Li Na is back in business again. After dropping form rather drastically after her maiden Grand Slam success at the French Open in 2011, she seems to be back in business in 2013. Beating World No. 2 Maria Sharapova 6-2, 6-2 in the semi-finals of the Australian Open is certinaly no mean feat, and it'll be interesting to see if she can continue her excellent form in the final against World No. 1 Victoria Azarenka.
Also up this weekend is the FA Cup 4th Round. In a world where the Champions League is king and the BPL is entertainment galore, the FA Cup still finds a place in every football fan's heart for that magic Cup atmosphere it entails, with the 'cut & thrust' that only a knock-out competition can provide. Magical entertainment it is. And this weekend's matches have Stoke facing Man City in an all-Premiership belter, Brighton taking on Arsenal and Man Utd taking on Fulham. Everton are away to Bolton, and that's not gonna be an easy game for the Toffees.
On Sunday, three more big games come up; with Brentford v Chelsea, Leeds v Tottenham (what a game that promises to be at Elland Road; don't forget, Leeds knocked Everton out of the Capital One Cup) and Oldham Athletic v Liverpool.
