Only the thudding sound of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga's serve rivaled the fireworks and the noise of the fighter jets. The Frenchman's weapon was enough to shoot down James Blake 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 (3) in a match that will leave James totally frustrated. Tsonga's first serve was averaging more than 125 mph, and hard as he tried, Blake could never tame it. Flinging himself to the right or left, the American just about managed to get a racket on the ball on most occasions but doing anything useful with it was out of the question.
Blake got off to the worst start, dropping serve from 40-0 in the opening game live and even though he tried to change things up — three good drop shots midway through the first set gave Tsonga momentary pause — this was never a battle that Blake was going to win. Even when he served for the third set at 5-3, he couldn't hold as his incredible large and athletic opponent kept pressuring him with his power and mobility.
Strangely, the match was stopped for 10 minutes during the firework display that lit up Melbourne for Australia Day. The players were warned beforehand that it would happen and that play would stop if one or both players did not want to play through it. Tsonga didn't want to, so the players sat on court while the crowd caught glimpses of the display above the rim of Rod Laver Arena.
