Since the beginning of this season, I’ve heard people saying things like Roger Federer is done, he’s washed up and all sorts of things. Now I guess I can slightly understand because he hasn’t been winning as much as he has in the past but he is still rightfully the number 1 player in the world. He is now just slightly better than everyone instead of being light years ahead.
Anyway, an awesome new Nike advert of him. Check it out.
Venus and Serena Williams will face off the Womens Wimbledon final tomorrow. Despite Venus usually dominating this tournament, she has played Serena twice in the finals and lost both times.
With the top 4 seeds of the tournament being eliminated early on in this tournament, it was a pretty easy path for both of the sisters to reach the finals. Neither of them lost a set en route to the finals.
Don’t expect for these loving sisters to go easy on each other. They both want to win and I imagine Venus probably wants it a little more since shes getting older, at 28 is old in tennis years.
Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal will meet in the Finals for Wimbledon for the third straight year and for the sixth time in their careers.
Roger Federer has been pretty flawless in his run to the finals as he usually is at Wimbledon. He hasn’t dropped a set all tournament and in his semifinal matchup against Marat Safin he didn’t lose one lose one serve in his 6-3, 7-6 (3), 6-4 win. That was his 40th straight win at Wimbledon. Pretty good streak.
Rafael Nadal is trying to become the first man since Bjorn Borg in 1980 to win both the French and Wimbledon. He tried to do the same thing in ‘06 and ‘07 and was stopped by Federer both times. Nadal beat Rainer Schuettler 6-1, 7-6 (3) 6-4 to make it to the finals.
Nadal looks more dangerous than he ever has on grass but just like he dominates the French Open year in and year out, Roger Federer owns Wimbledon. My pick is Federer in this one even though it should be a pretty exciting matchup like last years final.
Joey Chestnut from America won the world hot dog eating title today for his second straight title. He beat Japan’s Takeru Kobayashi in the process in a clutch performance that was comparable to Michael Jordan.
Kobayashi was the reigning champion from 2001-2006 officially making him a hot dog eating dynasty but all dynasty’s must come to and end which it did last year when Chestnut beat him. In this years contest, they were tied at 60 hot dogs after the 10 minute regulation time and so that had to go to a five hot dog eat off.
Chestnut came through with a clutch performance though to take the title. Congrats. You’re allowed to go throw up now.
Without Tiger Woods, the popularity of Golf will probably diminish over the coming months so what could possibly spur some interest in golf to the common man. Thats right, hot girls playing it. It’s been a long time since golf was this hot.
Here are some pics from over the weekend of Jessica Alba and Kristin Cavallari playing some good ol golf. Maybe golf isn’t so bad afterall.
Here are some pics of David Beckham riding around in his new Rolls Royce Drophead in Beverly Hills. Man his life looks like it sucks. I would never want to be him. I mean he is spending $400,000 on cars that only get 11 miles per gallon. I mean the gas prices must be killing him. What a horrible life.
Here is a video of 5 year year old boxing prodigy they call Bam Bam from Ohio. This kids boxing skills are remarkable. He is fast, he hits hard and he is incredibly agile for a young buck. People are calling him the next Mike Tyson, he very well might be and if thats the case he will probably have a match with Evander Holyfield who we all know will still be boxing then.
Now I would say that this kid is has the potential to be a bully when he gets older if it wasn’t for that ponytail. Don’t make fun of him for it or he’ll knock you out.
So if it wasn’t bad enough that Maria Sharapova got beat by the relatively unknown 154th ranked Russian Alla Kudryavtseva (how the hell do you pronounce that?), but after the match during an interview the Russian sounded off on her feeling about Maria Sharapova’s threads:
“I don’t like her outfit,” Kudryavtseva said. “It was one of the motivations to beat her.”
Never heard of anyones clothes being motivation to beat them but I guess anythings possible. I can’t blame her though because the shorts were hideous and didn’t do anything to make Maria look even slightly like a female. As long as we’re on that note though, judging by how Kudryavtseva looks though, her face should’ve been motivation for Sharapova to beat her ass.
During the semifinal matchup of Euro 2008 between the Germany and Turkey there was a crazy collision between two players from the opposing teams. They collided heads and were both bloodied up. The German play had to leave the game to get the stitches but the Turkish player showed that not all players are soft. Just a select few.
John Daly is golf’s closest thing to a bad boy and he showed why people looked at him that way at the Buick Open pro-am in Grand Blanc, Michigan.
Accompanied by Kid Rock sporting one of the most hideous outfits you’ll ever see, John Daly was challenged to hit a golf ball from on top of Kid Rocks beer can. It was actually a good shot too.
That fan that yelled for him to shotgun it was right and I’m really surprised that he didn’t actually. Maybe John Daly is changing for the better. I know I would’ve done it though.
