The French Open this year is throwin' up a lot of surprises. First the Joker crashed out, then the undisputed king of clay Rafael Nadal. Then another Serb Jelena Jankovic joined a host of big names already eliminated at the red clay in Paris.
Roger federer managed to ward off a very resilient Tommy Hass, who is extremely under rated but a brilliant player. Most people fail to recognise that he was a world number one when the likes of Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, PAt RAfter were in the twilight of their respective careers.
Chelsea have yet another boss at the helm, Carlo Ancelotti of Milan. CArlo may look to bring in the mercurial talent of Kaka and Andrea Pirlo to the bridge.
The T20 world cup is just around the corner. Many of my friends are tipping India to go all the way, but I am sorry to say I disagree. I feel India have too many spinning options and spinners dont normally extract purchase from the wickets in the Old Blighty. Being an avid follower of the game, my gut tells me that it is going to be an Australia England final, which will be an ideal prelude to the Ashes series in my opinion. James Anderson is my current pick for bowler of the tournament and David Hussey my batsman of the tournament. Watch out for Sri Lanka as a potential dark horse for the title.
On a personal note, I am saddened by Middlesbrough FC being relegated. However, they have illustrious company in Coca Cola Championship in the form of cash rich(now threatened) Newcastle United. Being a Boro' loyalist, i expect them to gain promotion immediately(brilliant youth system) and for the next season my allegiancies are tied to West Ham United. Come on you Hammers!
BTW, I have heard a lot about Angels and Demons..Plan to watch it soon.
Tada!
