Seven-up Federer shatters Murray\'s Wimbledon dream

Roger Federer won a record-equalling seventh Wimbledon title and 17th Grand Slam crown Sunday, shattering tearful Andy Murray's dream of ending Britain's 76-year wait for an All England Club men's champion. Switzerland's Roger Federer kisses the trophy after his men's singles final victory over Britain's Andy Murray on day 13 of the 2012 Wimbledon Championships tennis tournament at the All England Tennis Club in Wimbledon, southwest London.Federer, playing in his eighth Wimbledon final and 24th Grand Slam championship match, won 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 to join Pete Sampras and William Renshaw as a seven-time champion. The Swiss great, who has also regained the world number one ranking, is just the third man over 30 to win Wimbledon following Rod Laver in 1969 and Arthur Ashe in 1975. Murray, 25, bidding to be the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936 to win Wimbledon, has now lost all four Grand Slam finals in which he has appeared. "It equals me with Pete Sampras, who's my hero, so it feels amazing," said Federer, whose last Wimbledon title was in 2009 and was without a major since the 2010 Australian Open. "It feels great being back here as the winner. I think I played some of my best tennis in the last couple of matches. I couldn't be more happy." Federer, who dominated the final after the Centre Court roof was shut early in the third set, admitted he had felt the sense of occasion with Murray chasing down history. "Today was unique because of playing Andy. Obviously, being able to play or finish a match under the roof, I don't think that's ever been done before here for a final. I know the occasion and how big it was for Andy and myself." Murray, the first British man to reach a Wimbledon final since Bunny Austin in 1938, broke down in tears at the closing ceremony, delivering his speech but faltering on numerous occasions. "I'm getting closer," said an emotional Murray, who had to gather himself before continuing. "I'm going to try this but it won't be easy. Firstly I'd like to congratulate Roger. I was asked the other day if this is my best chance? Roger's 30. He's not bad for a 30-year-old." In the opening exchanges of this eagerly-anticipated final, Murray was the stronger player, making the most of his five-year advantage as Federer looked fatigued and ragged. However, once the £80 million roof was shut the momentum shifted and Federer stormed into the ascendancy. With the Duchess of Cambridge, sister Pippa Middleton, Australian great Rod Laver, British Prime Minister David Cameron and even the Beckhams looking on from the Royal Box, it was the Briton who started the stronger. Murray, defeated by Federer in the 2008 US Open and 2010 Australian Open finals without winning a set, broke in the first game when an uncharacteristic nervy Swiss ballooned a drive volley and that break was backed up by a hold. Federer held and retrieved the break before Murray survived two break points in the eighth game. He broke to lead 5-4 as Federer netted a forehand having had to take evasive action to avoid a Murray forehand missile. The Scot then wrapped up the opener -- it was the first set Murray had won in his three Grand Slam finals, with Federer's 16 unforced errors to his opponent's five proving key. Murray saved a break point in the second game of the second set while Federer, the first 30-year-old in the final since Jimmy Connors in 1984, saved two in the fifth. The two men served a pair of love games as Federer led 4-3 while Murray wasted two break points in the ninth game as the six-time champion clung on for a 5-4 advantage. The Briton again served a love game for 5-5. But Federer held and suddenly carved out a set point with a magical drop volley in the 12th game which caused Murray to push a lob long. Another immaculate drop volley off his toes gave him the set 7-5. At 1-1 and 40-0 for Federer in the third, heavy rain drove the players off court for 40 minutes and the roof was closed. In a dramatic sixth game, which lasted 20 minutes and went to 10 deuces, Murray took three tumbles to the ground, surrendered a 40-0 lead and Federer broke on a sixth break point for a 4-2 lead. A ninth ace of the contest gave Federer the set 6-3 and a two sets to one lead. Suddenly, the life and vibrancy seeped out of Murray. He felt his lower back, Victoria Beckham looked even more sombre, and the Scot slipped 3-2 down off a killer, crosscourt backhand drive. A 12th ace in the 10th game took Federer to two match points, the first of which was saved but Murray went wide on a forehand to hand Federer victory. Tourist Vietnam

I\'m not done yet, Wimbledon champ Serena warns

Serena Williams celebrates with her women's singles trophy, the Venus Rosewater Dish, on the clubhouse balcony after the final victory over Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska on Day 12 of the 2012 Wimbledon Championships at the All England Tennis Club in Wimbledon, southwest London, on July 7. Williams won 6-1, 5-7, 6-2. (AFP Photo/Miguel Medina) Serena Williams has warned her rivals that her emotional fifth Wimbledon title will act as a springboard for even greater glory as she aims to make up for the worst period of her life. Just two years ago Serena should have been on top of the world after winning Wimbledon for the fourth time, but instead the American was at her lowest ebb after a series of freak health problems left her battling for her life. The trouble started when she needed 18 stitches and then surgery after stepping on broken glass in a Munich restaurant. Worse was to come as she suffered life-threatening blood clots on her lungs and, as she lay on a couch with tubes poking from her body to aid her recovery, Serena was convinced her career at the top was over. But, showing the ferocious will-power that marked her rise to prominence, Williams gradually battled back to full health and capped a remarkable revival on Saturday with a 6-1, 5-7, 6-2 victory over Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska in the Wimbledon final. "Every title is special, but this one is definitely super-special because it's a huge comeback for me," she said after her first Grand Slam triumph since the illness. "There was a moment I just remember I was on the couch and I didn't leave it for two days. I was praying, like I can't take any more. I've endured enough. "I was just so tired at that point. I had a tube in my stomach and it was draining constantly. "Gosh, I mean, right before that I had the blood clot. I had lung problems, then I had two foot surgeries. I felt like I didn't do anything to bring on that. It was the lowest of lows. "But I didn't give up. I came back and winning is amazing because last year I was ranked almost 200. It's been an unbelievable journey for me." Serena's 14th Grand Slam crown underlined her credentials as the sport's pre-eminent force and, at an age when many players are entering the twilight of their career, the 30-year-old has no intention of resting on her laurels. "It's Wimbledon, I've wanted to win here so bad," she said. "Oh, my gosh, I still can't believe I was able to come through and win my seven matches. "It hasn't sunk in. That's the difference to the wins I had in the past. Usually it sinks in fast. "It's the beginning of a great phase. I feel amazing out there. This whole tournament I felt really great physically. So I think it's definitely the beginning of something great. "There's the US Open, the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon 2013..." Serena has now equalled sister Venus's tally of five Wimbledon titles and the next All England Club legend in her sights is Bille Jean King, who won the tournament six times, with the chance to catch German great Steffi Graf on seven titles another motivation. "I don't see why not. I have never felt better. This whole tournament I have pretty much been injury free," Williams added. If Serena continues serving with the kind of sustained accuracy and power she showed at Wimbledon -- the world number four eventually finished with 102 aces after hitting 17 against Radwanska -- her dream of dominating women's tennis again could well come true. "My serve really helped me throughout this tournament. I can't describe why it was so good or how it was so good. It's not like I practice it that much. I just had the rhythm," she said. And if she ever has cause to doubt herself during a match, there is no question what memory will spur her on to greater heights. "I didn't just stay there when I was down. I got up," she said. "That's what you got to do sometimes. I got up and I started." Tourist Vietnam

Construction sector experiences downturn

State-owned construction firms performed poorly in the first six months of the year, with unfinished projects and slow growth compared to last year. Gloomy outlook for construction sector The Ministry of Construction said in a report that both construction and consumption of materials are down because of cuts in Government investment. According to the report, due to high inventories, many companies have had to cut production to avoid further losses. For example, there were 9.6 tonnes of cement produced in the last six months, 37.8% of the initial plan, but 0.4 tonnes are sitting idle in inventories. Construction glass 62.9% of the production goal was met, but 2.6 million square metres are still in stock. Tile production reached 33% of what was planned, but 2.6 million square metres lie in stock. Building construction was at 59% of the same period last year because of a lack of investment capital. The ministry reported that a number of companies did not follow the business plans they had registered, investing less than claimed. For example, Vietnam Cement Industry Corporation invested only 6.3% of its investment plan, Vietnam Fitted Lilama invested 12.9% and Bach Dang Construction Corporation invested just 13.2%. The ministry has requested that construction companies focus on the problems facing them in order to better the situation for the remainder of the year, specifically restructuring debts, changing high-interest short-term debts to long-term ones with less interest, and focusing on core business activities. Other goals include reorganising management and financial system to establish large subsidiaries, raise registered capital and avoid competition among subsidiaries of the same group. Tourist Vietnam

Ca Mau prostitution rings disguised as coffee shops

Some coffee shops in the southern province of Ca Mau, advertising themselves as 'special cafes', are fronts for brothels. A "special coffee" shop in Ca Mau City Nearly ten of these cafes can be seen along Nguyen Trai Street, Ward 9 of Ca Mau City. From the outside they look like regular businesses with just a few motorbikes parked out front. But in fact they have large parking areas inside. When the reporter visited such an establishment in Ward 9, at around 7pm, he saw around seven customers waiting to be served by the 'waitresses', who were sitting on their laps. Customers range from students to workers to husbands, said one employee. As best as the reporter could tell, most of the waitresses were aged between 30 and 50. The price for a cup of coffee and some attention from the waitresses was about VND50,000-70,000 (USD2.38-3.33). For more inclusive services the rates go up. That night the reporter saw four customers within two hours, who went to nearby guest houses. Recently the police have been paying more attention to these coffee shops, especially in Ward 9, catching a number of sex workers. These establishments use a number of tricks to get around prosecution. Many of the workers are only under verbal contract, so that, in the case of inspection, the owners can say that the waitresses are not actual employees. Penalties for running such a business range from just VND100,000-VND300,000 (USD4.76-14.28), so many of the workers continue after being caught. Vietnam tours

Vietnam supports greater efforts for East Sea peace

As an ASEAN member, Vietnam will join efforts with other ASEAN nations to help maintain peace and stability in the region, said spokesperson Luong Thanh Nghi at the Foreign Ministry's regular press briefing in Hanoi on July 5. Spokesperson Luong Thanh Nghi Regarding Vietnam's stance on disputes in the East Sea within the framework of the upcoming ASEAN Ministerial Meeting (AMM) and the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) in Cambodia, Nghi affirmed that peace, stability, maritime security and safety in the East Sea is an issue of common concern to ASEAN as well as other countries in the region and the world. ASEAN's common stance is to deal with disputes in the East Sea based on respecting international laws, especially the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and in the spirit of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC). In response to media questions about the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) recognising Vietnam's market economy status and kick starting negotiations on a free trade agreement (FTA) with the Southeast Asian economy, Nghi said the EFTA's recognition, including Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Liechtenstein, is a step forward in trade relations and a possible FTA between Vietnam and the EFTA in the future. It will serve as a foundation for expanding multifaceted cooperation between the two sides as equal partners. Recognition by the EFTA once again shows the international community's positive support for Vietnam's renewal (Doi Moi) process, as well as its socialist-oriented market economy and active international integration, Nghi added.
