5-5 in a great first set so far....Goffin takes an insanely tight breaker. He easily won the positional battle that set and every tactical miscue on Tsonga's part, David made him play for it. But Tsonga just played great tennis, especially in the latter part of the set. Fun stuff. Still anybody's match.
2nd set: with both players being very aggressive trying to get to the net every chance they get andTsonga no longer willing to concede the baseline. the set was tight until a bad double fault by Jo-Wilfried handed a huge break to Goffin, 4-2.....David not making any mistakes which is not to say that he is playing conservatively. He certainly is keeping a lot of pressure on Tsonga and winning all the key points that he needs to win....5-3 David who now has to close the set, not really a strong point....no problem this time, though, 6-3. Belgium is definitely in the driver's seat now.
3rd set: David breaks early, 2-1. Plenty of time for Tsonga to respond, though he must be feeling a trifle frustrated at the moment....with constant, intelligent pressure from Goffin, Tsonga is beginning to crack and gives up a sloppier break this time, 4-1.....5-2 as Tsonga recovers from his upset over a non-call by the chair umpire on crowd noise (I'm presuming)....David closes it out beautifully. Superb performance by him who has done all he can do to help Belgium this day.
