Rafael Nadal: Player of the Month for April 2010

There’s something about the month of April that suits Rafael Nadal just fine. The clay suddenly appears like a magic carpet under his feet; his bandanna seems to fall out of place slightly more than on hard-courts, and his forehand readily jumps to the outer reaches of the court a tad bit more. In fact, April has historically been such a good month for Nadal that he’s captured 11... 

Can Phil Mickelson Overtake Tiger as No. 1?

Phil Mickelson knows he has to win The Players to take the No. 1 spot in golf from Tiger Woods.    There’s no doubt Tiger Woods is aware of it also.  He has to finish fifth or better to keep it.   “I’ve had it happen before,” Woods said, noting that both David Duval and Vijay Singh took the spot from him briefly. “The whole idea to be No. 1 and to continue... 

Tiger Woods: A Decision Made in Late 2002 Is Still Hurting Him Today

How does the old saying go? Oh yeah, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. It’s no secret that Tiger Woods has been struggling with his golf swing over the past two years. The fact that he still managed to win six events in 2009 and finished fourth at the 2010 Masters is simply a testament to his otherworldly talent and his uncanny ability to grind his way around a golf course.   Although... 

The Rome Masters Part One: Traveling in Hope

It is better to travel in hope than to arrive disenchanted. (Japanese proverb) This was an eventful expedition before it had barely begun. The pilgrimage to the Rome Masters was booked many, many weeks back, and almost immediately, there was something to worry about. The first scare arrived in the form of volcanic clouds, swept by uncharacteristic northerly winds from Iceland. The U.K. came to... 

How to Win: Lessons in Tennis from Rafael Nadal

Rafael Nadal was in personal turmoil last year with his parents being separated. He was in professional turmoil with a severe tendinitis injury in his knees, which surfaced at the Roland Garros ’09 and threatened again at Melbourne in ’10 with his premature retirement against Andy Murray. Most importantly, the “W”s next to his name were missing as he went title-less for 11... 

To Tiger Woods’ Mistresses: ENOUGH!

  I think I speak for just about everyone out there concerning Tiger Woods and his so-called mistresses’ when I say, “ENOUGH ALREADY.” I am SO sick and tired of seeing these women on the cover of magazines, on entertainment shows, and strip clubs, showing their goodies to world proclaiming their love for Mr. Woods.   I’m not saying Tiger isn’t responsible for... 

The Golf Blog: Putting My Way To a 93

I shot a modest 93 over the weekend on a 6,614-yard course, but the round had potential for so much more. Surprisingly, my putting was uncharacteristically off and failed me mostly on the back nine.  I’m usually pretty stable with the flat club—strategically playing for two-putts at the most—but this round couldn’t have been more up and down.  On two... 

TPC Sawgrass Preview: Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Pete Dye’s Gem

This weekend the PGA Tour makes its annual stop in Ponte Vedra, Florida for The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. The players love this tournament, and, outside of the four majors, consider this the most sought-after prize on the PGA tour. Even though it is a popular tournament amongst the players, it is not the fifth major. Sounds like one of my daughters trick word problems from her math class: If... 

For Formula One’s Jenson Button and Mclaren, Dream Start to 2010

The first three races of 2010 were very open with three different race winners from three different teams. Heading into China it was time to see if somebody could make a stand and edge ahead of the field as the title favourites. The majority were expecting Red Bull and Vettel to throw the gauntlet at their opposition, after their 1-2 in Sepang, and a Shanghai circuit which suited the team’s strengths. However... 

Why Red Bull’s Start Could Cost Them the Fomula 1 Title

So far in 2010 Red Bull are the team that have appeared to be the pacesetters. With the RB6 Adrian Newey has done it again and created another piece of machinery that all their rivals are petrified of. At the start of the season Lewis Hamilton said: “They have both got the fastest cars by quite a big step. They should be quite a lot further ahead in general.” However, despite their pace...
