Men’s Tennis: Ranking the Top 18 Forehands from 2000–2010

Few parts of any tennis game come as naturally as the forehand. Not everybody, of course, will have a huge forehand, but it is undeniable that it is by far the easiest shot to hit. It requires the fewest extra technical movements, as compared to the backhand, serve or volley—the forehand volley included. In the hands of some players, the forehand has become devastating, an offensive shot par... 

Formula One 2011: Has Newey Produced Another Title Winner or Is It Up-For-Grabs?

As we see out the last couple of days before the opening race of the 2011 season, the usual conversations are likely to have been thrashed to death.  Who’s looking strong?  Who are the possible outsider’s? Who has the best car? Who’s looked the best in testing?  But what I want to know the answer to is whether Adrian Newey, with his deep reservoir of F1 design... 

Formula One 2011: Will Pirelli’s Marbles Take Edge off Latest Rule Changes?

Finally. The first blows have been struck in anger for the 2011 Formula One season. The testing is over, and all of the speculation, offseason silliness and expert prognostications are history. Now all that matters are results on the road.

Euro 2012: Slovenia and Italy Battle It Out the at Top of Group C Qualifying

Predicting the England Lineup for the Remaining Euro 2012 Qualifiers

Fabio Capello has not been hugely successful as England manager. He has guided the Three Lions through an impressive qualification campaign of nine wins and one loss (for the World Cup in 2010), but failed to make an impact at the tournament itself (being beaten and knocked out 4-1 by Germany in the round of 16). Now he faces a last shot at redemption in the form of Euro 2012. He started off the qualification... 

Windy Conditions Beat Up Field, Including Tiger Woods, at Bay Hill

With winds whipping to 29 MPH, Tiger Woods and the rest of the field at Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Invitational had problems with more than the golf course.  The challenge was keeping the ball on target.  Woods struggled to keep the ball in the fairway most of the afternoon.  He was not alone. Yuta Ikeda had an 11 on the 6th hole with three balls blown into the water.  On his... 

He Did What? Interpreting Some of the PGA Tour’s More Controversial Rulings

So, who knows the rules of golf? You hit a white ball with a club, and put it in the hole. Simple, right? Not so much.
