Comment on Is Federer broken? by Alex

How it hurt’s to see Federer so dominant and to watch him lose,lose and lose to Nadal. I think Federer has to get as strong as Nadal is and maybe consider changing racquets. Or what else could it be with his game!? Of course at this stage,his mental capacity against Nadal has also withered and only hurts his game even further. Roger…get a coach,change racquets and a little more strength training and there ya’go…Grand Slam number 14!!

Wow, another fantastic match. I watched the whole match as I did with both semi finals. Although I was going for Federer I think Nadal totally deserves that victory and he is a true champion. To back a 5 set, 5 hour semi final up with another 5 set, 4 hour + final in less than 48 hours was a true show of Rafa’s strength and endurance. You could also see by the body language of the players and shot selection that Rafa had the edge on Federer mentally. To have won 6 grandslams on 3 different surfaces at Rafa’s age is a truely remarkable feat. I was hoping Federer would equal Sampras’ record of 14 grand slams but Rafa was truely deserving having played another great match. Rafa truely is an entertainer as he is involved in all three of the greatest matches I have now seen – the Wimbledon final against Federer last year, the semi final against Verdasco the other day and this final against Federer. It will be very tough for Federer to recover from the mental scarring that has occurred in this loss and the Wimbledon loss last year along with all the French Open losses to Nadal. Especially as the next Grand Slam event is the French Open which will most likely mean Federer copping another hiding to Nadal. It was however very sad to see Federer break down in tears at the presentation, it was a horrible feeling to watch. I imagine it was because of the Legends awaiting to congratulate Federer if he got the 14 grand slams that he got so emotional.

Comment on Human rights won’t get in the way of business by kim

China promised that bringing the Olympics to Beijing would improve human rights – it’s time to deliver.

Human rights are not political. They’re the basis for all human life – from the right to life and shelter to the right to the freedom of expression and religion. Standing up for human rights is standing up for the values enshrined in the Olympic Charter.

Comment on I’m too sexy for my skis by Ski Bum

I think it’s a great idea for promoting skiing packages to Switzerland, however I wish they had a female version as well to appeal to men. Are they just trying to attract more women to take skiing vacations in CH?

Comment on DNA dating site promises better sex by Nir

Amusing post, I enjoyed reading it.

As for the idea itself…even if there is truth in the science, joining a sweat-scent based dating site does not sounds appealing at all. How will it work: the potential match will smell my scent, over the web, and decide based on that? And won’t my attractivness depend highly on what I ate that same day? So the day I ate chocolat, I’ll be prince charming (via scent). The day I ate extra garlic Pizza, on the other hand, will be a sad day for my DNA…

Anyway, amusing idea, but I don’t want to try it…
