Wimbledon Bans Vuvuzelas After World Cup Ruckus
WIMBLEDON, England — Quiet, please. Organizers are making sure there will be no racket from vuvuzelas at the Wimbledon tennis championships. The plastic horns which have provided a constant drone at the World Cup in South Africa will be banned from the Grand Slam tournament, which starts Monday at the All England Club. “Out of courtesy to the players and their fellow spectators, we make a point of asking spectators not to bring items which could either cause a distraction or interfere with the enjoyment of the occasion,” All England Club chief executive Ian Ritchie said in a statement Thursday. “Rattles, klaxons and vuvuzelas all fall into that category and they will not be allowed into the grounds. Our message is do not bring them in the first place.” In addition, organizers said World Cup games will not be broadcast on the big screens or scoreboards on the Wimbledon grounds. That has been Wimbledon’s policy with all World Cups and European Championships since 1998. “We fully appreciate that a number of our visitors will be interested in the football World Cup,” Ritchie said. “Equally, however, the tennis is our first priority.” Despite the measures, the World Cup will be sure to have an impact on Wimbledon. Many of the players are avid supporters of their national teams and will be asked about the soccer constantly during the two-week grass-court championships. In past years, the men’s final at Wimbledon has come on the same day as the World Cup final. This year, however, the soccer final will be played a week later than the July 4 tennis showpiece.

Roger Federer wins Wimbledon 2009, 15th Grand Slam record

admin — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0000

The Wimbledon 2009 men’s final was an epic battle, and Roger Federer almost lost it. In the end, he mustered enough grit to beat Andy Roddick after four agonizing hours and
claimed his sixth All England championship. More importantly, Federer broke Pete Sampras’ Grand Slam record and established a new one, fifteen titles.

The match was torture of fans of either player. Though I said in an earlier post that I was rooting for Andy, I ended up rooting for Roger Federer. And that’s where the agony was for me. Andy Roddick dominated the match. His shots were sharp, his serves booming. He mixed his shots and never gave Federer a chance to beak his game until that fateful final service game that ended his dream. Roddick won the first set and was leading 6-2 in the second set tie break only to have the Swiss champion claw his way back and snatch the set from him. The third set ended in a tie break as well as both players matched each other’s shots and determination. But it was the fifth set that was the most taxing, ending in a score of 16-14.

At several points in the final set I thought Andy Roddick would win. He seemed more in control with his booming serves, ground strokes and volleys. Roger, on the other hand, seemed nervous, missing easy shots that used to be routine for him. At some point in the final games of the match I turned the television off. I couldn’t handle it. I couldn’t bear to watch Roger lose another epic battle like last year. I only went back to watching it after I knew the result online.

Andy Roddick was visibly distraught. He gave it his all but still came up short. However, Andy Roddick should realize that he amazed millions of us all over the world with what he showed us today on Center Court. There will be other opportunities for him. And with his new-found game, he will definitely win another Grand Slam title soon.

Wimbledon men’s final 2009 video: Federer vs Roddick highlights

admin — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0000

The 2009 Wimbledon men’s singles final (video replay/highlights below) between Roger Federer and Andy Roddick is being talked about. More than twelve hours after the epic battle, many fans of both players just can’t believe what happened, how it all unfolded.

Roger Federer won the Wimbledon 2009 men’s title by beating Andy Roddick in a classic match described by many as probably the best in recent years. It has even surpassed the epic fight of last year when Rafael Nadal denied Federer a record-setting sixth straight Wimbledon title.

Many of us feel sorry for Andy Roddick. He gave everything to win his second Grand Slam but still came up short. In fact, he dominated the game, denying the Swiss champion a break until the decider. But the true champion that Roger is hung in there and kept his composure, and that proved to be what gave him the win. His perseverance and determination paid off. If only both could be given the title that’s what should have been done, because Roddick’s performance was well worthy of it.

There were times when I couldn’t watch the Wimbledon 2009 men’s final coverage. The tension was too much for me especially during the fifth set tie-break. I turned the set off several times and only returned after I knew the results from online live blogs. It’s a good thing video replays / highlights are available. For those of you who didn’t watch this classic battle. here are a few videos I found online.

Wimbledon finals 2009: Federer vs Roddick Wimbledon final

admin — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0000

Roger Federer vs Andy Roddick 2009 Wimbledon men’s singles final. Who would have thought this would be the match up for Wimbledon 2009. A month ago, everyone would have said a Nadal vs Federer match would be likely. Two weeks ago, Murray replaced Nadal on the predictions when the latter pulled out due to injury. But Roddick? Wasn’t he written off as early as last year in any Grand Slam final?

Roger Federer again demonstrated his mastery of the game against Tommy Haas in the semis. The fluidity of movement was back, and so was
the magic touch. The win at Roland Garros must have given him the confidence to play like this again, like the old master that he was before he started losing to Rafael Nadal last year. After the first set with Haas, where Roger won in a tie break, everybody knew it was only a matter of time before the Swiss tennis ace would formally reserve his place on Sunday’s Center Court match up.

In contrast, many weren’t sure about Andy Roddick. Not even after he beat come-backing former champion Leyton Hewitt in the quarters. Everybody was expecting a Murray win. However, with his new coach, improved ground strokes and volleys, new-found determination and stamina, Andy Roddick showed everyone that he should not be written in Grand Slams yet. He was 2-6 against the Briton in their match ups so far but he match Murray’s every point, every rally, every winner. He won the big points, and held his ground in the tie breaks. The British crowd was stunned as he beat their hope of a men’s singles crown last won by a Briton in 1936. Roddick was stunned as well, and as he took his bow he even seemed apologetic. But deep inside he knew his hard work has paid off.

Roger Federer wins Wimbledon 2009, 15th Grand Slam record
Wimbledon 2009 men’s final video replay / highlights

I have always been a Roger Federer. I cried when he cried and jumped for joy in his many triumphs. But if he loses on Sunday in the 2009 Wimbledon final I won’t feel bad. I may even cheer for Roddick during the game, for I know that he deserves to win another Grand Slam. And a Wimbledon title will more than make up for his disappointments in the past.
