With four of the five drivers vying for the Drivers Championship making up the top two rows, the newly laid Korea International Circuit can expect a stern first test, and a lot of burning rubber! Earlier, in qualifying, Sebastian...

This weekend marks the beginning of the end for the 2010 title race, and what a platform on which to have it. The new Yeongam in Korea is looking like a great drivers’ circuit, and this debut race is plagued with teething problems, making the results of tomorrow’s Grand Prix all the more uncertain.

Well it was a fantastic achievement for South Korea to get the circuit ready in time, and whilst it was great to see so many supporters, I think many more experienced F1 fans will have found today’s session rather uniform and predictable. Qualifying One The green light opened proceedings and Kovalainen set the first time of 1:45:450. What followed was pretty much what has happened in every...

(October 22, 2010) Tennis is a numbers game and Roger Federer continues to deliver distinguished digits.

I shouldn’t have changed my mind. No, I’m not talking about my decision in 1983 not to buy Duran Duran’s Seven and the Ragged Tiger after being snubbed by the cashier at Great American Music when I was 12 years old—that was a smart decision. No, I’m talking about my reversal on last week’s Ohio State/Wisconsin game. In my preseason preview, I picked the Badgers to...

You can’t seem to have one without the other. Maria Sharapova has always been compared to Anna Kournikova and vice versa. Both are blonde, hot and Russian. Both play tennis, and both have dated guys in the spotlight. But who is actually hotter? Since they both are in the headlines today (Maria for getting engaged and Anna denying a breakup), let us compare. Begin Slideshow Read More →

The only discussion that seems to be going around is who is the greatest tennis player of all time. In order for us to take a break from that discussion and talk about something a bit more refreshing, I decided to compose a quick list of the greatest tennis quotes of all time. The list contains quotes from people inside the tennis industry and from outside the industry too. The quotes are not in any...

Roger Federer dialed up a momentous 900 number then disconnected Taylor Dent from the Stockholm Open draw, 6-1, 6-2, in 51 minutes. It was Federer’s 900th Tour Level match. The top-seeded Federer, who has never retired from a match, raised his record to 727-123 in becoming the only active player to hit the 900 mark. Federer set up a sweetly appealing all-Swiss quarterfinal showdown...

This is like a “run” recruiting blitz update today but with some tasty nuggets in there for you that follow the recruiting trail. The No. 1 safety in the country and current Alabama commit Hasean Clinton-Dix will be making another visit to Ann Arbor for the Illinois game with Dee and the Dr. Phillips crew (WR Chris Gallon, LB Darryl Monroe, S Roderick Ryles, 2012 QB Nick...

Roger Federer is overrated. Rafael Nadal is overrated. Their rivalry is overrated. Is any of this actually true? Men’s tennis is in an odd place. There are only two players worthy of in depth analysis, along with a handful of hopefuls who haven’t proven much more than the ability to hit a few flashy shots, dominate lesser players and occasionally push the world’s two best players. Obviously,...
