Nikolay Davydenko of Russia has been accused of match fixing. His agent, of course, is refuting the accusations and claims that Davydenko merely pulled out of his match due to an injury. This is not the first time that match fixing has been an issue in tennis. What do you think of the issue?

Andy Murray is back! Many Britons believe that Murray has the makings of a Grand Slam champion. Will he be able to snatch the US Open title from the other Andy in tennis?

The WTA has introduced a new statistic that measures which player hits the ball the hardest. So far, Venus Williams is ranked the number 1. Is this a surprise to anyone?

The US Open is the only one of the Grand Slam tournaments in which the final set is also decided on a tie break. The others require a final advantage set (in which the winner has to have gained a lead of two games to clinch victory). Which method do you prefer?


Cricket

The final Test between India and England starts today. Can India, who lead the three-match rubber 1-0, win a series in England for first time in 20 years?

Luke Wright in the England squad for the Twenty20 World Cup. This is, indeed, a recognition for a great talent. How will they fare with him on their side?

Can Paul Collingwood really succeed as captain of the ODI squad?

England continue their World Cup build-up with a Twickenham clash against France on Saturday. Was last weekend's 62-5 thrashing of Wales just a one-off against an under-strength Welsh side - or a sign that coach Brian Ashton is getting it all together at the right time?

Ashton has made 11 changes for the France game - including dropping Jonny Wilkinson to the bench and bringing in Mike Catt, who will be 36 next month, as captain. Good idea - or a wasted opportunity to test his best team against formidable opposition with the World Cup just four weeks away?

Scotland's World Cup build-up includes home matches with Ireland on Saturday and South Africa on August 25. The Scots are seen as rank outsiders for the World Cup but have a habit of upsetting the odds when dismissed as no-hopers. Is their squad as bad as the World Cup betting suggests?


Cycling

Next pro tour race is the Deutschland Tour starting on Friday. The Germans have reacted to the drugs affairs in the tour: Only a promise from the UCI that they'll conduct 200 drug tests made it possible that the World Championship will be held in Stuttgart. Will this help?

Michael Rasmussen appeared in a yellow jersey during the Tour de Charlottenlund on Monday, his first race after being forced out of the Tour de France by his former team, Rabobank. The case has become quite sordid – how do you think this affair should have been handled?

The difference between cycling and other sports: In 2004, US baseball player Barry Bonds confessed that he's been using drugs. Yesterday, he became a hero after breaking the world record for home runs. We can find a few riders who were accused (but not proven guilty) of using drugs and haven't found a job since then. How do we make sure that the world of sport remains clean?
