• 16 Grand Slam titles for Federer!

 by Stanley, January 31, 2010

Marvellous! Roger Federer wins another Grand Slam title and that makes him two more titles clear of Sampras’s record of 14.

It felt like only yesterday when my wife (then girlfriend) and I were watching him on TV playing his Wimbledon 2003 semi-finals against Roddick. That match was an eye-opener for me. Federer schooled Roddick good in that match. I remember saying to myself how could anyone do such damage to Roddick. And to dish it out so easily. Federer then went on to win Wimbledon 2003, his first of many grand slam wins to come.

If you’re wondering where you can download high-definition tennis matches, go to t3nnis.tv. It’s a torrent site dedicated to tennis. That’s where I get my 720p hi-def tennis matches.

Well, not exactly the top of the range I admit, but pretty high up on the technology [...]

• Protect your skin

 January 23, 2010
Tennis is an outdoor sport. I used to play tennis every alternate evening, under the hot sun for about an hour or two. I always use sunscreen while playing tennis because the evening sun can still be very hot and damaging to the skin even at 6pm. I’ve met people who enjoyed outdoor sports but [...]

• Go Federer

 January 21, 2010
The Australian Open Tennis Grand Slam event is well under way. As always, I’m rooting for Federer. It would be absolutely sublime is he can add one or two more grand slam to his record setting 15 slams already achieved. But looming around is the dangerous Nadal, the only man who threatens Federer’s dominance. If [...]
