    Sharapova looks to be winning this.

    7-5, 4-3.

    Ivanovic came back losing the first set and trailing 0-2 in the second to Hantuchova. I doubt Sharapova is going to let the same happen though.

    I like Federer but I could have vouched that Songa will win irrespective of who reached the finals. At the moment he is playing the complete game

    Yes it it but this is new generation of Tennis and it's good for Tennis as we have some good playesr. i doubt Nadal would defence his French title agianst home biy Tsonga who is best and talented men at the moment.

    I can't wait for tomorrow nights final. Definetely the new generation, Rohit.

    I think Tsonga will win either, or get crushed. Should be great. Can't wait.

    I don't think so he will win as from my watching Tsonga is strong player and he has a good records in this Australian open. I would go with Tsonga.

    Yeh i agree Bry4ns. I think it will be a blow out in the final. 3 sets by either player. I really feel Tsonga can win. But Djokovic is heavy favourite for me.

    Djokovic won all matches on the tournament 3-0, including the semi-final against the best tennis player of all time. Bookmakers placed Djokovic being a favorite to win the title.

    It is the first final since the 2005 Australian Open not to figure either Federer or Nadal.

    That one saw Safin beat Hewitt. Hewitt was the third seed then, and Djokovic is seeded third in this event. But Tsonga isn't seeded fourth, like how Safin was.
