Up All Night: Roger Federer Wins Late at Miami

What does the Sony Ericsson Open think it is? Flushing Meadows? Plagued by long matches and rainfall, the Miami tournament echoed complaints from last year’s frequent late-night match starts on Tuesday night. The No. 3 player in the world, Roger Federer, waited until the midnight hour. More specifically, until 12:37 a.m. to start his match, then quickly sent Olivier Rochus tumbling down in a... 

The Masters: What Makes Augusta National America’s Best Golf Course?

Gary Player, who won the Masters three times on the hallowed grounds of Augusta National, once said of the famed Georgia course, “When I think of Augusta, I think of great beauty. I’ve always said if they have a golf course like this in heaven, I hope I’m the golf pro there one day.” Three factors separate great golf courses from good golf courses: property, design and resources.  The... 

The Masters: Why Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson Have Upper Hand at Augusta National

The new trend in professional golf seems to be the unrelenting interest in the game’s youth movement. You can’t get two sentences into an article or 20 minutes into a golf telecast without seeing or hearing the words “young guns”. Rory McIlroy is one of the young guns. Nick Watney’s win at the WGC-Cadillac Championship was just another demonstration that the young guns... 

2011 Australian Grand Prix: Is It Red Bull, or Has McLaren Put the Pressure On?

After what seemed like an eternal out season, the 2011 Grand Prix series kicked off in Melbourne at the weekend.  The wait to see who has it, and who doesn’t, was finally over. So is it going to be better than 2010?  I think it definitely is. There was no surprise that Red Bull were fast.  Sebastian Vettel dominated qualifying by eight tenths, a massive difference between...

Two goals in three minutes in the second half set up the win in front of just over 30,000 fans at Borussia Park.

United States vs. Paraguay: Grading the Performance of Each American

The Paraguay friendly was an exciting affair with the U.S. attempting to take advantage of a spirited second half against Argentina. A number of analysts felt the United States needed to assert a presence for 90 minutes, something that they did not nor could not accomplish against Argentina. The game had more of a CONCACAF feel: disruptive, disjointed and ugly. Paraguay picked up an early goal on a... 

Kim Clijsters: How Did She Save 5 Match Points at the Sony Ericsson Open?

So, you think the body plays a bigger role in tennis than the mind? Don’t tell that to Ana Ivanovic, who lost to world No. 2 Kim Clijsters 7-6(4), 3-6, 7-6(5) on Tuesday in the fourth round of the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami despite leading 5-1 in the third and deciding set—and blowing five match points that could’ve sealed the deal. Clijsters, a four-time Grand Slam champion, made... 

Euro 2012 Qualifiers: Positives England Can Take From Their Past Two Games

After a fairly lacklustre English showing in their last two international outings, which saw them play out an awful 0-0 draw against Macedonia, a sapping 2-1 loss to France at Wembley and an unconvincing 2-1 win in Copenhagen over Denmark, the last four days were crucial to England’s European Championship qualifying campaign, the nation’s faith in their footballers as well as an opportunity... 

England vs. Ghana: 10 Things Fabio Capello Learned over the Last 7 Days

It has been an important week in the career of Fabio Capello as England manager, one in which he will have learned some valuable lessons.
