It is slightly strange seeing Nadal getting worked the way Djokovic worked him at Wimbledon on Sunday night. I didn’t watch the entire match, but it seemed like Djokovic played stronger, more aggressive, had greater stamina, and made less mistakes. He slowly wore down the will of his opponent, and pounded his opponent into eventual [...]

Interesting Sports Weekend
Monday, 4 July, 2011
Interesting sports weekend. Even though I said this is supposed to be a lull period in sports, it turned out to be a rather exciting sports weekend. Firstly, loudmouth David Haye got dominated by Wladimir Klitschko. He can certainly talk the talk, but it is obvious that he has got no game to back it [...]
Federer
Monday, 6 June, 2011
Not to take anything away from Nadal, I thought he totally deserved his 6th French Open title. But being the adorer of Federer that I am, I would like to spin yesterday’s final in 3 ways, just to make myself feel better. =) i) Federer did well to beat Novak “greatest-player-in-the-world-right-now” Djokovic in 4 sets [...]
Go Fed!!!
Saturday, 4 June, 2011
This has been a great start to the sporting weekend thus far. Firstly, Mavs come from 15 points down midway through the 4th quarter to beat the Heat in Game 2. Dirk is just playing out of his mind! Some of his moves were just sick. (But then, he’s been doing that throughout the playoffs [...]
“WikiLeaks” Moment At Aussie Open
Saturday, 22 January, 2011
Let me just say one thing: Todd Woodbridge got owned big time! Good that Kim Clijsters has such a great sense of humour about things. She’s amazing.
Nadal, Invincible
Friday, 17 September, 2010
I guess the biggest story of the US Open has to be the incredibly terrifying form of Rafael Nadal. With a little change of grip, he has suddenly improved his serve to an astonishing 130mph+…a good 10mph more than before. In his first four matches, he did not lose a single service game. Before the [...]
Interesting Sports Weekend
Monday, 13 September, 2010
Let’s see, it started off with Man Utd yielding two goals (and thus, the lead) to Everton in stoppage time, which was a classic moment, cos you seldom see this brain-fade kind of stuff happening to them. It’s usually their opponents who are at the receiving end of this kind of thing, so it was [...]
Go Fed
Wednesday, 2 June, 2010
The most disappointing piece of sports news in recent memory is that Federer is now out of the French Open. He lost in the quarters to Robin Soderling yesterday. The streak of 23 consecutive Grand Slam semifinal appearances, perhaps one of the greatest streaks in all of sports, is now officially over. Ah well, I [...]
Fed Da Man!
Sunday, 31 January, 2010
So many things to blog about this weekend, where to start? Well, nothing pleased me more this weekend than seeing Roger Federer win the Aussie Open. Murray was never going to seriously rattle the great Roger, in my opinion. Fed’s playing with absolutely no pressure, now that he’s passed Sampras for career Grand Slams. Which [...]
Two Recent Sports Comparisons
Thursday, 28 January, 2010
1) Rafael Nadal ~ Allen Iverson You could say their playing styles are quite similar, in that they tend to fling their bodies around and put tremendous strain on their physical conditioning. You knew that their careers (or at least their ability to play at an elite level) were always going to be short-lived, simply [...]
