Federer vs Tsonga ~ SO MANY Unforced Errors?!?

-
In the 2013 Aussie Open Quarter Finals vs Tsonga, I have never, out of any matches in his entire career, ever seen Federer hit so many mishits and unforced errors. Have You? Tsonga definitely has the service game, and granted Federer is certainly getting in a lot of his classic winners, but Federer would usually win WAY MORE rallies in his USUAL classic style playing... Federer's statistics ain't all that in this match!!!

Agreed Federer is the better player, but that's not what I'm not talkin' 'bout... In this match Federer's serve ain't really there, MANY forehands are going long, court shots aren't as strong as they usually are. Federer of a few years ago would have taken this match in 4 games...

That should have said "Federer of a few years ago would have taken this match in 4 sets...".

Favorite Answer

This was one of, if not the only year in which Federer did not play a tune-up tournament leading into the Australian Open. That would explain why he looked a little rusty, although it will be a shame if the rustiness continues, as this is shaping up to be one of the best Australian Open semifinal fields in recent memory.

Djokovic in 5 is my prediction. It is a sad prediction (my favorites are Fed and Delpo, followed with the aid of Djoko), however i have a dreadful feeling about this Roland Garros. Nadal is on a tear, destroying everything in sight over on the easier facet of the draw. He gets Almagro (a pretender who boosts his ranking traditionally by way of tiny clay activities) and Ferrer (just right participant but no Djoko/Fed), whereas Fed gets Delpo/Djoko and Djokovic will get Tsonga/Fed. Nadal has the simplest second week draw through far, as common. I anticipate Fed to win two of the first three sets after which run out of steam in opposition to a 25 yr old Djokovic who is at his bodily top. I quite hope i am incorrect however i suppose i am going pessimistic...5-7, 6-three, 6-7, 6-4, 6-three. Then Djokovic might be too tired for the ultimate after taking part in three straight marathons and lose in 4 to Nadal.

Im too sick of this match.
I mean 108 unforced errors out of 333 points **** it almost 1/3 of the points.
its probably the wrost game federer ever played in grand slam against top 10 player and won

Well, lets hope he plays just as badly when he versus Murray.
