yet? harry kane's statue is unveiled — we hearfrom the england captain on his bronze double. we catch up with the england amputee team after their world cup and meet the next generation, who've been inspired by their success. tennis now, and legend of the sport, rafa nadal will take to the court tomorrow for his final tournament in his illustrious career. the 22 time grand slam champion is playing for spain in the davis cup and — after two decades in the sport — says he will retire at its conclusion, but could his emotions get the better of him? i cannot predict what's going on, but if i am on court hopefully not. i am not here... i'm try to here to help the team and then it's going to be my last week on the professional tour, but at the end we are here on

do not need to be announced until the tie begin. we haven't had much of a chance to watch rafa nadal practice but we did see him for 20 minutes or so the other day and he was playing roberto but esther... on the evidence of what i saw it should be bautista playing singles. you have to remember that rafa nadal is now 38 and has a litany of injuries behind him. even in the olympic games he was struggling and moving not nearly as well as he would need to, and he has played just two exhibition matches in saudi arabia. it is unlikely that he will play singles but there is a lot of demand here in spain especially from people who paid a lot of money for tickets to see him play one last time. let’s to see him play one last time. let's switch now- -- _
