Andy Murray has been so close, yet so far in his attempts to capture his first Wimbledon title. For the past three years, Murray has strolled to the semifinals and then crashed out to the superior Rafael Nadal (2011 and 2010) and Andy Roddick (2009). This time around, he has marched his way to the quarterfinals and remains relatively unscathed. He romped to victory against the unseeded Nikolay Davydenko...

Going into Euro 2012, I was skeptical that Spain would win it all for several reasons. They were going into the tournament missing David Villa and didn’t have a great striker in form. In addition to that, they were missing captain, Carlos Puyol, who had been an anchor at the back in 2008 and 2010.
