Rory McIlroy: Bad Luck Follows Youngster to Malaysia for Next Tournament

We’ve all been there before. Standing in the airport baggage claim area watching the baggage belt circle by, looking for our bags with some shred of hope they will come around on the next pass. More often than not, it is just a hope. It appears Rory McIlory is no different than any other traveler these days. Unfortunately for him, not only did he choke away a four-shot lead at the Masters last... 

Men’s Tennis: The Clay Court Season Is Upon Us, Meaning U.S. Players Won’t Be

The clay court season has officially begun this week with the start of the Rolex Monte Carlo Masters. When looking at the men’s singles draw there is a glaring absence: Where are the Americans? Not one American man is entered in the field, and you can’t really blame them. The last American to win a masters series title on the dirt was Andre Agassi at the Rome Masters in 2002. Agassi is... 

Rory McIlroy: Despite Blowing the Masters, He’ll Recover to Win a Major

Before the final round on Sunday, I was convinced that Rory McIlroy would win the Masters and would do so easily. His front-nine 37 made me think that it would be more of a fight, but I still thought that he would win. Then, he hit a drive on the 10th hole in a spot that many people didn’t know existed. That led to a triple-bogey. After a bogey on 11 and a double on 12, McIlroy hooked his drive... 

Andy Murray: Is He Finished at the Highest Level?

In some ways it’s Tim Henman’s fault that Andy Murray carries such a large yoke across his shoulders. It was ‘Tiger’ Tim who reawakened British hopes of a male grand slam winner. And with Tim’s game so wholly suited to grass, Brits everywhere entertained realistic hopes of a Wimbledon champion no less. Henman reached six grand slam semifinals (four at Wimbledon), but eventually... 

Men’s Tennis: Rafael Nadal’s Monte Carlo and 5 Lesser-Known Open Era Streaks

It’s Monte Carlo time again, and we all now what that’s supposed to mean. It’s that week in the year when we witness, for an unerring time yet again, an occasion of rare, almost seamless stability. In a sport so hectic and jagged at the top, we have one man—Rafael Nadal—who has been undefeated in the last six years. For the record, the last time Nadal didn’t win... 

Serena Williams Fights Back from Health Problems in Pink Bodysuit

Yahoo! Sports reported just yesterday that Serena Williams is back to practicing on the tennis court after her health issues last month that were expected to keep her off the court for up to a year. Williams suffered a pulmonary embolism last month. Described as a blood clot in the lung, a pulmonary embolism usually starts from somewhere else in the body. On most occasions, it starts in the legs. Williams’... 

Roger Federer: Comparing Him to the Top 10 Men’s Tennis Players Ever

In over a century of judging the hits and misses of men’s professional tennis, tournament rules have come and gone. Styles of play rose and fell with the passage of time. Technology has increased speed, spin and accuracy as rackets evolved and athletes became bigger, stronger and faster. In light of constant evolution, it becomes difficult to compare players from one generation to the next because... 

Australia vs. Germany: Good Result for the Socceroos, but Keep It in Perspective

Much has been made of the Socceroos’ 2-1 win over Germany on March 29 at Borussia-Park. Sections of the Australian media have seen the win as a turning point for the side, a sign that they are ready to take the next step and really start to challenge the traditional powers of international soccer. Whilst the upset win is a good sign for the national side, it must be kept in perspective. Speculation... 

Tiger Woods’ Masters and the Rightful Role of Athletes as Role Models

Recently, ESPN’s Bill Simmons took on the difficult topic of Tiger Woods and what his recent personal troubles mean to us—and what they should mean. It is a topic that has been beaten to death, but Tiger’s vintage performance on the front nine Sunday suddenly had us remembering 2003, pre-fiasco Tiger. Simmons discussed watching the Masters with his three-year-old son, who thoroughly... 

Serena Williams vs. Kim Kardashian: Whose Commercial Is More Controversial?

Serena Williams starred in a commercial for a new video game from popular game company 2K Sports, Top Spin 4. Didn’t see it? There’s a good reason for that. It was banned by 2K before even hitting the air. That’s right ladies and gentlemen, they self-censored themselves before even showing the commercial to the judgmental American public. 2K said, “This video is not part of...
