Rafael Nadal the Sunshine Boy

And he waves like a President too :D

Nadal was at the Champions League round of 16, first leg match between Real Madrid and Liverpool at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain on Wednesday.

I gave up Champions League and EPL years ago.

Venus Williams on CNN's Revealed series

This series was uploaded on CNN last week but as usual the IT guys at CNN still haven't fix the video embed function.

Now it's available on Youtube.

I love this series simply because there are more off-court scenes compare to TalkAsia's interviews with Jelena Jankovic and Zheng Jie.

And now Dubai tourney loses Andy Murray

Is it bad karma or pure coincidence?

At the beginning of this tournament, Dubai Open has already lost defending champion, Andy Roddick who boycotted the event.

Other top players including Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Nikolay Davydenko also withdrew from this tournament due to injury problems.

And in the latest development, Andy Murray pulled out from the tournament after coming down with a virus.

Now this ATP 500 event is all yours, Nole!

When Roger Federer meets Andy Murray...

Roger: (Smiling sheepishly) Andy, I'm sorry for being a jerk at the Aussie Open. You know, all the comments about you at the press. It didn't help me to win my 14th Grand Slam anyway.

Andy: (Giving Roger his trademark blank look) Oh, ok... So, what are you doing in Dubai? I thought you're not playing.

Roger: Well, you see the backache is not true.

Andy: (Giving that blank look again)

Roger: I just needed more time to recover from that humiliation last month. Hehe!

Roger: You know, I have a house here in Dubai. You want to drop for a coffee? I have a great coffee machine courtesy from *beep*. Mirka will bake you delicious donuts. We can sit down and strategize a bit. You know, you take on that Djoker and I grab my no.1 ranking back from Rafa.

Andy: (And the blank look again) What do you mean? You think I can't be no. 1?
