2010 Wimbledon: Five Reasons Why Maria Sharapova Can Replicate 2004 Success

It has been six years since a 17-year-old starlet named Maria Sharapova cemented her name in Wimbledon folklore by becoming the third youngest player to ever win in SW19. The Russian teenager picked up her first Grand Slam title by upsetting defending champion Serena Williams, setting herself on the very real path of super stardom. 2004 proved to be Sharapova’s breakout season and her star continued... 

U.S. Open: Leading After 36 Holes Doesn’t Often Equal a Trophy on Sunday

Leading after two rounds of the U.S. Open sounds like a nice place to be, but not so fast. Very rarely, at least in recent history, does the leader after 36 holes go on to win the tournament. In the last six years of the U.S. Open, from 2004 through 2009, only one player who had the second round lead won the tournament. That was Angel Cabrera in 2007. Interestingly, Cabrera lost the lead after the... 

U.S. Open Golf 2010 Leaderboard: Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els Headline Weekend

The 2010 US Open looks to have a weekend of excitement with Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els on the leaderboard that includes Northern Ireland’s Graeme McDowell, two-time AT&T champ Dustin Johnson, and Japanese phenom Ryo Isikawa. Els, with two US Open trophies at home, understands what is required between now and Sunday. He was in good spirits, after his round, which he admitted was a great... 

2010 U.S Open Golf Post Play: Which Big Name Players Missed the Cut?

It’s done, it’s dusted and Round 2 of the 2010 U.S Open is firmly in the books.  Unfortunately though for most players, Friday’s round at Pebble Beach would be a day in which many would like to forget, due to a variety of poor play and overly disappointing results. Perhaps the biggest story to unfold out of Friday’s round was Tiger Woods’ once again turbulent performance. ... 

U.S. Open Golf 2010: Watson Hopes for Weekend Tee Time at Pebble Beach

Kathy Bissell   The Scots say if there’s “nay wind and nay rain, then it’s nay golf.”  Only they say it in a cool accent, probably caused by wearing those wonky kilts. Today at Pebble Beach, there was all three.   The second round began with a slight mist and breezes that sometimes gusted, but not nearly as briskly as in round one. The spitting rain came and... 

2010 US Open Golf: Is Ryo Ishikawa the Next Great?

Japan has been golf crazy for quite awhile now, and in all honesty, the world has been waiting for a truly great player to come out of that country for quite some time. While Isao Aoki and Jumbo Ozaki were fine players in their own right, neither won a major golf tournament and neither made that big of a splash on the PGA Tour. Isao Aoki would likely be known as the most successful player to ever come... 

The All-Motorsport Power Rankings: No. 67

Le Mans. The race is a dream, or rather a hallucination by the time you’ve been awake for the duration of the race. However, with 24 hours of racing comes 24 hours of drama, incident, and the kind of innocent comment that, in hindsight, becomes the sort of thing the Power Rankings love—perhaps sleep deprivation makes drivers and teams more prone to ill-advised comments? Anthony Davidson... 

2010 U.S. Open Golf Round 2: Tiger Woods Not Fairing Well

As day two of the U.S. Open came to a close for golf superstar Tiger Woods, it wasn’t hard to tell the star was frustrated. Finishing 1-over for the day, Woods had a hopeful beginning to round two when he saw his first two birdies of the tournament in the first five holes of the day. Things quickly started to slide downhill for Woods, and by the end of the day he ended round two with four bogeys... 

2010 US Open Golf Day Two: Now It Gets Interesting! Fantasy Update Bonus

The US Open leaderboard has changed dramatically from Day One. Ernie Els now stands at minus one and tied for second, along with my fantasy B- players Dustin Johnson and K.J. Choi, who are also at minus one. As I previously stated, any score under par could win this tournament as the USGA sets this course up for the weekend. An Open at Pebble usually provides a great test, with long... 

2010 FIFA World Cup: France Les Bleus Suffering From Team Transition

The French are staring down the barrel of elimination. But regardless of the players in the current side, and regardless of Raymond Domenech’s inability to manage the side, I truly believe the French are suffering from a deeper fundamental crisis. They are a team in transition, and have been since losing Zidane, the best player of his generation, yet alone of the French national team since Michel...
