Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has caused the biggest upset of Wimbledon so far by knocking out Roger Federer in 5 sets, 3-6 6-7 6-4 6-4 6-4
Tsonga is now through to the semi finals. What a fantastic performance by both players! It must be the highlight of Tsonga's career, as it would be for any tennis player to beat Federer at Wimbledon.
Even though I admire Federer's skill and good sportsmanship, I think that this shocking result adds some great excitement to the tournament - it only remains to be seen what happens in the Nadal game now!
how do you feel about this result?

What a game and who would have said Tsonga would end up victorous after Federer has won the opening two sets. After having watched Federer win the first two sets I certainly am shocked thet he did not hold on and book himself a place in the semis. Tsonga played good tennis in the beginnig but just did not find the right rhythem. But when he did find it later he made Federer pay the price and knocked him out of Wimbledon 2011.
Having all odds stacked gainst him right from teh beginning and even during the match Tsonga has proved that he can be a winner and certainly cannot be taken lightly. With Federer out Nadal nursing an injury could we see another winner this year at Wimbledon 2011. Lets wait and see what happens and hope we have an exciting contest.

Its was really good match and quite surprising win considering Federer went 2 set up to come back from 2 set down and win great performance by Tsonga
I think Federer is not good as before but still great performance by Tsonga now it will be interesting see how Wimbledon goes considering even Nadal is slightly injured
