Tsonga had been totally dominant throughout, serving 7 aces and dropping just three points on serve the whole match. It took him just twenty minutes to take the first 6-1, breaking Lopez in the second and sixth games of the the set. Lopez fought a bit harder in the second, saving two break points in the first game before he was eventually broken.
