Fedex is the champ..

Last one week has been pretty happening with Wimbledon going on.India-WI series was full of lacklustre all the time for two reasons-Indian team is not in best of form and Ten sports just cant broadcast it the way Espn/star sports does.Anyways,50 overs looks too long nowadays.So all focus was on tennis.Except two of the matches in final rounds,nothing was something really exceptional.Firstly,the one women's semifinal Dementieva and Serena and the other one,ofcourse men's final.Well,tennis is one of the sports which is highly followed around the world along with cricket and soccer.Other two being team games,makes it much different.I wonder what kind of concentration levels and mental toll it would take on des players,mostly just few years elder to me(and some younger).Its just amazing.Its one of those games where even before the tournament starts,there would be 1 or max 2 clear frontrunners for the championship and then there would be a whole bunch of guys who carry "can do it" tag.And every year,there comes a rising star,someone never heard of till last year, rising to glory and ends up being a tough opponent.The women's title was once again {unfortunately) dominated by william sis.They made around 2 million pounds in just prize money in this tournament.I wonder kam se kam 30-40 million pounds banaya hoga in sisters ne...Safina's match against Venus was a sheer disappointment..but Dementieva's loss was quite unfortunate,she succeeded in dominating thruout the match but just losing it at the last moment.Well,it happens so often in tennis,"so close yet so far".So was Roddick today..i dont mean to take away any credit from Fed(And i mean Federrer,not Bernanke's Fed,they dont have much credit to their side looking at this recession).Beyond any doubt,He is the Champ of all times,it takes real talent to outperform evryone 15 times but yaar,Nadal wasnt playing,so finally des "can do it" guys got a chance to prove their mettle and this guy Roddick did everything right and still ended up being on the runner's up end.I am touch disappointed probably for the first time for Fed winning the title.Lets hope this "can do it" gang gets another chance in time to come and rattle away the domination by fed-nadal and william sisters.May be next time,Roddick's aces will do it..For the time being,Congo for Fed's success..
