Roger Federer won his 7th Gerry Weber Open title on the grass courts in Halle, Germany, prevailing over a very determined A. Falle, 7-6, 7-6. Falle is the first Colombian player to reach a final of a grass court event. Congrats to him, but ROGER THAT!! Federer won his 14th grass court title and hopefully, he will rest, spend time with the family, practice and be ready for Wimbledon. I really want Fed to win another Grand Slam title and Wimbledon is generally regarded as his best shot. But when it comes to Federer, you never know when the magic can happen!
Oops, forgot to mention that Federer and his partner Marco Chuiudirelli of Switzerland were also in the doubles final in Halle, losing in a three set match, 10-12 in the third.
Tie break matches seemes to be the theme of the day as G. Dimitrov defeated F. Lopez (very handsome!, but hey, Dimitrov is a nice looking fellow as well) in three tie break sets, 6-7, 7-6. 7-6 in the Aegon Tournament in England (another grass court tune up event prior to Wimbledon). Grigor is definitely on the move and his girlfriend Maria Sharapova was there to cheer him on. In the women’s Aegon tournament, Ana Ivanovic won her first grass court title in two sets in Birmingham, England. Ana looks ready to make a serious run at Wimbledon. Victoria Azarenka will return to action next week in yet another grass court tournament prior to Wimbledon after being out three months with a serious foot injury. Hope all the ladies are healthy and ready to go at it on June 23rd when Wimbledon gets underway.
The final round of the US Open Golf Championship is well under way and it is still the Martin Kaymer show at this point. He is atop the leaderboard at -9 playing along side Rickie Fowler, currently in second with Erik Compton at -3. Kaymer looking to “seal the deal”! Still, something about no Tiger Woods takes away from the aura of it all a bit for me. Adam Scott at +2, Jordan Spieth at +2, Rory Mcilroy at +5 (?) and Mickelson at +7 (oh, my?).
Tonight, will we perhaps crown the 2014 NBA Champions? The San Antonio Spurs host the defending champions the Miami Heat in San Antonio. The Spurs have a nice 3-1 lead in the series and a win tonight at home will get it done. GO SPURS!
Happy Fathers Day to all the “Dads” out there!
Update: Compton now at -4, Kaymer still at -9. Fowler falling off a bit!
Congratulations to Martin Kaymer, the first German player to ever win the US Open Golf Championship. Kaymer finished at -9, Rickie Fowler and Erik Compton tied for second at -1.
OK, let’s watch some basketball!
