INDIAN WELLS, Calif. Nike Free 5.0 UK . -- There could be just two Canadians in the Olympic tennis event when it is played on the grass courts at Wimbledon in London this summer. Only Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., ranked No. 27 in ATP singles, and Daniel Nestor of Toronto, co-No. 3 in doubles, are sure bets to be in the field when tennis starts July 28, the day after the opening ceremonies. Entries for the 64 players in the singles events will be based on the ATP and WTA rankings after the French Open on June 11. Currently No. 114 Vasek Pospisil of Vancouver as well as No. 86 Aleksandra Wozniak of Blainville, Que., No. 91 Stephanie Dubois of Laval, Que., and No. 112 Rebecca Marino of Vancouver, are well outside the No. 56 cut-off for singles. "Its really an amazing opportunity," the 21-year-old Raonic said of the Olympics. "Its a rare one and it will be something brand new to me. Its going to be about representing myself well, representing Canada well, playing some good tennis and making the best of it." "Everyone gets excited about the Olympics," said the 39-year-old Nestor, who won the gold medal at the 2000 Sydney Games with Sebastien Lareau. "For sure its going to be my last Olympics, so playing on grass and having had success at Wimbledon (doubles titles in 2008 and 2009) gives me hope with whoever I play with." Nestors potential partner is a hot topic at the moment, with the options being Pospisil or Raonic. Olympic tennis rules specify that a player ranked in the top-10 in doubles, as Nestor will be on June 11, gets to choose his partner. "Theyre both strong guys with big games and theyve proven theyre capable of playing good doubles," Nestor said of Pospisil and Raonic without giving away who he prefers to play with. Canadian Davis Cup team captain Martin Laurendeau of Montreal says the choice is up to Nestor. "Daniel has already played four Olympics and won 77 ATP titles," said Laurendeau. "He should decide who he will feel best with." As for Raonic, he said: "Its Daniels decision. I feel like I can put together a good level but its going to be about what he feels comfortable with. Hopefully its me." Nestor would normally be expected to also play the mixed doubles, a new event this year. But there are only 16 teams: 12 direct entries and four wild cards. There is a stipulation that all players must be on site and entered in either the singles and/or regular doubles events. While Wozniak, Dubois and Marino will likely not be in either event, Nestor thinks there is a chance one of them could receive one of the six wild cards, or two invitations, awarded by the ITF and the International Olympic Committee for singles. "I know they like to have as many countries as possible," he said, "so there might be a Canadian woman in singles." The mixed doubles is widely viewed as an attempt by the IOC to jazz up the tennis event and make it more fan friendly by having men and women competing together. Nestor is a skeptic, having concerns about the small 16-team draw size. "Its not really a sport if people dont practise it," he added. "In every other sport you can make the case that people get together and practise it full time. But in mixed you dont. "That makes it more of an exhibition and then, all of a sudden, you get an Olympic medal for it." Although the 2012 tennis event is being played at Wimbledon, the traditional all-white dress code will not be in effect. "Ill be wearing as much red as I can," Nestor joked.

Sandro Rosell is facing a lengthy legal battle after a judge in Madrid ruled on Wednesday he will hear a lawsuit that alleges the real cost of Neymars transfer from Santos last year was hidden. "I dont want unfair attacks to negatively affect (the) management or the image of the club. This is why I think my time here has come to an end," Rosell said, while insisting for a second time this week that the deal to bring Neymar to Barcelona was legal. Neymar, who is the poster boy of Brazils team going into the World Cup on home soil in June, joined for 57 million euros (then $74 million) in June, according to Rosell. The legal action, which was brought by club member Jordi Cases, alleges the real cost of Neymars transfer was closer to 95 million euros ($129 million) and that false contracts hid the real value of the move. The criminal offence of misappropriation of funds is punishable by up to six years in prison. The 49-year-old Rosell, a former Nike executive, said confidentiality agreements prevented Barcelona from revealing the exact amount received by Santos, and the three companies -- DIS, TEISA and N&N -- who owned shares of his rights. The lawsuit does not accuse Rosell of taking money from the deal. The case prompted Barcelonas board to call an emergency meeting, and Rosell announced he was quitting after more than two hours of deliberations. The transfer controversy is a blot on the reputation of a Catalan football institution that has long prided itself on being "more than a club" and is owned by its more than 160,000 members, who elect a president and executive board. And Barcelona, while top of the Spanish league, enters a period of uncertainty as it seeks to retain its domestic title and win the Champions League for the first time since 2011. Rosell, who was elected in 2010, said vice-president Josep Bartomeu will take his place and complete the pressidential term that expires in 2016. Nike Free 3.0 Sale UK. Under three full seasons of Rosells presidency, Barcelona maintained its winning run started under Joan Laporta with another two Spanish league trophies to go with the Champions League title in 2011 and the Copa del Rey in 2012. Rosell said he was leaving to reduce the stress on him and his family and lamented what he described as attacks from both outside and within the club, despite its continued success on the pitch. "Through this period of success, my family and I have suffered attacks that have made me wonder if being president means putting my family at risk and in anguish," Rosell said. As he resigned, Rosell trumpeted his role in ensuring "the best players in the world wear the Barcelona jersey." Rosell oversaw the signing of Neymar, Cesc Fabregas, Alexis Sanchez, Javier Mascherano, Jordi Alba, and Alex Song to further strengthen a team built around star forward Lionel Messi. Messi himself is going through his own legal difficulties. The Argentina forward and his father, Jorge, are waiting to hear if they will face charges in a tax fraud case after answering a judges questions last year about allegations they avoided 4 million euros ($5.3 million) in back taxes. Rosell steered Barcelona through uncertainty last season when treatment for throat cancer kept coach Tito Vilanova away for several months. Vilanova had to step down at the end of last season through ill health and Gerardo Martino was brought in to take charge. But while helping to establish Barcelona as Europes most successful team, Rosell also upset some members by putting paying sponsors on the front of Barcas shirts for the first time by striking deals with Qatar Foundation and Qatar Airways. Rosell has faced accusations about his business dealings away from the Camp Nou, with accusations in Brazil he illegally benefited from a friendly organized by his marketing company in 2008. By leaving his powerful job at Barcelona, Rosell also loses seats on influential committees within world football on FIFA and UEFA. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
