OLYMPIC WOMEN'S TENNIS : SERENA CHAMPION

Serena Williams has won the gold medal in the women's tennis final beating Maria Sharapova, the Russian blonde, by straight sets 6-0,6-1. It was a hammering for Maria. It took Serena just 63 minutes to overcome the Russian glamor-girl. Sharapova could not put up any resistance, she played like a novice. She managed to win only one game in the whole match.Serena's win has added another gold to America's medal tally. They are having a tight fight with China for the top place in medals. So now Serena is the Olympic women's tennis queen. People are now keenly waiting to watch the men's singles final to be played by Roger Federer, the current world number one, top seed and the winner of the highest number of grand slams in history(17) and Andy Murray, the local boy. Federer is undoubtedly the favorite and his defeat would be an upset. The home fans will definitely be supporting the local boy Murray but I think Federer, who has recently won the Wimbledon, will win the gold. In spite of having won 17 grand slams, Federer is yet to win the Olympic title. and most probably this is and would be his best as well as the last chance to achieve it. So, lets see who wins.
