| Ronaldo, Kaka eye new golden Real Euro era |
|  Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, who cost Real Madrid over 150 million euros, aim to lead the Spanish giants to a 10th European title this season, with their campaign starting in the humble surroundings of FC Zurich on Tuesday.
Ronaldo, the world's most expensive player, insists the historic winning mentality at the club will be key to driving them to a place in the Champions League final which will be staged at their Santiago Bernabeu home in May next year.
"This is a club used to winning, a lot of the players here are winners, but now it's about a new team and a new squad," said Ronaldo, keen to dismiss comparisons with the Galactico era.

| Clijsters Wins U.S. Open Women’s Title |
|  Kim Clijsters made history Sunday night, capping a comeback from two years out of tennis to become the first unseeded woman to win the U.S. Open — and the first mom to win a major since 1980 — with a 7-5, 6-3 victory over No. 9 Caroline Wozniacki.
When it was over, Clijsters collapsed to the ground and started crying — tears of joy, probably mixed in with a little bit of shock, too. Her 18-month-old daughter, Jada, was in a suite with a pacifier in her mouth.
Guess what mommy got for you, sweetie! A Grand Slam title.

| Del Potro stuns Federer to win US Open title |
|  Juan Martin del Potro dethroned five-time defending champion Roger Federer 3-6, 7-6 (7/5), 4-6, 7-6 (7/4), 6-2 to capture the US Open on Monday, ending an era to win in his first Grand Slam final.
Firing consistent winners, the 1.98m Argentine giant kept the pressure upon the player many hail as the greatest in tennis history, one he had never beaten in six prior attempts, and won a shocker after four hours and six minutes.
"A dream came true," said a tearful Del Potro. "I don't have words to explain how I feel."

|  Man Utd striker wants to erase memories of Germany 2006
Wayne Rooney is determined to erase the memories of the last time he appeared at a World Cup next summer in South Africa.
The Manchester United striker was sent off in the quarter-final after being adjudged to have stamped on Portugal defender Ricardo Carvalho in Germany 2006.
The 23-year-old had to sit and watch from the stands as England saw their World Cup dreams evaporate as they lost on penalties to the Portuguese.
