The course ends tennis and deposits of the best players are full of cracks and hardly any fuel. But a last effort well worth it. Not because of the four million euros in prize money is distributed, but the category of an event that only Roger Federer (2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2010) and Novak Djokovic (2008) know how to win in the audience in this issue. The Swiss and Serbian are the very men who are the favorites for victory in the major bookmakers.
Novak Djokovic is the delegate of the class, a leader who has earned the band's No. 1 in a season for framing. Djokovic, who accumulates ten titles on the payroll, in London for the icing to a cake tasting that takes time. He knows that his physique is the limit (it takes time with his ailing right shoulder) and is eager for vacation to relax. Even that whatever you do in this final their final grade will be outstanding. But his hunger for continued growth led him to search the gala capital excellence, honors, praise from public and experts in the field.

Andy Murray and David Ferrer completed the Group A. The Scot's favorite class to an English public is still waiting and demanding as much as a player who still progressing, we need to take the big leap. Notable is the boy. After a grand finale of course, intractable on the Asian Tour, winning three of the five titles this year has added to his report card. Murray looks to bounce on a date you have already played four times, two of them reaching the semifinals. His first opponent at the O2 will Ferrer (Monday, 15.00), perhaps the most timid of the class. His humility is transformed when he jumps to the mat, where he becomes a gladiator whose physical background seems to be endless.
Roger Federer is the class nerd. It is, of those present, who has won more times this tournament, which defends rod and hence the third step of the ranking. It comes from raising the scepter of Basel and Paris, demotrando the best version of his tennis, envied physique, confidence and the demand exquisite be felt. It is used to complete a course without great notes, a result that could get triunfanfo in London. The manager of Basiela will open fire (Sunday, 15.00). He will face Jo-Wilfried Tsonga , a student with a facade of rebel, but to win both the treatment and seeing him play. The Le Mans, which runs through the prime of his career as a regular game and only has experience in this quote from your participation in 2008, even in Shanghai, where his performance was more discreet.
Rafael Nadal and Mardy Fish complete Group B. Spanish is the class applied. Despite seeing as the course has lost its status as number 1 and losing in six finals before his 'coco' Djokovic, Rafa has not lost hope to continue improving. It is the player with most games this season behind him, but the entity of the event will drive by pushing the elbows penultimate time (after you have left the Davis Cup final). It is a tournament that has never won, last year was at the gates to give in the final, and although it has stated that it takes a season for the academic year to come, will certainly try to give the best of himself. His first opponent (Sunday, 21.00) will be Fish, the new, a player who gets depleted physically, but with the hope of getting noticed.

What might be very different from the norm is the center of the local countryside. Busquets will be the benchmark and the squire midfielder Thiago and Keita, who act behind the trident attack.
He who has not walked with secrets is Javier Aguirre. The Basque unveiled the starting lineup that seeks to give the surprise at the Nou Camp, or at least not suffer too much on stage too hostile for them.
Roberto will continue in goal, Juarez, Mateos, Lanzaro and walls form the defensive line after returning Da Silva played the game with Paraguay, Ponzio and Meira have the complicated task of stopping the movement of the ball culé and Barrera, Luis Garcia and Juan Carlos should be used to feed full of balls at the Helder Postiga.
While the locals are three points behind Madrid, measured at the conclusion of the meeting at Valencia, Zaragoza also played his own, because a defeat could lead them to the relegation zone. Right now, one point separates them from the hot zone of the table.

Nadal: "My season has been very good"
Rafael Nadal arrived on Wednesday in London, which will debut next Sunday at the Masters Cup, an event still absent from his lofty achievements. Whatever happens on English soil, the Spaniard believes that his season has been good, although he notes that knows where to raise their level to improve next year. Djokovic? A further challenge.
After three weeks of vacation, Rafa will return to the circuit at the Masters Cup which begins next Sunday. A time that the Spaniard has been used to oxygenate and train. "I have worked as a physical training aspects of the game, something I can do almost never by the calendar that we have the players," said world number 2, which seems to have shelved the shoulder problem that forced him to lessen the pace of preparation. "I've been training three days normally," said Rafa 'Radiogaceta of Sports' for RNE.
On the appointment of 'masters' Nadal said "we can not choose to have a good draw when they are the best in the world. Federer is playing phenomenal and has won the last two tournaments, Tsonga had a good end of year, and Fish , perhaps with some inconvenience, we will see as it comes. Start with one win (against American debut Rafa) is vital. " For the rest of rivals for the other group, Rafa said: "Murray comes very well to this appointment, Djokovic pulls some discomfort but has gained confidence throughout the year and is played on a surface that is right, and David has been very consistent all year. is the number 5 in the world because it has physical qualities and exceptional tennis. " Despite the proximity to the Davis Cup final, Rafa does not think that could affect their performance. "With a week of preparation is enough to make the switch to clay," he says.
Djokovic is a challenge, not an obsession

The changes are needed. Is a 'lockout'? The situation is now living the NBA is not obviously positive and is a last resort and not think it will ever reach the courts because it does not interest any of the stakeholders. We are doomed to understand. In any negotiation can not leave everyone happy, but we must try to out at least unhappy as possible, "he says.
On his great 'coco' Djokovic, Rafa is believed that only by his great season felicilitarle and try to work to win. "The only important thing is to work and continue the illusion of always. I know more medicine than work, and overcoming illusion. I've always worked for me and the goal is to find a better level.

Rafa, the suffering of a winner
"A well written life is almost as rare as a life well lived." It is severe this statement of the historian Thomas Carlyle . Severe and inaccurate if the players are Rafael Nadal and John Carlin . Maybe if Rafa is unique, but its extreme simplicity, sincerity and pride attached to the pen of the journalist and writer who recently put to paper the life, work and times of Nelson Mandela have led to an essential work for the shelves of the tennis fans and sports in general.
Rafa, my story 'allows us to get into the mindset of a champion and accompanied by the most significant events of his short but intense life. Knowing the intricacies of the costumes for Wimbledon, the Spaniard food tastes (does not like ham!) Or intimate relationship with their family and is now available to everyone. And I thank Carlin and the whole family Nadal, authentic emotional driving these 330 pages.
Like it or not sport. Admire or not Rafa Nadal, the book does not leave you indifferent. It hits in the first paragraphs read the following thought: "I know when I will finish my career is not a happy man and I want to make the most of the duration." In 25 years, having the certainty of future unhappiness must be extremely disturbing. Maybe that's why Rafa will take much juice to their daily lives, their coaches, tournaments dispute. Perhaps for this vital internalization of the culture of effort and overcoming ingrained by Toni, Rafa describes itself under rapidly methodical parameters: " I strive to become a tennis machine, but ultimately it is an endeavor impossible . I'm not a robot in tennis perfection is impossible and the challenge is to scale the summit of their own potential. " One day, as his career expires (hopefully many years from now) Nadal will realize that he could not find more ways to climb to the summit of his powers because he had reached the top. Because it exceeded to the limit. Because he won on surfaces that were vetoed. For physical impairments that would have exceeded the patience of any athlete. Because endlessly beat the greatest player of all time.
Despite the tax on Roger to provoke tears in his autobiography Nadal reflects a fervent admiration for the Swiss tennis player who comes to read as follows: "There seems born to play tennis. Their anatomy and physiology, their DNA, appear be fully adapted to the sport, become immune to injury than other mortals are doomed to suffer. " Its complex and intense relationship with Toni, his predictions about Djokovic Rafa or memories about the great games of his life are also no incentive to stop swallowing your pages.
Nadal, just 25 years and is considered by many (including me) the best Spanish sportsman in history. With him we have suffered livestock losses mourned and celebrated triumphs bitter epic. With him we have vibrated in Paris, London, Melbourne and New York. So let me leave I hope alienated neither Carlin nor the Spaniard. I think the book is poorly titled as 'Rafa, My Story'. Should be 'Rafa, Our Story'.

"Mandela and Nadal are connected by their discipline, ambition, rigor and energy"
Nadal's family came to the door of John Carlin to write the first biography of the world No. 2. In it, among the English journalist and tennis Balearic retrace the life of it, both on and off the track, highlighting memorable moments as the 2008 Wimbledon final, the achievement of 'Grand Slam', the importance of the Davis Cup or Rafa's addiction for olives.
He wrote a biography of Nelson Mandela and the other on Rafael Nadal. What parallels between these two figures?
There are more things that divide than unite them, but they are two globally known figures who have achieved excellence in their respective fields and have shown tremendous discipline, ambition, rigor and energy they have invested in achieving its objectives. In both books there is also a sports epic moment clearly highlighted that in the case of Rafa is the Wimbledon final in 2008 against Roger Federer. One can say that there are certain connections between these two characters.
He has been lucky enough to live with Rafa in the privacy of his family. What would you highlight from that experience?
I am aware that I have been privileged because I have opened the doors of his house, and they are people who value their privacy. I've spoken with his entire family (grandparents, uncles, father, mother, ...) and that has given me the opportunity to understand both the environment as Rafa himself. From him I am surprised that his personality off the court has little to do with Gladiator and tireless warrior you see when you are competing and displayed as a sensitive, respectful, polite and very sweet in his nature. There is a large contrast between the public figure and sportsman and he as a person.
Besides tennis, what other issues are addressed in these talks?
We talk about football! Rafa is a fan of football, but not only Real Madrid and the Spanish league, but who knows and is aware of the latest addition to the German League ... He may be in Australia, if there's an important game, gets up at 5.00 to see ...
It is noteworthy that account in the book that does not like ham ...
I always maintained that what united all the Spanish was the ham, but Rafa, a Spanish emblem and symbol, does not like nor the ham and the cheese. But I do not like olives. We have a story about when I was little and ate an amazing amount of olives was three days with a sore tummy. His addiction persists and whenever she can eat some olives.
At the enviable track record for Nadal is only by winning the Masters Cup, a milestone that could get this next week in London.
Rafa win every tournament raises that contention because it is a tremendously ambitious person at all times think about how to surpass himself and improved to achieve a higher level despite all that has won so far. I'm sure he would love to win the Masters Cup, but I do not have the enormous importance it had in days to win Wimbledon. I think it's the most glorious moment of his career.
Another notable moment was the 2004 Davis Cup, where Spain beat the U.S. with a Nadal who was the youngest of the group.
It is a very important moment because it is where released. Both Spain and is the world thought, 'Here is someone special. Megacrack Problem Child '. Rafa is special to play as a team because, in a sense, is a frustrated player. He played until he was 12 or 13 years on a computer in Manacor and it was very difficult to leave the team to devote himself exclusively to tennis. That victory over Roddick in Seville recalls with great happiness and pride.
Since taking off in the 2004, Nadal has had two big front rivals: Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.
Rafa was clear several years ago that this duopoly was with Federer Djokovic was to incorporate sooner or later. Perhaps he lacked focus, find a stable environment like the Rafa himself, and now that I have reflected on their results. As for Roger, Rafa has great respect it recognizes its sublime natural talent. They are close friends, because that place Rafa has it reserved for people of Mallorca, but a relationship of great kindness. It's very nice that two players with a sports rivalry as hard as theirs are treated as courteous and respectful. They should learn about it in other sports.
One of the passages of the book discussed is the voltage observed between Rafa and his uncle and coach Toni. How would you define that relationship?
are two people who know intimately well be family, a very close and united family, who have been together in the world of tennis 21 years and under extraordinary pressure. Friction is normal, not one, not two, but it is stupid to think that in the context in which they work all is peace, love, laughter and joy. That said I think it depends on Toni Rafa because he brings a very productive competitive tension to reach the highest level. Rafa had not been the great champion that is if it were not for the figure of Toni.
After the success it is having this biography, is there a second part written by John Carlin?
We talked about this. I think Rafa will never do anything like this (publish a book written about her) until he retires, which hopefully will for many years. If the time comes and he proposed it, I would be delighted.
He wrote a biography of Nelson Mandela and the other on Rafael Nadal. What parallels between these two figures?
There are more things that divide than unite them, but they are two globally known figures who have achieved excellence in their respective fields and have shown tremendous discipline, ambition, rigor and energy they have invested in achieving its objectives. In both books there is also a sports epic moment clearly highlighted that in the case of Rafa is the Wimbledon final in 2008 against Roger Federer. One can say that there are certain connections between these two characters.
He has been lucky enough to live with Rafa in the privacy of his family. What would you highlight from that experience?
I am aware that I have been privileged because I have opened the doors of his house, and they are people who value their privacy. I've spoken with his entire family (grandparents, uncles, father, mother, ...) and that has given me the opportunity to understand both the environment as Rafa himself. From him I am surprised that his personality off the court has little to do with Gladiator and tireless warrior you see when you are competing and displayed as a sensitive, respectful, polite and very sweet in his nature. There is a large contrast between the public figure and sportsman and he as a person.

Jordan, the fallen idol of the "nuclear winter"
As in his return to the NBA with the Wizards when discussing whether the new but old Jordan could still play like the old but young Jordan of the Bulls, the emergence of MJ in the lockout has also caused a strong debate.
In the middle of negotiations indicated that many players could not accept an agreement down because they had to fight for the legacy that Michael Jordan, among others, had left them and their mission was to preserve it for the youth of tomorrow. Many players on the scene looking for the owner of Jordan saying that as a former player would understand better than anyone else's position players.
We all remember his famous "Mr. Abe Pollin see if your franchise fails to be profitable, sell 'lockout in 1998 as Reggie Miller recalled recently. In addition, there was another factor to think that MJ would intercede on behalf of the players but few of those present agreed: Michael Jordan himself, along with Pat Ewing, among others, had led an ephemeral lockout in 1995 championing the option of dissolution the union as has happened now. So MJ got over 200 signatures in favor of the dissolution of the union via 'decertification' (not 'disclaimer of interest ") signed the petition although the union finally accepted the new proposal from the NBA for six seasons.
What I did not expect the majority of the players was that player who had been revered for many years and that their rooms had chaired a poster were to lead the hardliners of the owners. MJ did not talk too much . These say that not even opened his mouth at the meeting with the players, precisely to avoid an awkward rebuke. Jordan knew he was waiting and the minimum they were going to drop this "look Mr. Jordan, as you once said Abe Pollin, sell the franchise if he is unable to make it profitable." The owner Jordan wore short during those meetings and made a bend to the union as if it was Bryon Russell in the final 98. He did not open his mouth. But he told the other owners what they had to hear, offer a 50-50 in the BRI and do not move there.
He broke a myth for many. As with his return in 2001 with the Wizards, Abe Pollin, that against which he had loaded a couple of years before the meetings of the lockout and then hired him as general manager before re-dressing of player. The shock was such that some, like Stephon Marbury did not hesitate to lash out at his former idol ensuring that "sold us" , Klay Thompson has called "hypocritical" to MJ and others like Nick Young has called for a boycott of the Jordan product line look curiously some of the great NBA stars like Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul.
Now the big question is how will the image of Michael Jordan to the general public knowing that it has led the radical wing of the owners. Few have understood its turnaround from player to owner except Metta World Peace. Your legacy will be affected by this lockout?

Kempes not fail against Madrid
There are few players in the history of Valencia with enough pull to bring together the feeling of an entire city. Perhaps the only one capable of doing so is the killer. The figure of Mario Alberto Kempes is eternal. Name only cause for pride Valencia. Just remember wearing the shirt of the Senyera adjusted, or with white embroidered coat is an adrenaline rush for anyone who feels the club as their own.
That figure, the most memorable of Argentine history Valencia, is the club has chosen to motivate the bully while his rivals. Valencia have decided to 'tune' the tunnel, the exit to the Mestalla Stadium with mythic images of the club's history.
The 'collage' is not wasted. There is no better game to premiere the game against Real Madrid. Kempes raising his arms in an old picture of Mestalla. Voro, current club delegate and not long ago one of the toughest plants and cost of equipment, showing packed muddy been left to the last drop of sweat on the field.
The captain David Albelda celebrating a goal in the semifinals of the Champions League against Leeds, with a cone on the floor hugging players. Mendieta louse and euphoric after sentencing the Copa del Rey final against Atletico Madrid at 99. That final destination Valencia changed recently. That title has managed to forget any Valencia.
Nor need the celebration of the league title in Mestalla with Albelda, Baraja, Mista, Vicente and the other players lifting the trophy. No doubt a tremendously emotional succession of photos to be twice-chilling effect motivating the team needs.
But the images are not the only significance of this new initiative of Valencia. On the pictures you can read all the names of all players who have played games with Valencia. From the older and brighter than those formed electric front - Epi, Amadeo, Mundo, Asensi and Gorostiza, and they were able to lift three league titles, to the current players. Do not miss any.
One of the most sacred areas decorated with pure feeling and hard to create a different atmosphere. The Valencia and gave some touches to the tunnel for a while. He used to climb the steps to send motivational messages lawn. Style Anfield, Liverpool, the club has managed to get on stage fright motivation to start playing the game right from the tunnel.
But the effort to enforce the club to the players to tone and soften rivals, the stadium needs to relive the atmosphere of the big nights. Mestalla needs to regain its aura. The party and what is at stake leaves no doubt. The stadium will be full to overflowing and prepared the distribution of about forty thousand flags with Senyera to look like old stadium. In fact, the club has launched a promotional campaign for all the fans come to the coliseum Valencia with Senyera jersey has swept this year in sales.
With everything ready for one of the meetings of the year, the team has been responsible for binding the sporting sense of revenge for what happened last season. In late April, Valencia suffered in his own field one of the largest 'slap' in memory. The players suffered the blow to the pride, but fans were no doubt felt the most iron. On Saturday they have the perfect game to get even. Kempes to support from the tunnel and can not say that every day.

"Hamilton destroyed Alonso being a rookie"
The Briton said it is usual in the race of champions 2008. "He did the same with Nico Rosberg in karting, and the other fellow who has been in Formula 1. It was decommissioned by Jenson at first, and probably thought that was a good kid, but that he would win. And surely surprised" he said.
The English leader admitted that Hamilton has not had a good campaign. "In general I must say it has been a great year for the team.

Lewis expects more of himself and everyone expects more than Lewis, so this season has been very demanding for him.'s going through a lot right now, "he said in an interview with formula1.com.
Whitmarsh also welcomed because McLaren remain faithful to his idea of a pilot does not prevail, he said. "Jenson, meanwhile, also wanted to beat his mate, but never do so dirty.

Cristiano Ronaldo greets Europe
Portugal is anything but a universal center forward, drag that dragged on for too long and that has given him more of a shock, unable to tap the plays, to put the link to your game so characteristic and from the sides. Before Bosnia, the team was a whirlwind Luso, usually deep from the wings, almost never efficient in the definition, beyond the inspiration of the beam shots. Dizzying game, career, without much elaboration and comfortable on the counterattack.
Poison weapons. Attached and catapulted by the players of Real Madrid, Portugal depersonalized to Bosnia. Pepe was in the rear, without too many algorithms to get the ball play, which closed behind sensational in the task of drying Dzeko, Manchester City striker, who blushed at the same Rami (Valencia) in the Stade de Paris France. Coentrão was so brazen as impulsive, validated because Christian pulled and dragged into the half behind rival, who ate a bite left side, with twists, zigzags and schools. And it was the CR itself which moves stubbornly resolve in putting an end to all those balls came in conditions which were not many at the beginning of the duel, but enough to belittle the contrary, unrecognizable team Da Luz, troubled before competing. Thus, two balls hanging the magnificent area without corsets Coentrão-defensive-finished in two auctions of 7. The first target, the second set to stick, just spit out by the goalkeeper.
But Portugal had a burning Christian and that is enough to knock down any barrier. Not even a lack of 35 meters was an obstacle. Three steps back, gunslinger pose of western and bang to follow, that caught the goalkeeper misplaced, impossible to recover the site. Gol. Even more beautiful was the target of Nani, who was in the area of three quarters, turned, looked up and threw a shell that rose and seemed to rebound with power lines down like lightning because, to the point that the camera did not have time to catch the flight. Nor is the goal, of course.
Coentrão, in a defensive jump volleyball because it did up-arm, season the match with a penalty absurd. Gap to close somewhat, a goal that Cristiano reverted to take a pass from the hollow Moutinho. Backlash, dribble the goalkeeper, shot and double whammy because Lulic is heated the body and mouth, mostly because their protest culminated in a kick that seemed to be definitive. It was not because the referee Stark Pepe who drove by the entrance to the classic Alves from the previous year, decided to disregard an offside goal that ended in Spahic. It was, in any case, a mirage, the end of Bosnia, which broke out in search of a goal that never came. At least in the goal they sought, because Portugal, effervescent, also dissociated and signed another three goals, two of Postiga, successful striker in the task of selecting both claims, and Veloso, in a free kick with such delicacy and precision . Europe was the feast of Portugal, the Christian greeting.
Euro will also be in Ireland, who drew against Estonia (1-1 and 5-1 on aggregate) and the Czech Republic, who beat Montenegro (1-0 and 3-0 on aggregate). Croatia also tied with Turkey (0-0) and exceeded the total (3-0).
