US Open - Round 2 - Henman v Tsonga

TimG · Junior player

for me this is a very winable match but then still how many times has that been said with tim and then he has not produced. But then again who expected him to come through against tursonov. So Tim in a 5 set thriller for me

Seems to be an even match, as I've seen both Tsonga and Henman listed as the favourite on various bookies, so could go either way

Have a feeling this will be a bit like the Lopez match at Wimbledon, where he came off a big win and then faced a player he should beat, but just couldn't get the win in the end.

Tsonga is very flashy though, so if it isn't happening for him, then Tim has a great chance to progress to the next round, even though I think Tsonga is slight favourite and would probably back him to win in 4

Going to be another couple of hours before Tim though, as Stepanek vs. Djokovic is still in the early stages of the 4th set, with Stepanek 2 sets to 1 up, but Djokovic looking to fight back (really should have taken 6-1 odds on Stepanek to win), and then a womens match to follow, so maybe around 2130 when Tim gets on the court

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

After Djokovic and Stepanek take up 5 hours of play, Ivanovic wins the first set 6-1 in about 20 minutes...

Tim coming up soon, probably in the next hour at the very latest... but I don't think this match will be on the live stream, as they have always gone to the match nearest to ending after 1 finishes, so Serena, Jankovic, and possibly Youhzny may all be first in line to be shown (although I kind of hope they stay on this court and show Malisse/Nalbandian)

Still not started? Thought they would have finished by now.

Is there a live thread for this match? Seems as I watch the scoreboard Tsonga is having a much easier time with his serve.

you mean live stream, Doug ?

well I've been checking the various ones on www.myp2p.nl which lists all the streams

CCTV5 might have shown it as they never show womens matches but their coverage stopped at 8pm GMT....the other ones are all Eurosport I think....and on there it's the Serena Williams match. She's leading 6-4, 1-2* , hopefully she'll finish quickly and then it'll switch to Tim but Serena's making rather heavy weather of it and so it might be another 30min
