Rafael Nadal gets eliminated one day, Roger Federer the next. Federer had his Semifinals match against Novak Djokovic and also appeared off. Maybe Roger and Rafa enjoyed the off season too much. Anyway, Federer was beaten by Djokovic in straight sets 7-6, 7-5, 6-4. This is monumental as neither Rafa or Federer will appear in the Australian Open final. This will be only the second time since 2005 that either player did not appear in a Grand Slam final. Federer seems to be getting too old while Rafa struggled and may have injured himself late in his last match. I kind of like the instability while Tennis promoters are probably stunned a bit now considering that their big money makers are both out.
Novak Djokovic is in the final round and now waits to see if he will face Andy Murray or David Ferrer.
