Mercury is almost there. If it wasn't for it's eccentric orbit it would be tidally locked. (A "day" on Mercury is = to 176 days on earth, but a "year" is = to 88 days. One Mercury day is twice as long as one Mercury year.)
Also, we don't know which way Uranus is rotating because its axis is tilted 90 degrees with one pole pointing towards the sun on its "winter solstace" and the other on its "summer solstace". We just don't know which pole is north and which is south. ....And its day is just over 17 hours long, so its spinning way faster than us.
