Australian Open 2017


What a wonderful tournament. I don't know where to start up. Lot of emotions and I really loved it. One of the best moments to ever cherish!!

My below post which I wrote in September last year, reminds me now and truly my words became true!! Thank you, Thank you and Thank you!!


Roger, what should I say about you, My inspiration!! My role model!! The person whom I always admire and with the person whom I have more common characters and thoughts.

Lifting the Grand slam trophy after 5 long long years?? Still I can’t believe it’s been 5 years!! Whenever you lose the matches, I strongly feel you will be back soon with best!! You always made me feel strong whenever I faced tough times in life and you thought life is more positive and I always holds that. Thank you Roger, you always my best!!

Waiting is a pain, but sure it gives you back with all best rewards more than you expect – Thanks Roger!! The 5 years of your hunger wait gave a big bang to celebrate now!!

There is no other praised moments in life than being lifting the trophy in front of your kids. What best other moments are there? You always the best on and off the court and I’m lucky to witness such a person in my life. Thank you Roger!! I always strongly feel, we our-self should be role model and being an example to our kids and they should learn from us and you proved that Roger!!

I thought of write more on Aus Open’17 but my fingers are literally start writing about Roger!! J Ok, let me start it now J

First of all, I like to Congratulate Rafa for the wonderful come back. As Roger said, “Tennis needs you”, so be here for long and lift all wonderful Grand slam trophies. I’m sure, you will definitely win a Grand slam this year and I love to watch that J The semifinals which last for 5 hours of battle and I would say, you both deserves the win. Grigor and you rocked the Arena and every tie break points made the match so excited and I really enjoyed watching it! Thank you for the wonderful match!!

Roger, Congratulations J Walks off the court with Norman Brookes Challenge Cup with all smiles J You made it Roger and it’s time to celebrate these best moments which you dreamed for 5 years. Playing against with your buddy in finals and shares the stage with him in finals after 6 long years is a memorable moment in life to cherish forever. Enjoy this 18 J

Grigor, you ruled the Arena. What a play!! It’s a remarkable and outstanding play. You deserves to win but Rafa’s Grand slam experience helped him to won the match. Sure, one day with all these experiences you will definitely win the Grand slam title!! All the very best!!

Congratulations Serena for your 23rd Grand slam title J Playing against with your sister in Grand slam finals after 8 long years and shares the stage with her after long time is the best moment. I really enjoyed watching the finals. I know you are a very aggressive player, but what made you to smash the racket? It made me think, “What this girl doing? So much frustrated when you playing against with your sister itself?” May be true, playing against with siblings are always more powerful and angry. I completely agree ;)

Venus, what a comeback. You the best!!

I love Roger’s Serve, what a tricks he have to place the ball. For Tennis, height and stamina are the most important but if a kid wants to be No.1 in Tennis means, sure should watch Roger’s match and should learn from it. I like Roger’s and Venus skills and the way they place the ball in the Court. They have amazing skill and talent!! May be Serena won the Tournament, but I would say, Venus played better than Serena. Serena struggled a lot in Serves, the best thing is her stamina which helped her to won the match.

The best rivals in the finals. The best matches. The rivals complements each other is so lovely and what a sportsmanship!! The veterans made the Australian Open 2017 as the best Grand slam tournament and made a history.

Thank you, Thank you and Thank you for this wonderful Australian Open 2017. I really enjoyed and loved it.

Australian Open Semi Finals 2017 – Roger vs Stan


It’s a Swiss Semi Final J

What a wonderful match it was. The best 3hours of time!! Somehow my heart said when the match starts, Roger will win!! So I was relaxed but I can’t move my eyes anywhere other than looking at Roger. What a comeback after a long break due to injury, what a play, what a tricks!!

The 5 sets of match with every point, break points and match points excited. Not even any Hollywood action movies gave this much thrill. The 1st set went close to an hour with each points thrilled with break points. The first two sets won by Roger and this makes Stan to get frustrate and he lost his control and he smashed his Racket in the 2nd set, After all it’s a game and that too it’s none other than he playing against his own country/veteran player, he should sure need to change his attitude to stand for long journey in Tennis.

The 3rd and 4th set won by Stan. When Stan won 3rd and 4th set, the match became excited for the 5th set. Roger took his medical break and he came back with full energetic for the 5th set and what a play it was!! Only one word – Fantastic J

I’m looking forward for tomorrow’s semi final match and I hope my long time wish will come true to see Roger vs Rafa in Finals after a long break J what a comeback of these two veterans J Similarly, Williams sisters in Women’s AO Finals. This year started with great Tennis matches and I’m really looking forward this year with excitement J
