Gold Cup 2011: U.S. Badly Missing Holden, Feilhaber, Davies and Chandler

The United States was predicted to finish first in Group C of the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup this year. After all, none of Group C’s other members were ranked higher than 67th (Panama) in FIFA’s May rankings, giving the U.S. three games to prove that the blowout loss to Spain was a mishap. An easy quarterfinal matchup was the common expectation, as neither Canada, Panama nor Guadeloupe was... 

Ryler DeHeart, Tennis: The Dark Horse of American Talent and Heart

Ryler DeHeart was born on March 1st, 1984 in Kauai, Hawaii and now resides in Tampa Bay, Florida.  I was first introduced to him on a blog talk radio show, and immediately recognized his wonderful passion for the sport and his ability to speak and express himself so eloquently.  Ryler turned professional in 2006 and amounted a career singles high number of 174 back in March of 2010. ... 

Wimbledon Tennis 2011: 7 Reasons Why Roger Federer Will Bounce Back

The 2010 Wimbledon Championships was arguably Roger Federer’s worst grand slam tournament since he won his first major in 2003 at Wimbledon.

2011 Gold Cup: USA 1-0 Guadeloupe—What We Learned

  The Americans pulled through to the quarterfinals as Group C runners up in a not-so-tightly-contested 1-0 victory over Guadeloupe. The scoreline flattered the defeated, as the U.S.—and Clint Dempsey in particular—squandered a handful of easy scoring chances.

Roger Federer and the Top 10 Men in the 2011 Wimbledon Field

The 2011 Wimbledon Championships promise to be full of drama, just like they were last year. As is common during Wimbledon, the seeding doesn’t match the ATP World Tour rankings. The top five do match up this year; but then the remaining seeds follow the discretion of the Wimbledon powers that be. Due to Tomáš Berdych’s surprise finals appearance in 2010, he is the first...
