Players Championship 2012 TV Schedule: Strong Day 2 Makes Tiger Woods a Threat

Tiger Woods is down, but he ain’t dead just yet. Woods shot a four-under 68 to put him at two shots under par for the tournament, six strokes back from co-leaders Matt Kuchar, Kevin Na and Zach Johnson at The Players Championship. After a horrific Thursday that put him in danger of missing the cut for the straight second tournament, Woods rebounded rather nicely in Round 2.   While this... 

Madrid Open 2012 Scores: Dominance Bodes Well for Serena Williams in French Open

Serena Williams is unquestionably one of the most dominant women’s tennis players of all time, but she has never been particularly adept on clay. Williams is cruising at the Madrid Open after a 6-1, 6-3 quarterfinal win over Maria Sharapova, however, and that makes her a favorite in the upcoming French Open. Over the course of her illustrious career Williams has won 13 Grand Slams, but only one... 

Madrid Open 2012: What Top Stars Are Saying About Blue Clay at Tournament

The 2012 Madrid Open has been one of the more intriguing tournaments of the season. It’s largely due to the new blue clay that the organizers have debuted for the first time. Many of the games’ top stars have been outspoken about the surface, and it seems that everyone has an opinion on how it impacts a match. Let’s take a look at what some of these pros have been saying.   Rafael... 

Caroline Wozniacki: Former World No. 1 Will Continue to Slide

Caroline Wozniacki may have once been the No. 1 women’s tennis player in the world according to the rankings, but we all know she was never the top player on the circuit. Since her WTA debut in 2005, Wozniacki has won 18 singles titles, but she has never been able to win a major championship, and that’s the true test of an elite player. On Friday at the Madrid Open, Wozniacki predictably... 

Players Championship 2012: Contenders Sitting Atop Leaderboard Going into Day 3

It’s all fine and dandy getting off to a fast start at the 2012 Players Championship, but it’s how you finish that ultimately makes the difference. There are plenty of golfers in contention heading into Day 3, but golf has a way of weeding out the contenders from the pretenders before long. Here are three golfers currently sitting nicely on the leaderboard who I see being relevant down... 

Madrid Open 2012: Tomas Berdych’s Early Dominance Will Carry Him to Title

Tomas Berdych has breezed through his first three matches at the Madrid Open, putting himself in the driver’s seat to capture his second tournament championship this year.  When the tournament started, all the talk was about Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer—the usual suspects, as I like to call them—because they are the top three players in the world right now.  Along... 

Players Championship 2012 Coverage: Big Names Who Will Finish Strong

There was a lot of uncertainty surrounding TPC Sawgrass headed into the 2012 Players Championship. Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy bombed at the Masters, Rickie Fowler had just won the Wells Fargo Championship while Phil Mickelson disappointed, and Luke Donald and Lee Westwood, well, never seem to be able to win the bigger tournaments. But after the second round at TPC Sawgrass, we have a better picture... 

Djokovic and Nadal: Threats of Boycotting Madrid Are Childish and Self-Indulgent

Imagine a Pete Sampras at the height of his powers threatening to boycott a hard court because he felt its surface conditions were totally different than what he had expected—or felt entitled to.  Picture in this scenario, not the Pistol we know, but a Petulant Pete who found the court’s surface too grainy and too slow.  So gritty and grippy in fact that to play on it would require... 

Roger Federer Wins Clay-Season Initiation Against Ferrer; World No. 2 Next

In a week that has seen the disturbing and unexpected bowings-out of top seeds Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, the former having lost yesterday and the latter the day before, Roger Federer stands as a constant reminder to tennis consistency. As it happens, being five years older than the other two probably endows him with greater tolerance and acceptance capabilities, and so far at Madrid, Federer... 

2012 Madrid Masters: Juan Martin Del Potro vs Tomas Berdych Preview

The 2012 Madrid Masters are down to semifinalists and in one of Saturday’s matches, Argentina’s Juan Martin del Potro will face the Czech Republic’s Tomas Berdych. Prior to the start of the tournament, many felt as though del Potro could make the semifinals, as the World No. 11-ranked player has been playing solid tennis of late and promises to make the 2012 French Open quite interesting....
