What’s Going on in Miami?

]]> Tennis is in full swing in Miami and the heavy hitters are coming out strong. British player Andy Murray and Serbian Novak Djokovic made it into the quarterfinals of the ATP and WTA hardcourt tournament today (March 31st). Murray defeated Serbian Viktor Troicki 6-1, 6-0 and Djokovic defeated Czech Tomas Berdych 6-3, 6-2.

Murray played an excellent match and he knew it.

“I didn’t make a lot of mistakes, high percentage of first serves, used my slice well – just kept thinking all the way through the match,” Murray said.

“Right from the start, to get a break early, set the tone for the rest of the match. He didn’t really recover from that.”

Djokovic took advantage of his opponents mistakes for the victory.

“I was trying to stick with him all the time, because I knew he’s very aggressive, but not really consistent from the baseline,” Djokovic said.

“He makes a lot of unforced errors, especially from the forehand side, so I changed the pace and I played a really good tennis.”

The fourth rounds men’s match will include Djokovic facing Jo-Wilfried Tsonga , Roger Federer facing Taylor Dent and Andy Roddick facing Gael Monfils . Now those will be some amazing matches to watch.

Too much cricket these days?

]]> I spent a sleepless month in September. You know why. The T20 World Cup. I finally got my forty winks after the final. Before my eyes could adapt to light, Australia came down and I found myself entrapped again. But it seems a little different with the Indian Oil Cup. I’ll admit that I was never oh so looking forward to it. With the first match turning out to be a fizzle, I have actually decided to help Mom out with Diwali prep during the holiday.

Yes, we’ve talked about players getting injured and dead beat due to nonstop playing, but on the other end, the spectators are getting a little tired of watching, too. Just like players need a break from playing, I personally feel I need a break from watching it, too, sometimes.

Of course, this is how the ICC’s system works, but couldn’t they make room for some off-time during November and December when no international cricket is played? Just like the WTA and ATP are approaching their end season. When the Australian Open starts next year, everybody is going to be all excited for the next season. Even with football, they have intervals between international tournaments.

What’s the point with playing so much cricket? If they want to make more money, maybe they could have a few more T20 cups.
