Nadal vs. Federer in Grand tennis Finale
April 23, 2006
If you want to have a look at the est of what modern tennis can offer, be sure not to miss the Monte Carlo final on the Sunday 23th April 2:30pm (GMT+1):
Roger Federer (World number 1) vs Rafael Nadal (World number 2) for their first meeting in a final on clay and a possible preview of the final of the French Open next month.
Nadal should have the advantage as clay is his favourite surface but Federer has been playing great tennis this week with one of his best clay court matches in quarter final.
I predict a 3 sets Federer win, but whatever happens, it should be a great match with the 2 best players of the moment in a total opposition of styles. Enjoy!

You will find some gems there like :
The Houston semi final 2004 between Safin and Federer with one of the most thrilling tie break ever. Won 20-18 by Federer if i remember well.
The amazing win of Richard Gasquet in Monte Carlo quarter final against Federer , saving 3 match points and winning on a superb backend winner. One of the only 4 losses of Federer this year.
One of the best match of 2005 with the semi final between Safin on his way to the title and Federer. Safin was regarded at that time as the only serious challenger for Federer but he has been sadly away from the tennis courts for most of 2005 with a knee injury and has struggled to find his best level again.

The IT crowd highlights

Yes, the show featuring the tribulations of our favorite IT department may be finished , but channel4 has made availabe some highlights of the 6 episodes here . Not that much of an innovative show actually (appart from the fact that it is distributed online before television) compared to the amazing "the office" but the "geek" spirit is quite well captured and the show manages to remain funny even after re viewing it which is already excellent.
So if you are not one of those lucky UK users to access the channel4 site, the torrents selected are here to help:
episode 1 : Yesterday's jam : The first minutes with Jen's interview are just hilarious
episode 5 : The haunting of Bill Crouse
Consider using µTorrent by the way, one of the best torrent client around
