wake up call
Mahendra Singh Dhoni: What he said, really meant and definitely did not
What he said:
"We have not been sleeping so we don’t need a wake-up call."
Mahendra Singh Dhoni retains his sense of humour in responding to a question whether the 3-0 series scoreline is a wake-up call.
What he really meant:
“Actually, the boys are groggy from lack of sleep.IPL partying, West Indian discos and charity dinners kept them on their toes.”
What he definitely didn’t:
“Motion sickness? Oh, yes, we’re going through the motions and our fans are sick.”
Soderling hangs tough to oust Llodra,Federer capitulates to Monfils
It will be Robin Soderling versus Gael Monfils this Sunday at the Paris Masters but not before both protagonists overcame hiccups en route to the final.
The first semi featured Michael Llodra—on a hot streak—against Swede Soderling.
The initial set went with serve 6-6. And it was Llodra—playing with the foot pressed to the accelerator—who romped home 7-0 in the tie-break.
That served as a wake-up call to Soderling who started to find his feet in the second, hitting his returns nice and deep. But it was all bazookas and Llodra’s brilliance until 5-5.
Soderling broke Llodra to go up 6-5 and then served out the set to make it 1-1.
Scintillating tennis continued with Llodra negating an early break to come roaring back into the match in the third set.
