Queens 2011 Day 2: Berrer v Tsonga

Berrer will have come to people’s minds as the guy who coulnd’t get past a one-legged Murray at RG. After Murray had rolled his ankle, he was forced to revert to uber-aggressive play and Berrer just seemed to implode.
It was, therefore, going to be interesting to see if he was going to try and banish this view from people’s minds from the outset. Tsonga was having none of that. A super quick start from the Frenchman saw him go 3-0. Tsonga was masterful, moving Berrer all around the court at will. Berrer was trying to up his game, but to no avail, and was bagelled.





Berrer started the second set with a little more spirit but again was quickly broken for Tsonga to lead 3-1, even after a slip as Berrer was positioning for a putaway. Tsonga was just too good, and won the match for the loss of just one game.
