2014



It has been a long time since I last posted something on my blog. Since I haven’t posted anything here in the year of 2014, it’s probably a great opportunity to talk about myself and the direction of this blog. I don’t think I have introduced myself here. My name is Zhe Xu. (I know it’s hard to pronounce!) I’m a Malaysian, currently studying in the US. The reason I started this blog in 2011 is to share the information I know and to voice out my analyses or opinions towards any issues. I’m a person who loves to talk. So perhaps blogging is the right platform to express my thoughts.

As you can see, I posted a lot of random stuff on my blog since the first day I started blogging. Most of the posts here are heavily related to sports. Some posts related to aviation and aerospace, some related to my personal experiences, and occasionally a few involving politics and government. I would not change much of what I had done here. What I’m looking forward to do this year is to update my blog more frequently. Perhaps some short posts or stories to keep this blog updating.

I’m fully aware that the writings I produced are not the best. But think again, isn’t this the whole aim of blogging? The opportunity to write and learn every day? So, I hope whoever is reading this right now, regardless of which part of the world are you from, will enjoy the information/materials I shared here. Enjoy your reading! Thank You!

My 2014 World Cup Team of the Tournament

It's the end of the World Cup season, the time to look back at this year’s tournament. So, here is my 2014 World Cup Team of the Tournament. I elect to go for a 3-5-2 formation, which is formation that got the results for teams like Netherlands, Mexico, and Costa Rica who did well at this year’s tournament. GK: Manuel Neuer (Germany) He’s definitely one of the best goalkeepers right now. A well-deserved Golden Glove award to add to his resume. Neuer has the skills and intelligence that most goalkeepers in the world doesn’t possesed. The awareness to know when to come out from his line to make those saves. The sharpness to make incredible saves and the good ball distribution technique that help facilitate the German team. CB: Mats Hummels (Germany) He’s definitely one of the world’s best defenders right now and the performance he put on in this World Cup certainly justified that. He is a guy that is able to able to contribute defensively and offensively for the team, scori...

Federer's Quest for Another Major

Roger Federer, arguably one of the best that has ever played the sport. But on Friday, Federer was shockingly knocked out by Andreas Seppi of Italy in the third round of the Australian Open. An opponent whom Federer has never lost in the previous 10 meetings. A player who has only manage to win only one single set out of the 10 matches they played together made this defeat even more miserable for Federer. Perhaps this defeat was even shocking the fact that he started off the year brightly by beating Milos Raonic, a top 10 ranked player in the world to win the Brisbane title. Despite not winning any majors in 2013, he ended the year with a great note by winning the Davis Cup, ATP titles wins in Basel and Shanghai and reaching the finals of the ATP Tour Finals. Everything seems to look great for Federer leading up to the Australian Open until the lost. The four majors are always the platform where top players bring their A game to the courts. But believe or not, losing in the...

2014 US Open Predictions

We are just exactly a week away from the last major of the year, the US Open happening in New York. It’s time to make some predictions for this year’s tournament.  * A wildcard pick which is for a player that might surprise us at this year’s tournament whom is still in search for the first major of their career. Men’s Singles Champion: Novak Djokovic (Serbia) I gave a long thought on who’s the favorite to win the men’s title. I know he’s not the player in form following early round exits at Toronto and Cincinnati. But when it comes to grand slam tournaments, he’s the most consistent player over the past few years and his record at the US Open is certainly impressive. He had made at least a semi-final appearance at Flushing Meadows since 2007. Wildcard: Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (France) The victory at Toronto will definitely be a confidence boost for the Frenchman. Just his only second ATP 1000 series title victory since 2008, this could be the turning point of his career. His ...
