Kim Clijsters: Worth The Hype or Severely Overrated?

I’m not a big fan of Clijsters. I’m not sure what gave it away really. She’s no doubt a great, the Hall of Famer kind, of this generation, but still stands a long way back from Venus and Henin, let alone Serena. But I will admit that with Henin and Venus not being right and Serena missing, she’s the best we’ve got. I mean she’s gotta be better than the Slamless paper... 

Serena Williams Leaves An Asterisk Hanging At The 2011 Australian Open

It’s no secret that Serena Williams is the best of her generation. At 13 Grand Slams and counting, almost the sum of the other greats of her generation, sister Venus and Belgian rival Justine Henin, Serena has nothing left to prove. The best serve ever in tennis, arguably the toughest competitor at the majors, and arguably the strongest of all mentally. The only things really missing from Serena’s... 

Australian Open Tennis 2011: Rafael Nadal’s Bid For Immortality

The 2011 Australian Open is upon us and this could be a big one for the history books. Only one man has held all four Slams in the Open era. Rafael Nadal now bids to become the second.  The only man who’s done it in the Open era is widely regarded as one of the best tennis players ever to pick up a racket. I’m naturally talking about the great Rod Laver, who won a Calendar Slam twice,... 

Australia 1-1 South Korea: Favourites Share the Spoils in Asian Cup

Australia and South Korea served up an enthralling encounter between two of Asia’s powerhouses, cancelling each other out in a 1-1 draw. In truth, neither team deserved to lose as Mile Jedinak’s maiden goal for Australia cancelled out Ja-Cheol Koo’s first-half effort. A slightly cautious South Korea side took the lead after 24 minutes.  The Australian defence failed to deal with... 

2011 Australian Open Women’s Breakdown: Belgian Battle Looming

Poor, poor Serena Williams. Sidelined with a gimpy foot, steaming at her lost chance to snag yet another slam. Hell, she should have entered herself anyway. What odds would you have put on a one-legged Serena? Quarters, semis?  Without the younger Williams sister here to trample the field, opportunity is knocking more loudly than a Seles-Sharapova grunt-off. Considering the mass exodus of women’s... 

Australian Open 2011: Picking All 127 Matches of The Men’s Draw

I predict sixth-seed Tomas Berdych will bow out in the second round, while 27th seed David Nalbandian and 28th seed Richard Gasquet will reach the quarterfinals, but who do I have going all the way? Read my 127 match predictions and find out.    FIRST ROUND   Rafael Nadal (1) def. Marcos Daniel Nadal begins his quest for the “Rafa Slam” against a guy he has defeated twice... 

Roger Federer: 10 Players Who Could Knock Him Out of the 2011 Australian Open

The name Roger Federer has been synonymous with excellent tennis for a while now. Nothing about that has changed since last January except for the fact that he’s now the No. 2 seed in the field, thanks to a dominant 2010 season from Rafael Nadal.  Regardless, Federer is the man to beat in the 2011 Australian Open. The bullseye is always squarely affixed to the back of the defending champion... 

Tennis’ Greatest Rivalry, and The Players Who Helped Pave the Path

In looking back over the last 10 or so years of Men’s Tennis, one has to wonder how we came to be enthralled into one of the greatest eras the sport has ever seen. Before Roger Federer vs. Rafael Nadal came to be, tennis had a long history of rivalries that fueled interest within the sport. However, following the tail end of Sampras vs. Agassi, the prospect of getting to where we are today, wasn’t immediately... 

Australian Open 2011: Women’s Draw Preview and Analysis

Tournament Preview: There comes a time where every top player has to prove their worth. A time where the naysayers need to be silenced, and a player’s legacy can deservedly be edged in stone. For world No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki, that time appears to be now-or-never. Grinding her way to the top spot in the rankings, the Danish firecracker has yet the reach the finals of a Major event. Adding... 

2011 Formula One Regulations Changes To Aid Overtaking May Not Be Needed.

2011 begins with more regulation changes to aid overtaking and inject some more excitement into the sport. The return of KERS, and with movable rear wings, added to moveable front wings and less reliance on aerodynamic grip, have all been sanctioned by the FIA to improve the sport’s reputation as “being boring”. Yet, back at the end of the 2009 season, overtaking and excitement were...
