Nothing would please me more than to see Tsonga develop a mental game that matched his talent. But he'll take what you give him. Sometimes that's enough, but it won't make a champion.

Gaston Gaudio was a champion

But I agree.

Gaston Gaudio was a champion

I know it's not a popular opinion, but I think Gaston Gaudio had guts when he won the French, and he certainly has guts to keep trying to come back setback after setback

I don't think that's fair. Tsonga is a head and shoulders above Sam in terms of talent, but he is injured much more often as well...

I agree! Comparing Tsonga and Querrey is weird!
It's like putting in the same category

a grand slam finalist, who reached multiple quarters slams and won a masters series as well as several ATP tournaments, and who also is totally hot gorgeous with the bode of male model, ha and I forgot who is ranked 7

with a dude ranked in the late 20s who is so ugly and negative it's difficult to actually watch his matches until the end, has never made it past round 2 of 70 percent of the tournaments he enters including slams!!

wow, the analogy makes sense! and I don't particularly like Tsonga.

it's like you're talking about Tomas Berdych. I do not recognize Tsonga in what you say!!!!!!

My favorite paragraph from Gaston's Wikipedia page (Re:2005):

He lost in fourth round of Roland Garros to David Ferrer after leading 4–0 in the 5th set and losing 6 consecutive games, when leading in the 5th set Gaudio said to Ferrer's coach at one point."Don't worry; I'm not going to win today". Gaudio also qualified again for the Tennis Masters Cup where he made the semi finals defeating Mariano Puerta and Fernando González and lost to Nikolay Davydenko in the round robin, before getting destroyed by Roger Federer 6–0, 6–0 in the semifinals.

First half of your sentence= I totally agree.

Second half= I just find his attempts these days sad now. It's his right to play, of course.
