Without doubt, this Sunday was a sports mega bonanza with as many as 5 different sports being broad casted on television. And in all of them, players with class prevailed. Now I am not telling I am against guys with passion but I am always up for genius rather than playing for winning alone. For those who know me better, I am always for class in life: A Nokia N series phone, a HP DV9000 laptop, a Sony Bluetooth headset, Pioneer speakers, Bose headphones and when I get a car it will be a Mercedes or a Ferrari eventually! High standards? Class, people, class..
Without doubt the biggest winner last night was Roger Federer who got his grand slam championship (Finally!) and equaled Pete Sampras with the total number of grand slams (14) and for everyone who says it was only because Nadal wasn't there: He didn't even make it to the finals! 6-1, 7-6, 6-4 will be recorded in history for those 6 numbers brought a great player 1 step closer to being the greatest yet.. For the record, Soderling proved himself victorious against players who depend on routine, ie, the same style of play with devastating accuracy but Federer was all art with him back flicks which won him the title!
Speaking of class, Jacques Kallis and Abraham de Villiers personify class and they proved it in their match against the minnows Scotland last night. The ICC T-20 world cup has begun in full flow and its a treat to watch after the stupidity displayed by the same commentors during the IPL!
Then there was Formula 1- The Turkish GP- which was "buttoned" up by Jenson for Brawn GP. Winning 6 of the 7 races so far and missing only 4 of the max possible 65 points so far, he looks set to claim a maiden driver's championship this season- Oh and Lewis Hamilton is rotting in the back :)
