Djokovic beat Tsonga in 4 sets to win the Australian Open 2008.
I guess once Djoko had disposed of Roger, he wasn't about to give
away the title without a fight!
Hope we see more of Tsonga in the future, he is an exciting player.
Reminded me a bit of Carlos coming up through all matches in 1997 as
a sort-of 'unknown' to meet Sampras in the final. Like Tsonga, Moya
lost the final, then went on to win the French Open & No.1 in the
world. Watch out Rafa, Tsonga is on the rise!
