It seems that older champs are on their way out and new ones are entering the tennis arena to repalce them. 

Although Roger Federer won the WImbledon for the seventh time, beating Andy recently, but he is aging now. His semi final match yesterday against Del Potro was almosst a a disaster and it was with much difficulty and firing all his after burners that Federer could finally overpower the Argentinian 3-6, 7-6, 19-17, in what was the longest match of the open era - four hours and 26 minutes.

Novak Djokovic has not been able to make a mark since his Australian Open title earlier this year. He has lost french Open and the Wimbledon and now the Olympic gold race. He may settle down for a bronze, like he did in Beijing 2008. But he too seems to be giving away and running out of steam.

And Rafa - though he did make impressions on the clay, his perofrmance of grass came to a stunning end when he was ousted  fom the Wimbledon - despite being in his best shape after winning the Frnech Open for the seventh time this year. 

Having said this, let us return to Andy, who is shown resilience and determination to face the best of the champions of the time and even defeated the once no.1 just yesterday. Andy had onece remarked that the titles will start slipping from the first few - something that we have started to witness now.

Watch below the match winning point by Andy against Djokovic in the semi final on Friday at the Centre Court, Wimbledon:

We wait and watch the final of the men's singles event of Olympics 2012 and see if andy can muster enough power to take a toll of the aging Federer. If he does so, we will see a wind of change over the tennis arenas of future with new name emerging, bidding farewell to old champs.

Chelsea are Champions

Chelsea stunned Bayern Munich in a dramatic penalty shoot-out at the Allianz Arena to win the Champions League for the first time.

Thomas Mueller's late header put Bayern on the brink of victory on home territory but Didier Drogba levelled things up with a bullet header at the death before coolly converting the decisive spot-kick.

The tournament which gave Chelsea their greatest agony when they lost on penalties to Manchester United four years ago in Moscow has now delivered the greatest glory in their 107-year history.

Juan Mata missed Chelsea's first penalty but David Luiz, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole were all successful. Philipp Lahm, Mario Gomez and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer were all on target for Bayern.

The momentum shifted decisively when Cech denied Ivica Olic and Bastian Schweinsteiger hit the post to leave Chelsea on the brink and present Drogba with his moment of destiny.

Manchester City are Champions

Manchester City scored twice in stoppage time to be crowned champions for the first time in 44 years as they beat Queen's Park Rangers 3-3 to win the Premier League on goal difference from Manchester United.

In scenes of near bedlam, City looked to be suffering a dramatic collapse as QPR - safe after Stoke City drew with Bolton - held on to an unlikely advantage with United leading at Sunderland.

The Etihad was a sky-blue explosion of joy and relief in an outpouring of 44 years of frustration as Aguero wheeled his shirt above his head in celebration and Mancini, who cut an increasingly frantic figure as time ran out, raced on to the pitch - accompanied by backroom staff including Brian Kidd and David Platt - in ecstasy.
