Robin Soderling Wins First Masters Title and Andy Murray’s No. 4 Ranking

Gael Monfils had a new face on when he walked into the boiling Paris cauldron of the last Masters showdown of the ATP year. His long angular features were deeply carved by an intense circle of light, and the look spoke volumes. This was a man determined not to walk away, for a second consecutive year, holding the runner-up trophy. Behind him came the piercing Scandinavian eyes of a man completely centred... 

Tennis Kaleidoscope:Roger Federer, Robin Soderling, Monfils, Llodra Runs

Often the site of tedious matches, the BNP Paribas Masters is played in arguably the worst part of the tennis season.  This year, however, had just about the best matches the whole year! Michael Llodra’s run certainly tells us he’s on the rise.  It’s no fluke.  He had three match points to reach the final, but for the veteran, the semifinal was a feat.  Watch out... 

Robin Soderling Claims Maiden Masters Title in Paris

Robin Sordeling, a two-time French Open finalist, played a very intelligent and practically faultless match to claim his first Masters 1000 Series title 6-1, 7-6 (1) against home favorite Gael Monfils. Both sportsmen prevailed through long and grueling semifinal matches the previous day after saving break points in their respective matches, so it was interesting to see how each player would feel on... 

Robin Soderling Clinches Paris Masters in Style: Heartbreak for Monfils Again

Robin Soderling takes home the Paris Masters for the first time. Monfils could not use the momentum generated by the crowd to make inroads into the Swede’s game. The first set was an one-sided affair with the tall Nordic breaking twice to take the set 6-1. The Monfils of old was back in the second set, but Soderling was just too strong and held his nerve in the tie-break to take the title. Even... 

Sabastien Vettel F1 Champion, But Did We Really Get the Showdown Promised?

OK so I’m an Alonso/Ferrari fan, I make no secret of that fact. I realize that by criticising the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix I’m leaving myself open for easy criticism. However, to be perfectly frank, as F1 fans, can you really sit back and state that the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was anything other than a disappointment? Sure, 2010 has been a roller coaster season and the final event was tantalising,... 

Sebastian Vettel 2010 World Champion As Ferrari Lets Fernando Alonso Down

Anyone who was foolish enough to write a script for the finale of the 2010 Formula One season would have been sorely disappointed with how the players treated their script. After qualifying more or less went the way everyone expected—with the exception of Mark Webber’s failure to outpace championship rival, Fernando Alonso—the race delivered surprises, disappointment and a few moments... 

Tiger Woods’ Putting Woes Are All a Matter Of Mind, Grasshopper

At the risk of being branded “sexist” and writing sexist “garbage” simply because I’m female, I feel compelled to reiterate something I wrote yesterday. That is: “Tiger Woods no longer wins golf tournaments because he no longer can putt. And he no longer can putt because he’s a lust rat who got caught, and it very much still preys on his mind.” If that... 

Sebastian Vettel Crowned 2010 Formula One Champion in Abu Dhabi

The 2010 season has been as amazing as usual, but for the first time in years, the championship could have been won by any of four racers in the final grand prix. Webber, Vettel, Alonso…and Hamilton all had a chance of being crowned world champion at Abu Dhabi. The spotlights from the new circuit lit up the track, making it a spectacle to watch for the millions of F1 fans around the world. Alonso... 

Soderling Hangs Tough to Oust Llodra, Fededer Capitulates To Monfils

It will be Robin Soderling versus Gael Monfils this Sunday at the Paris Masters but not before both protagonists overcame hiccups en route to the final. The first semi featured Michael Llodra—on a hot streak—against Swede Soderling. The initial set went with serve 6-6. And it was Llodra—playing with the foot pressed to the accelerator—who romped home 7-0 in the tie-break. That...

He accomplished this by receiving the ball and kicking it directly into the right angle of the goal net surprising Cesar Lozano (the goalie for San Luis).
