It’s also about great champions who have weathered all odds to be crowned king after two weeks of spilling their guts out on the lawns of Wimbledon. This show is dedicated to all the men singles champions starting with Bjorn Borg and ending with Federer. A tribute...

As the green lawns of Wimbledon are soon to be seen, it brings to mind how Venus Williams won here exactly a decade ago. We heard that shriek of joy, after hitting that ace out wide to win the match. We saw her give out a bagel in the championship match. We saw her raise her hands in the air, bring them back down, gritting her teeth. We saw here hit a service winner up the...

Houston, we have a slight problem. A little over two weeks ago I awoke with a flickering flash in my right eye. It was just off to the side and had little impact on my round of golf that day. About a week later, and a little bit more obstruction in my eye, I played two rounds of golf with my in-laws, but refused to succumb to the displeasure I was experiencing, at least for the second 18...

With the World Cup less than three days away from kick-off, all the focus is rightly being centered on the qualified teams. But what about the teams that didn’t qualify? How about the teams that have never qualified for soccer’s grandest stage.

Revolution is not a word commonly associated with golf. But try not to associate ‘revolution’ with America in 1776, the storming of the Bastille in Paris, or Berkeley in the 60s. Instead, think of it with regard to questioning established beliefs, exploring new ideas, and radical change. Q.E.B. (Questioning Established Beliefs) : Tiger Woods’ domination of golf has subsided. With...

This week’s Aegon Classic in Birmingham provides the first real glimpse of British talent ahead of Wimbledon. By the end of it, we will have a greater grasp on the potential that our homegrown players possess ahead of SW19. We will know who is capable of smashing through multiple rounds, and who is able to provide us with aspirations for glory. In recent years, the men’s game has had the...

It almost seemed unfathomable that Rafael Nadal’s record on the slippery surface in Europe could improve. Coming into this year’s clay season, the workaholic Spaniard had already won four Roland Garros titles, and 10 Masters 1000 crowns on the dirt. His disposition to dominate yet another clay season remained ever important, considering the down turn that his career had taken over the...

The Saint Jude Classic played at the TPC Southwind Course, in Memphis, Tennessee, was won by Brian Gay last year. He played very well, but so far this season has not won again. Maybe Mr. Gay can show a good defense of his title this weekend. Tiger Woods needs to be playing every event he can. The rust is evident and competitive golf in the trenches is actually the best practice he could possibly have. Also,...

2010 is the year of the Tiger, in more ways than one. But on the PGA Tour, 2010 has also been the year of the grooves. The new groove rules implemented by the PGA Tour with the intention of decreasing backspin on approach shots out of the rough prompted the largest outcry on tour since the emergence of metal drivers and belly putters. Phil Mickelson was accused of cheating for using a 20-year-old Ping...
