Where in the top 10? The better question may be is Woods really IN the top the any more? Is he in the second 10? The third? Sports Illustrated Golf Plus, for instance, now does a poll of their golf writers every week, and Woods is not in their top 10 players. Why did the SI golf guys decide to make their own ranking? It was painfully obvious to them, as it is to others,...

Ruben Omar Romano is no longer Santos Laguna’s manager. After reaching the Final in the two tournaments he managed Los Guerreros, the Argentine coach was sacked due to making finger gestures to the crowd after the defeat at home against Queretaro. “His behaviour went against the values that the club stands for and promotes, which is why the decision was taken to end our working relationship...

For anyone who might have thought that Andy Roddick doesn’t have it anymore, take a look at this incredible diving forehand against Milos Raonic. The most incredible thing about this shot is that it was for championship point. With the shot, Roddick prevailed 7-6(7), 6-4 (11), 7-5 to win the Regions Morgan Keegan Championship. He became the third active player on the ATP World Tour to win 30...

February and December are probably the worst months of the year in men’s tennis—it is the period when the best players take a break. Roger Federer is at a stage of his career where only Grand Slams matter, while Rafael Nadal is nursing a hamstring injury. More over, Rafa does not like to play indoors.

The order of venues selected for Formula 1’s preseason tests seem pretty odd to me. The first test took place in Valencia on Spain’s East coast, then the F1 circus packed its bags and travelled approximately 500 miles to Jerez in the country’s southwestern region. For the third preseason test, the teams have travelled over 600 miles back across Spain to Barcelona (about 200...

It has finally been confirmed that the Bahrain Grand Prix has been called off because of the political protests occurring in the country and all across the Middle East. Next week’s test session will also not go ahead. The race could be postponed until later in the season, possibly a week before or after the race in Abu Dhabi. This would mean three back-to-back races if that did happen. As for...

Andy Murray has become tennis’ newest great disappointer. Such titles are only reserved for those who have consistently demonstrated their suitability for it; for Murray he has done so, now, three times. What exactly is this notorious feat? Losing three grand slam finals, and each time in straight sets. It is hardly an achievement to boast of; yet as much as we might discuss his failings, or...

The game of musical chairs at the top of the pile continues, featuring Kim Clijsters and Caroline Wozniacki. The Belgian enjoyed a short spell as No. 1 before being swapped out by the surprisingly resilient Dane within a week. The debate—whether the rankings accurately depict the state of women’s tennis—rages on. This does not detract from the luscious blonde’s achievements;...

World No. 1 Lee Westwood will face Henrik Stenson of Sweden instead of Tori Taniguchi in the first round of this week’s Accenture Match Play Championship. This is the only change from last week’s ranking, where Taniguchi held the 64th and last spot in the field, but it does represent quite a change for Westwood. Stenson might be No. 69 in the world ranking (OWGR) this week and...
