He got Serbed!

I still can't frickin' believe it--world no. 1 Federer, THE Roger Federer, got booted out of the Australian Open by no. 3 Novak Djokovic! In straight sets! On the one hand, it's cool 'coz at least tennis has become somewhat unpredictable again. On the other, it's kind of sad. A grand slam final without Federer. I didn't think it would happen any time soon. (Nadal ain't in it either. What's going on?!)

Federer's thoughts? "I've created a monster that I need to win every tournament," he said. "Still, the semifinals isn't bad." That's true. It must be hard coping with people's expectations of him.

I'm still stunned though. You can read about it here. The women's final is supposedly a glamorous match--Sharapova vs. Ivanovic. See? It is possible to be hot AND at the top of your game. It's just weird that none of my manoks are in the finals: no Nadal, no Blake, no Henin! OK, Blake I can understand. But Nadal and Henin? Can't wait til the next Grand Slam.

P.S.
While I wish I could take credit for that title, I just paraphrased the Yahoo! heading. I thought it was brilliant!
