Keep up with us on our Facebook!   When you’re a top tennis player, relieving the stress and strain from the game can be tough—or so I would imagine.

Roger Federer and 10 ATP Tour Players That Need to Step It Up at Indian Wells

The best of the best on the ATP tour are back in action today at Indian Wells, Calif. The tournament is the first ATP Masters event of the season and the biggest draw since the Australian Open. Novak Djokovic won down under and has been the hottest player on the tour this year. In fact, Djokovic has yet to lose a match in 2011. Djokovic is closing on the No. 2 ranking, putting serious pressure on a... 

Indian Wells Tennis: Lack of Early-Round TV Coverage Makes Absolutely No Sense

I’m not a marketing expert by any means, so I could be way off here, but bear with me for a minute. Yesterday when I went online looking for my daily tennis fix, the magical world of Internet streams presented me with three options: Challenger tennis from Sarajevo, Challenger tennis doubles from Santiago or has-been tennis from Zurich (a.k.a the Champions’ tour). The glaring omission from... 

Kim Clijsters: Is She in the Mold of Serena Williams?

There used to be a time when Kim Clijsters was a disappointment to the tennis world. She was a consistent performer, but almost as much a consistent finalist failure. Her first four grand slam finals, from 2001 to 2004, were losses; while they were shortcomings to the very best, defeats are defeats enough. Andy Murray, of course, is on track to emulate the Belgian, having lost his first three, but... 

Roger Federer: Would You Back Him to Win at Indian Wells?

I wish I had a crystal ball to predict the results at Indian Wells. Or that I owned Paul the Octopus who so accurately predicted the results of the World Cup! No, I take it back. Owning Paul would have been no use as the most famous octopus in the world died last October. So, what are the tools we have to predict the results (apart from wishful thinking)? We have the ATP ranking system which says Nadal... 

Zamalek Bans Foreign Coaches and Players But Exempts Its Premier Soccer Team

Financially troubled Cairo club Al Zamalek FC has opted against hiring foreign players and coaches across its spectrum of sports activity, but has exempted its Premier League soccer team from the ban.

Canadians Burst on to Tennis Scene: Raonic and Marino Serve Notice

Canada and tennis have never been known to go hand-in-hand. Sure, Greg Rusedski made it to the No. 4 spot, but only after he dropped his Canadian status to play for Great Britain. And yes, we have arguably the world’s best doubles player in Daniel Nestor but on the singles stage…nada. That’s why 2011 has been such an amazing year for Canadians in the world of tennis. Milos Raonic The... 

Indian Wells: First ATP Masters Draws Tennis Elite—Nadal, Federer, Djokovic

The jewels in tennis’s ATP calendar, its nine Masters events, are here at last. And in celebration, March is bursting at the seams with two of them: sun-drenched Indian Wells and Miami. These are the last hard court events before spring ushers in the clay, and they will not appear again until the tour heads back to North America in late July. Little wonder, then, that the United States’... 

On the Dark Road and Why Formula 1 Needs the World

The performance of a company is reflected in its sales; in linking to one market eliminates potential profit and expansion.  Victoria Secret was making some money in the beginning, however that income seems like a lost dream if today’s profit levels are viewed.  Expanding into newer markets guaranteed that company greater profit, potential income, and stability. F1, as a company, must...
