Federer takes down Del PotroAs if it was an act of sporting revenge, Roger Federer defeated Martin Del Potro at the Cincinnati Open in what was probably one of the best matches of the season for the worlds third best. The Argentinean had won in their previous meeting at the 2009 US Open and after taking down Del Potro, now the Swiss is ready to face James Blake from the USA at the next round. I expected a tough match with Juan Martin for obvious reasons, and it went better than I thought, said Federer.
Kobes game is not getting betterAt age 32 Kobe Bryant is not expected to play an MVP level anymore, in fact, he hasnt played at such level in years, which is why it is surprising that the Lakers signed him on a huge contract worth more than $80 million as it is clear that the veteran shooting guard is not getting better, and this could be quite detrimental for the Los Angeles franchise, as he is the player others look up to and trust in to guide them. Even though Kobe might play every game of the upcoming seasons (his contract is due in 2014), dont expect him to lead the Lakers to another championship, as that task is now in the hands of Andrew Bynum.
