Posted by ceblogger on September 1st, 2011

Venus Williams pulled out from the U.S. Open tennis in New York due to an illness which she says causes fatigue and pain in her joints.

Venus Williams pulls out from 2011 US Open

“I have been recently diagnosed with Sjögren’s Syndrome, an autoimmune disease which is an ongoing medical condition that affects my energy level and causes fatigue and joint pain,” she said in a statement on usopen.org.

Before pulling out, Venus defeated Vesna Dolonts of Russia. She was due to play against Sabine Lisicki of Germany in the second round. She was a two-time winner here – in 2000 and 2001.

“I enjoyed playing my first match here and wish I could continue but right now I am unable to. I am thankful I finally have a diagnosis and am now focused on getting better and returning to the court soon,” she added.

Had she progressed, she would have the chance of another showdown with Maria Sharapova (3) or Vera Zvonareva (2) in the later rounds. Venus Williams will surely be missed in this Grand Slam tourney. Another title after a decade would have been a sweeter victory.

2011 Wimbledon Men’s Finals: Novak Djokovic Wins

Posted by ceblogger on July 4th, 2011


2011 is Novak Djokovic’s year. First, he won the Australian Open. Second, he topped the world rankings the other day. And now, he dislodged Rafael Nadal from the top of the rankings and snatched the Wimbledon trophy in an emphatic 6-1, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 victory over the Spaniard.

It was Djokovic’s 50th win in 51 matches and fifth win over Nadal this year. His solitary loss was against Roger Federer in the French Open. They could have set up a rematch but the Swiss failed to stop a resurging Tsonga. Novak easily dispatched the Frenchman to set up the fifth Final against Nadal this year.

Wimbledon is the Serb’s third Grand Slam title after getting two Australian Open trophies. Will it be the US Open title next?
