The wimbledon!! and the fiasco at Ipolis!!

For those die-hard F-1 fans..indianapolis was a disaster...i was initially plannin to go there to watch the race..since its really closeby and just a 3-4 hrs drive..and my friend too was plannin to come down for it...Thank god..i didnt go ..since it wud have been a waste of my time and most of all my money..my savings down the drain..Wat a pity jus 6 cars raced...and well narain karthikeyan came in 4th i think..with schumi taking the top honors at the podium...what a shame that he had to win his first race of the season..like this!! lets not even go there..i dont wanna talk abut it..period

the wimbledon is gettin interesting..i had some of my money on hardene....again..didnt work out this time..she crashed out...but the men's section is gettin interesting..phillipoussis...ousted...safin and federer most likely for a semi-final showdown..tim henman is also creeping in slowly..the brits wud love it if a brit takes the honors in the men's section...wat happened to kafelnikov? rusedski? where did these ppl go? am backin sharapova..and clijsters..the thing is this..clijsters doesnt have the motivation to get there..she doesnt seem to be the go getter kind...the era of the williams sisters..will that rise out of the ashes? wats wrong with them..they were dominating and making mincemeat outta everyone just a year back..suddenly where did all their tennis go??


Of course..none to beat the GREAT PETE!! and ofcourse..my BELOVED BECKER....Pistol Pete is something at wimbledon..its as if he was a completely different person on grass...the guy was amazing at wimbledon..no doubts abut that...

i still remember that final between becker and sampras..i was a die hard fan of becker's acrobatics on court..he was one of the players who used to serve an ace in the second serve..no wonder he was boom..boom becker...


i also remember the drop shots of agassi...he has u must admit..quite lost his touch now...he is one very talented player..who is racing against the clock..he needs to get a title under his belt..he is the underdog at the wimbledon this time...the battles between agassi and sampras were always very interesting to watch...and very entertaining too..

Graf, Seles, Navratilova..great players...i always used to enjoy watching steffi play..no one has a powerful forehand like hers..in the game..she also had a golden slam..4 grandslams..and the olympic gold in a single year...its a pity that martina hingis is not playing nemore..she was a very talented..potential player..she had good groundstrokes..and a good forehand..


I remember watchin steffi graf play monica seles..with a wide open mouth....the wimbledon is always the coveted trophy..is it because of the conventional royal heritage of England..or is it something else?? the US open is also comin soon at the Flushing meadows..lets c who takes the crown at wimbledon..ne surprises or is it gonna b the same???

Its sad he had to win like this, but not shameful. Dont blame Ferrari and Schumi for every bad thing tht happens in F1..For sure, it dint do US fans any good...
