Whether its strawberries and cream or a nice ice cold Pimms that you’re after, settle down with your treat of choice as you indulge in this week’s XCLUSIVES!
Wimbledon fever
certainly gripped the capital over the weekend! After two enthralling weeks of
tennis it came down to Petra Kvitova (Czech Rep) versus Eugenie Bouchard
(Canada) in the ladies final. Kvitova showed no mercy on the up and coming Canadian,
annihilating her opponent in just 55 minutes to secure her second Wimbledon
triumph in a 6-3, 6-0 win.
Meanwhile, Britain’s defending Wimbledon champ Andy
Murray, may not have quite made it to the finishing line this year, but
tennis fans where certainly not left disappointed with the men’s grand final
line up; number one seed Novak Djokovic of Serbia versus seven times
Wimbledon champion Roger Federer (Switzerland). The pair battled for
almost four hours, showcasing a majestic display of tennis in a five set
thriller which ultimately saw Djokovic prevail 6-7 (7-9), 6-4, 7-6 (7-4), 5-7,
6-4, for his second SW16 trophy. Interestingly, Kvitova and Djokovic both enjoyed
their first taste of Wimbledon glory back in 2011.
If like me, you’re suffering the Wimbledon blues now
the tournament is over, dry those tears and get ready for this weekend’s
sporting extravaganza! Footie fans will be in their element as the 2014
World Cup final is upon us! At time of press, semi-finalists Brazil,
Germany, Argentina and The Netherlands were still in the running and eyeing the
prize. But who will prove victorious? Watch the televised final live on BBC1, this
Sunday 13th July, 8pm (GMT)!

holiday season!
...And singer Nikos Ganos is hoping to get on your playlist

Sky and also includes a little female vocal cameo to up the ante for this fun
and flirty club track.

if you like to drop it low, you can swivel those hips to Lefteris Pantazeis’
latest musical offering “Erotas”.
Rapper Tus also features on the track
bringing his own unique cartoonesque style to this tale of torturous passion
and desire that is getting Lefteris a little hot under the collar.
