Ballon d'Or 2017:The Best Footballer of The Year Goes To....

The most awaited trophy of the year is about to see its owner in few months.This blog is about who can win this award this year.



Lionel Messi.Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar will be trying their luck for the Ballon d'Or this year.Both Ronaldo and Messi have been nominated 9 times for the finals where as it is only the second time for Neymar to be nominated after 2015.Interestingly both Ronaldo and Messi have won this award for four times,which is more than any player in the history of football.The power packed performance by the three players is the reason why they have reached the finals.Cristiano Ronaldo has played 36 games this season and scored 37 goals and also 7 assists.Messi has played 40 games this season and scored 39 goals with 9 assists.Whereas Neymar has played 33 games and scored 16 goals with 12 assists.Seeing at the numbers it seems that Neymar is almost out of contention for this award.The real fight is between Ronaldo and Messi.This award is decided by coaches,players and journalists and declared in France.This is the reason this award has been so fair over the years and each year invokes some suspense.
This year I believe that Cristiano Ronaldo will win this award.This is because he had a great role in the grand success of Real Madrid last season.In fact 2016-17 season was the greatest ever in the history of Real Madrid.In terms of goals also Ronaldo has a scoring average of  1.02 goals per match where as Messi has an average of 0.975 goals per match.Above all the impact that Ronaldo created last season was huge and bigger than any other player in the world.Though football is a team sport but these individual awards grab a lot of eyes.In fact this is the reason why Ronaldo has an edge over Messi because Real Madrid has performed better the Barcelona.
Finally Ballon d'Or will be awarded on December 6 and Cristiano Ronaldo must win his fifth
Ballon d'Or.

Ashes 2017:The clash of the Titans

The most awaited test series of the year,Ashes is back with Australia and England battling one more time.This blog about the team analysis of both the teams and who stands a better chance this time. This year's Ashes series is a very different contest all together.Both the teams have a bunch of new players and debutants.This makes the series even more interesting.Talking about the visitors i.e England,the whole batting line up revolves aroung two players Alaister Cook and Joe Root.The whole team is a lot more dependant on these two players.The top order of England having the likes of  Mark Stoneman,David Malan,James Vince is difficult to predict as these players don't have much experience.But the strength lies in the lower middle order of England where there is Moeen Ali,Jonny Bairstow.Both these players have a decent average of 35+.But it would be intersting to see how Moeen Ali plays in the fast and bouncy pitches of Australia.He got exposed to short balls when England ...

Who will win the U.S Open 2017?

U.S Open 2017 is all set to see its 137th champion.The withdrawl of many contenders have made this edition much more interesting.This blog discusses the major contenders of this championship this year. The biggest talking point in this year's U.S Open is who will play the finals rather than who will win the U.S Open.This is probably the first time that Nadal and Federer are placed in the same half of the draw in the absence of Djokovic and Murray.Defending champion Stanlas Wawrinka has also pulled out of the U.S Open due to injury.This means the top half is packed with many former U.S Open champions like Del Potro along with Federer and Nadal.Hence the one who advances from the top half is expected to win the championship.Bottom half has some good players like Cilic,Sam Querry,Zverev,Tsonga but Tsonga and Zverev have already been knocked out of tournament.The bottom half is expected to have such upsets because none of these players have been consistent in grand slam events...

ATP World Tour Finals 2017:As it happened

The most dramatic tournament of the year ended up with debutant Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria winning this tournament for the very first time.This blog is the analysis of this tournament. Nobody in this world would have predicted Dimitrov to win the ATP World tour finals this year.But he suprised everyone by defeating David Goffin of Belgium to clinch this title at his very first attempt.I really do not think this have ever happened in the past.The tournament was a roller coaster ride.First of all Nadal had to pull out from this tournament in the league stage itself which gave Pablo Custa a surprise entry to the championship. It was also the first time semi finals was contested with three debutants.Above all Dimitrov winning the championship.Roger Federer who was expected to win the championship in the semi finals after losing to David Goffin inthe semifinals.The way Goffin played against Federer it was predicted that he would eventually win the tournament.But in the finals Dimit...
