MADRID - Barcelona defender Carles Puyol is in a battle to be fit for the Copa del Rey final on Wednesday, the second of four clashes with Real Madrid inside 18 days which will go along way to deciding both clubs' fortunes this season.

LAHORE - The final of the Patron's Trophy Grade-II Tournament remained suspended for the second day due to heavy rain in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The match is being played between UBL and Medicam at the Pindi Stadium, Rawalpindi, but the downpour on Sunday and Monday has left the outfield unplayable. UBL was in a dominating position on the first day of the match and is likely to win the title due to a better standing in the match.
Scores: UBL 316 in 79 overs:

MONTE CARLO - Rafael Nadal needed to produce one of his most stunning performances on clay on Saturday to edge an injured Andy Murray 6-4, 2-6, 6-1 and book a place in the final of the Monte Carlo Masters.
For the 15th time in the last two decades, a Spaniard will figure in the title match at the Country club, with six-time winner Nadal bidding for a seventh straight title here against compatriot David Ferrer.

MONTE CARLO - Fourth seed David Ferrer ended the upset run of Jurgen Melzer 6-3, 6-2 to reach the final of the Monte Carlo Masters on Saturday. The scrambling Spaniard set up half of a potential all-Spanish final as he awaits an opponent from six-time winner Rafael Nadal and the surprisingly on form Andy Murray, seeded third.
That match was delayed after an announcement was made to the crowd that Murray had injured his elbow during a practise session and was receiving treatment.

MONACO - Fourth seed David Ferrer roared back from a shaky start to cruise into the Monte Carlo Masters final with a 6-3 6-2 win over Juergen Melzer on Saturday.
Austria's Melzer was inspired when beating Roger Federer on Friday to prevent the top four seeds all reaching the semi-finals at the beachside Monte Carlo Country Club but he was only half as potent against the dogged Spaniard.
Melzer broke early for 2-1 as Ferrer struggled with his first serve but the Austrian
