Even jokers can become acesWimbledon marked Novak Djokovic's fifth win in as many tournament finals this year over defending champion Rafael Nadal. The victor of the 125th Championships was superior in movement, better of anticipation and more daring than the vanquished. It was a childhood dream realised for the Serb, a scenario sweetened further by his ascension to the summit of the tennis world at the expense of the displaced Nadal. Over to Kunal Diwan.
ROW OVER RUNNER BANThe International Cricket Council, at its meeting in Hong Kong recently, took some tough decisions that are expected to have a major bearing on the game. By Vijay Lokapally. BARBADOS TEST/INDIA V WEST INDIES Gritty Windies holds fort Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni had set the West Indies a tantalising target of 281 in a minimum of 83 overs. The host survived barely, thanks to a determined effort from batsman Darren Bravo, reports S. Dinakar.
Umpiring: the standard has come down Dhoni has been in the thick of things for the wrong reasons and for one known to possess immense poise and restraint, his candid statements about umpiring are enough indications that something needs to be done.

Over to Brian Glanville. Too many suitors for Enrique Jose Enrique has developed into one of the finest prospects in the English game and his future has been the subject of increasing speculation in recent months. With just 12 months left on the five-year deal he initially signed, the Magpies fear losing Enrique for nothing next summer and could be tempted to cash in for the right price. By Tom Wright.
Team work at its bestWhat separated Chennai Spikers from the rest was its ability to rise to the occasion. Overcoming a dismal start in the first leg in Bangalore, the Chennai outfit meant business in the next three legs to log 35 points and bag the top honours. V. V. Subrahmanyam reports.
