I didn't think either one of these guys would end up in the finals, nor did I think the final four would be Tsonga, Davydenko, Blake and Murray - granted injuries occured. Still, it was actually nice to see someone other than the top 4 win a title.
Jo Willie Tsonga defeated David Nalbanian 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 in the BNP Paribas Masters final. Willie started out on fire, breaking Nalbandian in the first game of set #1 and stayed strong to take the first set.
Jo Willie petered out a bit in the 2nd set, committing 3 times as many errors as Nalbandian and Nalbandian was able to break at 4-5 to take it.
Onto the 3rd we go. Tsonga broke early go up. Nalbandian put up a great fight but was never able to get back in the match. By winning his first Master's shield, Tsonga also earns the final spot in the Tennis Master's Cup in Shaghai. He joins Nadal, Federer, Djokovic, Murray, Davydenko, Roddick and Del Potro.
