Djokovic Faces Murray for the Australian Open Title: The Stakes

The Australian Open final is set. No, it won’t be a showdown between the No. 1 and No. 2, as it was last year. Instead, it will be a remake of the 2011 final, between the current No. 1 and No. 3, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray. Men’s tennis has now reached a point, in this current generation at least, where every Grand Slam final becomes historic. If for only the most basic of reasons,... 

Gervinho’s Recent Form Solidifies Ivory Coast as Africa Cup of Nations Contender

Ivory Coast striker Gervinho has been on a tear in the first two matches of Group D play in the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations. With two goals in as many matches, including both ultimate game winners, the 25-year-old has solidified the Elephants as a legitimate contender for the trophy. The embattled scorer’s emergence isn’t completely surprising, since he was a solid contributor on last year’s... 

Victoria Azarenka Boyfriend: Tennis Star and Musician Make Odd Couple

Victoria Azarenka is one of the greatest tennis players on the planet, so it’s only fitting that she has an accomplished companion to share her success with.

Stefan Kendal Gordy—or Redfoo, as most people know him by—is... 

Didier Drogba: Saturday Benching Was Blessing in Disguise for Ivory Coast

Benching Ivory Coast captain Didier Drogba to start Saturday’s critical Africa Cup of Nations fixture against Tunisia wouldn’t seem like the soundest strategy for manager Sabri Lamouchi. The bold strategy paid off, however, and turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the squad. The reason that the longtime Chelsea star striker wasn’t in was partially due to his struggles against...

Breaking Down Rory McIlroy’s Olympic Problem

If he had his way, Rory McIlroy would play golf for Northern Ireland’s Olympic team. Unfortunately for the world No. 1, there’s no such team. Instead, players from Northern Ireland are given the option of playing for either Great Britain or Ireland. Indeed, as McIlroy himself stated, ”If I could and there was a Northern Irish team I’d play for Northern Ireland.”  Were...

Novak Djkovoic: Australian Open Final vs. Andy Murray Will Set Tone for 2013

If you’ve been (understandably) unable to stay up until 3 a.m. to keep up with the latest happenings at the 2013 Australian Open, well, just imagine it looking a whole lot like the end of 2012. Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray will meet in their second final in three years down in Melbourne, having vanquished opponents ranging from nondescript to top-ranked along the way. That should... 

Roger Federer: Why Legend Can’t Solve Andy Murray

Roger Federer lost once against to Andy Murray in a big match, and it’s becoming increasingly clear that Murray’s low error rate keeps Federer from solving the Brit.   The two have met 20 times, with Murray winning 12 of those matches. Most recently, Murray has beaten Federer in the gold-medal game of the 2012 Summer Olympics and in the semifinals of the 2013 Australian Open. While... 

Ivory Coast Put Three Past Tunisia: Have the Elephants Finally Arrived?

Wherever you looked before the Africa Cup of Nations began, whoever you spoke to, the Cote d’Ivoire were heralded and proclaimed as the champions-elect of this year’s competition.
