1st: UAAP Season 70 match UST vs. UE.
It's the first game of UST for this new season and it just so happen that they'll try to win against UE, a very competitive team. Since UST lost 2 of it's key players, Jojo Duncil and Alan Evangelista because of age issues..the team this year will try to defend it's title against 7 university rivals, including DLSU this year. It will be a tough season talaga..especially that UST will defend it's title and at the same time the host school..it puts a lot of pressure for the varsity players, I suppose. Game will start at 4:00pm which will be held at the Cuneta Astrodome. Sayang nga kasi hindi ako makakapanood ng game..ang layo kasi nung venue..dun sa part ng Roxas Boulevard pa. Siguro kung sa Araneta Coliseum or sa Ultra, okei lang..but in Cuneta Astrodome..never mind! I'll just watch over the television..there will be a much clearer view. I'm really excited to watch this game..finally I can see Dylan on TV. (as if naman nagsawa na akong makita siya personally..hehe)
Go USTe..Go Dylan! (.^__^.)
2nd: Wimbledon Finals: Roger Federer vs. Rafael Nadal
This will be a very good match to watch, can't afford to miss it. Again Roger Federer's nemesis Rafael Nadal will try to win the Wimbledon title for the 2nd time. But for Roger Federer's part..it will be his 5th consecutive win on Wimbledon if ever he'll win. Of course he'll win..I'm really praying for that. Actually, nakakainis kasi lagi nalang si Nadal yung gustong i-challenge si Federer sa finals..wala bang ibang opponent diyan..medyo dangerous challenger kasi si Rafa! Everytime they're playing for the title, I'm having second thoughts if Federer will win..Rafa is really driven to win. Last time at French Open (clay) Rafa won leaving Federer at the runner-up place, but now it will be a different story. RFed will win..I'm sure!Oh, by the way, another reason why I can't afford to miss this finals match is the opportunity to see Roger playing..he's really awesome! He really looks good..I usually scream for joy whenever I see him..he's good..he soo handsome too! (.^__^.)

ATP - ROGER STILL ON COURSE FOR HISTORY
Roger is just one step away from his fifth Wimbledon title! He will meet Rafael Nadal in tomorrow's men's singles after defeating Richard Gasquet 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 today.
At first, Gasquet showed no ill-effects of last night's thrilling five-set victory over third seed Andy Roddick. Seeking to keep alive his bid for a record-equalling fifth straight title, Roger had to save three break points to keep his nose in front in bright sunshine on Centre Court. But our star raised his game when it mattered most to break Gasquet in the 12th game of the set to take it 7-5.Watched by Bjorn Borg, the man whose record he is aiming to equal, Roger clearly took heart from that hard-fought success and it began to look ominous for his 21-year-old opponent, making his debut in a grand slam semi-final.
Gasquet had to call for a medical time-out after the second set to receive treatment on his left ankle. It did not appear initially appear to be too serious, especially when he produced a running forehand winner which had Roger raising his eyes skyward in disbelief, but the latter star responded with six aces in his next two service games to remain on level terms at 3-3.
Roger is now more than ready to equal the record of Bjorn Borg and claim his fifth consecutive Wimbledon title.
"Never, ever - and I think the same for him - did we think we were going to win Wimbledon so many times," said Roger of Borg, who was watching from the Royal Box today.
"Now I'm in the position to equal his great record. I saw him sitting there today, thank God only in the second set so I could concentrate on the first set first. It is tricky when you see 
him sitting there because he is a living legend. It is a boost, but it can also be a negative thing if you put too much pressure on yourself. In the end you've got to block it out, whoever is sitting there. I have so much respect for him that it is great that he's here. I hope I can do the job tomorrow."

Djokovic explained a blister sustained during his win over Baghdatis had become infected, and painful enough to make him seriously consider whether to take to the court at all.
"I didn't sleep during the night because there was a lot of bleeding and I was barely walking this morning," he said. Djokovic was forced to retire at 4-1 down in the third set.
Oh, poor Djokovic..I really want him to win against Nadal. Actually, my next favorite tennis player after Federer is Djokovic..he's soo good to! (.^__^.)
