Tsonga hands Nadal a beating the likes of which he’s never seen

Right at this moment I’m following the scores (great, great pity I cannot see the match) of the Nadal Tsonga match, watching with disbelief as the in-form Nadal takes a beating the likes of which he’s never seen. No excuses, no injuries, simply seems like Tsonga got his number and just steam-rolled through him. Is a star born? Do we have a top four male players, all of a sudden, who are all capable of beating any of the other four? Seems so. Men’s tennis has suddenly blown wide open - with such a calibre of players as even Sampras could not deny is top class. Whether or not they have any of them won Grand Slams is moot - that is simply because one person until now has been doing all the winning (Federer).

Tsonga 6-2, 6-3, 6-2. As my Dad put it, “How amazing is that?”!

Here's Yahoo's take on it.
