Fish steht im Finale. Starke Leistung. Gratulation. Das tut dem amerikanischen Tennis sicherlich gut.
Mich freut es auch für Fish. Letztes Jahr stand er ja schon im Cincinnati Finale. Wenn er starke US Open spielt, dann kann das dem ganzen Turnier nur gut tun, denn von Roddick kann man nichts mehr erwarten und von Isner nur mit Abstrichen.
Ich schaue gerade Tsonga-Djoker. Wahnsinn was die beiden bisher spielen. Unglaubliche Intensität im match. 4-4 im 1. bisher. Nole hatte wieder einige Szenen dabei wo man meinen könnte er könnte über Wasser laufen. Beängstigend.
Q. What's the problem and how did it happen?
JO WILFRIED TSONGA: I have pain in my arm. In fact, it's my biceps. It's been for two or three days. I played doubles and singles also. That was a lot. My arm became tired.
Q. Is it worrying like for next week?
JO WILFRIED TSONGA: Well, I would prefer having nothing and having been able to finish that match. But I immediately went to have an ultrasound and I have no tear or anything serious, it's just general tiredness. It's a bad contraction of my muscle. But I need rest before I play Cincinnati.
It is a little bit worrying because there's a possibility I will not have recuperated before the beginning of the tournament in Cincinnati. But there's nothing very serious that would have me completely stop playing.
Q. Is there a treatment?
JO WILFRIED TSONGA: Yes. Ice and antiinflammatories and taking care of my arm.

Q. Is it a concern for you with the US Open in mind?
JO WILFRIED TSONGA: I think, you know, I did some MRI not MRI echography, ultrasound. My arm is okay; it's just tired.
I think for U.S. it's going to be fine anyway. But I hope I will recover this next two days to play in a good shape in Cincinnati.
Q. You'll play Cincinnati?
JO WILFRIED TSONGA: Yeah. For the moment, you know, I don't know. But I will do some treatment and I will see on site.

Q. Is there a particular moment when the pain started, maybe on a serve?
JO WILFRIED TSONGA: No. That pain has been there for three days already. I spent more and more hours on the courts. The more I played, the more it hurt. Therefore, it was a very wise decision to stop that match because I knew I had absolutely no hope of winning it.
Fish spielt wirklich gut, er hält auch von der Grundlinie erstaunlich gut mit und kann immer wieder seine Winner anbringen. Serve 'n Volley gefällt mir auch sehr gut.
Tja, Djokovic schon wieder mit einem erschreckend guten Turnier nach der Pause. Eigentlich hätte ich erwartet, dass der Abstand zumindest zu Federer und Nadal durch die Unterbrechung etwas kleiner wird. Jetzt müssen sich die anderen aber mal schleunigst Gedanken machen, wie sie diesen Rückstand bis zu US Open aufholen können.
