Who Will Win the Australian Open Men's Finals? Novak Djokovic or Jo-Wilfried Tsonga?

Both have done amazing jobs. Federer was felled by Djokovic in three sets, and number 2 Nadal was thrashed by Tsonga in three straight sets. So the world's number one and two are out, replaced by these two “upstarts”. This final will be, since the 2005 Australian Open, the first Grand Slam final not hosting either Federer or Nadal.

Tsonga from France, because of his looks, is called the Muhammad Ali of tennis. Maybe it's more than looks. He really played a superb match against Nadal. But no less stunning was Serbian Djovoci's performance against Federer.

Their final is coming up on Sunday. And all tennis fans wait with anticipation. While mourning the loss of Federer and Nadal, it's refreshing to see new faces. Somehow, the game seems energised and rejuvenated.

Did I say who I thought would win? No – because I have no idea, but it will be a fine match, I have no doubt, that should not be missed.
