@@sasook You're right ! But if we focus only on Tsonga's performance, I think he played better at AO 2008 against Nadal... He said himself that he was in a mental way that allowed him to play his best tennis this day but he never recovered this since this match...

2nd best, i think. His Wimbledon win against Fed was 1st, imo. While this one was more surprising and entertaining, Tsonga was a big man with a power stoke; and as we know, those guys will occasionally feast on Nadal with his high bouncing strokes. While Nadal was #2 seed, the tale of the tape favored Tsonga. The win against Fed, on the other hand, was against the best, on his best surface, playing well: and Tsonga still overcame. But this night was Tsonga's introduction to the world; the one that put him on the map.

I cannot think of another match in a Grand Slam in which Nadal, who was in actually very good form and not playing badly at all, was so humiliated. Tsonga‘s volleys were just insane and his forehand vicious af!

In 2009 against Del Potro, he was actually a bit injured (abdominals I think), so it was unfortunate for him. But here, as already said, he was almost in prime form, no injury, had a superb year later on etc. And Tsonga still wiped the floor with him so brutally…

Hat off to Tsonga. I remembered checking the score when i was in college. Truly unexpected. What a performance. I was so proud.

This tsonga was perfect machine like Safin

Nobody expected this sort of dominance from a newcomer. It was a monumental upset as he just outplayed Rafa in that match

Great win for Wilfred , such a nice down to earth human being 👏😊

Tsonga, delpotro on their day can hurt any players including the big 3 on non clay courts.. Big serve, big forehand, 70% of first serves in and the opponent is done & dusted... Honorable mention is Stan in this list where he can particularly decimate novak on his day

This match is underestimated, Tsonga's performance was one of a lifetime, he played an insane level and blew Nadal off the court. Some of the volleys he was hitting were some of the best volleys every and that's not an exaggeration at all. Actually Nadal himself said that he couldn't at all believe some of the volleys he was seeing :-D

Wow. Beating Nadal when he was still in full energy. What an incredible performance from Tsonga. I bet if he was born in non-Big3 era, he would achieve at least 3 or 4 GS.

Thanks for the upload 😊

Tsonga exploited Rafa's biggest weakness. Rafa always covers his backhand side on the return so it's relatively easy for a big server to simply go to the open forehand side everytime. You have to be brave to go for it time and again especially big points. But I can't understand how / why everyone didn't do this throughout Rafa's career especially on faster courts! So many easy aces / unreturned serves just due to positional factor!

I wish the full match of this awesomeness is uploaded...

Wow, Tsonga also beat Murray on the first round (despite eating a donut in third set), impressive, his peak ?!

He was as they say in the NBA in a zone! He would’ve won the AO had he played like this against Djokovic

15:24 If it was Djokovic not Nadal, Djokovic gave Tsonga that point not replay.

I think tsonga is one of the top player who wasted his talent. His serve is better than many top seeded, his back hand, forehand, placement are absolute outstanding.

Time stamp - 18 minutes - Rafa 2 sets to love down - 15-40 on serve - 3rd set.. imagine if he could pull this around and win the match! Thats what he did in 2022 finals - hattss off! He was so negative in 2008- if you go back to that 3rd set in 2022, he was pumping his fists and rarely showed any negative emotions even when down.

good wrist tasonga ❤ fighter ⭐ !!! i

Tsonga should have been number 1 and won at least 4 or 5 grand slams. He somehow lacked self confidence and agressivity and was too senaitive to shame. He was solidly built, able to be fast as well, and capable of increible focus, but was simultaneously fragile. Dommage.

I loved Tsonga's style. He could have been an all-time great. But other coaches really exploited his lack of speed and figured him out.

Power vs Power. Nadal has topspin, but Tsonga has flat strike.

How many times since the start of his incredible career has Rafael been so outplayed in a loss? In my opinion 5/6 times maximum. This is to say the extraordinary performance of Jo-Wilfried that day.
