In the French Open semifinals, Roger Federer ended Novak Djokovic's 41-match win streak to begin the 2011 season.
Just a week or so later, USC NCAA singles champion Steve Johnson saw his winning streak cap at 39 when he lost a three set final to Daniel Kosakowski in the final of the Sacramento Futures tournament. Understandably, Johnson is exhausted, but he will still feature on the pro circuit this summer at the U.S. Open and likely the Farmers Classic in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, national title hero Daniel Nguyen and teammate Michael Grant posted a picture of their practice session in Barcelona, Spain.

Considering he beat Kosakowski in all four previous meetings this year, I choose to believe that Steve helped nudge Kosa to go pro, thereby reducing UCLA's chances to be a national title contender and potential four-peat threat next year. Or....maybe he was just tired. :-)
Thank you. I learned a lot from your article.
Eventhough this was only a four set game it was definitely one of the grand games in history. better than the federer-nadal final. agree?
