Could be a Tsonga-Novak final with the result so far
Federer down 2 games and fighting with Novak 6-6 on third set

Can you imagine? Federer lost to Djokovic. It's a Tsonga - Djokovic final. I would have preferred to see Tsonga beat Fedex in the final though. It's the end of an era for Federer. I'm so disappointed in him.

Don't be disappointed in him!! he took 400,000$ home for playing semi and to me thats some achievement under two weeks  |

But hey audacious bet . . . Tsonga to win in 4 sets!
This is clearly the end of an era!!! This is the last yr for Fedex to win a grandslam, after this it will be downhill from here. First Nadal on clay, Nalbandian, Tipsarevic, Novac . . . the fear of Federer is gradually disappearing. Others will take courage from this game and feel Fed can now be beaten.
Goodbye Fed . . . u certainly gave us 4 most memorable yrs of unforgettable Tennis. . . your name is already etched in gold in Tennis hall of fame. Clay (FO) will certainly go to Nadal, grass (Wimbledon) will also go to Nadal, Djokovic will pick the US open.

I eat my words. I beg to disagree a little. I believe that not only will Federer win another Grand Slam, he will win at least 15 surpassing Pete Sampras' all-time record of 14. Yeah, Federer has dominated Grand Slam tournaments since 2004 winning 12 of 16 Grand Slams. He loses at times(4 now 5) but that doesnt make him less greater. |

@ bioye, part of Fed's era of dominance was psychological . . . most players already felt defeated long before they arrived on court. Now every player knows that Fed is beatable. The list of players who can now beat him is growing daily . . . if he wins 2 more slams he'd be very lucky.

Dont write off Federer yet. He might not win the usual three slams, but he still has game.
To say part of his hold on other player was largely psychological discredits one of the best players that ever lived.
But Djokovic looks like the man to beat now. Prior to this slam, I thought his serve was a weak link to be exploited
but he looks to have plugged that hole. And he went forehand to forehand with Federer and came out on top in the confrontations.
I dont want to get overexcited about Tsonga, but I don's see anything in Djokovic's game to scare him.
He is quicker on the court, his forehand is just as fierce and he is superb at the net. if he consistently gets some first serves in,
he wins that battle too.
If he keeps looking as confident as he did against Nadal------then he really should win.

I agree with Doyin . . . Tsonga is looking more likely to win the final. He will leap into the top 10 if he can hold his nerve to win.

Tsonga is on song at the moment

since defeating Federre last year, everybody even federre knows that Djokovic will be his nemesis
well i give the title to Djokovic
He is the man at the moment

Federer out Well i think Federer was just too inconsistent thru out the tournament and when his serve let him down, there was not much to back it up well looking 4ward 2 a stunning finale maybe a 5 Set Finale |

Federer's downfall was unforced errors. up 5-3 in the first set, i thot he had won the game only to lose 4 straight games on the bounce. David
