Roger Federer knocked out as Frances Tiafoe comes of age!

It's good to be back and there couldn't have been a better timing folks.

We are right in the middle of the Australian Open, and the tournament is shaping up rather nicely, with players looking to seal quarterfinal berths. Other have, of course, with some fourth round match-ups decided today, Sunday.

In possibly the biggest upset of the day, double defending champion, Roger Federer got knocked out by 20-year-old Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece. Federer had taken the first set after some shotmaking brilliance in a lengthy tiebreaker, but the great Swiss just couldn't contain Tsitsipas afterwards. The young Greek would brush the disappointment aside and put up a sensational performance to take the next three sets, sealing a 6-7, 7-6, 7-5, 7-5 victory. The win also saw him become the first Greek to reach the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam event.

Federer, meanwhile, will have to wait for his 100th career singles title and will drop out of the world's top 5 when the new rankings list is released on January, 28.

Elsewhere, Frances Tiafoe, on his 21st birthday, claimed arguably the biggest win of his career, as he defeated former world number three, Grigor Dimitrov, to reach his first ever quarterfinal in a Grand Slam event at Melbourne Park.

The young American will seek to continue his fairytale run when he takes on world number two, Rafael Nadal for a place in the semifinals.

I'll do well to keep you updated, best believe.

LIFE AS IT IS- VOWS

Vow's When he approached home, he was full of remorse. All he felt within him was sadness. And apologies, all he had constructed on his way back home. He was going to start with the gift he had bought and then go down on his knees. He would plead until she forgave him and this time he promised himself, this time things would be alright. He opened the door with care. Moving quietly, not doing anything that would disturb her. When he entered, it was silent. Their house had never been silent. It was either she was cooking while humming to herself or listening to her favorite artists. Songs of Lana Del Rey and Halsey. Most times she would sing along and one couldn't help but feel the longing in her voice. Those times, he had felt sobered. Not knowing how to help, not matter how much he had tried. This time it was not what he expected, and even though he didn't want to admit it to himself, it felt peaceful. Once upon a time, their life had been like a fairy tale. N...

FASHION TABLE WITH STEPHANIE: HOW TO TAKE ACCURATE BASIC MEASUREMENTS

 HOW TO TAKE ACCURATE BASIC MEASUREMENTS  So last week when talking on how to get the perfect fit, the first thing on our list was "taking accurate measurements". Being the nice and helpful person I am, I've taken the time out to list the basic measurements we need for a simple dress and how to take these measurements accurately. Ideally, you should be measured wearing only your undergarments.  However, a close-fitting clothing will be fine.  Do NOT measure yourself or a client that's wearing jeans, sweats, or other bulky clothing.  It DOES make a difference fam. The body is made of soft tissue, so it can be a bit difficult to know exactly how tight to pull the tape around the body. The tape should be a bit snug, but not tight - it should not "dig in" or make an indentation in the body.  It should not be loose, either!  Just wrap the tape around the area of the body being measured and hold it in place.  You should be able to put a finger behind th...
