Is Tiger Woods ready to part ways with long-time caddie Steve Williams? According to Tiger, the answer is a definite no.

In January of this year, the clever men and women at the USGA started to implement their ‘cunning plan’ of limiting the size and shape of grooves on the club face.

Well, I can tell you that 2009 certainly wasn’t her year. Pironkova lost in the first round in nine consecutive tournaments, so her 2010 is already much better, and the year is only half over. Yet despite...

Andy Roddick is unfortunate. Unfortunate that he had to be born right around the time of two of tennis’ all-time greats, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Unfortunate that he came along right at the end of the United States’ most recent period of tennis dominance, headlined, of course, by Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Jim Courier, and Michael Chang. Unfortunate that, because...

Andy Roddick’s result at Wimbledon Monday mirrors the state of men’s tennis in the United States—generally showy but lacking substance. It is not enough to have a huge serve and powerful ground strokes, you must also pay the ultimate price which means putting in the compulsory hours to ensure you are mentally and physically fit to win a major championship. The No. 1 American,...

You may not have heard of him, but this 82nd ranked player is coming off the biggest upset of his career in which he made a Lu-ser out of Andy Roddick. Yen-Hsun Lu’s story is a great one. He is currently on one of the best runs anyone from the Chinese Taipei has ever achieved. He will continue that run tomorrow versus Novak Djokovic. Centre Court starting at 8:00 a.m. (1:00 p.m. London): Roger...
