Rafael Nadal vs Novak Djokovic Wimbledon Mens Single's Final Today

Nadal vs Djokovic Finals : Today, July 3, the stage is set for the Men Single's Finals of Wimbledon 2011, a clash of titans it can be said.

Today No. 1 and No. 2 playes of Tennis world, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal will see each other in the finals of Wimbledon Mens Singles Championships for 2011.

Djokovic and Nadal are nearly deadlocked at this point. Neither has a clear edge, and both are equally deserving of winning the tournament.

According to me, Nadal will be trying hard to win his third Wimbledon singles final, after having won it in 2008 and 2010, but it wont be so easy, as Djokovic has all the physical and emotional tools to give Nadal a run for his money.

I think it’s going to be a match for the ages and will go down to the very end, but in the end my money will be on Rafael Nadal.

Despite the injury that he suffered earlier in the tournament and despite the greatness that Djokovic has shown this past year.

Nadal Inuury News : Rafael Nadal's Foot Scan Shows No Damage

Some good news for fans of Rafael Nadal who will now be able to defend his Wimbledon crown after he was given the all-clear following an MRI scan.

Earlier on Monday evening, Rafael Nadal got injured after he hurt his left foot during his gruelling fourth-round win over Juan Martin Del Potro.

At one point of time it looked that Nadal might not be able to defend his title.

But now, after the scans on his left foot showed no serious damage, he is all set to defend his title.

After the match, Nadal had gone for an MRI at a London hospital.

Nadal will now face Mardy Fish in the quarter-finals on Wednesday.

India vs West Indies 2nd Test Match from Today at Barbados

India vs West Indies 2nd Test Match Starts from Today at Kensington Oval, Barbados

From today, June 28 , the second test match of the India vs West Indies Test series will be played at the Kensington Oval Stadium in Bridgetown, Barbados.

The West Indies are one down in the series and will be looking to square even the series. Atleast history is in favour of the home team.

India have never won two Tests on the trot in the Caribbean and have been defeated badly 7 out of 8 times at this Barbados ground, and in the remaining one occassion ay back in 1971 India managed to drew the test match.

India will be thinking to go with three seamers in this match as Barbados has been experiencing frequent rainfall in the last one week, and also the wicket at Kensington Oval is a hard one with lots of bounce in store that will assist pacers.

India would also be looking at their batting. Except Rahul Dravid and Suresh Raina, none of the other top-order batsmen scored enough runs in the first test match.

Lets hope that India which is No. 1 test Team in the world is able to creat history in the Caribbean by winning both the ODI and Test series, as so far this has never happened.
