Both the hot favorites in the men's singles have exited in the Australian open. This makes the final all the more interesting and exciting.
For the first time Federer appeared mortal and he succumbed to Djokovic's consistent game. May be Tipsarevic exhausted Federer to such an extent that he never regained his energy after that.
Looks like Federer express is nearing retirement and I wonder if there would be some to take Federer's place. Of the all the male tennis players I felt Sampras was the best but then Federer made me forget him easily. But now I don't think anyone can repeat such a feat in near time.

A great day in the sports world
Australia witnessed two great matches today - 4th day of the third 5-day cricket match between Indian and Australia and a third round 5-set match between Federer and Janco Tipsarevic.
India has again played spoilsport for Australian cricket team's winning streak. While managed to equal the Steve's record of winning 16 matches in a row, he could stop India from winning the third match comfortably.
But I enjoyed most watching the tennis match and what Federer said after the match would explain something about this match. After winning the fantastic match he said he wished there are draws in tennis. This speaks so much about the opponent. This is the first time Federer faced such a level of competition from someone other than Nadal in the last three or four years. It was an amazing match. Tipsarevic is definitely a player to watch in future.
After a long-time I lazed out today and enjoyed watching both these matches. We are almost half-way through term 7 and it appears to be consolidation phase. PPT's, Case preps, cv reviews, EOI's are in full swing. Yesterday two C0 09 admits visited the campus and I think this is the beginning the gyan giving to the next batch.
