This has been a great year in sports.

Tennis - Roger Federer have won his 15th Grand Slam in Wimbledon and is back in 1st place. The sisters Venus and Serena Williams also won in Wimbledon. In the singles facing Venus in the final, Serena won 7-6(3), 6-2, losing only eight points on serve. This gave Serena her third Wimbledon title and her 11th Grand Slam singles title. Serena and Venus teamed up to win the women's doubles title at the event for the second consecutive year, their ninth Grand Slam title in women's doubles.



Moto GP - With 9 races so far we have Rossi, Lorenzo and Stoner with 16 points apart, fighting for the 1st place in the championship.
This years Moto GP I reckon the fight will be till the end.
I go for Rossi first and Stoner after ... Lol



F1 - Mark Webber, originally from Queanbeyan New South Wales Australia, won this weekend at the German GP. He became the first Australian to win since Alan Jones in 1981. Well done Mark



Soccer - Barcelona's great season, winning three titles and having still to play UEFA Super Cup against Shakhtar Donetsk. Meantime Real Madrid does the most expensive transfer ever with Cristiano Ronaldo, spending $94 Million euros for the Portuguese player, its without any doubts a lot of money, but only in the first day Real sold 3000 Ronaldo jerseys..Looks like the investment is already giving back is return.. Not to mention that 80.000 fans went to Santiago Bernabeu just to see CR presentation. FC Porto, the money-making machine. Winning the Portuguese league and Cup in 2009 Porto is taking advantage of their achievements and their players momentum. FC Porto have received 295 million euros in player sales since winning the Champions League in 2003/2004. And that astonishing sum is likely to surpass the 300 million mark in the near future, with Bruno Alves and Aly Cissokho expected to be sold in the close season. And congratulations for Australia National Team Qualification to WC 2010 in South Africa. Its great to see the socceroos doing well.




Well, and this is just a couple of the sports I usually follow more often.
