Done it!!!!!

He has done it again, She has done it for the first time and They have created history!!!Here "He" is Roger Federer, "She" is Maria Sharapova and "They" are Greeks.

While defending champion Federer had to fight off stiff challenge from 2nd seed, Andy Roddick, Sharapova to my pleasant surprise simply blew Serena away. She very tactically exploited Serena's weak forehand and drew the American to submission. She, now becomes the second successive Russian to win a Grand Slam final after Anastasia Myskina in French Open. Czarinas have arrived!

Men's Final , in contrast was fought for every tooth and nail . Federer was completely shell-shocked by Roddick in first set. Second set virtually resembled a see-saw and eventually went Federer's way. Next two sets were also very evenly fought, but Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikandar, and Federer was Sikandar this time.

There is not much to really say about the Euro Finals. Completely lackluster. Greeks did what they know best. They simply choked Portuguese while sneaking yet another header. This victory means to them what 1983 Prudential Cup victory means to India.

It's party time for sport lunatics like me. Euro and Wimbledon has just completed and Tour De France has just started. Let's see whether Armstrong creates history or not. Asia Cricket Cup and Olympics are due to start. I would be sporty fun!!
