After 15 days of exciting tennis, the last match of the last Grand Slam tournament of the year has been concluded. Of course, the new US Open Men&amp;#39;s Singles Champion between two first-time Grand Slam finalists has been crowned. It was No.14 seed &lt;a href="http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Top-Players/Marin-Cilic.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Marin Cilic&lt;/a&gt;, who defeated No.10 seed &lt;a href="http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Top-Players/Kei-Nishikori.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Kei Nishikori&lt;/a&gt; convincingly in straight sets 6-3|6-3|6-3. Did I predicted it right? My pick for &lt;a href="/2014/09/2014-us-open-mens-singles-championship-preview.html" target="_blank"&gt;2014 US Open Men&amp;#39;s Singles Champion&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;

And the 2014 US Open Women&amp;#39;s Singles Champion has been crowned! And it is defending champion, world No.1, and now, the holder of 18 Grand Slam titles, &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/9044/title/serena-williams" target="_blank"&gt;Serena Williams&lt;/a&gt;. The No.1 seed did it in a convincing passion. Did anyone thought Williams would choke? Did anyone bet &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/12631/title/caroline-wozniacki" target="_blank"&gt;Caroline Wozniacki&lt;/a&gt; could conquer New York and her best friend Williams? Did anyone expected the results right from the start of the tournament? Did I predicted it right?

Surprise! Surprise! Did you see it coming? Of course, no. I guess the bets were on the No.1 seed &lt;a href="http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Top-Players/Novak-Djokovic.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Novak Djokovic&lt;/a&gt; and No.2 seed &lt;a href="http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Top-Players/Roger-Federer.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Roger Federer&lt;/a&gt;. But who would have thought that 2014 US Open final is set between two first-timers and surprise finalists? Yes, the title bout is a battle between No.10 seed &lt;a href="http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Top-Players/Kei-Nishikori.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Kei Nishikori&lt;/a&gt; and No.14 seed &lt;a href="http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Top-Players/Marin-Cilic.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Marin Cilic&lt;/a&gt;. It has been a dream run for both of them and now they are starting to believe that they win a Grand Slam title. But only one will be crowned as champion. Who will it be?&lt;/div&gt;

The 2014 US Open Women&amp;#39;s Doubles Championship has been concluded. But not everybody who are rooting someone to win will celebrate. In fact, the No.4 seed pairing of &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/10895/title/ekaterina-makarova" target="_blank"&gt;Ekaterina Makarova&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/10548/title/elena-vesnina" target="_blank"&gt;Elena Vesnina&lt;/a&gt; won the doubles championship, their second Grand Slam doubles title, over unseeded pairing of &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/3491/title/martina-hingis" target="_blank"&gt;Martina Hingis&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/6578/title/flavia-pennetta" target="_blank"&gt;Flavia Pennetta&lt;/a&gt;. Thus, denying Hingis to capture another Grand Slam title since 2002 Australian Open with &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/4285/title/anna-kournikova" target="_blank"&gt;Anna Kournikova&lt;/a&gt;. Though there could only be one champion, Hingis&amp;#39; journey to competitive tennis has been great. Did I predicted it right? My pick for &lt;a href="/2014/09/2014-us-open-womens-doubles-championship-preview.html" target="_blank"&gt;2014 US Open Women&amp;#39;s Doubles Champion&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;

And here they are. The current and the former world No.1 players booked a spot to 2014 US Open finale and will contest for the title and the biggest paycheck US Open can give. No.10 seed &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/12631/title/caroline-wozniacki" target="_blank"&gt;Caroline Wozniacki&lt;/a&gt; will take on defending champion and No.1 seed &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/9044/title/serena-williams" target="_blank"&gt;Serena Williams&lt;/a&gt;. Wozniacki will try to breakthrough as a Grand Slam champion while Williams will try to add another Grand Slam trophy to her 17 collections and make it 18.&lt;/div&gt;

It is very rare I write or feature a doubles match in this blog. Actually this is the first time I will feature it. Maybe because of one player, that is, my personal favorite of mine, former Grand Slam Champion and former world No.1, Hall of Famer &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/3491/title/martina-hingis" target="_blank"&gt;Martina Hingis&lt;/a&gt;. Yes, the main reason is because of her. I was quite surprise that she enters 2014 US Open as an unseeded team partnering &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/6578/title/flavia-pennetta" target="_blank"&gt;Flavia Pennetta&lt;/a&gt;. I tried to see their progress. They upset great teams en route to their first Slam final together against No.4 seeds &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/10895/title/ekaterina-makarova" target="_blank"&gt;Ekaterina Makarova&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/10548/title/elena-vesnina" target="_blank"&gt;Elena Vesnina&lt;/a&gt;. Can Hingis/Pennetta partnership add another Slam trophy to their cabinet?&lt;/div&gt;

The last Grand Slam tournament of the season has always been an exciting one, not only it gives us fantastic matches, but interesting storylines. When 128 players were battling out for a spot in every rounds, dark horses appeared on top. But Grand Slam events are champions forte, it doesn&amp;#39;t guarantee you a title. In fact, big names fall before the final four has been completed. With No.2 seed &lt;a href="http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Top-Players/Roger-Federer.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Roger Federer&lt;/a&gt; taking on No.14 seed &lt;a href="http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Top-Players/Marin-Cilic.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Marin Cilic&lt;/a&gt; and No.1 seed &lt;a href="http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Top-Players/Novak-Djokovic.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Novak Djokovic&lt;/a&gt; will take on No.10 seed &lt;a href="http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Top-Players/Kei-Nishikori.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Kei Nishikori&lt;/a&gt;. Who will emerge victorious and guarantee its spot to the finale?&lt;/div&gt;

The &lt;a href="http://www.usopen.org/index.html" target="_blank"&gt;2014 US Open&lt;/a&gt; offered us the most compelling season we&amp;#39;ve seen for the year. The last Grand Slam tournament of the season gave us some inspiring stories from upsets to breakthroughs, let us witnessed the future of women&amp;#39;s tennis, and also dreams never too late to come true. It has been a tournament of the season, as the slump revives its hunger, only four players are hungrier to take the US Open women&amp;#39;s title. With No.10 seed &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/12631/title/caroline-wozniacki" target="_blank"&gt;Caroline Wozniacki&lt;/a&gt; will take on first-time and unseeded semifinalist &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/6355/title/shuai-peng" target="_blank"&gt;Peng Shuai&lt;/a&gt; and defending champion and No.1 seed &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/9044/title/serena-williams" target="_blank"&gt;Serena Williams&lt;/a&gt; will take on No.17 seed &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/10895/title/ekaterina-makarova" target="_blank"&gt;Ekaterina Makarova&lt;/a&gt;.

The 2013 ATP Race heats up as 10 contenders are battling it out for the remaining four spots to qualify for the 2013 ATP World Tour Finals in London. With two ATP 500 tournaments scheduled this week, eight of the 10 contenders will have a huge chance to grab a very important and critical points. Four of the eight contenders are playing at 2013 Davidoff Swiss Indoors and the other four at 2013 Valencia Open. The draws are out and I will make a preview on who will gain a momentum and strengthen his qualifications going to London.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://thenumbercracker.blogspot.com/2013/10/2013-atp-race-to-london-battle-heats-up.html#more"&gt;More about this post?

I am checking my e-mails when I received an update from one of my online account, the &lt;a href="https://www.elance.com/?rid=1NJNZ" target="_blank"&gt;Elance&lt;/a&gt;. Of course, I checked what the mail was all about. They just delivered news to their subscribers regarding the Elance&amp;#39;s new features that every freelancer would find very interesting.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
One of the features that catches my attention was their blog where its latest post was presented in infographics. Infographics really encourages me to read. And I&amp;#39;m amazed how the significant and the important information are presented visually and coherently. Thus, it challenges me to try such thing. Well, I tried but too far from perfect... I really need to study to pull it off.&lt;/div&gt;

And it comes down to two. The top two players in the world advanced to the 2013 US Open finals and will battle it out for the coveted title at Flushing Meadows.

The 2013 US Open, the last Grand Slam tournament of the season has only few days left before its conclusion. The 128 players in the women&amp;#39;s draw has been trimmed down to its final four who will battle out its place into the championship round.

The 2012 WTA Championships at Istanbul had been concluded, but as everybody expected No.3 seed &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/9044/title/serena-williams" target="_blank"&gt;Serena Williams&lt;/a&gt; came out on top at the expense of No.2 seed &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/9499/title/maria-sharapova" target="_blank"&gt;Maria Sharapova&lt;/a&gt;. Though she haven&amp;#39;t ended the year ranked No.1 player of this season, but she clinched this year&amp;#39;s huge and most coveted title, namely, the Wimbledon, the US Open, the Gold Medal at the Olympics, and most recently, the 2012 WTA Championships. Did I predicted it right? My pick for &lt;a href="/2012/10/2012-teb-bnp-paribas-wta-championships-preview.html" target="_blank"&gt;2012 TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships Champion&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Since her sole first-round exit of her career in Grand Slam tournaments at this year&amp;#39;s French Open, losing to &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/7082/title/virginie-razzano" target="_blank"&gt;Virginie Razzano&lt;/a&gt;, Williams has gone 31-1 with her sole defeat at the hands of &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/10768/title/angelique-kerber" target="_blank"&gt;Angelique Kerber&lt;/a&gt; in the quarterfinals of Cincinnati. Williams finished her 2012 season with 58-4 win-loss record, winning her third WTA Championships and the oldest player to do so at age 31.&lt;/div&gt;

I&amp;#39;m thinking a second thought about it, but it so happened that I get there and I&amp;#39;m the one to say that I tend to believe it. It is one of those experiences that you want to have once in your life. It is one of those things that you can&amp;#39;t buy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In my opinion, encyclopedias, archives, or any information that you can find online can&amp;#39;t give you a definite answer what love is or how love can be defined. That maybe because people who are into it can&amp;#39;t find any words to express or describe what the feeling is all about. But one thing is for sure, it is an indescribable feeling.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I&amp;#39;m interested on every one’s love stories, from their happy beginnings to their happy endings or from happy beginnings to their bitter and untold endings. I am not a love adviser or counselor, but I am curious about on what people can say about these things.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://thenumbercracker.blogspot.com/2012/10/surviving-pain-of-broken-relationship.html#more"&gt;More about this post?

In this self-version of draw analysis, I will pick who I think will be 2012 TEB BNP Paribas WTA Champion.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The 2012 TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships at Istanbul hosting for the 2nd year will be more interesting. As the top 8 contenders have reached semifinals or better at the Grand Slam tournaments &#151; five of those are title holders (with 22 titles between them) and two are finalists.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Such strong contenders, expect the exciting and quality matches that these players will be offered to us, and of course, the drama. The top 8 players vying for the title to be crowned as 2012 WTA Champion are No.1 &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/11289/title/victoria-azarenka" target="_blank"&gt;Victoria Azarenka&lt;/a&gt;, No.2 &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/9499/title/maria-sharapova" target="_blank"&gt;Maria Sharapova&lt;/a&gt;, No.3 &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/9044/title/serena-williams" target="_blank"&gt;Serena Williams&lt;/a&gt;, No.4 &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/11530/title/agnieszka-radwanska" target="_blank"&gt;Agnieszka Radwanska&lt;/a&gt;, No.5 &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/10768/title/angelique-kerber" target="_blank"&gt;Angelique Kerber&lt;/a&gt;, No.6 &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/13403/title/petra-kvitova" target="_blank"&gt;Petra Kvitova&lt;/a&gt;, No.7 &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/10077/title/sara-errani" target="_blank"&gt;Sara Errani&lt;/a&gt;, and No.8 &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/4846/title/na-li" target="_blank"&gt;Li Na&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://thenumbercracker.blogspot.com/2012/10/2012-teb-bnp-paribas-wta-championships-preview.html#more"&gt;More about this post?

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The 2011 edition of WTA year-end championship is quite interesting as draw is pretty wide open. Even though it is composed of four Grand Slam title holders, namely French Open Champion &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/4846/title/na-li" target="_blank"&gt;Li Na&lt;/a&gt;, Wimbledon Champion &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/13403/title/petra-kvitova" target="_blank"&gt;Petra Kvitova&lt;/a&gt;, US Open Champion &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/7941/title/samantha-stosur" target="_blank"&gt;Samantha Stosur&lt;/a&gt; and three-time Grand Slam titlist &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/9499/title/maria-sharapova" target="_blank"&gt;Maria Sharapova&lt;/a&gt;, every woman in the top 8 has a shot for the coveted title. With the absence of WTA dominating figure, the Williams sisters and defending champion &lt;a href="http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/1583/title/kim-clijsters" target="_blank"&gt;Kim Clijsters&lt;/a&gt;, it is interesting too see who will emerge victorious and how fierce the competition will be with the No.1 ranking on the line.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://thenumbercracker.blogspot.com/2011/12/2011-atp-and-wta-year-end-championships-winners.html#more"&gt;More about this post?

The ATP World Tour 2011 season let us witnessed some incredible matches. This year we also witnessed the emergence of the best player in the world, Novak Djokovic. Yes, 2011 has been Djokovic&amp;#39;s year and he displayed not only consistency but also excellent tactical abilities, which sent a signal for the rest of his contemporaries that his best has just getting started.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
This year Djokovic racked up three Grand Slam titles, 70-6 win-loss record, a record-breaking five ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles, and a new record for the prize money earned in a single season. He is definitely having the best year of his tennis career.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;What is Infographics?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_graphics" target="_blank" title="Infographics"&gt;Infographics&lt;/a&gt;, short for information graphics, are graphic visual representations of information, data, or knowledge. These graphics present complex information quickly and clearly, such as in signs, maps, journalism, technical writing, and education. With an information graphic, computer scientists, mathematicians, and statisticians develop and communicate concepts using a single symbol to process information.&lt;/div&gt;

I was surfing the net and as usual looking for some latest updates about the &lt;a href="http://www.barclaysatpworldtourfinals.com/" target="_blank"&gt;2010 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals&lt;/a&gt;. I went to &lt;a href="http://www.tennis.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Tennis.com&lt;/a&gt; to look for some latest news as its article entitled &lt;a href="http://tennisworld.typepad.com/thewrap/2010/11/the-rally-those-guys-again.html" target="_blank"&gt;The Fan Wars&lt;/a&gt; caught my attention.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
It headlined: Roger and Rafa engage in a friendly rivalry, but the same can&amp;#39;t be said for their devoted fan bases. Steve Tignor and Kamakshi Tandon discuss the most familiar and most inexhaustible topic in tennis.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
I clicked the link of the article in its front page and it directed me to the article entitled &lt;a href="http://tennisworld.typepad.com/thewrap/2010/11/the-rally-those-guys-again.html" target="_blank"&gt;The Rally: Those Guys Again&lt;/a&gt; to read the content of the intriguing headline. To my surprise, I enjoyed reading the whole story.&lt;/div&gt;

The final ATP Masters 1000 event is over. The faster and slicker court at Palais Omnisports in Bercy produced some stunning upsets and great matches were on display, which includes the drama. Now that players a left Paris by displaying great tennis, they are heading into London for the &lt;a href="http://www.barclaysatpworldtourfinals.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Barclays ATP World Tour Finals&lt;/a&gt;, the conclusion of ATP 2010 season.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
With the absence of &lt;a href="http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Top-Players/Rafael-Nadal.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Rafael Nadal&lt;/a&gt;, defending champion and No.2 seed &lt;a href="http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Top-Players/Novak-Djokovic.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Novak Djokovic&lt;/a&gt; was on the course of strong showing in Bercy after he failed to defend his title in Basel. But the No.2 seed wasn&amp;#39;t able to sustain such kind of performance in Basel as he was stunned by local talent &lt;a href="http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Top-Players/Michael-Llodra.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Michael Llodra&lt;/a&gt; in front of his home supporters.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Having said that, the BNP Paribas Masters title was handled by different hands since 1972. Only &lt;a href="http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/As/A/Arthur-R-Ashe.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Arthur Ashe&lt;/a&gt; able to defend the Paris title, winning it in back-to-back years, 1970-1971. Former world No.1s, &lt;a href="http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Be/B/Boris-Becker.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Boris Becker&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Sa/M/Marat-Safin.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Marat Safin&lt;/a&gt; won this event three times. Did I predicted it right? &lt;a href="/2010/11/2010-bnp-paribas-masters-preview.html" target="_blank"&gt;My pick for BNP Paribas Masters Champion.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

But due to a large number of files, it is very tedious for me to do it one by one and manually. There’s no problem doing it manually, but considering the time constraints, it is not recommended to do it most especially when I am beating the deadline.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Since I have knowledge in programming using &lt;a type="amzn" category="books"&gt;Visual Basic&lt;/a&gt;, I can develop a simple interface in order to process such task automatically. It is indeed a brilliant idea as it will benefit our department a lot, most especially with regard to delivering the service in a small span of time. The main problem was I don’t know where to start. Given the idea is there, I just need a simple planning before going deep into its technical aspects.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://thenumbercracker.blogspot.com/2010/11/converting-word-documents-to-pdf-files.html#more"&gt;More about this post?

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The Palais Omnisports in Bercy is set for the ninth and final ATP World Tour Masters 1000 of the year with nine of the top 10 are vying to win the prestigious title.

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;World No.1 &lt;a href="http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Top-Players/Rafael-Nadal.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Rafael Nadal&lt;/a&gt; withdrew from this event citing medical reasons, therefore world No.2 &lt;a href="http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Top-Players/Roger-Federer.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Roger Federer&lt;/a&gt; will benefit that withdrawal to be awarded as the top seed, followed by 2009 BNP Paribas Masters champion &lt;a href="http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Top-Players/Novak-Djokovic.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Novak Djokovic&lt;/a&gt;, who topped local hope &lt;a href="http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Top-Players/Gael-Monfils.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Gael Monfils&lt;/a&gt; in last year&amp;#39;s finale. With Nadal&amp;#39;s absence, can Djokovic successfully defend his title in French capital after he failed to defend his title at &lt;a href="http://www.davidoffswissindoors.ch/" target="_blank"&gt;Davidoff Swiss Indoors&lt;/a&gt; in Basel, Switzerland losing to Federer 4-6|6-3|1-6?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://thenumbercracker.blogspot.com/2010/11/2010-bnp-paribas-masters-preview.html#more"&gt;More about this post?
