THE END.

It was a historic moment.It was a moment of immense pride and dream come true for him. It was a moment of ecstasy and jubilation for him.

It happened when the Serbian prince Djokovic knocked the Frenchman Tsonga down in the grand finale of Men's Singles Australian Open 2008 at Rod Laver Arena. Novak Djokovic is the first Serbian to win a Grand Slam title and that too at just a young age of 20. In fact, he made his name in the history book as the youngest male tennis player to win Australian Open at Melbourne.

What a pride moment for him, his family and his nation!

Men's tennis has gotten better with Federer,Nadal,Djokovic and likes of Tsonga threatening each other for the coveted position of Rank 1. It might well be the beginning of a new golden era with new players reigning the turf.

It was fun watching games at wee hours, only to get late for class & job:)

Sadly , it's now THE END of Australian Open 2008.

Yet Another Stunner in AO '08

The Federer Tennis Machine was brought to a shocking halt by the Serbian Djokovic on Day 12 of AO 08!

Djokovic tread past Federer to set up a clash with the unseeded Frenchman Tsonga in the Australian Open 2008 Final. None of them have won grand slams ever!!

Surely a bad day for the Lord of Tennis!!

My prediction of Federer winning the Semi went wrong but am still sticking to Tsonga clinching the Final! Lets see what happens!

Two Serbains in two different finals! Country must be proud of Djokovic and Ivanovic and praying for their wins!

Tennis couldn't have got better! I am loving it!

Australian Open 2008

Nadal left helpless and shocked.
Unseeded Tsonga making it to the Men's final.
Ivanovic resurging from 0-6 down to send Slovakian Hantuchova packing home.

What a day in the AO 2008! It was day 11 at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne.

I am dying to see Ivanovic, my favorite tennis princess, outclass Sharapova in Women's final. You might not predict so. Neither they predict so. But I am rooting for her, only for her.It's already being called as "possibly the most glamorous grand-slam final in history". Clash of drop-dead gorgeous tennis princesses!

Then awaits the blood bath in Men's game. I am afraid that Federer will find his nemesis this time in Frenchman Tsonga - the find of AO'08. Frenchman's strategic tennis intelligence coupled with immense physical strength makes him a great contender for this year's AO.

I predict Fed vs Tsonga in the Men's final with Tsonga as the winner!

If Djokovic could take on Fed in US Open 2007 , Tsonga can obviously in this Australian Open 2008.

let the game begin.

Serbs have arrived !!

Djokovic stunned Federer in Men's game and Ivanovic overpowered Nadia Petrova in Women's game. What a day for Serbians!! After Russians, it's now the Serbians who are hogging the limelight for their tennis prowess!

Novak Djokovic crushed Roddick and Nadal in straight sets in his way to set up the meeting with Roger Federer in the Final of Rogers Cup in Montreal.

Defeating Roger might have been the sweetest thing he did but with this much deserved win he also became the first player to beat the world’s top three ranked players in the same tournament since Boris Becker defeated No. 3 Michael Stich, No. 1 Pete Sampras and No. 2 Goran Ivanisevic in 1994 in Stockholm.

His intelligent game of tennis with balanced talent made Rogers gasp for life on the Big Day. Djokovic is the talent to look out for this Summer!

And then came the Serbian beauty at LA in style and walked away with the Trophy stabbing all her opponents.

Ana ,19,pulled a deserving win against Petrova in the final of East West Bank Classic in Carson, California and propelled herself to a career high of rank 4.Her forehands were deadly and accounted to 21 of 31 of her winners.

Petrova was overwhelmed by the majestic game of Ana Ivanovic who is sometimes compared to legendary Steffi Graff for her forehand shots.

She is the upcoming nemesis to the present tennis princess Maria Sharapova. Maria better be working on her shots!!
Above all,as stated in Wikipedia, Ana Ivanovic has been called the prettiest female player to ever grace the Wimbledon courts by the British tabloids. Way to go damsel!

US open series is getting interesting by each passing day and more amazing is the emergence of hidden talents to the world stage.

i am loving it!
