Djokovic stops gallant Millman at US Open

By
John Millman’s US Open odyssey is over following a sapping quarterfinal loss to Serbian superstar Novak Djokovic.
Djokovic downed Millman 6-3 6-4 6-4 in a dramatic war of attrition to end the unseeded Australian’s gallant run, reaching his 11th semifinal in New York in the process.
The reigning Wimbledon champion and 13-times major winner’s victory vaulted him into a last-four meeting on Friday with rejuvenated 2014 runner-up Kei Nishikori.
The sixth seed was full of praise for the Australian, who had stunned world No.2 Roger Federer in the previous round.
“(I was) very tested. Almost three hours. It’s midnight now. Credit to John for putting up a great battle,” Djokovic said on court.
“He’s a truly great fighter … he’s had an amazing tournament, first quarterfinals, he won against Roger a couple of nights ago. To come out after that kind of win and fight here for three hours, he deserves a round of applause, definitely.
“(At net we shared) respect for each other. I’ve played him only once in my career, a month ago in London on grass (at Queen’s Club).
“I’ve known him, he’s been around for quite a few years and he’s been known around the tour as a guy with a hard-working ethic and you can see that – he fights for every point and he’s never going to hand you the win.
“He played an amazing tournament.”

''President Buhari is healthier than 80% of Nigerians'' Chris Ngige

By
Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, says President Buhari is healthier than 80 percent of Nigerians. The Minister  said this about President Buhari when he spoke with journalists in Awka, Anambra State. According to Ngige, the age of President Buhari does not in anyway impede his leadership skills. He drew example from Malayia where he said when the nation was in chaos, they had to bring in 93-year-old, Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad, to lead it as a prime minister. When he was asked to speak on the seeming fatigued persona president Buhari has been noticed to have in recent times, Ngige said “That man (Buhari) you see there is healthier than 80 per cent of Nigerians. I’m a medical doctor; I can tell you authoritatively that he is healthier than most people who see his health as an issue. He sits for over eight hours during our executive meetings. While some of us would be going for tea break to stretch our legs, Mr President...
