Roger Federer of Switzerland has won the
Australian Open championship in Melbourne, his 10th career Grand Slam title.
The top seed and defending champion beat 10th
seeded Chilean challenger Fernando Gonzalez in Sunday's final in straight sets
(7-6, 6-4, 6-4) for his third Australian Open crown. Federer did not lose a
single set over the whole tournament and he is the only tennis player to do this
at the Australian Open since Ken Rosewald did it in 1972.
Federer is only the fifth man in tennis history
to win 10 major tournament titles.
The Swiss star did not lose a single set the
entire tournament. He is the first player to do so in 27 years (since Sweden's
Bjorn Borg at the 1980 French Open).
Tiger Woods won his 7th straight golf tournament
today (1-28-07) at Torrey Pines in San Diego California.
The top-ranked golfer had his torn anterior cruciate ligament repaired June
24, one week after winning the 2008 U.S. Open.
"I believe the stat is after six months, the ACL is 85 percent of full
strength and then over the next year and a half, it will gain its 100 percent
strength,'' Woods said Sept. 29 at a news conference for the Chevron World
Challenge at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, California. "So it's
basically a two-year process.''
