Several pieces of tennis news struck the minds of the fans today. The press intimation of Ivan Lendl that he would consider seriously lending some coaching aid to Andy Murray and the continued, fearsome progress of Novak Djokovic, as he clocked his 20th-straight win this season. There were, however, other equally eyebrow-raising results—not least of which was probably Juan Martin Del Potro’s...

For those that bet on tennis, Federer and Nadal are as dependable as each other. They rarely suffer upsets, can normally be backed to win in straight sets and are as bankable as Abu Dhabi Bonds. Now, they both can proudly say they have won all four Grand Slams. This feat has only been accomplished by five other great tennis players, with many others ultimately falling short.

There are a number of big stories about the 2011 Melbourne F1 Grand Prix.

Sebastian Vettel, the reigning world champion had no problems winning the 2011 Australian GP a race which he dominated from pole and he won without even a challenge. Vettel and Red Bull once again looked dominant and if the likes of McLaren and Ferrari have any decent shot at the title, then they drastically need to cut the distance or else Red Bull will have the titles by midseason.

Who is more naturally talented, Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer? I ask this question because for some reason it interests people, and they tend to believe that a naturally gifted player is superior to a less naturally gifted player, even if the latter has a better record. First of all, there seems to be no universally-accepted definition. If you say a player is a naturally talented tennis player, do...

On Saturday night, the United States took on one of the best international teams in the world. Argentina feature the world’s best player, Lionel Messi, and the talent certainly does not stop there. For the first 45 minutes, Messi and Co. put on a passing clinic, as the Argentine side hardly faced any adversity. While they put on a show, the U.S. looked lost while chasing the ball, and they finally...
