Sorry if repost - Fabio in military service: I don't remember who the guy on the left is. But next to Fabio are Alessandro del Piero and Marco Delvecchio

La Liga tempts Del Piero Monday 15 June, 2009 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero would be tempted by a move to Spain, considering that contract negotiations with his current club are yet to begin. Del Piero will see his contract expire in June 2010, when he will be 35-year-old with a potential market value of £10m. “This is a problem which sooner or later we will have to face, but there is still time to think about it,” said sporting director Alessio Secco. The Bianconeri Captain is reluctant to push for a renewal as he is expecting the club to make the first step at the negotiation table. Despite his wish to end his career in Turin offers from La Liga, as well as the USA and China, could make him change his mind. The same happened to Pavel Nedved who wasn’t offered a new contract and is now on the verge of joining either Lazio or Parma. “The next season will be fundamental for Alex,” confessed President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli. “He will be super motivated to play at the World Cup and he will need regular playing time. Still there will be time until the June 30, 2010 to sign a new contract,” concluded the patron. But June 2010 could already be too late to keep the Bianconeri No 10 at the Olimpico as he would be free to look for a new team come January. (Channel4) Absolute nonsense if you ask me...probably some bumby negotiations for a few months and a few concessions in salary, then everything will be settled.

Ale in Orlando Florida for the NBA Finals (LA Lakers vs Orlando Magic):

Roger pulled out of Halle

Love it

I'm already nervous. GO ROGER! (If he wins Wimbledon too, he'll be number 1 again.)

Good to see this thread is alive again. Thanks for the pics!

That's Marat Safin... another loss...12 out of 14 tournaments lost... <_<

First pics of little Tobias (9 months) Return to Pinzolo: Alex earns Scirea award Friday 25 July, 2008 Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero has won the 2008 Gaetano Scirea award by a landslide margin. The prize is handed out each year to the player who journalists believe serves as an example for how to behave on and off the field. Last year Milan striker Pippo Inzaghi won the 16th edition of the award, which takes its name from one of the greatest Italian players of all-time. As well as being one of five players to win every national and international trophy recognised by FIFA, Juventus legend Scirea was renowned for his sportsmanship and dignity. Del Piero received 281 votes for this year’s title, leaving him easily clear of Roma’s Christian Panucci on 35. Veteran striker Vincenzo Montella and fiery Inter stopper Marco Materazzi received just 19 votes each. (Channel4)

From the official site: 08.07.08 Marat has been granted a Wild Card into the Main Draws of both Masters Series in Toronto and Cincinnati. 09.07.08 Marat will return to Moscow from Sweden and then travel to Toronto for the Rogers Masters on Friday 18th July.

Marat seems to be headed back to losing... vs Potito Starace 2nd round of Bastad: 6-7, 6-3, 4-6

Same sunglasses as Del Piero's wife, but they look better on Ilary. Don't like the clothes though... :x

Nadal won 6-4, 6-4, 6-7, 6-7, 9-7 I think we can say Roger's time as undisputed number won is ending...I'm sad about it, but the times change...

Davide is such a cutie! Thanks for the pics

Federer - Safin: 6-3, 7-6, 6-4 Nadal - Schüttler: 6-1, 7-6, 6-4 Go Roger! Show Nadal who's the king of grass!

Good match, fun to watch

I read somewhere they confirmed her pregnancy, but I couldn't find an actual message from them...

Video interview: http://www.tennischannel.com/sys_media/flash/vt_wp19.html

Is Helen pregnant again, or does it just look like that?

Not having passion and not showing it are two different things. Besides, Federer also used to smash rackets and be kicked out of tenniscourts. It isn't all what it seems.

Interesting. I thought he was impossible to hate...

What's that supposed to mean?

Q. How dangerous is Safin now? Obviously he's not the same player as 2005, but he's got the two Grand Slam titles and he's obviously motivated again. Do you see him at the same danger level you might have a few years ago? ROGER FEDERER: Well, yeah, I mean, you've got to look at these guys, Ferrero, Roddick, Safin, Hewitt, these guys who have been No. 1 in the world and have won Grand Slams, you take them like they would be No. 1 in the world in some ways, because one day anybody can play great, especially the former greats like them. So I never looked at Marat like No. 89 in the world. I mean, that's ridiculous. You know, he knows that himself. He's finally showing again what he can do. It's just quite surprising he does it here at Wimbledon in some ways, because he used to dislike playing on this surface. So it should be interesting, because last year I wasn't happy to see Safin in my draw. I'm never happy. He probably knows that. Just been disappointed with the way he's been playing lately, but hopefully he's got a second thing going here in his career. I'm looking forward to playing him in case he wins this.

He shouldn't be nonchalant with Federer
