* Federer 6-3 7-6 4-6 4-6 1-3 Tsonga
Tsonga has touched these levels before, not least during his charge to the Aussie Open final in 2008 when he chewed Rafa Nadal up like an angry bulldog in the semi-final, but so rarely has he maintained them for so long. At 0-15 he crunches a forehand down the line through a gap the size of a Polo mint - I'm exaggerating a touch, but go with it - and cruises through the remainder in serene fashion.
