Roger Federer is a perfect 10...
My friend Henry predicted this result. Roger Federer captured his 10th Grand Slam singles title without dropping a set, finishing a dominating run through the Australian Open by beating Fernando Gonzalez of Chile 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4 in Sunday's final. Before the tournament began. I thought American Andy Roddick had the edge since he seemed hungry and maybe Federer was due to lose.
WRONG!
Federer improved his winning streak to a career-best 36 matches, became the first man in the Open era to twice win three straight majors and has won six of the last seven Grand Slam titles -- his only loss was in the French Open final to Rafael Nadal. It also was the first time that a champion went through a major without dropping a set since the 1980 French Open, when Bjorn Borg did it. The 25-year-old Federer now is within four of Pete Sampras' record 14 Grand Slam titles.
Congratulations to Roger Federer!!!

Hey Greg I predicted Roger's win too.
Did you watch Serena Williams destruction of Maria Sharapova in the womens final? She's only two behind Roger with 8 majors now!
Yes! I did watch Serena whip Sharapova. I posted about it Friday night, check it out. I think Serena is the best player of her generation and will add at least 3-4 more slams to her resume if she stays healthy. I am so happy for her.
