In 2010, there will be usual interest in various tours, who wins the Six Nations and Tri Nations, and whether potentially the All Blacks and Springboks can achieve a touring Grand Slam. But beyond it all will be how the big nations build towards a crucial World Cup countdown. Naturally, it is too far out even to begin to accurately predict who will be at Eden Park when the final is played out...

With a little over a week to go until the new season kicks off in Bahrain, here at Bleacher Report, we’re guiding you through the challengers for the 2010 season. Last season Jenson button stormed to wins in six of the first seven races, but this season looks to be much more closely contested.

Tiger Woods’ press conference two weeks ago served two purposes: First and most obvious was to clean up his image. The second purpose, which I feel has not been picked up, has been to save what endorsements he has left. The Tiger brand has been hit hard since this news came out.

I would like to delve deeper into this scenario. Lets look at Jana Novotna’s Wimbledon career first. On grass...

It was obvious for a long time to everyone in F1, and to the sport’s legions of fans, that US F1 were not going to make the grid in 2010. Alas, it didn’t seem obvious to the sport’s governing body, the FIA, that a team without a car is not well-placed to compete in F1.

Continuing the rather bizarre series of F1 testing photos that have adorned the front page of the Power Rankings in recent weeks here were have Jarno Trulli. Jarno here is imitating what I imagine you see from the feet end of a woman giving birth. To a gremlin. This week saw the month of F1 testing draw to close (before two teams even managed to turn a lap) and it was those two teams who have stolen...

Perhaps Federer’s insane brilliance spoiled us. Perhaps too much pressure has been placed on the very talented, but very raw youngsters of the game. Perhaps we are all simply too hard to please. No doubt Serbia’s own Novak Djokovic would agree with all of the above mentioned thoughts. After all, we have been patiently waiting for the talented Serb to explode and challenge Roger Federer...

Seemingly far removed from the best days of his career, an eager and determined Juan Carlos Ferrero poured in a devastatingly consistent month in February to capture Player of the Month honors. Recording an envious 14-1 record throughout the second month of the season, Ferrero won back-to-back titles in Brazil and Argentina, while advancing to the finals of the 500 point event in Acapulco, Mexico before...
