But Roger Federer is dominant. Coming into last night's semifinal matchup against Novak Djokovic Federer had won 2 straight Australian Opens and reached 10 (!) straight Grand Slam Finals winning all but the 2 French Opens in that span. Federer had won 19 straight matches overall down under until Djokovic clipped him last night.
Federer losing just does not happen. The difference between what Federer has done and what the Patriots have done, for example, is the Patriots made news by winning every game they played. Well this is expected of Roger. He only really gets mentioned when he loses. Especially when the loss comes to someone other than world #2 Rafael Nadal. Djokovic has solidly entrenched himself as the third best player in the world, but to this point he is probably best known for his spot on imitations of fellow competitors Maria Sharapova and Rafael Nadal. Since no one watches tennis but me, you'll just have to trust me on this one.
Speaking of the statuesque Sharapova, take off your pants and break out the lube because at 9:30 this evening (all times Eastern) she will take on Ana Ivanovic in the Finals.
