Ones to watch

John Daly's Trousers

The Wild Thing is certainly living up to his name on the European Tour, where he is plying his trade during a six-month ban from the PGA. However, it's his "pants" that are attracting as much attention as his golf game and galleries at the BMW PGA Championship this weekend, and the European Open starting next Thursday, can be expected to be blinded by his choice of slacks again.


Maria Sharapova

The Russian returns to Grand Slam tennis at the French Open this week, after a 10-month lay-off with a shoulder injury. The former world No1's ranking has slumped to 126 during her absence, but she still has the tools to compete with the stars of women's tennis. A good showing in Paris will set her up for this summer's Wimbledon.


Eoin Morgan

The left-hander has to wait until tomorrow to make his England debut, after the first ODI with West Indies was washed out. Kevin Pietersen's replacement, he should play at Bristol and then Edgbaston on Tuesday.


Graham Alexander

The Scot is in his seventh Championship play-off campaign and has yet to sample the glory of promotion to the Premier League. He gets another chance to live the dream when his Burnley side take on Sheffield United at Wembley on Monday night. The experienced defender is now employed as a holding midfielder and will want his club's 61st game of the season to be his best.


Rocky Elsom

Leinster have the flanker to thank after he was the star of their Heineken Cup semi-final win at Munster. He will hope to repeat his heroics in the final against Leicester at Murrayfield tomorrow.
