Australian open, the first grand slam tournament for the year 2008 had its great end yesterday.
Thrills, excitements, disappointments and I do not have any more words to explain. Yes, that was how the two weeks gone.
Top seeds like Roger Federer, Nadal and Henin stumbled in this tournament. We have a new men and women Australian open champion for 2008. Apart from that, we have witnessed other new players rising on the horizon and that is a good sign for the forthcoming tournaments.
The Serbian man Novak Djokovic won the men's title and the Russian woman Maria sharapova won the women's title.
Champion and the champion in waiting:
The 2008 Australian open final was one of the greatest matches ever played in the history of tennis. Ever since Federer emerged as number one player, we have seen him on all the Grand slam tournaments final and he won most of them.
Because of the stumbling of top seeds, yesterday's final match between Djokovic and Tsonga was a quite thrilling one. The match lasted for 3 hours and it went up to four sets.
Tsonga who took the first set and he was ready to knock out the third seed Novak Djokovic. However, the third seeded quickly got up from his fall. He took the next three sets and became a champion.
During the presentation, they announced Djokovic as the champion and Tsonga the French man as the "champion in waiting". Yes, it was really a true statement. The kind of energy and attitude he has shown on the match was awesome. Truly, he has a great future ahead.
