French Open 2011: Who Has the Advantage in the Women’s Draw After Friday?

Caroline Wozniacki—gone. Kim Clijsters—see ya. The top two seeds in the women’s draw have both bowed out at the French Open this year. That means that the title is now really up for grabs.

French Open: Still in the Dark Ages

Dark places scare us. The eyes are empty vessels. They need light to fill them with sensory data- information that then gets converted by the brain into meaningful objects. What is light then?

Coming out of the 2010 US Open, where Rafael Nadal earned his first championship trophy in New York, all talk turned to Nadal’s chances to complete the “Calendar Slam.” He had just defeated the rising, but still inconsistent Djokovic for his ninth major, well ahead of the pace set by Roger Federer at the same point in his career.  The question was not if, but when, Rafael Nadal...

BMW PGA Championship: All Eyes on Matteo Manassero

There is a story brewing at this very moment in Surrey, England that could wind up being the most epic victory by a young golfer since a skinny fella in a red shirt won the 1997 Masters by 12 strokes. Matteo Manassero, 18 years old, is currently tied for the lead with Luke Donald and Alvaro Quiros at six-under-par through 54 holes at the BMW PGA Championship.

Lewis Hamilton: Genius Pinnacle of Formula 1 Lays Failure Blame Elsewhere

Some people have been outraged that I deride Lewis Hamilton and wonder why that is, in view of his fabulous talent behind the wheel of a Formula One car. Well, to those readers who think I unfairly criticize the 2008 world champion, here are clear reasons.   Following the 2011 Spanish Grand Prix at Barcelona, Hamilton claimed that Michael Schumacher deliberately blocked his access to eventual-winner...
