Serbia beat France

BELGRADE, SERBIA - DECEMBER 05: Bogdan Obradovic, Nenad Zimonjic, Novak Djokovic, Janko Tipsarevic and Viktor Troicki of Serbia celebrate with the trophy after defeating France during day three of the Davis Cup Tennis Final at the Begrade Arena on December 5, 2010 in Belgrade, Serbia.

Serbia beat France to win the biggest event in tennis - unless you're an American in which case Serbia won some meaningless Euro-centric thing which no one cares about. Whichever.

It was a huge effort by the Serbian team of Novak Djokovic, Janko Tipsarevic, Viktor Troicki and Nenad Zimonjic with Troicki stepping up to win the deciding rubber against Llodra in Tipsarevic's place. They then celebrated by shaving their heads like all serious sports nuts should. Great effort guys.

Pete Sampras lost all the tennis trophies that he won but didn't like enough to keep in his house where he could see them, all his memorable ones are still safe. Only one Major trophy was lost - the 1994 Australian Open - what was wrong with that one, we wonder?

Presumedly they'll turn up as they are a little too unique to be sold by the thief.

Federer king of the world again

Roger Federer
Roger Federer demonstrated that it matters not how many Majors you win in a year as long as you beat your nemesis in the final tournament. We'll give him a pass then. Still it was nice of Nadal to show up and win a few matches at least. So Fed's the man until we do it all again in January.

Murray was the big disappointment of course and will continue to be right up until he wins something and then we will all dance about in congratulations, tweeting that we knew all along. Some of us may even learn to whistle.

Next up is France versus Serbia which every analyst and their dog is saying will be an easy win for Serbia. Of course this depends which Janko Tipsarevic turns up. In other words France could do something here.

Video: Caroline Wozniacki wins!
