Federer makes it perfect FIVE.....!!!!!!


Roger Federer survived a ferocious onslaught from Rafael Nadal to win his fifth consecutive Wimbledon singles title on Sunday, finally taming the inspired Spaniard 7-6, 4-6, 7-6, 2-6, 6-2.The normally serene Swiss looked about to crack under the strain when Nadal twice had chances to break serve in the fifth set but rediscovered his magic just in time.After smashing the ball away on his second match point Federer collapsed emotionally on Centre Court knowing he had equalled the five titles in a row of Bjorn Borg.The Swede, who won from 1976 to 1980, watched with 14,000 other transfixed spectators as battle raged in the sunshine for three hours 45 minutes, the perfect end to a rain-hit tournament.Only Federer, who now has 11 Grand Slam titles at the age of 25, knows how close he came to losing what will go down as the best Wimbledon men's final for many years.Nadal seemed poised to become the first man since Borg in 1980 to win the French Open and Wimbledon back to back when he stormed the fourth set and had a rattled Federer down 15-40 on two consecutive service games in the decider.

Alonso does It Again!!!!....Ur Pick On The Monaco Grnd Prix...

Dream of every racer..Alonso's conquered it 1ce again..Yes he's shown his worth 1ce again by winning the Monaco Grand Prix for the 2nd consecutive time...strtin smooth wid a safe pole position..movin on to open up a credible gap of arnd 9 secs at a pt in game..n gatherin a superfab finish-this man has 1ce again showed his worth 2 d world..on a street circuit claimed 2 b 1 of d most difficult circuits 2 race on..dis guy has shown tht he truly does rule d roost!
The 78 lap race remained quite a display of sheer dominance by d fore-runners with none but 4 cars on d same lap as d race leader; others lagging by more than almost 2 mins! It was also a pleasure 2 see d perfection by d drivers with jus 4 cars failin 2 finish till d chequered flag...esp on a circuit knwn 2 crash out loadsa thm...
Louis Hamilton finished onto a close second..pushin harder thn eva 2 but failin 2 secure his 1st win...he now equals Alonso on his championship points..Massa secured d final podium posn...which puts his score rt behind alonso n hamilton...Kimi Raikonnen was a disappointed man wid 8th posn on his cards..gettin him only d final championship pt..
As 4 d teams...McLaren 1ce again made its mark while Ferrari yet again failed 2 secure a win...their last win on d track bein in 2001...
All in all it was a fine game of excellence..though most of the podium posn remainin unchaned...as was wel expected on d Monaco circuit...yet a sheer display of perfection by d drivers...
P.S.: Cheers 2 ALONSO!!!!!

FEDS beats NADAL



Roger Federer brought an end to Rafael Nadal's 81-match winning streak on clay on Sunday, beating the Spaniard 2-6, 6-2, 6-0 to win the final of the Hamburg Masters and give his French Open preparations the perfect boost.
The world number one, who had never before beaten the Spaniard on his favourite surface, looked to be in line for his usual humbling in the red dirt as Nadal punished his early mistakes in brutal style to take the first set with a couple of breaks.
Nadal had won 13 consecutive clay-court titles, including the last two French Opens, during a winning run dating back to April 2005. The last man to beat him had been the Russian Igor Andreev in the quarter-finals in Valencia that year.
Federer, who has never won the French Open, needs to take the Roland Garros title to become only the third man after American Don Budge and Australian Rod Laver to hold all four majors at the same time.
so finally Feds shows wat a class he is...come on Feds..
