ROGER THAT MR FEDERER.......YOU ARE ONE OF THE GREATEST !!


At last he has done it. Finally the long standing debate has been put to rest. Roger Federer has conquered the Parisian red clay in his inimitable style, a straight set victory over Sweden's Robin Soderling.




14 Grand Slam titles along side the great Pete Sampras and only the sixth player in the history to have won all the four grand slam events. Now that's quite an enviable record, isn't it ??



I have been an ardent fan of Roger from the very beginning and I am mighty pleased and relieved that after mounting numerous challenges, finally he has won the title which has eluded him for so long.



VIVA ROGER !! YOU ARE INDEED A TRUE CHAMPION AND A GREAT AMBASSADOR OF THIS FABULOUS SPORT.



WIMBLEDON IS WAITING!!

PAES THE PARISIAN !!


I don't think after yesterday's gritty, comeback from behind win in the Men's Doubles finals at Roland Garros, the people of Paris would mind Leander and his partner Lukas Dlouhy calling themselves natives of the city which has given them their maiden Grand Slam title as a team.



It was a superb match with the Indo - Czech pair on top of their game, displaying vintage tennis. Leander was absolutely pumped-up and it was quite a sight to behold. I don't think there's a better player than him at the net today . Both, he and Dlouhy combined beautifully to keep the big serving duo of Wesley Moodie of South Africa and Dick Norman of Belgium at bay and eventually drubbing them style to lift the title.





Yours truly simply loved this match. "Paisa vasool" as we call it up north, in this part of the world.
