Tennis Bytes: Somdev Rises to 94, Federer Champions a Shorter ATP Tour

Somdev is hitting his stride and new heights on the ATP tour. His ranking has risen to 94; his best ever on the ATP tour. Somdev has been hovering in and out of the top 100 for the past few months.

Devvarman recently clinched the men’s singles gold at the CommonWealth... 

Formula 1: My Apology To Fernando Alonso

There are two things that I hate: being wrong, and apologizing. When it comes to my take on Fernando Alonso—I have been wrong, and I will reluctantly admit that I owe the man an apology.  Do not expect me to renege on my opinion that he acted like a diva in his one and only season at McLaren. That is one position that will never change. This year, however, I have to concede that Alonso is... 

Tiger Woods: When Will His Killer Instinct Return?

Kathy Bissell Watching Tiger Woods struggle on the golf course in 2010 wasn’t much fun for his fans, although his competitors had to have secretly enjoyed it.  After 15 years of running over his fellow golfers, this year, as the saying goes, he was the bug, not the windshield.   Since 1996, when he turned professional and won two events in less than two months of play, Woods has not... 

Fernando Alonso’s Formula One Legacy Determined By Win at Korean Grand Prix

Formula One fans tend to romanticize the past, as do other sports fans. In Formula One there are names that fans associate with eras, drivers that we think off as being “the greatest ever,” men that defined eras of Formula One for the fans and the sports itself men like Senna, Lauda and Stewart. Well there’s one new name to be added to that list Fernando Alonso. With his masterful... 

Roger Federer: Stockholm Title Is Launch Pad for Final 2010 Targets

Tennis fans in Sweden must have thought they had died and gone to heaven. Held in the week after the conclusion of the intense Asian swing at the Shanghai Masters, it is a time of rest for the top men on the tour. Ahead lays the final push through Europe to the last Masters in Paris and, ultimately, the year-end jamboree in London. Yet the beautiful, chilly city of Stockholm had not one but three of...

Cigar Guy and Golf’s Top 25 Characters

One of the great images of the recent Ryder Cup was Miguel Angel Jimenez (the most interesting man in the world) smoking his victory cigar. Somehow he became symbolic of the European team and their carefree manner. Another celebrity was born when a British golf fan dressed up like Jimenez during the Ryder Cup … and became “Cigar Guy.” On that note, here is a list of the top 25 characters... 

Jenson Button Still Favourite Despite Zero Points in Korea

But I don’t mean favourite to win, more that he is still many fans’ favourite despite a horrible race at Korea’s debut GP. This weekend was always going to be a seriously good race, and up to the point when I turned on the BBC coverage to see the worst rain all season, I still held out hope that it would be.  But then the first delay came, then the safety car start, then the... 

Mark Webber Is The Safe Bet For Red Bull Racing, But Who’s Going To Tell Vettel?

Red Bull Racing is in a difficult position. After its worst race all year in Korea, they find themselves with a real chance of missing out on the driver’s championship after being the dominant force all season. If that happens, the team will need to look closely at changing its name to Red Steer Racing. (Look up steer in a dictionary if that doesn’t make sense.) Against the odds, Ferrari’s... 

Anthony Kim: Did the “Loose Cannon” Party Too Much in Vegas?

After ditching Justin Timberlake’s Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, Anthony Kim has come under fire for his reported “party behavior.” The 25-year-old apparently threw a party in Las Vegas where he reportedly began spraying champagne from a $25,000 bottle of Dom Perignon all over a dance floor. There were even claims of up to 115 bottles being sprayed all around by...
