HOLD THE BACK PAGE Zat Knight signs two-year contract extension at Fulham. Is that the worst Sky Sports News yellow ticker breaking news ever?

There's been some debate around the GU Sports desk this morning And it's not just confined to whether the Sun's Nikki, 21, Basildon is a better journalist than the Daily Star's Debbie, 24, Milton Keynes. The argument has centred around whether Henley Regatta is a more worthwhile sporting event to attend this weekend than the Tour de France prologue, the British grand prix, the England v West Indies ODI at Trent Bridge, the World Series of Poker, or the Greyhound Derby.

Preamble Morning everyone. Now if you had won tickets for Centre Court in the Wimbledon ballot, you'd be pretty pleased right now. Not only do you get to see both Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer play, but there's the additional bonus of the pick of the women's semi-finals. The first game up is Nadal v Tomas Berdych, who is tipped for an upset here. Not only did the young Czech win the Wimbledon warm-up event at Halle last month, but he is also (and this is a good stat, by the way) the only player to have defeated both Federer and Nadal since they reached their current positions at No1 and No2 respectively in the ATP world rankings.
