Novak, Roger inspired to give more.

It's been a great tournament here at London O2 arena. Barclays world tour finals, the last tournament for 2012 season got a tremendous ending with the presence of Nole and Roger and their elegant tennis yesterday.

Roger, who is interested in taking the domination from the beginning of the match has done good job by breaking the first serve in the second game. But the other side of the net, Djokovic, who is a slow started and smart actor on the field ( always shows signs of tired man when he loses point ) got into the set again by getting two crucial points against six time champion. And Federer showed his free style , attacking and aggressive gaming to save two set points against world no.1 when he is serving at 5-4. And the first set lead to tie breaker as the momentum is swinging between back and forth between Roger and Novak. In tie break, it was Novak who took the control of the game and got the first set. It was Roger's another incredible passing shot against Novak in the tie breaker at 6-5.

In the second set, Roger came back strongly by breaking the Djoker first game. And Federer got the momentum and got the situation to stretch the match to 3 sets, but nole made it again to save the points and game. And Novak got the match after a good passing shot.

It was great season for the both players and a great match to end the season. Novak defended his year ending ranking no.1 for the straight second year, and Roger who is at 32 showed some inspirational game play during this year, and he is ready to give it more.. :)

Roger said..

I think it’s the love for the game, the appreciation I get from the crowds, I guess playing for records from time to time, playing against different types of generations and playing styles,” he said. “The game has evolved sort of over the last 13-14 years I’ve been on tour. It’s changed quite a bit ever since.

“I think you need inspiration, motivation from different angles to keep you going because it isn’t that simple just to wake up every morning and go for another travel around the world, another practice, all these other things, another fitness workout, another stretch. It’s always nice, but you need to have some success and you need to have the right reasons why you’re doing it. I think I’ve always been able to do that and I really enjoy myself out on the court.”

Novak said..

“I was just trying to hang in there,” said Djokovic, on being 0-3 down in the first set. “It's not the first time that Roger [has] started against me so well. I've experienced before his aggression, really trying to put his mark on the match. I didn't know in which direction the match would really go, but I tried to convince myself that I would make a turnaround and I will fight.

That's all for the tennis this year. Hope we have great tennis with Nadal coming out from injury.

MeeBhoomi - A good initiative from AP Govt.

We bring nothing when we come to this world and we take nothing when we died. But still, what we have in the life will be valuable at least for the time we live. Wait, why I'm saying this now, because most of our valuable time is well spent on the land issues. And there is so many things need to happen to know the present owner of the land. Recently AP (Andhra Pradesh) government announces a portal for public to access all the land details.

Who we are? And what we are doing here on the Earth?

Ever wonder who we are? and what exactly we are doing on this Earth, the lonely planet revolving around this furious Sun along with a bunch of bros (I mean planets). Wait, this Earth? Do we have more than one Earth? Who knows, in this humongous vast space, can't we find another Earth? The probability is surely greater than Zero. Humans are evolving like anything. We invented the fire, the wheel and what not? We make our lives easier day by day. Sometimes, I feel we are also like ants. Ants? Yes, Ants. Most of the time, many of us will not observe their movement. Perhaps we are also like ants or any creature and we are being ignored/watched by some of the invisible entities of outer space. Sometimes, I feel we are machines embedded with intelligence. Just like the robots embodied with Artificial Intelligence (AI), we are also programmed and delivered to Earth. The programmed chip may be called as DNA. A question comes in my mind, how come our children ...

Google's Stadia, the GAME changer!

Having a high-end computer or any one of the boxes (Xbox, PlayStation) is not necessary to play high end games in the near future. Recently Google announced a new product from its armory related to gaming at GDC2019, called Stadia . Stadia offers to stream the game in the web browser itself. The game will be loaded and run on the server side, only the video will be played on your computer/mobile. This can be called as Cloud Gaming or Game as a Service (GaaS). All we need is a decent internet connection and probably a subscription for Stadia. No need for any boxes. The traditional premium boxes will be second thought. Since they are expensive for a casual gamer, Stadia will be the best option to experience big games. High tech spec GPUs, high speed processors and all the expensive hardware part will be saved. Hmm, it sounds awesome!! This is another master plan by Google to rule the digital world. Already Google and it's echo system is way more penetrated...
