The match has just ended, and Maria Sharapova 's great triumph over Justine Henin at the Australian Open quarter-finals is still a shock to the system.Henin' has had winning streak over her last 30 odd matches but that has now come to a sudden stultifying end.Maria played brilliantly, some would even say magnificently. She won 6-4 in the first set, then proceeded to crush Henin in the second

Bad news for Manchester United. The win by Arsenal against Everton (4-1) means that Arsenal is ahead of Man Utd in the league table. It was by no means an easy win for Arsenal. The match was dominated by Everton's more skilful play but luck was not on their side despite an early lead with a goal after 19 minutes. Soon after the break Eduardo equalised and scored yet another goal at 58 minutes

I think it is only fair that the other side of the story should be told. Jonny Evans has claimed that the allegation of rape is totally untrue. He had only danced with the woman, and that her boyfriend attacked him on the dance-floor out of jealousy. It was only after this that the boyfriend called the police with the rape complaint.Evans is well-liked and is described as shy and well-behaved,

Details have now emerged that a Man U player Jonny Evans was arrested in connection with the rape report. He has been questioned by the police and is now put on bail.He is only 19 years old. One hopes that he is not guilty of the alleged offence. It's not clear of course how much evidence there is about the offence or his suspected involvement. A young man with a bright future should not

You've all heard the news by now. Floyd Mayweather beat Ricky Hatton after going for ten rounds.I am not normally too keen on boxing. I find two men going at each other trying to punch the daylights out of each other not that appealing, and sometimes even stomach-churning. But some contests are just very attention-grabbing, and such was the Mayweather-Hatton fight. Hatton, who hails from
