One of the most important matches in Djokovic’s career because the victory guaranteed him becoming No. 1 in the world. In the opening set Tsonga was serving at 5:4 (deuce) when risked his second serve and sent the ball long. Djokovic [2] raced to a comfortable 7-6, 6-2, 4:2* lead, but Tsonga broke back playing his best tennis, actually the 3rd set of that match it could be the best set of the entire Wimbledon ’11 – there were winners of all sorts, both players were involved in rallies diving on the court. In the tie-break the Serbian had two match points (6:5, 8:7), but Tsonga [19] withstood both in an authoritative style, the first one with a relatively tough overhead. In 2011 Djokovic was unbelievable in keeping his concentration at the highest level over long periods of time. The lost set despite two match points from reaching the No. 1 spot, didn’t affect him at all – in the first three games of the 3rd set he lost only two points, and without any drama held his serve to the end to convert the 3rd match point with a service winner. My other description of the match.
