Juan Martin del Potro: Another Tennis King in the Making?

The road to the top of men’s tennis is no cake walk. Just ask Juan Martin del Potro, the aspiring man with the damaged wrist. The Argentine upped his ranking as high as No. 5 in the world after defeating then-No. 1 seed Roger Federer at the finals of the U.S. Open in 2009.  Last year’s champion, however, will not be able to defend his Big Apple crown in 2010.

Men’s Tennis at the Olympics: Gold Medalists in the Open Era

Tennis was re-introduced as an Olympic sport in 1988, and the initial response was lukewarm. Most players regarded it as something similar to the Davis Cup; you played if you felt like it.

Liverpool Can Not Guarantee Fernando Torres Will Remain at Anfield

Fernando Torres’ agent, Jose Antonio Martin, has conceded that the striker could leave Liverpool for another club in the Premier League.

Wimbledon 2010: In Hindsight

Cometh the hour, cometh the man! Or woman! And may it never be said that Serena and Rafael don’t know how to party! They came to the Wimbledon party and how!
