Tennis is one of the classiest sports of all time, hence why some of the hottest sports people are Tennis players. However, the crème de la crème of the Tennis world seems to be too willing to flaunt their physical superiority by appearing on magazines that has nothing to do with the sports. It all started with Anna Kournikova, the first Tennis sensation who graced the billboards with her stunning physique. Next was Maria Sharapova, who luckily unlike the former, actually had the skills to win grand slam titles. Now, it seems that another Tennis star will be appearing on Playboy, we hear its another Russian doll, we hope she plays as hard as she does the guys.
As a young man, Roger Federer was notorious for his temper, this often led to him being kicked out of the court. As the years progressed, Federer learned to channel all of his energy to improving his craft. At age 12, Federer chose to give up football to focus on Tennis. It was a decision he would not regret seeing that it was the start of his rise to greatness. Today, Federer is still the number one tennis player. Rafael Nadal retired after losing to him in the last open wherein the latter had a standing ovation for putting us such a remarkable career in Tennis.
The sports world did not see a shadow of Ray Allen during the first four games at the East finals. Luckily, the would have been dead man walking, (his career would have been all up in smokes if he did not do something to make up for his absence) more than made up for his missing in action stint with a play that has got the crowd roaring. Allen was the reason why his team was able to make it off to the finals wherein they will be taking on Boston celtics. For now though, Allen claims he is just happy they could all go home and get a good night’s rest.
Detroit Pistons all time crowd drawer guard Richard Hamilton extends his arm as he leaves the court in the final seconds of the second half of the match, this was during round five of the NBA Eastern Conference basketball finals against the Boston Celtics at Boston. The match last Wednesday night wherein the Celtics were washed out by the Pistons on 106 102 on a take of a 3 2 ups in the game series got everyone wanting to see if its just good all luck or if they are actually seeing what could be, the start of a winning streak for the Detroit Pistons. Hopefully, the season could finally blow off with some much needed highlights.
