The Evergreen Fight for Maximum Grandslams

The end of U.S Open 2017 has revived a battle that all tennis lovers love to see i.e the fight for

maximum number of grandslams. This blog article is about this record and its future prospects.

If some one had said that Nadal could break Federer's most number of grandslams record last year,he

would have been considered pretty ambitious but after this year,this would really be an exciting contest to see.At the present moment Federer has 19 grand slams to his name and Nadal has 16 grandslams in his kitty.,which means the deficit if of only 3 grandslams.The age difference between the two is 5 years which suggests that out of the two it is Federer who is going to retire first.But there has been a great difference in which the both have played in last 2-3 years.Last 2-3 years have been very difficult for Nadal.He has been suffering from a lot of injuries.Infact Nadal was not able to even reach the quarterfinals of the Grandslam events.But Federer had a lot smoother journey.Except for 2016 he had been pretty consistent and reaching a lot of semi finals and finals.The point that I want to make is that Federer handles himself lot better than Nadal.Hence the assumption that Federer retires before Nadal may go down and the opposite may happen.Certainly Federer was lot better than Nadal when he was between 28-30. But coming back to the current situation both of them look equally good.It was first time since 2007 that Federer and Nadal swept all the four grandslams.2007 seven was preceeded by seven years of complete dominance.But it would be really unfair if we say that the competiton isjust between the two because Djokovic,Murray,Wawrinka are surely going to return next year.And afterall it was these players who were winning before this year .Djokovic has a fair chance of reaching that milestone as he already has 12 grandslams to his name.

Finally I love the fact that even after so many years both Nadal and Federer stand a chance of winning most number of grandslams.Though both of them may deny that they do not play for records but we as tennis fans would really love to see this battle for records.It is this record which makesthe Federer- Nadal rivalry even more exciting.

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 is better Sachin or Virat?

The hot Question since past three years is Who is a better player Sachin or Virat? Sachin Tendulkar Virat Kohli Well its not easy to compare two people of two different generations but it still can be done because of the fact that both of them have played with each other for good 3-4 years. Lets compare both of them on different aspects-: 1. Time periods : When we compare the periods when these two played then they are extremely different. Sachin made his debut at a time when India was emerging as a cricketing country, when we were not the best in any of the things. Sachin came as a hope as to we could say that we hav...
