Andy Roddick Forced to Retire from Queen's

Unfortunately, Andy Roddick has been forced to retire from his semi-final at Queen's after twisting his ankle in one of the early games. Running to the back of the court, Roddick was unlucky enough to twist his ankle when stepping on the edge of the court, which has a very small drop off to allow drainage. So, it will be American James Blake who meets Andy Murray in the Final of the Aegon Championships at Queen's Club on Sunday.

Commenting on his opponent's retirement James Blake said, "Normally he moves so well ... Today it just wasn't the same Andy Roddick." Speaking to the crowd afterwards Blake also took the opportunity to remind the crowd he was half British, we guess he's hoping for a bit more support on Sunday.

Andy Murray Through to Queen's Final

Congratulations go to Andy Murray who is now through to the final of the Aegon Championships being played at Queen's Club in London. The World Number three put in a commanding performance to beat Spain's Juan Carlos Ferrero 6-2, 6-4. Andy showed the form he was in by breaking Ferrero in the opening game of the match.

The other semi-final is currently being played between Americans Andy Roddick and James Blake, with play currently being suspended in the first set at four games to three in Blake's favour for Roddick to receive treatment to his right ankle.

Jonathon Ross Kisses Take That



Take That were appearing on tonight's Jonathon Ross Show (along with Jack Black, and foodie double act Sue Perkins and Giles Coren). Clearly lots of Take That fans were in the house as there was loud cheering when one of Take That's racier early videos was played (featuring Take That naked) and host Ross was telling the band how a lot of fans had contacted him online asking him to say hello to the band on their behalf. We think it was Mark who then said to Ross something like "What, give us all a kiss ..." which Jonathon Ross, after a quick rinse with mouthwash, duly decided to do. Gary and Mark seemed reasonably game, but Jason and Howard seemed a little more taken aback, and the unfortunate Howard had Ross sitting on his lap as he was at the end of the sofa. Fortunately, it didn't affect their performance shortly afterwards ...

Sophia is the Second Big Brother Eviction

Sophia is the the second person to be evicted from the Big Brother House, receiving over 90% of the public vote. Sophia is certainly not afraid to speak her mind, and her rule breaking and battles with Saffia probably cost her her place in the house.

Andy Murray Through to Semis at Queen's Club

Andy Murray has successful seen off Mardy Fish, 7-5, 6-3 at the Aegon Championships at Queen's Club, and is now through to face Juan Carlos Ferrero in the semi finals. Fish is a good grasscourt player with a big serve, so Murray found the match a good test.
