No sooner had the dust settled from Jo-Wilfried Tsonga's complete dismantling of World No. 2 Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic came out and did a similar hack job on World No. 1 Roger Federer, 7-5, 6-3, 7-6, in a match that was much less close than the score even indicates. A truly brilliant display from the crazed ball-bouncing Serb. No Nadal or Federer in the finals of a Grand Slam event -- could this be the beginning of the official changing of the guard?

The King is dead. Long live the new Princes. I paraphrased that from a tv commentary I heard when Steffi won for the first time in Wimbledon over Martina Navratilova. Yay!
I'm so glad that two new faces will be gracing the Australian Open Men's Final...so very awesome! I have no problem with either winning, but if I was forced to choose, I want Nole to win (as much as I adore Jo-Wilfried Tsonga).
God, I hate this. Couldn't it at least have been in the FINAL?
Here's my impersonation of that ball-bouncing asshat if he didn't have the tennis talent:
"I get business degree at Cal State. I open nightclub, yes?"
DJOKO IS HOTTTTTTTT...I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM YEARS AGO--WHEN I FIRST SAW HIM......WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SERB. I'D JUST GRAB ON TO HIS SHOULDERS AND HANG ON FOR THE RIDE.
HIS BROTHERS ARE JUST AS CUTE AND WILL GROW UP TO BE JUST AS HOT AND LEAVE EVERYONE AROUND THEM WITH "THE VAPORS!"
MY NEW TENNIS LIST IS:
1. NOVAK
2. RAPHAEL
3. MARAT
4. JAN MICHAEL
ANDY USED TO BE NUMBER 1 BUT I AM SO SICK OF ROOTING FOR HIM AND HIM JUST FAILING EVERY TIME ON BIG MATCHES. AFTER HE HITS THE BALL HE JUST STANDS THERE TO SEE WHERE IT GOES INSTEAD OF RUNNING BACK TO THE MIDDLE AND GETTING READY FOR THE NEXT SHOT. EVERY TIME THE PRESSURE IS ON FOR HIM TO MAKE A SHOT OR AN ACE OR THE CRUCIAL POINT---HE JUST FAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SICK OF HIM...HE IS GORGEOUS TO LOOK AT BUT AIN'T NOTHING THERE ANY MORE!!!!!
