Had To Happen

Just when i was starting to feel happy by the thought of Federer taking on Djokovic in the Semis and Nadal in the Finals of the Australian Open, this had to happen! Federer, as much as he is talented, has been lucky enough to not play quality opponents in consecutive games of big tournaments. A fair bit of that has got to do with his opponents themselves(losing in early rounds), ofcourse. Nothing like a Sampras-Courier quarters, Sampras-Becker semis and a Sampras-Agassi finals or a Lendl-McEnroe quarters, Lendl-Connors semis and a Lendl-Wilander finals. Grrrrrrrr.

Tsonga has been playing really well. Don't underestimate him. Nadal had no chance against him.
