Justin Rose is once again on top of a leader board, posting minus seven for two days’ play at the ATT National to lead Charlie Wi and Jason Day by one shot. Tiger Woods started off his day plus three after only six holes on Saturday. So he is toast, fried to a crackly crunch, for this event. Currently, Tiger Woods is a non-factor, speaking about tournament winning and competing at the highest...

The first time I watched Tomas Berdych play was in the fourth round of the US Open against Tommy Haas. He was only 18 then, but had already attracted some buzz for having knocked Roger Federer out of the Olympics in Greece just weeks earlier. And at the time, it was impossible not to already be impressed with his shotmaking. It was not like with Andre Agassi or Fernando Gonzalez, where...

Over the last few weeks, we’ve seen, what are called by many, several “upsets”. However, these upsets have been a worrying trend for Roger Federer. He suffered several defeats to players you’d expect him to breeze by in the masters tournaments and had a few bad losses during the clay court season. But then it came, at the French Open Robin Soderling went out there and just took...

So, it’s final! The last men and women standing at Wimbledon are Serena and Vera, Tomas and Rafael. Eleven days of tennis and the draw has whittled down to these four contenders for the throne at the green lawns at SW18. Could it have gotten any better than this? Of course, we will miss Federer and his balletic grace on the tennis court. We have grown so used to having his majestic presence...

Michael Schumacher is statistically the most successful driver in the history of F1, and he could also be the best driver to have ever raced. Of course, a few would always counter that there have been others like Juan Manuel Fangio, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda, Alain Prost, and Ayrton Senna who could have been better than Schumacher, but comparing drivers of different eras is tough, and the sheer success...

Yet again, with Nadal’s return to the top of men’s tennis, talk has begun on the possibility of him breaking Federer’s unfathomable 16 Slams (in a seven year span no less ). The most common argument is that Nadal is 24 and already has seven, on the verge of a possible eighth in his 10th Slam Final Appearance. In contrast, Federer had five at the same age. This argument is beyond weak....

Appetizer No. 1: Tomas Berdych vs. Novak DjokovicFrom the first ball toss, from the slump of his shoulders to the resignation stamped on his face, you knew that Novak Djokovic was not going to win this match. Djokovic stood on the baseline with a defeatist attitude and allowed Tomas Berdych to dictate play. It was as if the soul had been sucked from his game and the Serb simply went through...

As Gil Renard said in the disturbing 1996 film The Fan, “A simple thank you would have been nice.” Now, obviously Tiger Woods isn’t about to turn into Gil Renard and start kidnapping the world’s best players and bringing them to Newton Square, PA for the 2010 AT&T National, but a simple thank you would have been nice. Although Woods’ days of hosting the AT&T National...

Tiger Woods played three shots better on Friday, than the previous three over par on Thursday, but already has much ground for one mortal man to overcome. Notice the word mortal. Delilah has cut Sampson’s hair. Kyptonite has sapped all of Superman’s strength. The Flash ‘s ring broke and his suit won’t pop out. Say it isn’t so, Moe! How many times can a man tee it up, before...

It’s shots from places like this that will keep Tiger from mounting a charge on Friday, as his accuracy remains in question off the tee. We certainly are craving those close iron shots to the pin that result in tap-in birdies. Where are they, Tiger? It’s day two as Woods is minus one after six, after a disappointing first day plus three, while plenty of people are below par. People who...
