>Well, 13 is not ominous in the west. Perhaps, this is the reason why he lost the game. Just kidding.

Sorry Kevin, I made a mistake with my statistic. Federer had made 10 straight Grand Slam finals, not 12 as I had stated. But even 10 is a big record that will likely not be surpassed in our lifetime.

>>Sorry, it should be 3 to 1. BTW, Tsonga is the black horse at Australian Open. He beat four seeds and stormed into the finals. A great player.

Yes Tsonga is a great player. It's too bad he didn't win the Australian Open this year.
I fear however that he has lost his golden opportunity. I believe he has achieved his '15 minutes of fame' and will now fade away from the top of the tennis world.

I hope I am wrong, but it just seems this way based on how he played prior to this tournament and in the final against Djokovic.

He is just too big a man to be successful in the daily tennis tour grind.
He would have more success as a boxer or American football player.
