I guess this week was blessed one....
haven't seen Brazilians play with such flair and abundance in a long time...
Argentines looked like a second grade team for some time there....
I think Ronaldinho has been a quiet, unassuming and above all noncontroversial influence on world football in last few years...and this tournament establishes him as leader of his troops as well
then there was women's tennis in wimbledon...where after many years...Tennis took centrestage instead of glamour...
the grunts for the first time were a bearable accessory to tennis as they really accompanied some awesome accurate hitting as well... then there was our Asian tennis (sensation) player Sania doing her thing... I guess her passing first round qualifies as achievement in Indian women's tennis these days...
for the first time Venus Williams didn't look like a tall helpless bird trying to find right trajectory.... against Sharapova she looked like monk in meditation, unleashing those ruthlessly accurate winners.... from the second game onwards it looked like Sharapova was up against something that was beyond tennis....
and in all these big names.. I happened to see some games ( before the power cuts and star sports combined to give this match a miss halfway down) of the match between Serena Williams and Angela Haynes...this young girl looks like someone from those hip hop dance videos.. with no fear at all of ranking and power of the opponent's shots.... she was not only trading punch for punch with Serena but at times looked like really going one up on her...
Men's Tennis, I guess in all this women's tennis thing I have hardly any recollection of men's version, as Federrer express seems to be heading to his final destination and with usual suspects of Hewitt and Roddick lined up to derail it....
