Beatrice Capra: Where Does She Rank Among Top Teens Ever at U.S. Open?

Beatrice Capra, an 18-year old tennis player from Maryland, just managed an impressive win over No. 18 seed, Aravane Rezai at the U.S. Open.

Currently ranked 371st in women’s tennis, Capra is off to a good start, and we see flashes of past teen tennis stars... 

2010 U.S. Open Tennis Profile: Sergiy Stakhovsky Into Finals?

Sergiy Stakhovsky is one of my two dark horse picks to end up in the 2010 U.S. Open Finals. The other is Richard Gasquet, who will be profiled tomorrow. Neither exciting or particularly wonderful in any phase of his game, Stakhovsky has fairly good court coverage and is relatively steady from the backcourt.

After a Terrible World Cup, Now Is Wayne Rooney’s Time To Shine for England

Going into the 2010 FIFA World Cup, many people believed that England was a serious contender to win the World Cup. Why not, especially considering they had a fantastic manager in Fabio Capello and players such as Steven Gerrard, and John Terry that were hungry to win the World Cup?

Yet, in the absence, Romanian folklore of vampires lurks above. The...

US Open 2010: Questions That Need to Be Answered Before We See a FEDAL Final

After Roger Federer secured the No. 2 spot in the rankings with his win in Cincy, guaranteeing that he could not meet Rafael Nadal before the finals of the US Open, I fully expected the low hum of a possible Federer-Nadal final to whip itself into the full-blown frenzy of a swarm of African honey bees. But with Federer only now beginning his return to the form...
