Roger Federer Wins and 5 Things We Have Learned from The Qatar Open

Federer continued his streak, defeating the defending champion Davydenko 6-3, 6-4, in just 80 minutes. Ending by winning the last 11 points in the finals at the Qatar Open. With this being his fourth continuous win in a final, he definitely is not holding back in sending a warning message to his rivals that he will most definitely be a serious contender at the upcoming Australian Open.  But... 

Nancy Lopez Exhibit Opens in the World Golf Hall of Fame

Remember 1978 when Jimmy Carter was president, Annie Hall won Best Picture and Pete Rose had a base hit for the 3,000th time? Or, like me, do you remember the debut of a feisty young golfer on the LPGA Tour named Nancy Lopez? Her splash was immense, though her waves continue to roll throughout the golfing industry. Of course with nine wins that first year she won “Rookie of the Year,” but... 

The 11 Best Australian Open Matches from the Last 11 Years

In the past two decades, the Australian Open has transformed from a forgotten, forlorn afterthought into a vibrant showcase for some of the best matches in tennis history. With the 2011 tournament fast approaching, I’m counting down the 11 most unforgettable wars of attrition from the past 11 years — how’s that for symmetry? From five hour marathons to a monstrous sister act to a... 

Roger Federer: The Man to Beat, Does He Have a Crack at the World No. 1 Ranking?

There’s absolutely no doubt in my mind that Roger is the man to beat right now. Since Wimbledon, Federer has won 1,355 more ranking points than his rival Nadal, more titles, more matches and has been very consistent in all tournaments. And of course he ended the year making the top eight players of the ATP looking like they were just pawns. The only exception being Nadal, who’s 2010 season... 

Zvonareva’s Exhibition Victory over Wozniacki a Confidence Boost for Aussie Open

Is Vera Zvonareva ready to push for the No. 1 ranking? Zvonareva, who has recently become known for her meltdowns on court and inability to rise to the occasion, showed what she is made of on Saturday, albeit in an exhibition tournament. The second-ranked woman on tour, Zvonareva, crushed the world No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki 6-1, 6-0 in less than an hour at the Hong Kong Classic Exhibition Tournament. Zvonareva... 

Querétaro vs. U.A.N.L: Tigres Come from Behind, Equalize against Gallos Blancos

The Tigres started the year 2011 with a shocking equalizer against Queretaro in its home stadium of La Corregidora. The game started with Carlos Bueno scoring two goals for Queretaro at 18 minutes and 55 minutes. Bueno scored the first goal after an assist by Julio Nava and some help from Juan Antonio Ocampo. Ocampo made a personal play on the side and kicked the ball with his right foot towards Carlos... 

Roger Federer Downs Nikolay Davydenko: A Boost for the Australian Open

Roger Federer was superlative today. Absolutely brilliant play. Nikolay Davydenko played a little tentative, going for the backhand even when the forehand was wide open at times, but he played well, especially seeing as he was coming back from an injury layoff. As Federer said in his post-match interview, “Nikolay’s a top-10 player, he’s better than his ranking now.” But better... 

Roger Federer: Time for a New Racquet?

Out of all the players in the top 10 or 20 today, only Roger Federer plays with the least technology dependent. His racquet is based on 30-year-old technology and is the closest in weight and size to a wood racquet. It’s smaller than average at around 90 inches, smaller than average on tour. And he uses natural gut strings. His racquet has one main advantage, that it provides more control on... 

Building The Perfect Woman’s Game In The Era Of Ball Bashers

Women’s tennis has sunk to a new low. Venus Williams is an ailing force, even on grass, and is unlikely to make any headway into winning an elusive non-grass major. The Belgian duo of Kim and Justine are part-time players, unwilling to take their responsibilities as the new prima donnas of the tour. And Serena Williams is missing, unable to take her rightful place as the true world No. 1. After... 

PGA Tour Officials: Now Even Casual Fans Watching at Home Can Be One

If you are a true golf fan, then this past Thursday was the happiest day for you in a month and a half. The PGA Tour’s 2011 season officially kicked off with the annual Hyundai Tournament of Champions from Kapalua, Hawaii. To be qualified for this event, you must have been a winner of any PGA Tour-sanctioned tournament from the previous year. This year’s event featured 33 winners....
