Next Up - Berdych vs Jerry Janowicz

Interesting matchups in small tournaments, who thinks Jerry can spring an upset here, 3 times the odds on Jerry to win this.

Berdych won the first set.
JJ now 5-0 up in 2nd set TB...

7-0 tiebreak from JJ

JJ played great IMBl yet lost his serve for a second in 3rd and lost the match. Shame two youngsters valiant effort today went waste.

They both played well, they'll gain confidence from that

A loss is only a waste if the player doesn't analyse why...

Both are heart breaking loss, specifically Tomic who faught all the way in the match and missed 5 Match points in 3rd set tiebreaker.

That's a tough one to have a good nights sleep on. 5 MPs is a lot to lose...but either he choked or Tsonga dug in and ground them out. If Tsonga dug in then he can sleep easy...if not then Tomic will know he blinked at the crucial moments. However, he can learn from it....you always learn more from your losses anyway, especially when it's against much higher ranked players.

Actually Tsonga played blinder except for one mistake in the tie breaker, Tomic should take stride from the performance today.
