In part 2 of this series of midseason reflections, we have a look at Felipe Massa and assess whether Ferrari are likely to keep him for the 2013 season. Despite a slight upturn in form between the Monaco and British Grand Prix—sixth around the principality, fourth at Silverstone, and he was busy setting fastest laps in fifth position at Montreal before he spun on Lap 6—2012 has still not...

Before the start of the season, I highlighted six drivers who had a lot to prove going into 2012. The article can be found here. The midseason break is as good a time as any to revisit those men—to see how they’re progressing. This time, it’s Lewis Hamilton. Background Lewis Hamilton had a truly rotten 2011. In what was usually the second-best car, the 2008 World Champion managed...

Before the start of the season, I highlighted six drivers who had a lot to prove going into 2012. The article can be found here. The mid-season break is as good a time as any to revisit those men to see how they’re progressing. First, let’s take a look at Felipe Massa. Background Massa entered 2012 on very thin ice.

In part one of a series of midseason reviews, we look at which drivers have been overachievers and which underachievers in...

When the US Open begins on Monday, August 27th, five-time tournament champion Roger Federer will enter as the clear favorite to win his sixth title. Essentially, it’s his tournament to lose. One major reason most believe Fed to be the undisputed favorite for the tourney is because of the absence of 2010 US Open champion Rafael Nadal due to a lingering knee issue. This leaves Federer’s...

If there was going to be a Grand Slam tournament where a lesser-known player would become champion, the 2012 U.S. Open would be it. In the past 30 slams, either Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal have won 29 of them. Andy Murray is also right there in every tournament and took a gold medal in the Olympics. Tennis is ready for a change, and this week can be a good opportunity for that. Nadal...

Novak Djokovic will continue his string of hard-court successes this summer at the 2012 US Open. The current world No. 2 on the men’s side is primed for a repeat championship in Flushing Meadows, and will put the nightmares of Wimbledon behind him. Before the 2012 French Open, Djokovic had won three Grand Slam tournaments in a row, but after a loss to Rafael Nadal in the final at Roland...

Andy Roddick has faced many disappointments in his career following his triumph at the 2003 U.S. Open, which is still his lone Grand Slam victory. With Rafael Nadal‘s withdrawal from this year’s U.S. Open in New York—plus the fact that seemingly unbeatable players like Novak Djokovic have demonstrated vulnerabilities—Roddick will have an opportunity to be a contender for another...

When Roger Federer defeated Andy Murray in this year’s Wimbledon final—his 17th Grand Slam singles title—it was a not-so-subtle reminder that Federer is still the greatest male tennis player that ever lived. He also proved that, at 31, he’s still a legitimate threat to add to his all-time record for men’s singles Grand Slam titles. Some cynics may be inclined to slightly...
