Tsonga on song....

"Tsonga Tsunami" - every other australian news daily carried a similar headline. Wow, take a bow at this man.

If any of you happened to watch his semi-final clash with Rafaa, you would realise why Jim Courier at the end of the match stepped aside to welcome the rising star compering- "Ladies and Gentleman, a new star is born at Melbourne Park - Jo Wilfried Tsonga". Watta sublime show of tennis !

Nicknamed "Ali" for his physical resemblance to the boxing great "Muhammad Ali", he made the 15,000 + crowd to chant "Tsonga Tsonga". Such was his display of powerful tennis, that the worlds No.2, considered the most athletic on tennis court, Rafaa was rattled from Game 1.

Comparisons are inevitable and the Oz media religiously followed the protocol. And these words should be a clear indicator of the new frenchman in tennis world.

"Pistol Pete returned to Centre Court"

"Float like a butterfly, sting like a 'bee' "

"Ali conquered Mr.Clay"

After witnessing this incredible match, I am just praying for the clash of "god" with Ali. Hope, Federer crushes Djokovic in semis and sets up the grand finale.

One more wonderful sportive weekend up for grabs. Happy watching!
