Rafael Nadal

As of late it appears that the current World No.1 ranked player, Rafael Nadal, is elevating his level of play into his golden age, and at 31 years old at that. AN Infosys ATP Beyond The Numbers analysis of Nadal's play during the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters has revealed that, in his 11 wins of the title, this year was his second-highest percent of total points to take the title. He Won 60.9% of the total points in five matches last week, the highest of any of his 11 titles.

Roger Federer

Whilst it appears that there is nobody to challange Nadal on the clay court, Roger Federer has confirmed to play the grass-court event at Stuttgart, as well as previously attended events Halle and Wimbledon. However, it is hard to tell whether or he take back his World No.1 ranking again at 36-years old .

VOLLEYBALL AT THE 1996 OLYMPIC GAMES One of the greatest head to head matches in this sport's history. Period.

The fight card takes place in Brazil. The UFC likes to host a big 'Brazil vs. the world' card in Brazil at least once a year. At least 1 Brazilian features in each fight on the card. Amanda Nunes defends her women's 135lbs title against Raquel Pennington. Nunes has looked like a wrecking ball in her past few fights and I see her winning this fight too.

If Jacare doesn't show his age, I can see him wrestling and submitting the smaller Gastelum. Howev
