No no.1 & no.2 in Australian Open finals 2011

This year on Australian Open two most sensational victories had recorded.

Top two seeds are not on the final. May be this is not the hot news but the contender's of the both show the remarkable tennis to the millions of the viewers.

Djokovic wins over Federer:

Ever since Novak Djokovic landed in Perth just a few days after Christmas, he has pushed himself relentlessly. Not for him the two-week break in the Bahamas, or a pat on the back for the feats of 2010. Instead he trained, and trained, and trained, leaving himself hardly enough time for his hair to grow back after shaving it all off in an on-court bonding experiment as Davis Cup champions. He sprinted, he sweated, he worked, all in aid of making the transition from sometime threat and one-Slam man. He is already one of the best tennis players in the world. That's not enough. He wants to be the best.

And this evening, he proved that he can be. His demolition of Roger Federer in three sets in their Australian Open semifinal was nothing short of startling. It is not often that one sees Federer the great sweat, or look angry, or annoyed, or take a bathroom break. But he did all of those this evening as he fought in vain to stem the inspiration seeping from Djokovic's every pore.

Ferrer wins over Nadal:

In a sad end to Nadal's quest for his fourth consecutive major, the Spaniard injured his left hamstring in the second game of his quarterfinal against David Ferrer and went down 6-4, 6-2, 6-3.

Wax statue of Hrithik Roshan's unveiled at London's Tussauds

MUMBAI: Hrithik Roshan's wax statue was unveiled on Thursday at Madame Tussauds. Hrithik became the fifth Bollywood personality to be honoured at Tussauds. The others bollywood actors who have been honoured are: Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai and Salman Khan.

"I can't believe I'm here in Madame Tussauds unveiling a wax figure of myself. It's incredible just how detailed the figure is - they've really captured my look. I'm truly honoured to be included and hope my fans will like seeing the figure," Hrith
ik said in a statement.


The actor, who has hits like " Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai, "Dhoom:2", "Krrish" and " Jodhaa Akbar", among others, under his belt is the youngest male actor from India to be honoured by the prestigious Madame Tussauds wax museum.

Roshan was completely involved in the creation of the figure. He attended two sittings in Mumbai and London where sculptors captured a catalogue of reference photographs and hundreds of precise measurements. Hirthik also donated the red shirt and dark blue jeans his figure is wearing, a source said.

The figure took four months to make at a cost of 150,000 pounds and joins fellow Indian film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in the special Bollywood section of the museum.

'Greek God' look of Hrithik Roshan and the zing that Katrina Kaif brought in with “Sheila Ki Jawani” made them the most D's of the 2010 by the online voting carried out by the National Daily ‘Times of India’ and the channel ‘Zoom’ over 3.1 lakh votes were registered and India has decided to confer the tile of Most Desirable Man of 2010 to Hrithik Roshan and Most Desirable Woman of 2010 to Katrina Kaif.
