Brisbane event without Sharapova

Three-time major winner Maria Sharapova has been forced to withdraw from January's Brisbane International event because of an ankle injury which to begin on New Year's Day.

Sharapova released a statement saying: "I was really looking forward to starting my 2012 season at the Brisbane International, which has a fantastic reputation as a great and welcoming event. "Unfortunately my ankle is not 100% and I won't be able to make it this year."

The 24-year-old Russian suffered the injury in September's Pan Pacific Open, and she has failed to shake off the problem.

However, Sharapova still believes she will be fit for the Australian Open, which gets underway in Melbourne on January 16, 2012.

"I do expect to be ready for the year's first grand slam and I am really looking forward to competing on court," added Sharapova, who won the Australian Open in 2008.

Despite Sharapova's absence, the Brisbane tournament -- which begins on New Year's Day -- still has a strong entry list with Serena Williams, Samantha Stosur and Kim Clijsters all confirmed starters.

Hackers attack on Stratfor

Hackers Anonymous and LulzSec have claimed that they could leak and disclose data of credit card through their attack on .Stratfor, a global intelligence company.      

Hackers targeted Stratfor, a global intelligence company, but it was unclear Sunday evening whether the breach and apparent release of credit card information was the work of the group Anonymous.

In a posting on the website Pastebin, hackers said they released Stratfor subscriber data, including information on 4,000 credit cards as well as the company's "private client" list. The posting cited AntiSec, a Web-based collaboration with the activist hacking groups Anonymous and LulzSec.

U.S.-based Stratfor, which provides independent analysis of international affairs and security threats, sent an e-mail to subscribers on Sunday:

"On December 24th an unauthorized party disclosed personally identifiable information and related credit card data of some of our members. We have reason to believe that your personal and credit card data could have been included in the information that was illegally obtained and disclosed."

But Stratfor also said the "private clients" disclosure was "merely a list of some of the members that have purchased our publications and does not comprise a list of individuals or entities that have a relationship with Stratfor beyond their purchase of our subscription-based publications."

Wimbledon men's title 2011 for Novak Djokovic

New world number one Novak Djokovic beat defending champion Rafael Nadal in four sets to win the Wimbledon men's singles title for the first time on Sunday.

Djokovic produced some sublime tennis to race through the opening two sets, and although top seed Nadal forced his way back into the match to win the third set, Serb Djokovic sealed a famous victory 6-4 6-11-6 6-3 in just over two-and-three-quarter hours.

Djokovic came into the tournament as the second seed, but was the in-form player of 2011 after losing just one match all year -- a run of form which ensured he would take the number one ranking on Monday regardless of the result of the final.

The pair had won the two previous grand slam events this season, Djokovic in Australia and Nadal in France, but the 24-year-old from Belgrade had won all four matches against Nadal this year -- all in tournament finals.

And he continued that form with a stunning start against two-time champion Nadal, who had not lost a match on the grass-court of the All England Club since his defeat to Roger Federer in the 2007 final, a 20-match winning streak.

A single break of serve gave Djokovic the first set, but an impressive double break ensured that the Serb raced away with the second in impressive style.

However, Nadal showed all the quality that had taken him to 10 grand slam titles in a glittering career by responding with a double break of his own to secure the third set in equally convincing fashion.

The big-hitting continued in the fourth set and an early break gave Djokovic a 2-0 advantage.

However, 25-year-old Nadal broke back straight away, courtesy of a fortunate net-cord, and the games went with serve until game eight, when Djokovic took the decisive final break before serving out to claim the title with his first match point.

"It's really hard to describe this with words but it is the best day of my life," Djokovic told the official Wimbledon website.

"I've always dreamed of this. That's probably my best match on grass, but I would like to congratulate Rafa for having a great tournament," added Djokovic, who has now won three grand slam titles after two victories in the Australian Open.

Nadal was gracious in defeat, adding: "I'd like to compliment Novak for his performance and his amazing season.

"Wimbledon is the most special tournament. I can imagine how Novak feels."

The result means that for the first time since 2002, when Australian Lleyton Hewitt beat David Nalbandian, somebody other than Nadal and Federer has won the men's singles title at Wimbledon.

It also continued a remarkable sequence in the men's singles, with the last four winners of the tournament all seeded second.
