Michael Ballack Out! For Germany’s Young Stars, the Future Is Now

German captain Michael Ballack has officially been ruled out of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa due to a right ankle injury he suffered in Saturday’s FA Cup Final win over Portsmouth. Injury scans were supposed to take place on Sunday, but Ballack’s ankle was too swollen to proceed with the examination. A dark harbinger for the news German fans were about to receive. An... 

PGA Tour Stays South :San Antonio,Irving, and Fort Worth, The Texas Swing

The Valero Texas Open, the first event of the Texas Swing was won by Adam Scott. Scott played very well all weekend and finally ended his two-year win-less streak. This week brings the HP Byron Nelson Classic, which will be played at the TPC Four Seasons Course, Las Colinas, in Irving, Texas. Rory Sabbattini is the defending champion here, but is not playing well enough of late to be a major factor. I... 

Roger Federer: Loses a Match, But His Fans and His Game Still Intact

Well, Roger fans, he lost another epic match against Nadal.  Although we have seen a pattern here from the last five years, there are some encouraging signs that Federer will be looking at moving forward to Rolland Garros. First, the Madrid finals match was a tight affair.  The momentum was not one sided, and to say that Nadal dominated would hardly be fair to anyone watching the match.  Federer... 

ATP Tennis Power Rankings: Madrid Master Rafael Nadal Eyes French Open

Who would have thought it would be a year to the day before the tennis world saw another Rafael Nadal vs. Roger Federer face-off? And who could have predicted that it would, as it was 12 months ago, be in the final of the last clay Masters of the year, in Madrid? The balance of power as they entered the home straight this year has, though, looked a little different. 2009 began with Nadal as world No.... 

The Roger Federer-Rafael Nadal Rivalry: 21 and Counting

Sampras vs. Agassi? Becker vs. Edberg? Lendl vs. Wilander? No, it is Federer vs. Nadal. Never has a sports rivalry meant so much since Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova battled for supremacy in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It has far surpassed the Bjorn Borg vs. John McEnroe contests because Nadal and Federer have played longer, more often with much more riding on the outcome. The battle... 

Over the Hill: Michael Schumacher Ridiculously Penalised in Monaco

Over a decade after his retirement from Formula One racing, Damon Hill has walked straight back into controversy by handing his former nemesis, Michael Schumacher, a ridiculous penalty in the wake of an otherwise forgettable Monaco Grand Prix. Hill, the man who ended his career by pathetically retiring his fully functioning car because he was “so far down the field, there was little point in... 

Swing and a Miss! Federer Can’t Hold It Together Against Nadal in Madrid

The final point was almost as comical as it was a summation of the entire match. After getting the mini-break back, Roger Federer served to even the score in the second set tie-break at six apiece, only to swing and completely miss the Rafael Nadal return which had caught a bad bounce just beyond the service line. Game, set, match Nadal , who won his 18th Masters crown Sunday with a straight-set 6-4,... 

Low, Germany Hold Collective Breath As Ballack Undergoes Injury Scans

German skipper Michael Ballack could still be fit enough to captain Germany in the World Cup despite injuring his right ankle in the FA Cup final against Portsmouth on Saturday.  Ballack was substituted by Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti in the 44th minute after being on the receiving end of a hard tackle from Portsmouth’s Kevin-Prince Boateng. Ancelotti said afterwards, “We... 

The FIA and Consistency

  Sunday’s Monaco Grand Prix was overshadowed by an incident involving old sparring partners Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso. Due to the spectacular crash between Karun Chandhok and Jarno Trulli at Rascasse corner, the Safety Car was called upon three laps from the end. The flash point came when the German veteran slid up the inside of Alonso at the final Anthony Noghes corner after... 

Tiger Woods: Still an American Hero

Where do we draw the line between what a player does in their sport versus what they do in their private life? Problem is, some athletes’ private lives aren’t so private. This is where the line gets rather obscured, and at times, starts to fade. Tiger Woods is arguably the most recognizable sports figure in the world; certainly of current athletes. Michael Jordon might give him a run for...
