Nadal stamped has mark on the match claiming the first set 6-1, then he was challenged slightly more and won the second set 6-3, then whitewashed Federer 6-0 in the third to claim a convncing straight sets victory. Nadal now sets his sights on Wimbledon and trying to knock Federer off his Number 1 perch.

Liverpool have signed two players this week and are close to signing another. Liverpool are also eyeing up James Milner of Newcastle united and a player from Spain called Riera.

Andrea Dossena completed his transfer from Udinese yesterday whilst Phillip Degen signed last week. Aston Villa have conceded to losing Gareth Barry to Liverpool. Villa have priced Barry at 14million and reds gaffer Benitez is sure to put in a bid.

I am a huge Liverpool Fan - I am getting to new kit for my birthday, debating over getting Barry or Babel on it.

Already got Torres and Alonso

Message me for Liverpool Chat xD

Its almost time for Call fo Duty yaaaay!
