Melanie Oudin: Why She’s Primed for Another Cinderella U.S. Open Run

Melanie Oudin burst onto the scene last August in New York when she entered the U.S. Open unknown and left as a household name. The exciting run to the Quarterfinals a year ago makes Oudin’s return to Arthur Ashe Stadium a huge storyline, even though she has endured a horrendous 2010 season. Monday, Oudin advanced by defeating qualifier Olga Savchuk of the Ukraine 6-3, 6-0 and seemed to recapture... 

U.S. Open Tennis: 10 Potential Upsets You’ll See This Week

Elin Nordegren: Why She’s Hotter Than Ever After People Interview

The words of Elin Nordegren might make you think twice about ignoring all those tacky magazines in the checkout aisle at the grocery store. If not, the lure of never-before-seen pics might be just enough to do the trick. Nordegren broke her nine-month silence to the press and granted People an exclusive interview to discuss her story before, during, and after life with Tiger Woods. Here are 10 reasons... 

Roger Federer’s Open Challenge to Rafael Nadal: Bring ’em on to DecoTurf

From the ruins of Münchenstein Castle in Switzerland—which beautifully lies right above the center of the town Roger Federer grew up in—comes an undisclosed message. The context is Federer’s insertion of this line, “[Nadal] still maybe struggles a little bit on the faster hardcourts.” Five days later, he repeated, “Maybe US Open is a bit faster, so you... 

All-time Top 20 Women Players in the History of the US Open

Until 1897, only men were invited to play in the US Open. Women came on the scene of the “challenger” system which remained in place until 1911. Here the idea was that the defending champion could steam straight to the final and only had to win one match, when “challenged.” Like the men, the women competed on a grass court until 1974, when it was temporarily played on clay... 

U.S. Open 2010: Can an Unseeded Men’s Tennis Player Win Again?

Hard courts at times punish the way Nadal plays. Yet, he continues to amaze many with his ability to advance...

If this were all there were to the game then, yes, as the Dear Wife argues, you wouldn’t burn many calories.  What the untrained eye misses out on are the most important calorie-burning aspects... 

Barclays Golf: Matt Kuchar Wins in Dramatic Fashion

PARAMUS, NJ – If Martin Laird had won the 2010 Barclays, it would have been as a result of his six-under-par round of 65 on Saturday. But unfortunately for Laird, very few golf tournaments are won on Saturday. The 2010 Barclays was yet another reminder that golf tournaments are rarely decided before the back nine on Sunday. Some may say that eventual winner Matt Kuchar was the beneficiary of... 

The Top Americans With a Shot to Win the 2010 U.S. Open

Tiger Woods’ divorce from Swedish beauty, Elin Nordegren, is now final, and Elin decided to give her first (and supposedly only) statement on the matter to People magazine.
