Novak Djokovic Is Capable of Being the World Number One

Novak Djokovic is easily the best player on tour at the moment, the question is whether he can sustain his run and become a legitimate world No.1? I believe he can, this is assuming that Nadal is not disadvantaged by any future injuries and he continues to have the upper-hand on Roger Federer.

Egyptian Reluctance to Restart League Is Rooted in Soccer’s Political History

The Egyptian military’s reluctance to authorize a resumption of professional league matches is rooted in Egyptian soccer’s history as a political football. While the Mubarak regime saw soccer as a tool to garner popularity, its opponents frequently turned it into a rare venue for expression of anti-government sentiment.

Super Rugby: Stormers Snap Highlanders Win Streak in Gutsy Performance

The Stormers have ended the Highlanders’ 2011 unbeaten run with a 18-6 win in their fourth round encounter at Newlands.

The Stormers were forced to make twice as many tackles as the Highlanders...
