That should be Canas instead of Cans. And I think the topic should be changed to the tennis world is getting interesting again!

She was. twice in a row. Same with cans , Federer. Though watching Canas play, I have a feeling he's still on steroids.

Anyway I am happy he clubbed Federer twice, that will show the other players that Federer is just human. And I am also happy Djokovic beat Canas, before people start feeling Canas is a cyborg or something.

The tennis world is definitely getting interesting. Now if only Blake can stop spoiling my day, and starts to win matches again!!

Lawyerchap, what can I say? Your powers of summary/incisive analysis are awesome. If I ever need a lawyer for a case I'll choose you. ( assuming you are actually a lawyer).

Anyway the fact that Lara George was left out was terrible, I hope the judges can live with themselves after that. It sort of diminishes the impact of the judges' impartiality for me.Anyway let's see how it goes.

Hi people,

I missed today's selection process. Which two made it from group 4 and who are the two wildcards?

Thanks.

Hi,

I missed monday's episode. Which two made it to the next round?

Hi people,

For me an equally good way to wind down after a stressful day is to come to nairaland and read people's comments. ( Love you guys !!)

Anyway, does anyone have the names ( and if possible , pictures) of the 24 singers that moved to the next stage? it will be much appreciated.

There are oh. The most annoying part is the make up of the ghosts. How come they usually wear bed sheets? Black, white , red; all bed sheets. and the make up, ugh!

Nigerian horror movies are not too horrific sorry.

Haas just lost in straight sets.

And the winners are:

Men's final: Roger Federer

Women's final: Serena Williams ( she had better win, since the first time Sharapova really came to limelight was by beating Serena at Wimbledon ( 2, 3 years ago?). So let the situations be reversed.

And I think Nadal's injury was more shock than a$$ bites or leg tremors or whatever. Somehow you don't expect him to be comprehensively beaten like that except by federer or maybe Blake. There is still perception that While Federer might be the sole inhabitant of cloud 9 ( a class of his own); that Nadal inhabits cloud 8.2 alone. Suddenly we find Gonzalez on cloud 8.45.

What a shock for Nadal.

Meanwhile going by statistics, let's see what Federer will do to Gonzalez.

The funny thing is no matter how on fire a player is destroying all others en route to meeting Federer, he usually manages to douse the flames, thrashing opponents without expression and then crying at the awards ceremony. Weird, uh?

The guy must be part cyborg.

Nadal is out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Davidylan, that's my point exactly. Blake is better than that. But I believe he'll still redeem his image as the season progresses. Meanwhile i guess Nadal is actually on his way out.Gonzalez is reaaly hot. I need to watch this game tonite.

Blake's problem is psychological. Just like Federer had against Nadal earlier. And you are right Fed has found the formula against Nadal, who by the way reminds me of a bull. So much power and aggression.

And on upcoming defeats for Fed, they will surely come . Remember the season is still young.

i totally agree on sharap's case, that runaway engine shriek must stop. quite annoying.

What makes you think Hing can't silence sharap?

PDF, just seems like that. I like Gonzalez too. And Hingis, Acasuso and a few others. But after the way, Federer beat Blake in the finals of the season ending masters series last year, i just feel it's time for him to be on the receiving end too. And it's going to happen. He's still the best so far, but he's human and the others are fast catching up.

He's going to lose more games this year than last year but if he happens to play Nadal, then definitely I'll be supporting Federer all the way.

By the way, I don't want sharapova to win the ladies either.

Blake's loss yesterday totally ruined my day. I did not know how much I had invested in the guy until he lost, but he'll be back. Mark my words. Serena almost did the same thing early this morning. I was rushing to go to work ( VI) and I was still stuck in front of the tv . Thank God she won.

I feel Roddick has a good chance of winning this tournament.

nice site.

I would be interested in playing in a chess tourney organised here.

Says who? If you mean they have a lot of very good chess players. then yes , i guess. but chess did not originate in russia. at olympiads it is not a given that the russian team will come first. and on any given day, there are a lot of other nationals that will give them a run for their money. take the topalovs,anands,sasikirans,negis, carlsens, adams' etc. it's a wonderful jungle out there.

cristino do u play?

The battle is the Lord's.

He battled his way through the snowstorm.


SCRABBLE.

I have always believed that while Topalov is a very strong super GM he's actually not the strongest. Now I know that the battle is not always to the strong etc, etc, But I always felt Kramnik had the upper hand in the match due to their contrasting styles of play. Checking out the two players' games, you will see that Topalov excels in tactical positions, he seems to have a penchant for exchange sacrifices while Kramnik does very well in technical games, strategic etc. As every chess player knows, one tends to get more of 'dry' positions than wild ones. By the way Kramnik must be congratulated for managing to neutralize Topalov.

Now I'll be rooting for one of my four favourite players to win it next year( Anand, Adams, Carlsen and Morozevich).

By the way it's nice to have a chess lover on this site. do you play online or over the board chess?

I wonder what cooked bat would taste like?

Don't bat your eyes at me!

Hi Radiant,

as per my earlier post, I'm sept. 5th too. So u see, u are not alone.

garri and kuli kuli.

September 5th.

TV dramas. That way they can follow the format of short stories. You can get a lot across in such a short time and still have an interesting story.

Soap operas are like extended heart attacks. They could be very agonising ( and annoying!). Sit coms: when they are funny, they are very good, when they are not, they are horrid.

Hello Guys,

Just saw this thread. Glad to know that other guys love comics as much as I do. I'm more into titans, x-men, justice league ( though after ice died, well, )
and i also love the endless. dream, desire , despair et al.

Please if u guys find out any site that will deliver recent comics to naija, abeg let me know. i'm really , really interested. By the way, do u put much hope for an X-4 film? Personally I feel they should focus more on the ounger generation, more of an x-factor/ new mutant film and use rogue more!!

Seun,

Jean Grey is only that powerful when the phoenix/ dark phoenix persona is fully in charge even though she's still an Omega level mutant.

Vieira,

Abeg there was no phone number there oh. Do you have any other contact for them?
