Oh boy is she really good? Yes sure she is - the aging 33 years old Americana and world number 1 Serena Williams has yet a lot of youth left in her and she proved it by winning her 19th Grand Slam and 6th Australian Open title today.

Contrary to many beliefs that world no.2 Maria Sharapova would finally overcome Serena whocm she has only once beaten in 2004. And siince then, whenever they met, it was elder Serena lifting the winning trophy. It was Sharapova's 16th straight defeat against Serena.




Serena beat Sharapova 6-3 7-6 (7-5) and continued with the magic, the spell of which charms Sharapova so much that she crumbles and loses. Although today she put up a winning like resistance, Serena proved too good for her and won the trophy.

West Indies outscores Sri Lanka to win T20I Cricket World Cup

West Indies did it after 30 years this Sunday evening today - they beat hosts Sri Lanka by a big margin of 36 runs to win the ICC T20I Cricket World Cup played at Colombo.

Although West Indies started with a debacle, with two of its ace peners going home for just three runs, Charles for duck and Gayle for 3, the team did manage a comfortable target of 138 to the hosts Islanders. Coming to bat, Sri Lanka was loser on every account and could hardly manage 101 runs before being sent back to pavillion right in front of the sad and morose home crowd and the president.

-->

The victory won by the West Indies bring back joy to the Caribbeans who waited for this honour for good about thirty years. 

Congratulations West Indies!!

Two men trying to write down history on Sunday 10th June at Roland Garros
Likewise, on 10th of June, another history making event is going to take place at Paris, when World no.1 Serbian Novak Djokovic and world no.3 and second seeded defending champion Spaniard Rafael Nadal come face to face in the Roland Garros's men's single final.

Nadal, who has already won the Roland Garros final for six times, will attempt to defend his title for the seventh time and become the first tennis player in the history of tennis to do so.

On the other hand, Djokovic, who already holds three Grand Slam titles, Wimbledon - US Open and Australian Open, will become the third man in tennis history to hold all four Grand Slams at one time, provided he wins against Nadal. It was 43 years ago that Australian Rod Laver had won this honour.
