Rugby Six Nations 2011: Team of the Tournament

England secured their first Six Nations since 2003, topping the table and winning on the first four weekends of the tournament. However, defeat to Ireland on the final weekend meant they fell short of attaining a prestigious Grand Slam. In a somewhat anticlimactic scenario, they then received the trophy in a hotel in Ireland, hours after suffering a comprehensive defeat to their hosts. It was... 

Marion Bartoli Joins WTA Top 10 After Indian Wells Finals Appearance

Follow us on Twitter!   Most of the names are the same, but the lineup of the WTA women’s top 10 is a vastly changed landscape in the wake of the BNP Paribas Open’s conclusion on Sunday.  Tournament champion Caroline Wozniacki extended her lead on the No. 1 position in the world to nearly 1,000 points (9,850 to 8,895) over injury withdrawal Kim Clijsters. Francesca... 

Andre Agassi to Andy Roddick: A Decade of the Best Hits at the Sony Ericsson Open

The blueprint for the Sony Ericsson Open existed long before the tournament materialized as part of the tennis landscape in the United States––more specifically in Miami. The man who pursued the dream and saw it through to its often-complicated conclusion was Butch Buchholtz, a former tennis pro who toured with such notables as Pancho Gonzalez and Jack Kramer back in the 1960s. On February... 

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal: Are Their Days of Dominating Tennis Over?

It’s funny how things can happen so quickly in sport. This last weekend, in the last rounds of the Indian Wells Masters 1000, was, without saying it, a perfect example—at least a matter in point.

Novak Djokovic Has Arrived

Jumping the gun may be putting it lightly, but what I am sure of is that Djokovic is blazing out of the gates, and even if he doesn’t win another slam in 2011, he’s already made his mark. At 23, the man is echoing the career of Federer—simply unstoppable. His 20-0 start this season is the likes of which only Lendl showcased more than 20 years ago. The Sony Ericsson, Monte Carlo and... 

Gary Woodland Punches Ticket to the Masters and the Players

In July 2009, PGA Tour rookie Gary Woodland tore cartilage in his shoulder, had surgery and was out for nine months.

He is eligible for The Masters and The Players.   “It’s been along road back, but I can’t say enough for Randy Smith (golf coach) in Dallas,” Woodland said.... 

John Terry: England Captaincy, Corruption and Fabio Capello’s Greatest Mistake

From an exterior perspective, a bespectacled former Italian international footballer and the Prime-minister of England share little in common. When David Cameron took over, custody of No. 10 riding high on his mandate for change, however, to this writer at least it held haunting resonance to a similar radical plan of reform set out by Fabio Capello two years before. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and... 

Rafael Nadal: Gunning for a Third Indian Wells Title Against Novak Djokovic

Rafael Nadal must be feeling quite content right now. He’s made his way relatively unscathed to the final and has the opportunity to do several things.

Roger Federer: Why His Third Straight Loss to Novak Djokovic Isn’t All That Bad

Devastation: only this may adequately describe the bitter feeling for Federer fans after his third straight loss to Novak Djokovic at Indian Wells yesterday. It was a crushing blow, losing to the same player thrice in a row; even more galling, however, will be the aftermath of this tournament.
