Fernando Gonzalez has played well so far at Wimbledon 2011. Whether or not he can keep it up heading into a third round match against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga remains to be seen.
Watch and bet on Tsonga vs Gonzalez at bet365>live tennis.
Fernando Gonzalez, a former Grand Slam runner-up, could be a very dangerous player in the Wimbledon draw as the Chilean is into the third round following two solid performances in the opening rounds.
Gonzalez, never known as a 'pusher' on the tennis courts, has 31 aces so far at the All England Club, an impressive statistic given that he only has two double faults in the tournament so far.
Ranked just 478th heading into the All England Club, Gonzo is in dire need of ranking points and if he can find a way into the fourth round, or even the quarters, he'll have something keeping him afloat as he attempts a comeback on tour.
Tsonga made the final at London's Queen's Club a short time ago and in round two of Wimbledon he defeated a dangerous young star in Grigor Dimitrov. Tsonga made the quarters of last year's Wimbledon draw and if he and Gonzo are both playing well, the fans may be treated to an exciting four or five setter as the first week of Wimbledon winds down.
Gonzalez won the only match between the two players, a hard court match at the 2009 US Open. Their match time is provided below and it will start following the Del Potro vs Simon third round match.
