There wasn’t a better tennis player on the planet from 2004-2007. He’ll go down as one of the best three ever to wield a racquet, and likely tie Pete Sampras for the Grand Slam record this year.

most arab countries, if not all, don't celebrate valentines day. however, due to the number of expats here (westerns & asians), it's very inevitable to see displays of romantic stuffs like valentine cards, flowers, heart balloons and sweets on supermarkets and malls. it's actually a good sign that this country could allow us to embrace once again one of our traditions as Catholics. some countries
