Roger Federer faces Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the semifinals of the 2010 Australian Open in several hours. In the quarterfinals, Federer beat Nikolay Davydenko in a bizarre four-set match while Tsonga overcame an ailing Novak Djokovic in five.
The outcome of this match is largely going to depend on Tsonga’s mental toughness and ability to focus over five sets. In previous rounds, there were times when Tsonga lost focus and, as a result, his play suffered. Against Federer, such lulls will be fatal.
Regarding tactics, this match is pretty straight forward. Tsonga needs to serve well, attack with his forehand, and keep points short to win. The question is whether he can do this for five sets. We don’t think he can and we expect Federer to win in four, advancing him to the final of the Australian Open where he’ll face Andy Murray.
