Lleyton Hewitt: The last time the former No. 1 Australian beat Roger Federer it was 2003, and Hewitt actually had more majors to his credit than the Swiss. To get this win in Halle, one week before the major where Hewitt has the best chance of breaking through again, is fitting. In previous encounters with the Swiss, the Australian’s storied consistency was no advantage, as Federer felt...

With the German team two up against Australia in the second half of their group ‘D’ game, it is interesting to see just how composed they are on the ball? The Germans need a win to keep up with Ghana who beat Serbia by a single goal earlier in the day. Germany who have come into the tournament with a young and relatively inexperienced side but with a distinct advantage over every other...

World Cup upsets continue, as 32nd-ranked Ghana beat 15th-ranked Serbia. This complimented the US tie with eighth-ranked England and South Korea’s take down of Greece. I can’t watch these upsets happening without the Official 2010 World Cup song playing in my head. “When I am older, I will be stronger, They’ll call me freedom, Just like a wavin’ flag”. These upsets...

I really hoped my favourite F1 event of 2010 wouldn’t disappoint and it certainly didn’t! That was without a doubt the best race this season, and if I’m honest, I can’t really see it being beaten. (well, maybe in Brazil?) Anyway, the racing was close, exciting and eventful and I can’t remember writing as much since that historic Brawn victory back in Australia 2009. The...

As the curtain fell on the first round of this summer’s test matches, it was plain to see that the three powerhouses of world rugby union, New Zealand, South Africa and Australia, were out to set the record straight. The All-Blacks, Springboks and Wallabies were keen to show that they were still the most dominant outfits on the pitch and they did so in some style. A ruthless New Zealand systematically...

The most important man at the U.S. Open is not Tiger Woods. Nor is it Phil Mickelson. In fact, it is not a golfer at all. It is not USGA National Director James Snow either. It’s not anyone on the board at the club. It is, in fact, a man by the name of Chris Dalhamer. “Who?” you ask. Chris Dalhamer (Doll Hammer) is the Certified Golf Course Superintendent at Pebble Beach. Why...

Kathy Bissell When Tiger Woods won his last major, the 2008 US Open, everyone figured it would be just be a couple of years before he matched Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major championships, counted the old-fashioned way (Without The Players). The talk last year was that he’d have a chance to do it at Whistling Straits, the PGA Championship site. Recent...

It’s hard to get excited for a tie, but we will take it. While the US didn’t exactly sack Bunker Hill like they did 250 years ago, they did go toe to toe with FIFA powerhouse England, resulting in a 1-1 tie. After Steven Gerrard scored for England in the fourth minute, the US seemed to be staring an opening game loss in the face. But right before half-time, American Clint Dempsey scored...

With all to play for in the important World Cup tie. England’s Three Lions and the Yanks of U.S.A. certainly made a tie a great one, with both sides having great chances, but it was a tale of two goalkeepers as one shone and one stunk. Begin Slideshow Read More →

Team USA came away with a highly credible 1-1 draw, despite Robert Green’s huge howler after he allowed Clint Dempsey’s tame shot to creep into the goal. The U.S. forced much of the game against an abysmally inept England who played about as bad as they possibly could. Clint Dempsey’s equalizer cancelled out Steven Gerrard’s early strike as Team USA were every bit England’s...
