Rafael Nadal: Why Tennis Star’s Injury Is a Blessing

Rafael Nadal has been away from the game of tennis since July, rehabbing a partially torn patella tendon in his left knee—a blessing in disguise.

Novak Djokovic Defeats Andy Murray to Win Shanghai Masters 2012 Tournament

Andy Murray came into Sunday the two-time defending Shanghai Masters champion, but this year, Novak Djokovic was simply too much to overcome in a truly epic match.

But as is his style, Djokovic wouldn’t go down without a fight.  Djokovic... 

Roger Federer: Erratic Play Against Murray Signals Changing of the Guard

The good news: Roger Federer has been the world’s No. 1 player for 300 weeks. The bad? He hardly has the look of it. Roger Federer got trampled by Andy Murray in the Shanghai Masters semifinal 6-4 6-4, and it wasn’t even close. Perhaps the hierarchy between the two tennis heavyweights is more in Murray’s favor. It sure had the look of it in Shanghai Saturday night. Federer couldn’t... 

Lewis Hamilton Bids Farewell to Title as Sebastian Vettel Stakes His Claim

While Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull had the perfect day at the Korean Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton and McLaren bade farewell to the last, faint hope of securing the 2012 world championship. Vettel took the lead at the first corner and was never headed or troubled as he controlled the race from start to finish—despite some excessive consternation about tyre wear towards the end of the race.

Antigua and Barbuda vs. USA: Improvements That Must Be Made for Team USA

The United States men’s national team has done just enough to likely advance to the next stage of World Cup qualifying, but the run will end unless changes are made.

Spain vs. France: World Cup Preview, Team News, Projected Lineups

Tuesday’s Group I matchup is without doubt the marquee game of the World Cup qualifying campaign to date.

Spain are unquestionably the best team in world football. They are unbeaten in an astonishing...

6 Best US Open Venues

The U.S. Open is the best and most significant of all the majors. The Masters may like to think of itself as the best, but while the hype is huge for that tournament, it’s nowhere near the challenge that the U.S. Open is most years. The only tournament that’s close is the British Open, but if you are an American golfer, you will usually stick with the U.S. Open. The U.S. Open is almost...
