United NCAA Team Penn State Nittany Lions, Syracuse Orange	From sportsline.com: Quote: MELBOURNE, Australia -- Top-ranked Roger Federer's streak of 10 consecutive Grand Slam finals came to an abrupt end as No. 3 Novak Djokovic advanced to the Australian Open championship match with a 7-5, 6-3, 7-6 (7-5) victory Friday night. Federer, who had been seeking his third consecutive title here, didn't look like the same player who has won 13 majors. The emotional Djokovic had a lot to do with that, hitting 13 aces and 50 winners, largely avoiding the nerves that have occasionally troubled him. He now will face unseeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who beat No. 2 Rafael Nadal in the semifinals Thursday, in the final Sunday. AP NEWS The Associated Press News Service Copyright 2007-2008, The Associated Press, All Rights Reserved Wow...it's one thing for #1 to lose in 4 or 5 sets and it's another to lose in straight sets...and something completely different to have a streak of 10 straight Grand Slam finals appearances end by losing in straight sets.
