Agree that Tsonga is better on grass but in competitiveness i give an edge to Ferrer. He has 71 % winning record on this surface also i think he will win more points from the baseline than Jo. I think odds are good for the spaniard.

I'm a huge Ferrer fan. However, Tsonga is better on grass. He has also looked better so far at this year's Wimbledon.

Tsonga for me, he is looking good this year, and remember he beat Nadal before this tournament. That been said, you can never trust him 100%

Jo is going to attack the net a lot and he has a great serve and volley game. You are right that Ferrer will win more points from the baseline but a lot of points won't come down to that.

Yeah he willtry to move Ferrer off the court with his massive game,but still if the spaniard can handle around more he will see some openings..I just think this match is far close than the odds suggest..I've tryed Over 40 games in my thread as i expect a long-over 3 sets-close affair

This is the thing, Ferrer is good at hanging around in points on clay, but grass is much faster, points are shorter and it suits Tsonga's game a lot more.
It doesn't matter how good a mover Ferrer is, if Tsonga attacks the net Ferrer has to go for passing shots or lobs. He can't just hang around in points.

ferrer is going to be able to return his serves all day and hes good at pin pointing his boundary shots, i think everyone is saying tsonga should win but with the odds you have to bet on ferrer if you're smart

Tsonga served absolutely incredibly last match, and his game will suit the fast conditions in the heat today.
However, Ferrer surely wins if it goes 5. Tsonga isn't good for 5 hard sets at the best of times, let alone in hot sun.
Thus, if you want to go on Tsonga, instead of the moneyline at -200ish, take Tsonga-1.5 sets at +111.

ferrer will win easy if he takes the first set... If not it may go the distance. If this match kubot lopez match doesn't finish soon this match may very well not finish. Tsonga has no heart at all. Hence the massive line drop.

93% points won on first serve for Tsonga, not broken all match. Simply incredible serving these last two matches.
