For the first time since 1992, six Brits qualified for a Grand slam tournament, and two of the six were women under the age of twenty. Any elation was short-lived, however, as five out of the six were eliminated during the first round.

So, this leaves Andy Murray as our only hope of shining in the Australian Open. He has just beaten his first opponent, and many commentators seem to think that he is capable of going all the way, although some still feel that Roger Federer could deprive him of the chance of winning.

Fingers crossed, then, that Murray proves he is capable of winning the tournament.

After their victory over Manchester City yesterday, it has been announced today that Steve Gerrard has renewed his contract with his club. Steven Gerrard made his first team début at Liverpool FC fourteen years ago, although he has been signed to the club since he was eight years of age. Today, he has signed another new long-term contract with the club that are obviously anxious not to let him go. They have also offered him an ambassadorial role at the club for when he retires, meaning that he may make it through the whole of his career only working for one club. Whoever said that no-one has a job for life anymore?

Sunderland went to Chelsea yesterday in hope of not repeating their 7-2 loss last season and the slim chance of gaining a point from the match. Chelsea started brightly but Sunderland looked to take control of the game close to half time. Nedum Onuoha danced through the Chelsea defence to guide home a scruffy shot that made the half time team talk more interesting for both managers. Sunderland came out for the 2nd half in confident mood and soon made it 2-0, Asamoah Gyan sliding the ball past Petr Cech with 52 minutes played. As the game went on it soon became clear that Chelsea weren’t getting back into the game, and to compound their worries Sunderland made it 3-0 when a poor pass from Ashley Cole let in Danny Welbeck to ensure that all 3 points went to Wearside.

Rafael Nadal secured a win over Novak Djokovic last night to claim the US Open title. The win meant Nadal is only the seventh man in history to complete a set of Grand Slam titles winning Wimbledon, French, Australian and US Opens. Djokovic record over Nadal on hard court is seven matches to three but Nadal’s ability to step up his game in major finals meant that the match would always be an uphill battle for Djokovic. Nadal won the match by three sets to one following a two hour rain break in the second set which enabled Djokovic to level the match at one set all.
