Andre Agassi, Boris Becker and the Rivalry That Could Have Been

If it weren’t for Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi and Boris Becker could’ve had quite the rivalry. Both men tried to be rivals to Sampras, but rather unsuccessfully. Becker’s game matched up poorly with The Pistol’s, who had all of the German’s strengths plus better movement. The only truly real classic matchup between Becker and Sampras was the 1996 ATP Tour World... 

It’s a Wash: Predicting a Winner at Wimbledon 2010

Going into the 2010 French Open, everyone knew who would come out the victor.  It was bound to be, a sure-thing, and anyone would have bet with full odds on the King of Clay to surmount the field at Roland Garros.  Tennis can be a very predictable, almost predetermined sport at times and sure enough, Rafael Nadal gave the field a thorough thumping.  He played absolutely...

2010 Canadian Grand Prix: Complete Success!

The return of Formula One racing on the Gilles Villeneuve circuit after a year of absence was highly welcomed by racing fans who felt like it happened a decade ago. Starting from the pole for the third time in three appearances in Canada, Lewis Hamilton, in his McLaren Mercedes, has led the major part of the event and tagged his second victory in a row this season.

USA Vs. Slovenia: For the U.S. It’s Form Versus Function

In a recent interview, Bob Bradley claimed that his toughest decision is to choose between the current form of his players and their potential. Bradley’s job hasn’t gotten any easier. Without a doubt, the United States’ draw against England was a great outcome, but it’s not smooth sailing into the second round. Slovenia is a defensive-minded side who won its first game. They... 

Scowling Nadal, Joking Djokovic, And The Rain: That’s Tennis In London

June, and it’s time for British tennis fans to celebrate! It’s the grass season, and that means the best tennis players in the world are on their way to London for the wonderful month when tennis returns—literally—to its roots. The oldest, most prestigious and—for this openly biased Brit—the best Grand Slam beckons: Wimbledon. Few of us, though, even those who live...

Phil Mickelson   is still trying to take over the World No. 1 ranking... 

U.S. Open 2010: Tiger Woods Will Evoke Memories of 2000 Victory

However, he won’t win by 15 strokes this time around. It is no secret that Tiger Woods has struggled this year. Who could blame him?  With everything he has gone through off the course, combined with his swing inconsistencies, Tiger has every excuse for having a poor start to the 2010 season. Despite that, Tiger will quiet his critics this weekend, much like he did at Augusta in April. Pebble... 

Bruce Edwards: Remembering the Best Caddy

When the U.S. Open begins play on Thursday at Pebble Beach, many of us will drift back in time to the dramatic shot heard around the world of golf in 1982. Tom Watson, faced with a difficult situation to stay in contention on the 71st hole of the Open, hit the perfect wedge shot that went into the hole and gave him the boost he needed to beat Jack Nicklaus for the title. Watson ran across the green... 

Roger Federer: Intimidation No Longer a Factor

Before facing Andy Murray at the Australian Open this year, Federer stated, among other things, that Murray will have added pressure on him besides the obvious one of trying to win his first slam. “He’s playing, you know, me, who’s won many Grand Slams prior to that,” said Federer. He also claimed that the British public have been waiting for a “150,000 years”...
