GOAT. Again. Of course, but we have a new contender, at least some say. El Toro is on the ballet now, after his completing of the European Double without dropping a set. Nadal definitely will have a legacy on clay, but does that make him a GOAT contender? Is he even in, say, the league of Borg or Lendl? Rafael Nadal won the French Open and Wimbledon without dropping a set. That makes eight Grand...

It’s time to say it. Rafael Nadal is the new Roger Federer. Sure, Nadal was No. 1 before, for almost a year in 2008. But he was laboring and battling, and Federer was in top form as well, so it didn’t really feel permanent. Now it does. Nadal is No. 1 again, and this time it doesn’t look like he will let go again. He’s 24 years old, and in many ways better than he was in 2008....

This 2010 PGA Tour season has been the most distinctive and electrifying in years. The surprisingly masterful play of the 30-and-under generation has produced more than 10 separate winners this season alone. Tiger Woods’ return to professional golf has generated an aura of gripping anticipation surrounding his every swing. But most of all, the PGA Tour has undergone a stunning metamorphosis...

After failing to reached finals at ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Indian Wells and Miami, losing in the semifinals to Ivan Ljubicic and Andy Roddick respectively, Rafael Nadal‘s first title of the year came at ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo, his sixth title in that event, and ending his 11-month title drought.

Through two majors and a good chunk of the golf season, there is no clear-cut favorite for a player of the year in golf. No one on the PGA Tour has won more than two events in 2010. The Fed-Ex Cup standings have Ernie Els in the lead, with Justin Rose second and Phil Mickelson third. Els and Rose have won twice each, Mickelson once. The other two-time winner on tour this year is Jim Furyk, who is fourth...

I could not help but notice the buzzards circling and swooping down on the scarred lawns of Centre Court as the media began to pick apart the skin and sinew of Roger Federer’s career. Eulogies sprayed the airwaves after Federer lost to Tomas Berdych in the quarterfinals. I especially enjoyed the barely contained but obvious gloat of former-players-turned commentators whose views of tennis...

The Championships at Wimbledon have come and gone, just like that. It has been a historic tournament, especially with the Queen’s visit (on June 24) and the longest match in tennis history (John Isner vs. Nicolas Mahut, first-round, June 22-24). In the end, though, it was all about Rafael Nadal, who claimed his second Wimbledon crown and his eighth major title. In doing so, he became the first...
