Tiger Woods, Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer Battle in the Dubai Classic

Not only are the top three ranked golfers in the world all playing in the Dubai Classic this week in the United Emirates, but they are all teeing it up together for the first two rounds. Lee Westwood, Tiger Woods and Martin Kaymer are grouped together at the Emirates Golf Club on Thursday and Friday. Kaymer has never played in a grouping with Woods before. Woods has won at the Emirates Golf Club twice... 

International Friendlies: Why Are We Playing Them Now?

Tonight sees our attention turn to another seemingly meaningless set of international friendlies; perhaps the only matches England plays that the country simply doesn’t care about. I can understand their existence. Preseason equivalents for domestic clubs are vital in their preparation for the competitive matches later on. This is especially true because international players will only play... 

Tiger Woods: Dubai Desert Classic Could Have a Major Impact on His Confidence

The European Tour has taken a page out of the PGA Tour’s new 2011 pairing book this week at the Dubai Desert Classic where the world’s top three players – Lee Westwood, Martin Kaymer and Tiger Woods – will be paired together during the first two rounds. The PGA Tour, in the hopes of garnering some more interest during the first two rounds of tournaments, has thrown together... 

Formula 1: Why Hulkenburg or Heidfeld, Not Villeneuve, Should Sub for Kubica

Robert Kubica’s horrendous injury caught many in the Formula 1 world off-guard. Not since Juan Pablo Montoya’s so-called “tennis” injury from a couple of years back has a driver been forced from the cockpit by an extra curricular activity. I’m sure everyone has heard the disturbing details of Kubica’s injury, but don’t expect to read them here because I won’t... 

Phil Mickelson: Is Lefty on the Verge of a Huge PGA Season in 2011?

Comments made by Phil Mickelson on his website to the effect that he is “expecting great things in 2011” has prompted a debate that is now in full flow as to whether the year will be as great for him as he expects. On all recent evidence, it will not be the case! Apart from winning his third “Green Jacket” at the Masters, “Lefty” is coming off a year (2010) that... 

Tennis Rankings: The Top 12 Moments on the Men’s Side From 2000-2010

As we head into the new season of 2011, the first year of the second decade of the century, it is worthwhile reflecting in hindsight on the tennis decade that has been. Just a period of ten years can witness momentous changes and shift in the power-struggles atop men’s tennis – the 70s and 80s, for instance, may be said to be the decades of Borg and Connors, and then of McEnroe and Lendl,... 

Political Turmoil in North Africa Threatens to Disrupt Africa Cup of Nations

Political upheaval across North Africa threatens to throw a monkey wrench into the Africa Cup of Nations with Algeria and Egypt – backed by Tunisia – likely to urge the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to postpone until August matches scheduled for March. The Algerian and Egyptian soccer federations last month suspended league matches because of the turmoil. Critics charge the prolonged... 

The 2011 Pebble Beach Pro-Am 6-Pack

Okay, we’ve had five tournaments so far in 2011.  Mark Wilson has won two of them!  This is truly amazing considering some of the field strengths that we have seen so far. I always knew Mark Wilson was a player who could have his moments, but I never would have predicted him to win two events in a year. I think we still have 30+ weeks to go, if I’m not mistaken. Congrats Mark... 

Will Roger Federer Ever Again Regain the Coveted No. 1 and Surpass Pistol Pete?

By now, you all know it. For the first time since Roger Federer won his first Slam at Wimbledon 2003, he’s no longer the defending champion at any one of the game’s four most heralded titles.  Even worse, he hasn’t even made it to the finals in any of the past four Slams. Two semis and two quarters were all he made it to.  For any normal tennis players, this would be great.... 

Tennis’ Golden Swing: Ferrer, Nalbandian and Wawrinka Enjoy Clay’s Latin Beat

With barely six weeks wear under their hot and tired soles, the men of the tennis tour have already hurtled past five hard-court events and through the year’s first Major, the Australian Open. But with February comes the first parting of the ways, not only to the disparate corners of the globe but also to new surfaces. Many players prefer to keep their feet on the hard, synthetic surfaces until...
