Gotcha, thanks!

Wobbling all over the place...On one hand he is not from some shady country(Cypress) like some of these guys, but the French do...well, give up

**tbonmusikman** · 01-29-10, 04:33 AM

looks like Tsonga's muscles are all tired (extremely) after the two five setters. never bet tennis before. how would a "fed wins 3-0" be graded if Tsonga just retires? Any chance he would do that out of frustration?

**Shortstop** · 01-29-10, 04:33 AM

Doesn't look good at all for Tsonga.

**Shortstop** · 01-29-10, 04:34 AM

Where is my man Shooter?

**Shortstop** · 01-29-10, 04:35 AM

Shooter loves tennis. I know he's watching this somewhere.

it will be over to fast for that to happen...

**tbonmusikman** · 01-29-10, 04:37 AM

It's interesting to realize that everyone there is thinking about their opponent in a different language.

**tbonmusikman** · 01-29-10, 04:39 AM

Tsonga needed that challenge. Good job bud, now lose with grace

Not sure...Pretty sure books have different rules when a guy retires. Canceled my Hewitt/Baggy match the other day.

It is kind of funny.

**2daBank** · 01-29-10, 04:42 AM

wish i would have got down on fed 3-0...but i figured und 37 was safer as it could go 4 and stay under

**Shortstop** · 01-29-10, 04:42 AM

Total domination.

Wish I could have gotten down on almost anything. Bet Phoenix aint offering crap on these tennis matches...First Set moneyline, Regular moneyline, and first set over/under is it. Almost took under 10 first set, Just took Fed firs set at -300.

wow that sucks 1st set total is it? that shit a coin flip

**The General** · 01-29-10, 04:49 AM

It's saddening that it is such a dominent winning performance by Federer, but the man is the very best at what he does. Not real surprising. He has played well throughout the tourney from what I seen while viewing. I was hoping for a surprising battle so I am depressed about this lopsided action. I did not have much faith in Tsonga anyhow so I was just praying for a shocking effort.

no worries...i mean even IF somehow tsonga took this set which is very unlikely way its going under would be good in 4

**The General** · 01-29-10, 04:51 AM

Let's get a rally Songer and get back into it.

Who am I kidding?

but that would have killed our under general....plus this is great 1st time im gonna be asleep before 5 all week..i could use it this tourney is wearing on me probably havnt slept more than 14 hours this week

**The General** · 01-29-10, 04:52 AM

Tsonga is going to be lucky to win 6 games here.

(EDIT) HE has 6. Maybe he can get 8.

Understood. You need rest. I am up till aboout 8 AM every morning anyhow lately, unrelated to the tourney. Rest well, Sir.

It's in the bag for Federer.

For real.

**The General** · 01-29-10, 04:57 AM

I'd love to see a BIG TIME rally though and a historic comeback just for fun.

**The General** · 01-29-10, 04:59 AM

Game Set Match guys. Get some rest. One of the worst beatdowns in the Semi's ever. Federer is a beast, but Tsonga isn't exactly a serious contender.

**Shortstop** · 01-29-10, 04:59 AM

Tsonga will still make nice loot despite losing tonight, right?

**2daBank** · 01-29-10, 04:59 AM

so can murry beat fed? i thought maybe he had shot this year but now not so sure

**The General** · 01-29-10, 05:02 AM

Anyone think Andy Murray is a threat to Federer in this tourney?

I don't.

im with you general when fed plays like this nobody beats him

**tbonmusikman** · 01-29-10, 05:04 AM

Fed looks like he's firing on all cylinders. The Murray/Fed match will at least be interesting but it seems like fed is in position to take it.

Not if his baseline game is the same as today's.

**2daBank** · 01-29-10, 05:07 AM

should be way more entertaining though... i will probably be on the over and fed

**Jonah** · 01-29-10, 05:07 AM

This gonna affect the line for the Finals most likely

. Just like the Saints crappy performance affected the SB Line. Murray has a chance, but after I saw Fed have that look back - IMO - after the Hewitt match, I was sold on Fed.
