"Spartacus... survives again"


          World number one Novak Djokovic has won an epic victory against Jo Wilfried Tsonga today in Roland Garros quarterfinals. After an easy first set (6-1) against French world number 5, Djokovic was ahead with a break advantage in the second set. From this point, Tsonga started to react the bursts of the energy tennis fans gave him and played outstanding 3 sets in the match ( 5-7, 5-7, 7-6 ). Although he had 4 match points in the he could not finsh the last set so we saw the unavoidable end for the match; Djokovic took the last set (6-1) and finished the match. 






         Actually it was not the first time, Djokovic survives like that, in 2010 Djokovic survived three match points against Federer and made the semi-finals. And now we have a great semi-final in Roland Garros, world number one and world number three will fight for big final and interestingly both came from 2 sets behind in quarter finals (Federer returned from two sets behind 3-6 6-7 6-2 6-0 6-3 )
