Sports update

It's an All-American women's finals on Saturday, Serena disposing of Maria to battle Lindsay who beat Nathalie in their semis. Marat Safin beat Roger Federer in 5 sets to meet the Roddick-Hewitt winner in the men's finals on Sunday.

Watch out for this boy wonder: Brazilian phenom, 9 yr old Jean Carlos Chera is catching the attention of pro teams like Manchester United. As SI says: At this rate, sonograms will become a soccer recruiting tool pretty soon. Another Freddy Adu?

THREE OF THE BEST
It was an exciting evening of Italian Cup action at the San Siro as Milan overcame Udinese 3-2 in their quarter-final first leg. It was also a special night for three Rossoneri stars in particular as Massimo Ambrosini grabbed two goals and hit the post, Serginho scored the winner, with a wonderful curling free-kick and Pippo Inzaghi made his long-awaited return from injury, coming on as a substitute in the second half. However, the popular striker injured his hand in a collision with goalkeeper Morgan De Sanctis and x-rays on Thursday confirmed he had fractured and discolated his thumb. Hopefully, it will not mean another extended stay on the sidelines for Pippo. The Rossoneri will now take a precious lead into the return leg in Friuli, but just as importantly, it was the perfect way to overcome the disappointment of the Livorno game and prepare for the Serie A encounter with Bologna at the weekend.
