Real Madrid will make a massive profit on Kaka and Ronaldo. From shirt sales and merchandise around the world they'll get several hundred million pounds. Also doesn't Kaka mean s**t in Spanish??? That'll be funny for the commentators...

july 18 fight of mayweather jr. and juan marquez called off indefinitely.....mayweather claims to have suffered an injured rib ( :lol: cmon! )

some boxing analysts suggest that it's just the promoter's excuse because of poor ticket sales (money mayweather aint a draw no more apparently, and his opponent marquez ain't no big draw either (?) )

It remains unclear whether Rafael Nadal will defend his Wimbledon title after he struggled with his movement during an exhibition match on Thursday.

Nadal, who has been plagued with knee problems throughout his career, lost 6-4 6-3 to Australian Lleyton Hewitt.

Nadal will now decide whether to play at Wimbledon after an exhibition match against Stanslas Wawrinka on Friday.

"He is having difficulties bending and it seems his treatments aren't enough," said coach and uncle Toni Nadal.

"I don't know [if he will defend his title], we have to wait for Friday."

The world number one was forced to withdraw from Queen's Club last week with knee trouble and underwent intense rehabilitation in Barcelona.

He was diagnosed with tendonitis in both quadricep tendons as well as a small amount of fluid on the kneecaps.


But the 23-year-old looked on course to defend his title after coming through a practice session on Tuesday.

However, Nadal looked troubled throughout his one hour 20 minute encounter with Hewitt at London's Hurlingham Club.

In Nadal's first match since losing to Robin Soderling in the fourth round of the French Open, the Spaniard looked increasingly frustrated as he repeatedly failed to get to b*** he would normally reach.

Hewitt challenged Nadal from the start, forcing him to save two break points in the first game before holding serve.

The Australian then managed to break to love for a 3-2 lead after three unforced errors from Nadal, and held his next service game to love behind a barrage of aces.

Nadal frequently muttered to himself in Spanish after missing shots, and often had to rely on his top-spin forehand to bail him out of trouble.

He had his first break point in the first game of the second set, but Hewitt saved it with a service winner.

Nadal set up another break point at 2-2 with a good forehand volley, but Hewitt produced a forehand winner down the line before holding.

Hewitt broke again for a decisive 4-3 lead after Nadal sent a forehand long, and the Australian converted his second match point after Nadal sent a lunging backhand long as well.

On Tuesday, Nadal, who beat great rival Roger Federer in a classic final in 2008, promised to give "200%" in his efforts to be fit for this year's Wimbledon, which begins on Monday.

But he added: "I will not go out and play on any court, let alone Centre Court at Wimbledon, if I am not 100%."

Meanwhile, five-time champion Bjorn Borg has raised doubts over Nadal's ability to retain his Wimbledon title.

"Nadal is always a dangerous player because he is the best in the world - but what happened in Paris and then the injury, I am picking Andy Murray or Roger Federer," said the Swede.

"For Nadal to win five in a row (at the French Open) was a big goal this year. I am sure he was very, very disappointed when he went home after Paris.

"That defeat took him many, many days to get over. Nadal is saying he has got an injury, but he has to be fit at Wimbledon if he wants to go all the way, and I do not think he will go all the way this year."
