An Age for Sport Lovers....

Just a few hours after Roger won his 14th Grand Slam and that too the French Open( more on that in coming days!!!!) to tie the Sampras's record of 14 Slams, a certain Stanford alumni scripted a sensational comeback to win yet another golf tournament, this one, the prestigious Memorial. If you are not into golf the first person you would have still guessed must have been Tiger and you are damn right!!!



If a poll is conducted by sports lovers across all ages and across all generations, to choose the best sporting era, the present one would win hands down....

If you think Roger and Tiger are the only 2 reasons for that then go ahead and finish this article....
Yes every era has athletes who raise the bar to new level, who challenge themselves to scale peaks which have never been scaled before, but this era is different..



Jack's record looked invincible till Tiger came along, Federer and Nadal have been more dominant than even Andre and Pete or Borg and Mcnroe were together..., Sachin is irreplaceable and so would be his records...



Lightning never strikes twice and it will take years before some one like Usain Bolt emerges again, Phelps has reached where no swimmer ever reached,Yelena Gadzhievna Isinbaeva has literally scaled new heights in every single tournament she has entered, Tom Brady is no Dan Marino but he is not very far from that either.. Lebron maynot be Jordan when it comes to winning titles or finishing but the way he has progressed who says he might end up better than him when he retires in another 15 years!!!.....and i have not even included Michael Schumacher and Lance Armstrong the most decorated athletes of this generation...!!!!!


Phew!! I never thought i might come up with these many names when i started this article about 2 hours back...but hell yeah this sure is the greatest sporting era of all time...



We are lucky to be part of this era, and for a sport fanatic like me this quote from Lebron James sums it all up

" I'm just thankful for every day that I wake up."
