Spectacular afternoon at Wimbledon today, with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga coming from two sets down to defeat six-time champ Roger Federer, 3-6, 6-7 (3), 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. (I believe this was Fed's first time ever losing a Grand Slam match from two sets up.) At the same time, Novak Djokovic won a close four-set battle with Aussie Bernard Tomic, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5. I haven't been able to watch a lot, but from what I've seen I've been so impressed with the level of play, including the Serena Williams-Marion Bartoli match yesterday. What a slug fest!

Apparently it's the first time Federer has ever lost a Grand Slam match when leading by two sets. He looked like he was cruising to a fairly easy win, and Tsonga wasn't putting up that good of a fight, and then Tsonga kicked it into another gear.
