Federer loses in semi-final Australian Open 2008

I can't believe it. Federer lost to Djokovich in 3 sets. This ends the run of Federer in finals. He has been in the finals of grand slams for the last 10 times. Federer didn't look like the usual brilliant tennis player tonight. He looked nervous which meant he wasn't moving to the ball in the same way. He used too many slices to Djokovich and that doesn't work with this opponent.

And Nadal lost to Tsonga in 3 sets. So for the first time in a long time the seeded number 1 and 2 are not in the final.
It will be Djokovich (aged 20) vs Jo Tsonga (aged 22 with 2 years out of the game with injury) from France. I can't wait to see this final. Is there a turnover coming with the younger ones taking over the old aged 28s?
