Any betting man would have put his money, life and limb on a Rafael Nadal v Roger Federer final. After all, the two top players had pretty much had their way in the previous rounds and were coming up against players who - at least in the case of young ...
The choice of Peter De Villiers as the man to take over the coaching of the South African rugby team from the hugely successful Jake White is a surprising one, probably even for the man himself. The reason - it came just 24 hours after the players' ...
