Samantha Stosur forgot to save her best for the last. On the all important Saturday it was Italy’s Francesca Schiavone who stole the thunder and left very little for the Australian to work with. Stosur has been the star of Roland Garros this year with her taut and imposing physique and, more importantly, her steely nerves that served her so well in matches against higher-ranked and more-experienced...

The world is that of Tiger Woods in the last, oh, let’s say six months. I don’t think I need to recap this period for anyone, do I? Let’s just say things haven’t really gone Tiger’s way of late. Colin Montgomerie,...

Note: this article was originally written before the next round of the Memorial Tournament where Tiger Woods shot well. We’ve seen everything has happened this year so far for Tiger Woods. During the Masters Tournament, the first time we saw Woods play for awhile, he couldn’t bring home the green jacket. It instead went to lefty, Phil Mickelson. Then about a month ago, Tiger Woods...
