Serena Williams has successfully defended her Wimbledon title beating Russian Vera Zvonareva 6-3 6-2 in a one-sided ladies singles final at the All England Club in London.
The victory is Williams’ fourth Wimbledon singles title and her 13th overall in Grand Slams.
Three-time champions Germany marched into the semifinals of the World Cup after destroying Diego Maradona’s highly-rated Argentina side 4-0 on Saturday in a rematch of the 1986 and 1990 title matches.
Veteran striker Miroslav Klose celebrated his 100th international appearance with two goals in Cape Town, taking him level second in the tournament’s all-time scoring list alongside compatriot Gerd Muller on 14.
Thomas Muller, one of the finds of the month-long football showpiece, headed the opening goal inside the third minute, his fourth of the South African tournament, while Arne Friedrich bundled home his first in 76 internationals to make it 3-0.
Maradona told reporters after the match that he was unsure about his future with Argentina, who also lost to Germany at the same stage in a penalty shootout in 2006.
Six-time champion Roger Federer has failed to make the title match at Wimbledon for the first time since 2002 after being dumped out in the quarterfinals on Wednesday.
Federer’s title defense came crashing to a halt in the face of an inspired performance from Tomas Berdych in London.
The Swiss star was knocked out at the last-eight stage of a tennis grand slam event for second successive time following his similar exit at the French Open a month ago.
Czech 12th seed Berdych triumphed 6-4 3-6 6-1 6-4 in front of a stunned crowd on Centre Court to set up a semifinal clash with No. 3 Novak Djokovic.
Bayern Munich clinched the Bundesliga title for a record 22nd time thanks to a 3-1 away win over relegated Hertha Berlin on the final day of the German season.
Victory for the Bavarian giants — who led the top division by three points from rivals Schalke going into the game — came thanks to a 20th-minute opener from Ivica Olic and a second-half brace from star performer Arjen Robben.
The Dutchman’s double, scored at 74 and 87 minutes, put Louis Van Gaal’s men into an unassailable lead in the Olympic Stadion after Gustavo Ramos had leveled for the home side with thirty minutes left of the game.
The defeat of Hertha, which consigned the side from the capital to relegation, continues Bayern’s pursuit of an unprecedented treble for a German side.
And with that in mind I think he’ll win Sunday to make The Masters this year the most extraordinary sporting event ever.
I love my race horses, and I liken the world number one to a thoroughbred when it comes to competing in major championships. He is to golf what Phar Lap was to racing.Ever since he set records in 1997 (just a year after he turned pro) for not only the biggest winning margin in Masters history (12 strokes) and the youngest winner ever at age 21, he has been consumed by winning the big titles.
Once he receives the overwhelming support of the Augusta crowd as he heads to the first tee – and it will be the most hair-raising welcome to a sportsman in history – he will be inspired to want this title more than anything.
We will see his first shot telecast around the world but after that, as per Augusta National’s rules, the live broadcast will revert back to action.
An absurd decision on the club’s behalf in the face of the most eagerly anticipated comeback in sporting history. It’s his second shot I will be watching a lot more closely to see if he can keep his emotions in check with so much support as he walks the first fairway. I will be on course and following it all the way.
Here’s some more to think about in the debate over his potential to win: Four green jackets (two behind Jack Nicklaus); the lowest tournament score record in every major; three times a winner of every major alongside Jack, and just four behind the Golden Bears grand total of 18.
All by the age of 34, with knee injuries and a private life meltdown.
He has exorcised many demons in the past few months and his mind will be a lot freer when he heads to the tee on Thursday. I believe just as free as it was when he first teed up in The Masters as a pro in ’97 before the rot set in.
And if you think Tiger might be a little rusty heading into this event, cast your mind back to 2008.
Doctors told him to rest for six weeks and not compete in the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. He went ahead anyway and competed over five days, eventually winning in a 19-hole play-off on one leg over Rocco Mediate on the Monday.
He was then forced to take eight months off after surgery. It was the greatest example of a golfer pushing through the pain barrier.
He might not have played a competitive round of golf for more than five months but he is physically fit and his ability to put mind over matter is astonishing. I have lost count the amount of times he has won playing “ugly” golf.
And I have watched numerous documentaries on Tiger where during interviews he has described how he just loves the pressure of being the man everyone wants to beat.
He says he wants to be the player under the most pressure, it’s what drives him. Cue this year’s Masters and it’s made for him.
Tiger is really only in control inside the ropes. I spoke with Butch Harmon about the subject not long ago and Butch knows a thing or two about Tiger.
He described how Tiger flicks the switch as he heads to the first tee and nothing else matters, not even a meltdown in his personal life will stand in the way of his desire to win a major.
Just look at how quickly he has returned from his February 19 statement of “I will return to golf someday, I just don’t know what day that will be.”
He always knew he was coming back for The Masters. Who was he trying to kid?
