Its interesting time in sports ...(3)

Its quite interesting time in sports in general these days(contd):

7) Greece defeated star-studded lineup of USA in Basket Ball
Well well well...NBA stars lost out to Greece. Underlining the fact its players and not stars who matters.

8) No Nadal-Federer final in US Open
I am a bit saddened by it. Nadal and Federer have been treating viewers to the best tennis. Their match in Rome masters was the best I have seen in long time.
Its good to see Andy Roddick back in form and blasting his way. But I doubt if anyone has the arsenal to dislodge Federer unless he self destruct.

9) Paes flying Indian flag high as Sania sees reality of staying on top
Leander is in finals...yuppie. This guy gives us something to cheer about always when Indian sports is in doldrums. I hope he wins.

10) And the big one Andre Agassi retires after creating flutters in his final tournament..ADIOS
And its goodbye to Andre Agassi, the most revered tennis player of all time. He had a fan following that supersedes all his rivals put together.
The colorful personality that he has been and the resilence that he shown when he came back from 100 + ranking to win US Open witing one year in 1996 speaks volumes.
Tennis world will be poorer...Adios Agassi

11) Martina Novaratilova bids her final adieu to Tennis..I hope in style
And another retirement thats also bring an end to the greatest legend of all time...Martina Navaratilova. I can't believe she was my favourite in 80s..its been long time.
She finally hangs her boot at a young age of 50. And guess what she is in finals...again. I hope she wins and ends in style that a champion like her deserves.
