Serena Williams ruthlessly defeats her?sister, Venus at the US Open

Serena Williams defeated her elder sister, Venus Williams in two straight sets 6-1 6-2 on Friday, making the 30th career showdown at Flushing Meadows in New York a one-sided affair.

The 23 Grand Slam winner was literally on fire against her sister, merciless in her blistering returns and making Venus look more like her apprentice. Venus tried to salvage things, but it was not just her night as Serena played her best match since her return to tennis after giving birth to her daughter Olympia in September.

She played pitch-perfect tennis to outlast her elder sister after 71 minutes on Arthur Ashe Stadium.

In her post match interview, Serena showed her sister a lot of respect saying, “It’s not easy. She’s my best friend. she means the world to me. She’s supportive of my career and I’m supportive of her career. Every time she loses I feel like I do. It’s not very easy but it’s a tournament and we know there’s more to life than playing each other and playing tennis. I love her with all my heart. She’s the reason I’m here. She’s the only reason I’m still out here. After God, I definitely owe everything to her.”

Serena next meets Kaia Kanepi, the 33 year-old Estonian star, who beat Rebecca Peterson 6-3 7-6 in an earlier third round match.

The Infinix Hot S3X arguably has the worldâ€™s best smartphone screen display

Smartphone display screens are pivotal aspect of a smartphone’s overall functionality. Asides the fact that it makes up at least 78% of the entire phone’s physical build, every operational aspect of the smartphone from the camera, RAM/ROM, processor etc is projected onto the screen. It is the final point of all the algebra and mathematical alignments that go on inside the phone. Smartphones have undergone a major design change in the last few months. Screen sizes have gone up and display designs have changed a lot. Pretty soon users can buy phones with bendable screen which is why consumers are continually anticipating the next best thing that would render other smartphone screen display output old and irrelevant. A 5.5-inch panel is no longer the default screen size. By trimming the size of front-facing bezels, modern phones have created room for 6-6.3-inch screens in the same form-factor. Thus, a trend has been set in motion with smartphone screens that come with a cut-out at the top...

Let me begin by thanking God for giving me this opportunity to share something that have became a misery of my life with you guys. Ever since I discovered that I'm actually a Twin and that my other Twin brother is alive since all this time, my life have not been the same cos It has been so hard growing up alone without him so you can imagine what I've been going through every single moment of my life knowing that my other half is out there and probably been looking for me but didn't know how to get across to me or have no knowledge of my existence.

Wife of Nigerian footballer, Orelesi, accuses her husband and his mother of driving her to depression and near suicide

Oluwayemisi Cole, the wife of Nigerian footballer Nurudeen Orelesi, has accused her husband and his mother of driving her to depression that almost led to suicide. The mother-of-one who married the footballer on September 3, 2015, said she sacrificed so much for him before they got married and chose to be by his side rather than be by her sick mother's side just so she could support his ambitions. She said his mother loved her as a result of this and constantly prayed for her. But after Orelesi got a professional contract and started playing in Europe, his mother's attitude towards her changed so much that she had to leave the house with her child and started squatting around until her husband sent her some money to rent an apartment. But this allegedly only angered her mother-in-law further. She says her husband has now abandoned her and their son and only checks on his son by asking other people about him. The treatment she got from her husband and his mother led her to ...
