CAV GETS BETTER OF GOSS AGAIN
Cycling: THE sight of Mark Cavendish sailing over the line slightly in front sadly is becoming an all too familiar sight for Australian Matt Goss at the Giro d'Italia this week.
Goss finished second to Cav for the second time in five stages this morning,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and that was with the Manx rider still suffering the effects of a nasty fall earlier in the race.
Goss and Cavendish's task was made considerably easier when a number of big sprinters, including Thor Hushovd, were dropped from the peloton in the final 30km as the Liquigas team came to the front and lit up the pace.
NADAL GOES DOWN IN MADRID
Tennis: THERE'S one thing you need to remember when playing tennis on a surface you're not a fan of - the bloke up the other end is dealing with exactly the same conditions.
The normally unbeatable clay maestro indicated he wouldn't return to his home tournament unless they switched from this year's controversial blue clay to the regular red, after losing to countryman Fernando Verdasco in the third round.
But Nadal had every chance to close out the match,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], leading 6-3 3-6 1-4 before dropping six out of the next seven games as the pair gave up a combined seven breaks of serve in the final set.
"Movement is very important for me and I couldn't move," Nadal said when trying to explain the loss - his first to Verdasco in 14 matches.
On the women's side, Serena Williams overcame a sluggish start to move through 1-6 6-3 6-2 against former world No.1 Caroline Wozniacki.
WARNER THUMPS DAREDEVILS TO VICTORY
Cricket: DAVE Warner set about muddying the waters over who is the most destructive IPL batsman this morning by bettering Chris Gayle's destructive innings from yesterday with an unbeaten century for the Delhi Daredevils,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Warner scored more than two runs for every balls he faced, smashing 109 off 54 deliveries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including seven sixes and 10 fours as he chased down the Deccan Chargers' total of 187-4 in just 16.4 overs.
The Aussie blaster featured in a 189-run unbroken stand for the second wicket with Naman Ojha (64 not out), while for Deccan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Cameron White finally remembered how to bat,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], scoring 65 to give his side some hope.
The win puts Dehli on top of the IPL table,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], while Deccan is languishing in last place.
MESSI ACCUSED OF RACIAL TAUNTS
Soccer: BARCELONA is staunchly defending Lionel Messi's squeaky-clean image after a black Real Madrid player claimed he was racially abused by the star striker,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Dutch midfielder Royston Drenthe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], currently on loan at Everton,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was quoted in a magazine as saying the Messi used the word "negro" in a negative way during several of their Spanish league encounters.
But Barcelona was quick to hit back,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], saying the accusations were "well wide of the mark" and that Messi "has always shown maximum respect and sportsmanship towards his rivals".
VID OF THE DAY
AMARE Stoudemire hasn't won a lot of friends this season, and Miami's Shane Battier won't be adding his name to the list after this effort in yesterday's NBA playoffs.
After flooring Battier on his way to the hoop and fouling out of the game,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Stoudemire gave him a bit of the old lookaway helping hand.
Hope Battier followed suit in the maturity stakes by pointing at the scoreboard,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
OTHER SPORT YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED
Golf: AN AUSSIE who turned pro less than a year ago has grabbed a share of the lead at the GS Caltex Maekyung Open in Seoul. The eight leaders all shot four-under 68s in the first round at Namseoul Country Club,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the third stop on the OneAsia tour.
