rumble young man rumble

So i'm watching the Australian open because i love tennis (ye' aint know?). Anyway i'm watching this 22 year old frenchman Jo-Wilfred Tsonga just dominate Nadal (the #2 ranked player in the world) in straight sets 6-1, 6-3, 6-2...so i mean Dominate.



Somebody did a mario tennis recreation of the match and...its hella accurate!



It might be considered racist because the black guy is portrayed as a big gorilla but consider this, its more about how he overpowers his opponents. Hes 6'0" 210lbs. Thats huge for a tennis player; thats the size of an NFL running back! Nadal played a good match, only 12 unforced errors but...its hard to for even the #2 ranked player in the world to survive 17 aces (including a brilliant one for match point). But yea...they've compared him to a young Ali because of the way he looks...
i see it a bit because this forehand does look like a right hook...but regardless...the kid is amazing and i look forward to seeing him in the finals
