Rafael Nadal wax figure unveiled in London
A new waxwork figure of Rafael Nadal is unveiled during a photocall in Regents Park in central London today.
The waxwork will later take up residence at the Madame Tussauds museum in London. Other sports figures there include David Beckham, Christian Ronaldo and Muhammad Ali. So that's a huge honour for Nadal.

Novak Djokovic signs clothing deal with Japanese UNIQLO
Novak Djokovic has dropped his Sergio Tacchini clothing sponsorship and has reportedly signed a 5-year deal with Japanese brand UNIQLO heading into the French Open.
The brand also sponsors Japan's top-ranked player Kei Nishikori.
I'm looking forward to see Djokovic debut in his new UNIQLO gear in Paris next week.

Kim Clijsters to quit after the US Open
Kim Clijsters announced that she will retire after the US Open in a news conference at the headquarters of her sponsors Galaxo in Paal, Belgium.
The Belgian said she felt Flushing Meadows, which is only 45 minutes from her house in the States, was a fitting place to end her career.
Clijsters, who is married to NBA basketball player Brian Lynch, initially retired in 2007 before the birth of her daughter Jada. But she returned in 2009 and went on to win the US Open that year.

Feliciano Lopez and Iker Casillas at Las Ventas bullfight
Last week, Feliciano Lopez was spotted watching bullfight with Real Madrid's Iker Casillas at Las Ventas, Madrid.

Bullfight is too gruesome for my taste and I'm totally against it.
