Weekend's Sports Round-up

It was good to see Manchester United extended their lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League. They won their game against Everton by a solitary goal, scored from the penalty spot by Ronaldo. Last night, Liverpool beat Chelsea to cut Manchester United's lead at the top by two points, but having played an extra game. In the next game, Manchester United will play West Ham at Upton Park.

In Melbourne, Rafael Nadal beat Roger Federer in five sets to win the Australian Open Men's Single title. It was Nadal's five victory over Federer in seven Grand Slam finals. The victory brought Nadal his sixth Grand Slam title (the others are four French Open titles and one Wimbledon title); the only title he has not won is the US Open title. The victory also means Roger Federer is still one short of equalling Pete 'the Pistol' Sampras' record of 14 Grand Slam titles. It is going to be an interesting year for Nadal and I hope that he can complete the Grand Slam this year.

By the way, I am currently off from work for the next three days due to a skin infection that I got.
