OS Beijing 2008 Paralympics Olympics Pekin

In a way to make up their losses in quarter finals, both American sisters were willing to bring back the gold with them for a 2^nd consecutive time after Sydney’s 2000.

Spain’s Anabel Medina and Virginia Ruano weren’t so tough to beat! They

gave their opponents an easy game allowing them to leave Beijing with a gold medal.

6-2  6-0 score declared Serena Williams and Venus Williams as women tennis champions on double. Beijing’s Olympics isn’t so frustrating for Serena and Venus who weren’t up to the level during the singles tour.

Betting sites and sports news were putting pressure on the American duo, whose performance wasn’t as usual… luckily, they responded in the best possible way:

We’re back to back, and that’s our 2^nd successive!

Unbeaten and dominating Spaniard Rafael Nadal, just topped the tennis world ranking. After winning the French open and Wimbledon, the Spanish is now being crowned as the tennis tournament winner of the Beijing’s Olympics. thousands of spectators were filling their seats many hours before the start, to witness the final event of men’ tennis tournament.

6-3  7-6  6-3 a clear supremacy against Chile’s Fernando Gonzalez who saved 3 match points, only to postpone the inevitable.

The 22 years old Spanish will be designated as the world leader in tennis ranking, putting an end to Roger Federer’s domination for the past 4 and half years. Nadal is the first Spanish who brings home a golden reward in tennis.

The Olympic tennis center of Beijing was fully packed, hours before the final game that joined Elena Dementieva (seeded 5^th in world ranking) and Dinara Safina( ranked 6^th), in a conclusion of the Female singles tournament. Everyone anticipated the start and the end, to know who will be the gold medalist.

Dementieva’s come back into the game was a disappointing fact for Safina, who was 1 set away from wearing a golden medal. Dementieva was a bit better in the last hour of the game that lasted for 2 and half hours. Lucky crowds!

Beijing centre applauded Elena’s will to win, and cheered in support of the 2000 Olympics silver medalist.

Betting sites and panels indicated earlier before the match, that odds are almost equal among the 2 ladies! What really mattered is that the crowded stadium enjoyed the last singles tennis celebration; it was really eye catching and nervous

Swiss team characterized by discipline and respect gave gold medals to Switzerland. Mainly, it was all about Federer who finally feels victorious, and was in need of a conquest to kick off the jinx.

Wawrinka, Federer’s mate also contributed in the win; at some points he was even better than the former world’s rank leader.

Swedish competitors, Simon Aspelin and Thomas Johansson didn’t have much to do, under the Swiss influence and fortitude of duo Federer-Wawrinka.

Federer, unusually roaring and yelling with every earned point, was clearly focused and willing to shoot gold.

After hitting their aim, Roger hugged his play partner Wawrinka in what seemed like an endless embrace after the final match point; a way to show gratitude for the help in a VICTOIRE of 6-3  6-4  6-7  6-3.

After all, Swiss star owed a big part of the victory to his less-known partner, and made that clear on TV sets and in the stadium, while sports news were always circling about the 5 years leader who couldn’t deny being grateful towards his colleague’s sweat and responsibility.

Bronze medals were earned by the Bryan brothers. Bob and Mike over came the French team 3-6  6-3  6-4

Safina took advantage of the beloved host Li Na who was making a series of unforced errors and looking desperately nervous.

Lack of experience maybe? Or excess of tension and pressure?

The packed stadium was all cheering for their local girl, while focused and strong hearted Russian kept cruising to end the game with a score of 7-6(3)  7-5

In the other final 4 game, Russian Dementieva , was playing Vera Zvonareva. The game was relatively easy for the Russian (silver medalist of Sydney) although she faced a tough resistance from Zvonareva who saved a couple of match points and drove Russia’s player into an additional set.

After all, Dementieva ended her game 6-3  7-6(3).

Russian feminine tennis will be celebrating the 1^st golden medal tomorrow, in a Russian to Russian combat! 1 thing is for sure, a bet on Russia is definitely a win, but still, the winner’s name remains unknown!

Safina gave it all, with nothing to lose; she had the privilege to get in a head to head with the world’s leader, Elena Jankovic.

Jankovic’s injury was unquestionably behind her lack of performance, making Safina look good in the game. Wounded number 1 said that no one expects a win, with a problem flying around, like she was pointing towards her calf grievance and the injections that she was getting.

6-2 5-7 6-3, is it a clear demonstration of Safina’s domination over the game, or on Jankovic’s damage?

Personally, I’d bet that if Jankovic were up to the level physically, the odds would’ve been much different.

Dianara Safina’s qualification to the semi-finals puts her in face of the Chinese idol Li Na in an expected to be a very close game, and a promising match for TV viewers and sports betting devotees. Tickets are sold out for these last turns of women tennis tournament in Beijing; TV is always available!

Spaniard reigns! After the finals day, he will be on top of the world’s ranking, over coming Federer and a long list of stars…. Simply, he is the best!

As his dominance continues, Sir Rafael took out Djokovic out of his face, in his hike towards the golden medal.

In an impressive game of talent, experience and willpower, Djokovic couldn’t do better than 6-4 1-6 6-4 against this season 7 times rewarded player, in which 2 major events are included: Wimbledon and French open

Nadal who has already beaten number 2 and 3, is considered as the ultimate favorite to win Beijing’s gold medal.

Betting sites and windows are crowded, with betting fans placing their expectations and odds on the line. As for the fans, the stadium’s tickets are already sold out; you can still watch it on TV or on the sports news.

Apparently his loss in the singles tournament didn’t affect him, proving once again that ranking 1^st along 4 and half years isn’t just a coincidence.

In the duo game, along with Stanislan Wawrinka, Federer showed an unusual talent, which was really appreciated by the ticketed crowds, applauding and cheering in what looked like a motivation for the elder leader in international ranking.

The Swiss pair will face Sweden’s experts Simon Aspelin and Thomas Johansson. A game that’s expected to be easy for the best ranked Swiss team, despite the fact that Simon and Thomas’ physical status is weaker after their last 4 hours and 45 minutes’ game.

Betting sites and sports news are pointing at Federer’s urgent must to win a gold medal. Despite insuring a silver medal, the world champion sheds light on the fact that he is a WINNER.

Seeded 8 in the world chain, James Blake was facing Fernando Gonzalez, twice rewarded by gold in Athens 2004. Blake, who earlier knocked Federer off the singles competition, was carried away by the Spanish veteran.

James, who had a long debate with the Brazilian referee, was furious about giving a point in favor of Gonzalez, saying that the ball touched the Spaniard’s racket before going outside the line! Umpire took away Blake’s claimed point, while Gonzalez kept silent about the fact that the yellow had really stroke his clamor, or did not!

Later on after the game, Gonzalez said that he was too tired to notice if the ball had a physical contact with its racket.

Blake replied that this is a sport of gentlemen, and Fernando didn’t act so, adding that if it has happened with him, he would’ve confessed immediately.

Almost being added to the trail and long line of knocked out favorites, Djokovic managed to re-take the lead after losing the 1^st set to Gael Monfils. The win is listed as an expected outcome and anticipated actually in order to meet Rafael Nadal in the semis.

In another game of destiny, the world’s number 2 Nadal over came Jurgen Melzer   6-0  6-4 and moved again in the Beijing’s Olympics, with stability and commandment.

Nadal is showing a great amount of determination and sense of achievement, heading to stay on top of the favorites in China’s games, and willing to take the number 1 rank, out of Federer’s long term reign.

Sports tickets are being sold out for every Nadal’s game, and that, logically speaking, peaks him to be in the finals. Odds and sports betting websites meet with my logic, placing the seeded 2 in LARGE bold characters.
