Wimbledon 2010 has been a royal occasion in more ways than one. Sure, the current queens of the tournament, Serena and Venus Williams, top the seedings and have sailed through to their rightful place in the second week. Of course, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal top the men’s list and have, rather less regally, sailed into Week Two. But on Thursday, the questions these players were asked related...

If you don’t know by now, England was eliminated from the World Cup by Germany this afternoon thanks to, in part, a shocking decision by the match officials. The game ended 4-1, so in some ways the goal that never was is academic, but it came at a critical time in the contest. England would have drawn level with the Germans had Frank Lampard’s strike gone in. England were in the ascendancy....

There is a cartoon that you may have seen that has a bird eating a frog. The frog, as you might expect, is not keen to be swallowed and has his little froggy hands wrapped tightly around the bird’s throat. The caption reads “never, ever give up.” Obviously, Lotus F1’s Heikki Kovalainen has this cartoon on his bedroom wall as a motivational poster, because his battle to...

I realize many of you will argue that the Webber crash alone made this race at least a little exciting. However, whilst I agree the incident was indeed tense (and thank God both Webber and Kovalainen walked away safely), the resulting safety car actually made the race even more boring than it otherwise would have been.

Andy Murray has everything a counterpuncher needs: speed, consistency, feel, and intelligence. Plus, standing 6’3”, Wimbledon’s fourth seed has a couple of things that even the game’s best counterpunchers—from Bjorn Borg to Mats Wilander to Lleyton Hewitt—didn’t have. Those guys had to serve clutch and take care of their volleys when they came to net, but...
