Rory McIlroy

Geovanni

The Brazilian has come under fire for his attitude, recently clashing with manager Phil Brown and team-mate Daniel Cousin against Aston Villa. He returned to the side as a substitute in the home loss to Stoke last Saturday, but displayed enough graft and guile to suggest he's up for the fight to stay in the Premier League. Hull will hope he's on form at Bolton today.

Brendan McCullum

With rumours that Shah Rukh Khan is looking to sell his Kolkata Knight Riders franchise, the New Zealander will want to cause the owner to rethink by leading his side away from the bottom of the Indian Premier League. His side play the first of their last three games tonight, against the Deccan Chargers.

Ana Ivanovic

The world No7 pulled out of last week's Madrid Open with a knee injury and, although the Serb will resume training this week, doubts continue that she won't be able to defend her French Open crown this month.

Rory McIlroy

When the recently turned 20-year-old arrived at Wentworth for the BMW PGA?Championship last year, he was 175th in the world and missed the cut following two rounds of 74 and 77. Now ranked 19th, the Northern Irishman returns to the famous West Course as one of the favourites, and will want to finish top of the 150-strong field. His quest for glory starts this Thursday.

Sam Vesty

The Leicester back has been at the heart of the Tigers' fine form and will be key to their chances of winning the Guinness Premiership Final against London Irish at Twickenham this evening.
