Australian Open 2011: Bryan Brothers Derail Indian Express for Doubles Title

Keep tennis in mind at www.TennisNow.com.   There was no Bollywood ending for the former feuding doubles partners Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi of India Saturday night in Australia.  Instead, the men’s doubles final was an American classic. The top-ranked team of twin brothers Mike and Bob Bryan won its 10th men’s doubles Grand Slam, blasting the “Indian... 

Australian Open 2011: Novak Djokovic Sweeps Andy Murray for Title

Keep up with tennis at www.TennisNow.com.   The party just keeps on going for Novak Djokovic. After leading his Serbian mates to the Davis Cup title last fall, the No. 3 player in the world started 2011 off in grand fashion by winning the Australian Open Sunday night, whipping Andy Murray 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 in Melbourne.  It’s Djokovic’s second Australian Open title and second... 

Tiger Woods: Just Another Golfer

I know it was Tiger Woods’ first tournament of the season, so I’ll try not to get too carried away. But Tiger ‘s performance at the Farmer’s Insurance Open appeared worse than ordinary.   After a decent start on Thursday and Friday, Tiger played poorly over the weekend and finished 15 shots out of first place—a terrible showing. Lots of golfers look this bad at any... 

Australian Open 2011: Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Other Parting Thoughts

Completing the Jigsaw Years 2009 and 2010 were Novak Djokovic’s sophomore years after 2008, when he started with a bang (Australian Open and Indian Wells) and ended with a flourish (World Tour Finals). He was trying to find the right balance between offence and defence, gracefulness and gamesmanship, worthy contender and upcoming challenger. The first major is always exciting, and easier... 

Are Pay-To-Race Drivers Making a Return To Formula 1?

In one of the more surprising announcements made in January, Narain Karthikeyan was given another chance in F1 by landing a drive at Hispania. It is obvious that Hispania picked him up because of his links with the Indian conglomerate Tata and it’s likely the second driver will have an attractive sponsor as well. With the economy still looking a bit grim, could this mean the return of pay-drivers... 

Tiger Woods: What We Learned About Tiger At Torrey and Where He’s Headed

Tiger Woods is digging hard into his third novel in the Tiger Trilogy: Lord of the Swings. His latest chapter was written last week at Torrey Pines, the place he can easily call home, the place he has dominated, the place where he has found it so very easy to win again, again and again and then some more, just for emphasis. This start of the 2011 season for El Tigre was a week of huge anticipation... 

PGA: Six Reasons the Tour Has Become Unwatchable (And One Reason It Hasn’t)

Sorry, but the PGA tour has become all but unwatchable.  The first three tournaments of the year were won by guys named Jonathan Byrd, Mark Wilson, and Jhonattan Vegas.  Riveting stuff. Bubba Watson and Phil Mickelson stepped it up at Torrey Pines (the Farmers Insurance Open to be official).  But in the past 18 months the PGA tour has sunk lower than the Titanic. Let’s take a look... 

Roger Federer vs. Gilles Simon: What Happened To Roger?

What was Roger Federer doing? His match against Gilles Simon was one of his most ungraceful wins in his career, barely winning 6-2, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. What a disappointing win, one that I would not want to witness again. He had never played like that in such a long time, despite the fact that it was only the second round and he had not made constant unforced errors. So how could this have possibly happened? He... 

Colin Slade: Highlanders Lose Key Signing with Broken Jaw

The Highlanders bid to reclaim Super Rugby dominance in 2011 has suffered a major set back. Marquee signing Colin Slade has been diagnosed with a broken jaw after suffering a knock in the team’s preseason game against the Blues on Saturday. The injury will see Slade sidelined for the next six to eight weeks, leaving a gaping hole in the Highlanders backline. What a cruel twist of fate for a team... 

PGA Tour Week 4: Validation for My Dear Bubba Watson

Bubba Watson, are you there? Those words have been heard since the invention of the telephone in 1876. Following his best year in a four-year PGA TOUR career, the question wasn’t whether or not Watson would be out there on tour this year. The question was whether or not he could come back from a playoff loss to Martin Kaymer at Whistling Straits in the PGA Championship. Question answered as Bubba...
