2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup: 4 Overrated Factors at the Tournament

The Women’s World Cup is like any other tournament or sporting event. We go in with certain expectations that will undoubtedly fall short.

This time, however, it’s... 

Rafael Nadal: Can Nadal Become the Greatest Men’s Tennis Player in History?

Right now, the most accomplished player in the history of men’s tennis is Roger Federer, certainly when it comes to grand slams. With 16 grand slam titles, 23 finals, 23 consecutive semifinals or better, and 29 consecutive quarterfinals or better (and counting), it’s really hard to argue that point. He’s also won the career grand slam and is one of only three players to do that with... 

2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup: 4 Underrated Players at the Tournament

We are about half-way through the group stages of the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup, and we’ve already had some surprising results.

Martina Hingis Stays in the Game with World TeamTennis

It is not that far from the National Tennis Center, but next week a very happy and well adjusted Martina Hingis will be playing tennis back in a city she loves, New York. The youngest-ever world number one—now a cagey veteran at age 32—will be the key member of the New York Sportimes, the defending Eastern Conference champions of Billie Jean King’s World TeamTennis, when play starts... 

Wimbledon 2011, Djokovic vs Nadal. Mens Final Prediction

Right, to business. In my first prediction attempt yesterday, I had a comment saying, “looks like your crystal ball was a little cloudy today.” So, here I am trying to improve on a score of 50 percent. The Wimbledon 2011 men’s final is the final many weren’t expecting or hoping for. I can honestly say that I expected and hoped for a Djokovic vs. Nadal final. These... 

United States Soccer’s Letter to Fans Ignores Important Issue of Bob Bradley

It has been six days since the Mexican annihilation of the United States at the Rose Bowl in the Gold Cup Final. Up 2-0 25 minutes in, the United States were unable to protect their lead, again, and fell to a Mexico team that outclassed them for the last 65 minutes. You can argue that Mexico is faster and has more talent, but any American who has been closely watching the United States for a while... 

Petra Kvitova: One of the More Talented Female Players to Emerge in Recent Times

Two weeks ago I travelled to Eastbourne to watch the Aeagon Championships final between Petra Kvitova and Marion Bartoli.  The final lasted two hours and 30 minutes and was an interesting match just before Wimbledon.  Kvitova lost the match in three sets, but I was very impressed with her game and attitude. The first set went by like a flash as Kvitova lost in 29 minutes.  Kvitova was...
