A recent Formula One fan survey published in April’s F1 Racing magazine found that an overwhelming majority of fans thought that the season should start in Australia (74.6 percent). With that in mind (and despite the fact I am a Fernando Alonso fan), I would like to draw a line under the Bahrain GP and start 2010 again in Australia (and I don’t think I’ll be the only one!). QUALIFYING...

Five major championship winners are in the running at Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Invitational. That shows the strength of the field, as well as the quality of the course, which has been redone to rave reviews. Gone is the high rough that demanded a hack out or the axe club. It has been replaced with “Augusta like” chipping areas around the greens...

The party atmosphere is just as great, the beer is ever flowing and the crowds are packing it in at the 2010 edition of the Cathay Pacific/Credit Suisse Hong Kong Sevens. The usual established countries have turned up in force, but what is most interesting to note at this tournament is the variety of countries participating. Rugby 7s inclusion into the Olympics has seen a certain surge of interest...

With the World Cup just around the corner, England’s injury problems are beginning to mount. Ashley Cole and Aaron Lennon are very doubtful while David Beckham is definitely out. However, the solution is simple. Everton’s Spanish play-maker: Mikael Arteta. A product of Barcelona’s youth academy, Arteta has 12 Spanish U-21 caps to his name, but has never made the jump to the senior...

Bruno Senna had this to say Thursday in Melbourne when talking about Formula One’s testing ban on new teams: “I think, both for the new teams and the new drivers, it is very important to get some miles of testing. It would be great for us if we could test a little bit when we get to Europe after the first races, as we could take many of the kinks—the very basic things that we could...

Sit back and look at him. The great Ivan in full concentration about to hit that wonderful one-handed backhand of his. A stroke he hit very much like present day Roger Federer (if you don’t believe me take a look at these comparisons) When discussing the old greats, we often mention Laver, Borg and McEnroe. But Lendl is somewhat forgotten. He was not charismatic enough. For someone carrying the...

The root of the rivalry between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer began in Miami when the Spaniard was a teenager with a huge reserve of self-belief. As the 2010 Sony Ericsson Open begins in earnest this week, it might be interesting and informative to examine the tournament that set the bar for their future encounters. Early on, playing practically perfect tennis against Federer evolved into an...

With all the hype of the 2010 Formula 1 Season, I wanted to assure everyone, after the rather dull Grand Prix of Bahrain, that this will be, without question, the most exciting Season for F1’s History. It may be a blow out, or every race may be a bore, but notice I’m not saying it will be the best Season “in” F1 History, though I think it has a good chance to be in the Top...

The intention of this is to look at the top mens tennis players of all-time. One can make a great case for more than one player as the greatest of all-time. The oldest player here is Jimmy Connors. It’s awfully hard to compare tennis players going back to the time of Laver and Emerson and Budge and all those guys. Grand Slams are important. However, back in the 70s and 80s, the French and Australian...

Arnold Palmer is one of the great names of golf. He’s a name that will live with the Sam Snead’s, the Gary Player’s, the Byron Nelson’s, and the Jack Nicklaus’ of the PGA history books. His name is synonymous with greatness, grace, and is as humble as any one in history. When he speaks, you listen. So when Palmer was asked during his invitational tournament...
