Andy Roddick is conspicuously missing due to injury.  I hope he qualifies for Tennis Masters Cup Shanghai.

Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and workaholic Davydenko have all qualified for the season-ending tournament, which will take place in 27 days' time. These guys are playing for pride at the moment as they have nothing to lose, if they get ousted. I won't be surprised though if we see a Fed - Djoko final.

That means there are four spots left.  Which players will be filling those spots come Nov. 11?

Uncle Seun, Samuel Peters beat American Jameel McCline to defend his WBC Interim Heavyweight Title.

He was to have fought former champion Vitali Klitschko in Munich, but Klitschko pulled out of that fight with a back injury.

In the first half of the game, I couldn't believe I was watching Chelsea play - the defense was so poor that I felt David Villa and Joachim were going to get a hat trick each.  Alas, they went to sleep.

I'm happy Chelsea purnished Valencia for not taking their chances esp. in the first half. 

Valencia played better, no doubt.  Kudos to Chelsea for showing true character and determination.

I still believe the US second choice keeper should not be blamed for the loss.  A keeper is as good as his/her defense. The defense was torn apart by the Brazil's mesmerizing attack; Marta was simply out of this world, maybe Chelsea should sign her instead of Ronaldinho.  If anyone should be blamed it should be the defenders who allowed themselves to be run over again and again, and maybe the referee.

If Brazil maintain their form against the Germans, they stand a great chance of lifting the cup.

Medube, you want to sell Farrell for $4m? hmm. . . how much will Fayola go for? . . . just kidding. By the way, how's she?

Now that your family has carted away with the grand prize of N2m, let's see if you're a man of your words.

. . . at least we didn't concede 15 goals like the Ghanians .

Kit,

Yes, the attack was non-existent.

I am of the opinion the girls were not motivated enough. Their display today was driven by sheer determination, not wanting to lose.  It was, by far, their best performance in the group matches. The attack just let them down, perhaps it was the opponent's rock-solid defense.

The girls should be encouraged.

Did you watch our match against USA? If you did, I don't expect such a comment from you. 

Our performance was great, twas just too late. The only flaw was our offense, which was not sharp. Nkwocha was simply splendid and Dede was wow!  I wonder what happened in the previous two matches.

USA 1 - Nigeria 0

Why not just give it to him? The guy has single-handedly forced the other players to raise the standard of their games.  He's simply amazing!!!

The final match between Federer and Djokovic is in progress. . .

Grandma, who's your baby? Djoko?

Justine Henin claimed her seventh grand slam title with a 6-1 6-3 victory over former champion Svetlana Kuznetsova at the US Open.

The Belgian world number one needed just one hour and 22 minutes to take the comprehensive win and move above Venus Williams to second in the list of active grand slam winners.

The match between Federer and Davydenko ended 7-5, 6-1, 7-5.  Roger books a date with the last man to beat him, Djokovic, in the final.

Federer takes the second set 6-1. His serve has been of great help tonite.

Federer takes the first set against Davydenko 7 - 5. He was broken in the first game set but broke back in the sixth and eighth games, only to allow Davy break when he was serving at 5-4.

The second set is underway.

That 'witch' is damn too good!!!

Novak Djokovic beats David Ferrer 6-4 6-3 6-3 to reach his first grand slam final!

Djokovic will next face the winner of the match between three-time defending champion Roger Federer and fourth seed Nikolay Davydenko.

What a turn-around! Djokovic won five straight games to take the first set 6 - 4.

The match between Djokovic and Ferrer is underway.

Ferrer was leading 4 - 2 courtesy of an early break in the second game. Djoko has bounced back and it's now 4-4.

What has race got to do with this? The more skillful, the better.

Henin is a more skillful player than the rest, likewise Federer.

Seun:
What? When did this happen?

the match or the slap?

If it's the match, it's stil happening.  

Yes o! It's 2 - 0. Uche on target.

Kanu just slapped a player of the pitch. Guess what he got?. . . Nothing.

Is anyone watching the match? It's a full house, except for the absence of Martins and Yobo.

It's the last match of the qualifiers. Nigeria is leading by a goal at the moment.

I don't know why the ref would have allowed them to play on that water-logged pitch. Uche Ikechukwu missed a goal, no thanks to the state of the pitch; the ball stopped on the goal-line.

Mikel has also missed a penalty. Of course, you all can guess who was brought down in the box.

Henin completes d double over d williamses in straight sets. The second set ended 6-4. I hope she has enuf left in her tank 4 d finals.

Henin goes a break up again the second set. She leads 3-0!!!

Henin takes the first set 7-6(2).

Venus saves three set points and breaks back. It's 5 - 5.

I'm afraid Venus' off to a bad start as she's down a break in the first set. Henin leads 2-0
