Ayyy
Chokovic didn’t. Novak Djokovic makes it to the Australian Open final, beating Roger Federer 7-6, 6-3, 7-6. And 2008 won’t be another Federal/Naderer year. Guess I’ll have my annual Federer dream a little early this year. (Roger, Rafa is not the only other player on earth. Ditch the history spiel, you need to enjoy killing on the court. Maybe get a coach. What about Andre?)
So. Tsonga.
P.S. Did someone just say Marat?! You want Tsonga to have a career like Marat’s?! Oh, as a curse. Sorry, we get emotional at the mention of Saffy’s Russian Tartar father—who is 28 today (Sunday) and hurtling down the ATP rankings!
Baghdatis ’06, Gonzales ’07, Safin ’04 all had a great run to the final, then got a walloping from the same guy. (Marat won in 05). I love Marat, but he’s the great squandered genius of his time. And Bags, another wonderful wasted talent. I don’t like this Next Something or other. Allow Tsonga to be the great Tsonga.
I think The Fed is getting bored. I’m not sure winning without really trying is good for anyone. Where’s the passion? Andre Agassi for coach! As for Nads, he’d never made the semis in Melbourne before this year, so he still gains. (Double Ayyy: Rafa had to fly home economy-class. Can his massive quadriceps even fit in coach?) Meanwhile, Sharapova shrieks her way to victory, Ivanovic exits with ears bleeding. Seriously, Maria deserved it.

i really really hope that tsonga wins this, and move on to become baghdatis or gonzo, or even safin.. i like djokovic but i’m worried nadal might never get to no.1…
i don’t want to sound too carried away, but it’s starting to look like the end of an era.. an amazing era, though…

today is a very tragic day. damn djocovic. go tsonga, i guess. id rather let him win than djocovic. anyways, novak looks like milo ventimiglia (peter petrelli in heroes). damn it i’m so grieving!!!

how’s mike’s ulcer?

yeah, i also have an eery feeling that it’s the end of an era. maybe 1 more grand slam loss and i think it’s really the end. but let’s not count the french open, we all know rafa owns that.

roger’s got to lose sometime. at the very least, i won’t have to be stressed out the whole year hoping he’d win the golden slam. steffi graf he ain’t. but he’s got to enjoy demolishing opponents on court again yeah.

Tsonga’s going to win and be the next Gustavo Kuerten [unknown guy who comes out firing and wins a grand slam].
Maria Sharapova would win the Women’s final.
I don’t think this is the end of an era though. It is just one tournament.

tomorrow’s final is a must-see. it’s hard to predict who’s gonna win!!! both are brilliant in their semifinal matches.
poor ana. well.. i bet there’s more to come for her.

i do hope there wouldn’t be a great tsonga..
there’s a reason i want him to have a career even worse than marat.. see my account name..
January 26th, 2008 at 18:50
oh and don’t take me seriously.. i’m just a stupid fan who takes his losses personally.. i’m not the only one, though…
