#1 In the World. Who Will Take it? Who Will Hold it at Year End?

Nearing the end of the clay court season and around the half way point of the year, we question who will be No. 1. With Roger Federer just a few weeks from the last record for him to break, (most weeks at No. 1), it seems he may have to wait a long time and travel a tough road to do so. With Roger Federer exiting Roland Garros early, the resurgence of Rafael Nadal, and the continuing struggles of Novak... 

French Open Tennis: Sam Stosur Vs. Francesca Schiavone Makes For Unlikely Final

2010 French Open Women’s Final: Sam Stosur vs. Francesca Schiavone……             What? Yes that’s right Stosur and Schiavone in the women’s final on Saturday. Who would have guessed that two veterans that have been on tour for over 10 years and never reached a major final would headline the women’s final.... 

Rafael Nadal, Robin Soderling Set for Heavyweight Fight

In the absence of yet another clash between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, the best Roland Garros final we could probably have asked for was this one, as Nadal seeks to overcome the only man to have ever beaten him on French clay. That man, Robin Soderling, has added another high-profile win this year, but on Sunday seeks to become more than just an answer to a trivia question.   Robin Soderling Last... 

French Open 2010: Women’s Final Live Blog; Sam Stosur vs. Francesca Schiavone

9:24 A.M: Sorry, there was an Internet problem for the first half hour. Currently it is 2-2 in the first set with Stosur up 40-30 and serving.  9:28: So here we are. The women’s final. Just a quick question, when the draws came out, did anyone think that either of these players would be here? Sure, they are both ranked, but there are so many more dominant players such as the Williams... 

French Open Men’s Final 2010: Will Rafael Nadal Beatdown Robin Soderling?

The French Open final has shaped up very interesting indeed.  What a relief Roger isn’t there, since we’ve seen the Roger/Rafa match-up on clay many times and it is not pretty.  (OK, it is pretty, but that’s the subject of a different article). Is a new rivalry being born between Robin and Rafa? Unlike Roger and Rafa, these are two individuals who don’t like each other,... 

French Open Men’s Final 2010: Robin Soderling Vs. Rafael Nadal

Their names have coherent phonetic qualities which are opposite. The first name and second name in each of the names almost rhyme with each other and have a very nice ring: Rob-in Soderl-ing and Raf-ael Nad-al . In the context, the “ing ” sounds almost like a phonetic antonym of “al .” Maybe this is even a better final than Federer-Nadal final, least of all due to the phonetics.... 

French Open Women’s Final Preview: Samantha Stosur Vs Francesca Schiavone

What a difference a year makes, especially in tennis.   Last year, it was Svetlana Kuznetsova who held the trophy, beating Dinara Safina in an easy straight-sets win. This year, after the French Open, Kuznetsova will fall out of the top 10, while Safina will be in the less-than-well-known group of the below 20s.   What a difference a year makes, especially at the French Open.   This... 

Nicklaus’ Muirfield Village a Great Spectator Course for Presidents Cup

One thing is sure about the 2013 Presidents Cup. Those who attend will be able to see most every shot—especially on the back nine—because Muirfield Village Golf Club had stadium golf before there was stadium golf. This dawn of a new era for spectators started in 1974 when the course opened. As Nicklaus wrote about Muirfield Village in Jack Nicklaus—My Story : “In designing the... 

Rickie Fowler’s Phenomenal Performance at Memorial

Tiger Woods’ neck is still in pain. Phil Mickleson’s putter is still streaky. Justin Rose is still searching/praying for a victory. But Rickie Fowler—well he’s just chillin’ at the top of the leaderboard. After two highly competitive rounds of play at the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Course in Dublin, OH, 21-year-old Rickie Fowler leads the event after... 

French Open Men’s Final Preview 2010: Rafael Nadal vs. Robin Soderling

It feels almost appropriate, doesn’t it? A year after wondering whether or not Rafael Nadal’s loss to Robin Soderling at the French Open was a byproduct of the Spaniard’s fragile knees, and not the Swede’s dominant play, the answer will soon be known. Soderling has an optimum opportunity to silence his naysayers. If Soderling defeats Nadal on Sunday, he clearly has the Spaniard’s...
