Motorsport
Scots Formula One manager Craig Pollock is set to welcome his No.2 driver Ricardo Zonta back in time for this weekend's San Marino Grand Prix. The 22-year-old Brazilian has made a speedy recovery from the injuries he received when he crashed his British American Racing car at more than 100mph in his home grand prix just over a fortnight ago.
Speedway
ROSS Brady was yesterday working frantically in his workshop trying to re-build his blown engine.
The 18-year-old is one of three Scots going to the tape in tomorrow's British Under-21 Championship Final at Peterborough. But his engine packed in during Saturday's Premier National League win at Berwick Bandits on Saturday and he admitted he does not have the cash to send the engine to a tuner.
Brady, plus Edinburgh Monarchs team-mate Blair Scott from Edinburgh and Paisley-based Barry Campbell, on loan from Monarchs to Elite League side Belle Vue, are in the 16-strong line-up in the re-arranged meeting which was washed out on Friday only 60 minutes from tapes-up.
Tennis
Defending champion Thomas Enqvist and two other seeded players tumbled out of the BMW Open on the first day of the #312,000 clay-court tournament in Munich yesterday.

Boris Becker returned to action after his father's death last week and won a doubles match. ''The best thing for me is to play tennis and not to think about what happened last week,'' he said.
Becker, who plays fifth-seeded Wayne Ferreira in the singles today, and Tommy Haas defeated Hendrik Dreekmann and Carsten Vinck 6-4, 6-2.
