Its not easy to find a weakness in Roger Federer, who is seeking an eighth Wimbledon title and an 18th Grand Slam triumph. Francisco Cervelli Jersey . Lets keep this between ourselves for now, but the Wimbledon Diary thinks it might have done just that.So far during The Championships, Federer has been successful with just 12.5 percent of his Hawk-Eye challenges, with just one correct query from the eight times he has called upon the technology. Contrast with his quarterfinal opponent, Croatias Marin Cilic, who has a hit-rate of 61.5 percent during the tournament to date, with eight correct challenges from 13 attempts. Of the eight men left in the singles draw, only one has a lower percentage than Federer -- thats Frenchman Lucas Pouille, who was wrong with all six of his, so is lingering on zero.In Novak Djokovics absence, Andy Murray is the highest seed left in the tournament, but he could also do some work on this part of his game -- he has been successful with 23.1 per cent of his challenges, with three from 13. The overall average for the mens singles so far is 30 percent, with the same number in the womens event, too.Golden Bear spotted in SW19Jack Nicklaus, who has been in the Royal Box for the past couple of days, is more than just a tennis fan. The golfer, who won 18 majors, has previously played some small part in tennis history -- the Williams sisters have been known to practice in the grounds of his Florida home. Nicklaus has three grass courts in his back garden.Serena aces the numbers gameAside from 22, which is how many Grand Slams Serena Williams will have if she lifts the Venus Rosewater Dish on Saturday, theres one number that fascinates her coach Patrick Mouratoglou. That number is 102, which is how many aces Williams served during the 2012 Championships. That was the first Grand Slam that we won together and she served at a higher level than I think anyone in the history of the sport, the Frenchman told the Wimbledon Diary. She served more aces in that tournament than any woman or man -- and you have to remember that the men would have been playing over five sets. Thats crazy. Her serve is just a huge weapon on grass.Passing the Wimbledon smell testUsed tennis balls can be bought from a kiosk outside Centre Court. No doubt a few tennis fans will be sniffing the Slazenger balls before using them at their local courts. Thats inspired by Slovakian Dominika Cibulkova, a quarterfinalist in the womens singles, who successfully identified a ball from each of the four Grand Slams on smell alone. Starling Marte Jersey . Scott won the Australian PGA last week in his first event in Australia since winning the U.S. Masters in April. American Matt Kuchar, ahead by two strokes with four to play and even with Scott with one to go, double-bogeyed the 18th after taking two shots to get out of a bunker. Pirates Jerseys For Sale . Those lessons were more than enough to overwhelm the Utah Jazz. Lou Williams scored 25 points and the Hawks continued their offensive upswing as they rolled to an easy 118-85 victory over the Jazz on Friday night, winning their third straight and for the fourth time in five games. www.piratesjerseyscheap.com/ .25 million option on reliever Jose Veras. The 2016 Little League World Series was filled with big drama: a homer that lifted an ailing moms spirits, a heartfelt father-son handoff on the mound, festive and fun-loving fans. We asked some of the folks who had front-row seats for all the action -- on and off the field -- in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, to weigh in with their favorite LLWS memories.A home run for momMy favorite moment of the 2016 LLWS has to be when I interviewed Iowa first baseman JT Garcias mom, Jen, who is battling pancreatic cancer. She made the trip to Williamsport in between her chemo treatments. As I was asking her about how the team has rallied around her, JT hit a home run to give his team a 4-1 lead over California. It was a magical moment that had the entire section in tears, including me. Believe it or not, its not the first time Ive been interviewing a family member as his or her son hit a home run. This was actually the third time! That said, given the circumstances and the emotion, this was definitely the most special of them all. Its a moment I will never forget, and I hope Jen wins her battle with this horrible disease. --Jaymee SireA game that translates in any languageMy favorite part of the LLWS was seeing how the game of baseball is taught and learned in a variety of ways all over the world. We can all remember how we first learned the game, and to see the development of these boys and girls gave me a real sense of how uniquely this beautiful game is translated in all parts of the world. Yet, many of the results are the same: getting your barrel to meet the ball, throwing a pitch to the outside corner and wearing the biggest grin on your face for no real reason other than you are 11 years old and playing a game that you love. I absolutely enjoyed getting to see and experience my first LLWS! -- Jessica MendozaAn unforgettable father-son exchangeMy favorite moment came during Mondays consolation game between Oregon and Italy. The Oregon coach, Joel Jensen, came out to talk to his pitcher -- who is also his son, Isaiah. Dad started the mound visit by saying, Hey, I love you. It was a touching moment that reminded me very much of coaching my own son, Corey. It was also a great way of cutting through the pressure that goes along with playing at the LLWS on ESPN and in front of a huge crowd. Jensens comment broke through the hoopla and was just a really cool father-and-son moment that Joel and Isaiah will be able to share for the rest of their lives. Gregory Polanco Jersey. -- Jay CrawfordMexicos festive fansThe spirit with which the team from Mexico plays is, in a word, fun. Yes, theyre a powerhouse, and yes, their bats have been hot. Their pitching is among the best here in Williamsport. Its clear: Beisbol courses through their veins. If they feel any pressure, it must be on the inside, because they make it look fun: from the sign the players made and hung in the dugout to remind them of how resilient they are, to the 38-hour drive half their family members took just to get to Williamsport, to the two fans who stand on the hill proudly holding the Mexican flag while their countrymen play. While there are actual brothers on the team -- Patricio and Victor Juarez -- these 14 boys and their coaches are a family. You cant not smile when youre around this team. --Marysol CastroYoure never too old to go over the hillSliding down the hill thats beyond the outfield fence at Lamade Stadium is a ritual unique to the Little League World Series. Kids grab cardboard, throw caution to the wind and slide down at warp speed. My favorite memory of this Little League World Series is not only seeing Tim Kurkjian show Jessica Mendoza how to slide -- and then watch her ignore his advice and go down headfirst twice -- but also witnessing the adventures of Dallas Braden. Dallas treated the cardboard as a skateboard and motored down before nearly meeting disaster, but then he deftly stole another kids cardboard to ride to safety and victory. This tournament is the Little League World Series, but that was a big league maneuver -- and a reminder to all of us to unleash our inner child whenever we can. --Adnan VirkThe kids are all rightMy favorite moment of the LLWS was having two kids from the Kentucky team, Devin Obee and John Guthrie, in the booth for an inning during a consolation game. The kids were remarkably poised, especially Guthrie, who explained, among other things, his interest in stock trading. Devin was very enlightening about being the son of a former NFL player, Terry Obee, and how his father has advised him not to play football until he gets older because its not necessary, or helpful, to play the game at age 12 or younger. We put the kids in a very difficult position, and they handled it beautifully. --Tim Kurkjian NFL Jerseys Wholesale China Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Stitched Jerseys China Jerseys Cheap Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap Jerseys Throwback Cheap NFL Autographed Jerseys ' ' '
