Sports : life magnified

After a bit of pondering, I have decided to persist with the blog to give my perspectives on the world of sport. What I feel on whats happening, whats not happening, what should happen, what should not happen… you get the picture.

So you wont get the news about the Tour de France starting on the blog. Neither will you get news that Australia and England played one of the most memorable ties in one day cricket history.

What you will get though is thoughts on specific matches, events, players, situations. As I said - perspectives.

On a side note, I am looking for people with sports related blogs who would like me to add a link to their blogs on my front page and could add Sportolysis on their main page as well.

Feel free to contact me on pratyushkhaitan @ gmail . com for queries.

Wimbledon has been witness to so many nostalgic moments. Some which I have witnessed over the last almost a decade and a half I have followed the sport (title moments)

Sampras winning his final WImbledon with tears in his eyes and the light fading
Ivanisevic finally coming out 3rd time lucky
Agassi’s wimledon triumph
Federer winning the title for the first time

Add to this list the win of Venus Williams, 9-7 in the final set against Davenport. Now Davenport winning would be nostalgic too considering no one though she could win it, 5 and half years after winning here in 1999, despite being No. 1, in probably her last attempt.

Venus Williams winning is sweeter though for me than a win for Davenport would have been. Williams has had a rough road the last couple of years and it was time for redemption for the now 3 time Wimbledon Champion.

She is quite simply the best womens grass court player I have seen ahead of Graf.

Here is hoping she comes back for more and has some memorable battles with a more experienced Sharapova in the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
