INTERVIEW/MONICA SELES A different personality now “Definitely, as a former player, when I watch I'd like the best players to play against each other. That's where you see the highest level of tennis being played. The Australian Open was great.”
Easy on the hypeA haul of six gold medals is, no doubt, praiseworthy. But it isn't time to celebrate yet, for tougher challenges lie ahead for the Indian boxers. By Y. B. Sarangi.
Goobbye Beckham David Beckham's untimely injury will at least terminate Fabio Capello's long affliction of what one calls Beckhamitis, writes Brian Glanville.
