After a disappointing 2-2 draw at home to Switzerland, the pressure on England manager Fabio Capello has increased further. Even if Capello’s team does qualify for the European Championships in 2012, which I am fairly confident will happen, I still believe that Capello’s reign as England boss deserves to end just as much as I did in the aftermath of England’s appalling World Cup in...

So it appears that Tiger Woods may be at Congressional. Or he may not be. It all depends upon his trick knee, and his ailing Achilles. It’s become harder and harder to watch Tiger as everything has come full circle this year. So, maybe it’s time to give the Tiger watching some time off. I’m not saying give up on Tiger. I’m saying try watching some new golfers. Give the new guys...

Dear Roger, I write to you today to congratulate you on a well-earned, well-deserved victory against the odds in the French Open semi-final against my favorite player Novak Djokovic. I would like you to know that even though you ended “the streak” and took away probably Nole’s best chance of lifting La Coupe des Mousquetaires, I am whole-heartedly satisfied with the result of the...

Spain will want to avenge their 2009 loss and prove to the everyone why they’re...

I had a feeling Roger Federer was going to beat Novak Djokovic in the French Open semis. Don’t ask me why, it was just one of those times I knew Roger would step up. The question now becomes: can he make me believe he has a chance to beat Rafael Nadal in the finals? For Federer to win this match, he must do three things in my opinion. Get off to a fast start, keep serving well, and get to net. For...

Heading into the 2010 French Open final, Francesca Schiavone was the underdog against Sam Stosur. Stosur’s game has more power and she was expected to hit the Italian veteran off the court. Instead, Schiavone’s versatile game combined with Stosur’s failure to step up on the big occasion led to the win of a lifetime for Schiavone. She had never even reached a grand slam quarterfinal...

All the world is in uproar, and for no bad reason at all. Roger Federer faces Rafael Nadal in yet another grand slam final.

For purists of Roger-Rafa, there could hardly be a more fitting locus for the 25th meeting between the two. More...
