Another Medal to Tendulkar's Close-to-Collapsing Trophy Cabinet


Two sports-related posts in one day? I must be growing up.

Sachin Tendulkar adds another badge to his bulky shoulder as his wax statue will be unveiled in Madame Tussaud's Museum as a tribute to his excellent career.

Except his statue really looks nothing like him.

It's also a pity that Tussaud's took so long to get his wax replica ready when people with considerable less talent and wholesomely sky-rocketing amounts of arrogance (read: Aishwarya Rai) were given this honour a long time ago.\

Eh. Where's the justice?

Off the Meat Market


Roger Federer married his longtime girlfriend, who he also knocked up, on Saturday in Switzerland (where else?). He announced the news on his website that he (27) and Miroslava “Mirka” Vavrinec (31) are currently prancing about in wedded bliss. Mirka used to be one of the top 100 tennis players in the world before she retired due to injury and became Federer's manager, cheerleader and partner all rolled into one.

Now, I know I'm supposed to be happy for them and their pending parenthood, but why? Why, God?! What have I ever done to you?? WHY???

From People magazine:

Roger Federer is officially off the singles market. The tennis champ announced on his Web site that he married longtime girlfriend and former WTA tennis player Miroslava “Mirka” Vavrinec in Switzerland on Saturday.

“Earlier today, in my hometown of Basel, surrounded by a small group of close friends and family, Mirka and I got married. It was a beautiful spring day and an incredibly joyous occasion,” Federer, wrote on his blog. “Mr. and Mrs. Roger Federer wish all of you a Happy Easter weekend.”

Last month, Federer, winner of 13 Grand Slam singles titles revealed that he and Mirka are expecting their first child this summer. The couple met while at the 2000 Sydney Olympics where they both represented Switzerland.

Excuse me while I go express my anguish into my pillow...
