All the top names were present and correct except for the injured world No. 5 Juan Martin Del Potro. The biggest draws in men’s tennis, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, were both back from injury or... 

Ten Players Who Badly Want to Beat Tiger Woods at The Masters

Tiger Woods will make his long-awaited return to the PGA Tour at The Masters beginning on April 8.

Welcoming Tiger Back At Augusta

Four months after the world wondered why Tiger Woods plowed his Escalade into a fire hydrant, the world’s most recognizable athlete emerged a changed man in an interview at his home in Isleworth, FL.

A Few Lessons Learned From Indian Wells

With the first Masters series well done and the tennis season heading into some very busy and exciting months with Miami coming up next followed by the clay-court season, Roland Garros, and Wimbledon, what can we expect? Where are we left after the last one-and-a-half weeks of tennis display? I bet that no one, and I mean no one, imagined that the respective winners would be named Ljubicic and Jankovic?... 

Lewis Hamilton is Confusing

Lewis Hamilton has been quite the quote-giver lately. He’s gone on the record numerous times discussing the Bahrain GP, the next race at Albert Park in Australia, and various cars in the field.

Super 14 Power Rankings: Round Six

Six weeks into the 2010 Super 14 and it seems that the competition is no easier to predict. It should start to become clearer after we see the Bulls and the Stormers on their road trip in New Zealand and Australia. This will be telling as the South African sides are never so good away from home, as has been seen with the Lions and Sharks so far this year.  Week six produced a mixed bag of games.... 

Nadal Falls to Ljubicic: Still a Server’s Game When You Serve Like Ivan

Rafael Nadal made his long awaited return to competitive tennis after a scare that saw him retire against Andy Murray at the Australian Open due to pain in his recently suspect knees.

Andy Murray Needs To Be Out of His Normal Game Against Roger Federer

The very best players in the world stand out from the rest of the pack by a very long way, and often in astonishing fashion.
