he will be in 2nd in the group if somehow he can straight set Murray. Highly unlikely in my opinion, but I'm certainly not the tennis expert.

    lol Tsonga has no shot today. he's been playing like he wants to go home, and Murray will make sure he advances on his home soil.

    I took Tsonga to win the 1st set. Fully expecting that if he drops the 1st set, his level will probably dip greatly and covering even +4.5 could be tough. Murray has dropped the opening set twice this week ... and marked it in my O2 thread - last 7 times he has been stretched to three sets, he has dropped the opener five times. Tsonga's best chance IMO is to hope he has his serve working and that Murray takes a little while to get into the match with his own serve and maybe sneaks out a TB. In other words, typical Tsonga.

    Correct.

    Yeah sorry, reading my scorelines wrong.

    Still taking a shot on Tsonga in the 1st. Murray hasn't played perfect tennis by any means this week and there is pressure on him here as well - albeit with more wiggle room.

    I'm taking Tsonga first set as well. How can't you with Murray being vulnerable on first sets and getting almost 3 to 1 odds. Great odds in my opinion.

    If Tsonga doesnt get broken early and holds his first two service games, he'll have a good chance at pushing this to a TB or possibly win the set outright.

    Any chance he can take at least 10 games from Murray MDF?

    It's possible, the surface seems like its a bit faster today. Tsonga's serve might have more pace thats if he can serve well. Ten games might be a stretch though, I would do the +4.5 or the Over. The Over 21.5 is a safer bet. You're in the bag if Tsonga takes the first set. Can't see him beating Murray in straights.

    Wow what an absolute joke Tsonga is. Murray giving him opportunities on a silver platter with an open court and he continues to fail. French white flag waiving

    Nice win for Murray. Tsonga played well for a few games there but the steadier head prevailed as usual.
