ROGER THAT!!!

Roger Federer is now the seven-time Wimbledon champion and back to No. 1 in the world beating Andy Murray 6-4 5-7 3-6 4-6 !!!

"Andy will at least win one Grand Slam. I think I played some of my best tennis in the last couple of matches. I've missed playing in the finals, and it feels like a great moment. I've gone through some struggles, so this one comes at the right time."
                                                   - Roger.

Lots of tears now. "Congratulations Roger - you deserve it. Thanks to everyone who supported me - you did a great job." He looks around at the crowd. "And last of all to you guys. Everybody always talks about the pressure of playing at Wimbledon, but it's not the people watching - they make it incredible."

                                      - Murry

Sourav Ganguly joins 40's club: HAPPY B'DAY DADA!!

HAPPY B'DAY SAURAV

Some felt he couldn't play the bouncer, others swore that he was God on the off-side; some laughed at his lack of athleticism, others took immense pride in his ability to galvanise a side. Sourav Ganguly's ability to polarise opinion led to one of the most fascinating dramas in Indian cricket. Yet, nobody can dispute that he was India's most successful Test captain - forging a winning unit from a bunch of talented, but directionless, individuals - and nobody can argue about him being one of the greatest one-day batsmen of all time. Despite being a batsman who combined grace with surgical precision in his strokeplay, his career had spluttered to a standstill before being resurrected by a scintillating hundred on debut at Lord's in 1996. Later that year, he was promoted to the top of the order in ODIs and, along with Sachin Tendulkar, formed one of the most destructive opening pairs in history.

WISHING THIS GREAT MAN A BLASTING B'DAY....

BLESS HIM WITH YOUR WISHES
