Cover Story
Roger Federer: where does he stand now?
While Roger Federer may not be able to meet stratospheric levels of expectations in the future, there can be little doubt that the Swiss maestro would be able to add a few more Grand Slam titles to his collection, writes Nirmal Shekar.

Cricket
CB SERIES/ AUSTRALIA-INDIA
Lee is all about hostility & control
The young Indian side displayed fight on the field. As the tour progresses, it will have to work on technique and temperament, writes S. Dinakar.
HANSEN VERDICT
Crucial observations
Justice Hansen refers to Symonds’ testimony, where the cricketer himself feels Harbhajan’s behaviour does not merit a level 3.3 offence, before erasing Match Referee Mike Procter’s ruling, writes S. Dinakar.
TWENTY20 MATCH
Over in a jiffy
The Aussie bowlers did the simple things right. They denied the Indian batsmen width and bowled the full length that Twenty20 cricket demands. S. Dinakar reports.
AUSTRALIA TOUR DIARY
Leading by Personal Example
Anil Kumble is happy that his men have put up a fight, given the World Champion a scare. He concedes that with a little luck, the Indians could have done better. He had skippered the side with dignity in stressful situations, writes S. Dinakar.
RANJI TROPHY FINAL
Delhi’s glorious hour
Winning the final inside four days, after conceding a first innings lead to rival UP, demanded high commitment levels. The Delhi captain Gautam Gambhir said he did not have to say much to spark a fightback except provoke pride. Nandakumar Marar reports.

Badminton
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
The depth in talent augurs well
Unlike in the past, there were no clear favourites in Panaji though only Saina Nehwal looked like going through unchallenged. S. R. Suryanarayan reports.

City Lights
Golfing addicts
The Addicts Golfing Society of Southern India, established in 1949, is the oldest active society of its kind in the world.

Football
Capello has no room for Beckham now
If England are to flourish under the Capello regime, they will probably need to be doing well enough to take Beckham’s return off the agenda once and for all, writes Richard Williams.
ENGLISH PREMIERSHIP
Exhilarating contest
Portsmouth has denied last season’s top four at home this season and, once its own contingent returns from Ghana, will continue its pursuit of European qualification with real gusto, writes Dominic Fifield.

Kicking Around
BRIAN GLANVILLE COLUMN
History repeats itself
Angelo Moratti is still almost sanctified at Inter where his son Massimo is now in charge and free from accusations.
