Tomas Berdych has been very annoying this year. In fact, he has been annoying throughout his career. True tennis fans cannot seem to like him, because every time anybody begins to think “okay, this is his time” he goes on to disappear into the mist and out of the tennis circles. In his first full year on the ATP tour he shocked the world by defeating the then-No. 1 seed Roger Federer at...

This week’s batch of Official World Golf Rankings that were released on Monday finally featured what we had suspected would come for most of 2010: That somebody would finally dethrone Tiger Woods at the top of the list, the first time Woods would not be No. 1 since June, 2005. Tiger had appeared at the top of the list since 1998 with short reigns of Greg Norman, Vijay Singh, David Duval...

The British capital has a lot of things going for it, but the November weather is not one of them. By the time the best men in tennis reach London for the World Tour Finals, the autumn leaves will have fallen and the air will be cool and damp. Since dusk arrives at around four in the afternoon in late November, the players will get precious little daylight, let alone sunshine! In contrast, their female...

The All Blacks will begin their challenge for a fourth grand slam, playing the opener against England at Twickenham this weekend. Traditionally, this is one of the toughest and most demanding tasks in world rugby. But somewhere along the line, the Grand Slam seems to have lost its value. For those unfamiliar with the concept of a grand slam, it refers to a touring team playing, and beating, the...

Every now and then you hear an argument as to who was the best at his/her sport.

Please keep in mind that I am in my 30s and my view is obviously influenced by the players who use modern equipment. I do however include some of the “old timers” on this...

David Ferrer hit zero aces in his match against Guillermo Garcia-Lopez on Tuesday. For most, that would spell imminent doom. Ferrer made below 60 percent of his first serves in the contest. For most, that would be too much to overcome. The difference with Ferrer is he doesn’t rely on these things to win. The Spaniard used his consistent baseline play and on-court intelligence in a 6-7 (3), 6-3,...
