Naveen’s Journal

Yet again we’v entered a new week, carrying forward in our minds the heavenly feeling one gets after spending two days without being under any kind of deadline pressure and enjoying the weekend fiesta that the last two days were! More so for sporty studs like me - witnessing the best of tennis, cricket and F1 in a difference of 24 hours - what more can one ask for!
To start with, the women’s final of the Championships on saturday was arguably the most thrilling tennis encounter one could have seen for a long time. Even the patrons of the game would vouch for it. We all love to hate her, but the strength of character and stunning display of power and commitment which Venus Williams showed against Davenport, sent a chill down the spectators’ spine. Rising like the proverbial phoenix from the ashes, she for sure gave a display that would be indelibly imprinted on the viewer’s minds, perhaps never to be obliterated.
On the male front, what can one say about FedEx. Roddick’s power game on saturday gave a hope that the swiss’ 35 match unbeaten streak on grass could be under serious threat, but he too bit the dust in front of Roger’s superlative game, giving him his third straight Wimbledon.
Last but not the least, how many ODI finals have been a TIE! One was, on saturday in a nail biting finish between England and Australia.
OOPS…How could i forget to talk about our Indian weekend in sports! Who else but Narain Karthikeyan. Not a bad race for him as he managed to finish it at least, Alonso running away with yet another title. Perhaps time for Ferrari to do some serious thinking (for next year that is )
Codes calling again…gotta sign off
