We are all about to embark upon a new season of Formula 1 in just under 40 days. Very exciting indeed for any Formula 1 fan !!! I for one can’t wait for the season to begin. Before we start focusing on all the new car launches for 2011 wouldn’t it be good to know some of the significant changes that one can expect in the coming season ? In this article I would like to briefly outline the...

I know you guys across the Pond will be furious—but here in Europe we have a ball game which leaves your so-called ”football” for dead. If you Yanks hadn’t disappeared from the real world into the Bushes (by George, what a clever play on words), you would realise that FOOTBALL is actually the game the rest of the world plays—the one you refer to over there...

The Blue Samurai of Japan officially made history as Asia’s most accomplished national team. Super sub Tadanari Lee, a Korean-born striker from Sanfrecce Hiroshima, was the hero for Alberto Zaccheroni’s side with a wonder goal in the 109th minute to give Japan a 1-0 win over a spirited Australia side. Japan previously won the Asian Cup in 1992, 2000 and 2004. This marks a record fourth...

The great Patty Berg quietly passed away a few years ago, maybe a bit too quietly. Many sports fans hardly noticed. Those who were familiar with her accomplishments and contributions to women’s golf (and women’s sports in general) will remember a woman who was quite unique to say the least. Growing up in Minnesota, she played quarterback on a sandlot squad named the “50th Street...

If you’re like me, you prefer putting your money where your mouth is, and hence comes the ultimate path of a sports bettor. Looking at the facts, the 2011 Australian Open Men’s Final is one that for a long time can go either way. Sure, the Nadal vs. Federer final two years ago had its fans, but ultimately Federer was the mass favorite, and he lost in five. I present to you the most noteworthy...

This time around I have not seen much news of “Can Andy Murray finally win a major?” Sure, there have been articles, blogs, discussions, comments about Murray and his flawless performance till the final, but it has become more about the contest, than about the eventual result. Perhaps this is because of his last two failings in a Major final. Murray knows that this is not the “last”...

The thought of Novak Djokovic’s mom once again pronouncing gleefully, “The King is dead!” might have been the ultimate capper on an already miserable 2011 Australian Open semifinal for Roger Federer fans. That magical moment from the 2008 Australian Open still sends shivers of revulsion down the spines of a legion of the Maestro’s avid supporters. While that did not happen...

ROGER FEDERER “Yeah, I mean, they say that very quickly, so… Let’s talk in six months again.” What he really meant: Don’t write off Rafa or me as of yet. What he definitely didn’t: Yeah, Rafa and I are going to quit the sport in six months. NOVAK DJOKOVIC “You have to ask her, but I will definitely say probably no. I hope no. “ (Laughter.) What...

Kim Clijsters claimed her fourth Grand Slam on Saturday, defeating Li Na in what was one of the better women’s finals of recent years. Li raced out to an opening set lead from her solid power-hitting base, but Clijsters responded, reacted and changed her game to take the final two sets and, with it, her first ever Happy Slam title. Clijsters’ comeback hinged on much more than unforced errors,...

Kim Clijsters won the 2011 women’s Australian Open title on Saturday with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Li Na. There really have been some truly memorable women’s finals at the Australian Open, and this can be added to the list. How about Margaret Court rallying to beat fellow Australian Evonne Goolagong Cawley for her third consecutive crown in 1971, or Martina Navratilova winning what...
