Seven-time world champion Valentino Rossi, on a Yamaha, kept title-chasing Australian Casey Stoner on tenterhooks with victory in the Portuguese MotoGP on Sunday. Rossi came over the finish line just ahead of Dani Pedrosa after a tense battle with the Spaniard to claim just his fourth victory of the season.
Marat Safin admitted he was still struggling with his confidence despite battling to a first-round win over Italian qualifier Fabio Fognini at the Estoril Open on Tuesday. The former world number one suffered a debilitating knee injury last year that kept him out of the game for seven months.
