Novak Djokovic: What he said, really meant and definitely did not
What he said:
"She is a really, really nice girl. She’s a great entertainer. No. 1. You never heard about her?"
Novak Djokovic teases Caroline Wozniacki in reply to her question as to who was his favourite women’s player on tour. The Dane gate-crashed the Serb’s press conference on Saturday, the 18th of June 2011, surprising the No. 2 seed, journalists and red-faced ushers.
What he really meant:
“Ms. Caroline is indeed sweet.”
What he definitely didn’t:
“You have an identical twin?”
Greg Rusedski: What he said, really meant and definitely did not
What he said:
"You are talking a 0.5% improvement."
Greg Rusedski is confident that Andy Murray has the ability to win Wimbledon.
What he really meant:
“It’s the small things that matter.”
What he definitely didn’t:
“0.5% will take 99.5% of his time and effort.”Roger Federer versus Rafael Nadal, Interloper Novak Djokovic
Just one Grand Slam final in over two years between the giants that straddle the men’s circuit. Yet fans and critics alike are terming it a revival of the Fedal rivalry.
Is it, really?
It cannot be much of a competition if the duo have faced off just once in the last eight Slams.
The US Open 2010: The Ladies Fab Four
All good things must finally come to an end and so must this year’s US Open.
But before the tennis concludes , there’s just enough time for the artistes to hit the high notes and close the Flushing Meadows symphony on a crescendo.
The final three days will bring fans more mouth-watering, lip-smacking , engrossing wizardry, not to mention coquetry.

Wimbledon 2010: Post-mortem
Cometh the hour, cometh the man! Or woman!
And may it never be said that Serena and Rafael don’t know how to party!
They came to the Wimbledon party and how!
Nadal, as though his year-long hiatus from the sport was a mere blip in the chasm of tennis time!
And Serena, who perhaps believes that it’s now time to just buckle down to it and claim her space in among the greats! Not that she does not belong there already but who’s to say that she might not have been the greatest?

Wimbledon Finals: A Preview
So, it’s final!
The last men and women standing at Wimbledon are Serena & Vera, Tomas & Rafael.
11 days of tennis and the draw has whittled down to these 4 contenders for the throne at the green lawns at SW18.
Could it have gotten any better than this?
Of course, we will miss Federer and his balletic grace on the tennis court. We have grown so used to having his majestic presence adorn Wimbledon that his absence seems like blasphemy. But if it is blasphemy, then what do we make of the stronger, fitter and wiser Nadal whose game, presence and speed makes us forget , at least for a while, that Federer was God?

Quote of the day: |
Kings Of Wimbledon!
Wimbledon is about tradition, guts and glory and strawberries and cream! It’s also about the unpredictable English weather. It’s also about great champions who have weathered all odds to be crowned king after 2 weeks of spilling their guts out on the lawns of Wimbledon.
This show is dedicated to all the men singles champions starting with Bjorn Borg and ending with Federer. A tribute to the grass warriors!

Nadal , The Ferocious!
There’s nothing more dangerous than a wounded or cornered tiger and Nadal was a wounded tiger who had been licking his wounds ever since he was diagnosed with acute tendinitis in his knees in 2009. After being out for the most part of 2009 and unable to defend his 2008 Wimbledon crown, Nadal decided that it was time to ration out his appearances in the clay court season this time around. A little bit of rest and recuperation for his much abused knees could do no harm!
