Roger Federer: Preview for Australian Open Quarterfinal vs. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga

When Roger Federer began his Australian Open journey, the talk surrounded the difficult draw on the horizon. It hasn’t phased the 17-time Grand Slam champion, however, as he’s breezed through the first four rounds and will now face Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the quarterfinals. It’s been an impressive run for Federer, who began the season’s first major with victories over Benoit Paire... 

USMNT: 5 MLS Players Who Will Make an Impact in Friendly vs. Canada and Beyond

Twenty-one of the 25 players selected for January’s camp call MLS their home. As many as eight may be selected to join the USMNT in Honduras on Feb. 6. By now, Klinsmann and the...

Tiger’s Rule, Rory’s Clubs, Phil’s Taxes: What a Way to Start 2013

It’s a soap opera. And yet people say golf is boring. Honestly, we can’t get enough of this stuff. The No. 1 and No. 2 golfers in the world missed the cut in Abu Dhabi, and Phil Mickelson doesn’t like taxes (per Mike Walker of Golf.com). Of the three, at least Phil Mickelson shot respectable scores at the Humana Classic, and we agree with him. Nobody likes taxes.  Should we... 

2013 Australian Open: Ranking the Chances of the Men Left in the Draw

The Australian Open heads into the quarterfinal round with very few surprises in the Men’s Singles draw.  The top four seeds have all made it through and, save for Djokovic’s five-set marathon in the round of 16, have done so with relative ease.  With the fifth-seeded Berdych, the seventh-seeded Tsonga and the tenth-seeded Almagro also remaining, in the field there promises to... 

Australian Open 2013: Does Jeremy Chardy Have a Shot Against Andy Murray?

While defeating the third-seeded Scot may take some serious luck, as you can infer from the numbers, Chardy certainly hasn’t been short on luck this tournament. Despite a seemingly massive disparity in skill between Murray and Chardy, the Frenchman’s win against Murray in Cincinnati last year should answer this question.   Will it happen?

Is Novak Djokovic Ready for History at the Australian Open?

Little remained to be said after the last victory of Novak Djokovic at Rod Laver Arena because it was so reminiscent of the last such great win he had had there—his five-hour, five-set marathon par excellence against Stanislas Wawrinka. That match, which ended 12-10 in the final set, reminded him later of the five-and-a-half hour epic he had played in the 2012 final against Rafael Nadal. Only...
