Nick Kyrgios did not do a good job with his appearance on lap two of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga: his opponent Rafael Nadal came to Center Court in Wimbledon like an irritated lion - and did not play against Tsonga: the Spaniard won with 6 : 2, 6: 3 and 6: 2, underlining his prospect of a third title on Church Road. Especially since in the next match with the winner of the game between Joao Sousa and Daniel Evans an opponent is waiting who will have no order against Nadal.
The prerequisites for a close match had been in place: Tsonga had won four of the twelve games against Nadal so far and recently showed increasing form in Halle. Nadal, however, was superior in every respect and almost never let the French dictate the rallies. And acted mercilessly as a server. After all, Tsonga fought off his opponent's first three match balls with his own serve, but the Mallorcan got the fourth after a playing time of 1:48 hours. As befits an ace.
