Tennis

Wimbledon starts next Monday and Roger Federer and Amelie Mauresmo will be defending their titles at the historic tournament. Are there any outsiders likely to upset the big names? Some say that Federer looks like a winner after his disappointment in France but the women's side seems wide open

Despite the fact that Wimbledon is steeped in tradition, there a few new things this year. First, there will be equal prize money for men and women – around £700,000 each. Second, the electronic line caller Hawkeye will be implemented on Centre Court and Court No.1. Any thoughts?

The UCI has introduced a new anti-doping charter, it announced today in Geneva.

Will this help the problem?

Gear follows fellow All Blacks Sam Tuitupou and Greg Rawlinson, Fiji international Netani Talei, Samoa star Loki Crichton and front-row giant Shaun Ruwers as new arrivals at Worcester following the club's survival in the Guinness Premiership last season. Are Worcester now genuine challengers to the established English club rugby hierarchy?
