Djokovic Over Federer in Epic U.S. Open Comeback: Novak Djovokic fell down by two sets to Roger Federer in the U.S. Open semifinals Saturday but came back to win 6-7, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 7-5. Down 5-3 in the final set, Djokovic survived two match points and won over a loud pro-Federer crowd, then celebrated with a post-match victory dance.
I was pulling for Federer to win the US Open, simply because it would throw the entire order of men's tennis into disarray. The neat order of things (Djokovic, Nadal, Federer) would be in question, and make 2012 very interesting.

Great match. I always root for Federer even though Djokovic makes a much more entertaining champion. I love his impressions.
