2010 Wimbledon Widgets

1) Is it just me or did someone else get the impression that Roger Federer won not because he played better tennis, but because Falla suddenly realized that he was playing against arguably the greatest grass court player ever? Either way, on a day like that, even the great man himself acknowledged that he probably deserved to lose. For those that have already written him off, it might help to remember... 

Pressure? Come On, Dustin Johnson and England, Give Me a Break!

There seems to be a bit of a trend surfacing of late. Professional sportsmen are being excused poor performances due to the pressure of the situation. I don’t like it. I think it’s only right to admit from the start that this article is being fueled by anger towards someone I had a bet on that didn’t win. This is the journalistic equivalent of having an argument with your significant... 

So Much for Phil Mickelson’s Grand Slam

During the two weeks leading up to the 2010 U.S Open, the golf world was abuzz with the notion that Phil Mickelson would not only supplant Tiger Woods in the World Rankings, but also claim the second leg of the, much coveted, Grand Slam.  In order to accomplish that, a golfer would have to win all 4 golf majors in a calendar year, the difficulty of which cannot be understated. No one in golf’s... 

Wimbledon 2010: Roger Federer Barely Escapes First Round

  After making an early exit in the quarterfinals of the French Open, Federer claimed he’d rather focus on getting ready for a seventh Wimbledon title anyway.    The extra practice time didn’t show in his first round match against Alejandro Falla.   The defending Wimbledon champion claimed his goal was to get off the court in time to watch Switzerland play Chile in... 

Roger Federer Asks the Question: Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?

When Roger Federer takes Court No. 1 tomorrow, undoubtedly, he will fall to his knees to kiss the hallowed ground.  No, it is not the finals. In fact it is only the second round.  But Federer remains indebted to Wimbledon’s magic big time. The fabled lawns forgave his inconsistent play, and allowed Federer to return from the brink of disaster to see action another day—more precisely... 

How One Word Branded Tiger Woods the Villain and Phil Mickelson the Hero

Golf is the ultimate judge of one’s character. The US Open, held this past weekend at the sublime Pebble Beach golf course, revealed an indelible difference between professional golf’s two most talented competitors. And all it took was one word. Awful. When Tiger Woods used the word ‘awful’ to describe the quality of Pebble Beach’s putting greens after his first round...

Wimbledon 2010: Intriguing Storylines From Day Two

The knockout of the eighth seed, Fernando Verdasco, by the hands of the Italian Fabio Fogini was the only major upset in an otherwise routine day two at Wimbledon. None of the top seeds had to break any sweat during the course of their respective first-round matches. While their professional performances would give the writers very little to pen down, here are some of the story lines that can intrigue... 

2010 Wimbledon: Andy Roddick Leads American Men

An American hasn’t won a Grand Slam since 2003, when Andy Roddick won the US Open. Since then, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer have taken over men’s tennis, as Roddick has been the only American to try to hang in the top 10. That’s 22 Slams without an American win. Roddick, who came as close as anyone besides Nadal to winning Wimbledon since 2003, leads American hopes. Begin Slideshow  Read More →
