Chinese Human Rights Worker Liu Xiaobo wins Nobel Peace Prize 2010

China's 11 years imprisoned and dissident Human Rights Worker Liu Xiaobo has won the Nobel Peace Prize 2010. The Norwegian Nobel Committee in their citation  declared that "It has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2010 to Liu Xiaobo for his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China".

Top seed Somdev Devvarman (IND) has assured of at least a Silver medal in the Men's Tennis Singles in the 19th Commonwealth Games 2010 at Delhi after he stormed into the Final with a straight-sets win over third seed Matthew Ebden (AUS) here today. The world number 97 outplayed world number 165 Ebden, 6-3, 6-1, in one hour and 11 minutes at the Centre Court of the R.K. Khanna Tennis Stadium.

Unlike previous matches, the semifinal featured long rallies but Somdev had strong enough legs and stamina to outlast his opponent. Ebden was coming into this match after playing an energy-sapping three-setter against England's Joshua Goodall and perhaps had not recovered from the gruelling encounter. Nevertheless, he did pose some questions for Somdev but the top seed was equipped with enough answers.The match never rose to expected
