Laura Robson and Heather Watson: Who Will Climb Higher?

Laura Robson, Heather Watson, Liam Broady, Oliver Golding, Johnny Marray… oh, and the small matter of Andy Murray. If you follow tennis in the UK, you probably think the place has turned into Australia’s Gold Coast. Johanna Konta certainly thinks so.

The 2014 World Cup is now just 18 months away, with 31 places remaining to join host nation Brazil at world football’s biggest and most prestigious competition. In some continents’ qualifying competitions, it is simply too early to cast judgement on the possible winners and losers.

The USMNT Will Go as Far as Michael Bradley Leads It in 2013 and Beyond

In the coming hexagonal qualifiers and potentially the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the USMNT will go as far as it is led by its roving center-midfielder Michael Bradley. Bradley, though only 25 years old, has been a U.S. international mainstay since 2007. Much of this time, he played for his father, Bob Bradley, then coach of the USMNT. His initial impact on the side was obvious. Bradley’s first... 

Why Ben Hogan Was the Greatest Golfer of All Time

The possibility of Ben Hogan being the greatest golfer of all time had never crossed my mind until a few years ago.  Looking back, it is easy to see how he could be overlooked by myself and many other fans of the sport.   Jack Nicklaus has won the most major tournaments, with a total of 18.  Sam Snead has won the most PGA Tour events ever.  Byron Nelson has the most consecutive... 

Will Rafael Nadal Hold off David Ferrer’s Charge for No. 4 Spot in ATP Rankings?

Rafael Nadal has moved down the ATP Rankings to No. 4 mainly because of the spate of injuries he has suffered in 2012.  The latest statement, as reported by ATPworldtour.com, mentions that Rafael Nadal will not return for the Qatar ExxonMobil Open in Doha and the Australian Open.

Roger Federer Might Be Underrated for the 2013 Australian Open

It’s not often that Roger Federer is overlooked when Grand Slams approach, but the impending 2013 Australian Open must feel like a golden silence for the Swiss Maestro. Federer has been the standard of the ATP the past decade with unprecedented conquests of tennis records and dominance, but media attention has spread to other players and stories. Rafael Nadal has become the No. 1 story by not... 

Can Andy Murray Beat Roger Federer When It Counts?

There is no question that Andy Murray can beat Roger Federer. In fact, he has a leading head-to-head record against the world’s No. 2 superstar. But he trails 0-3 in Majors and only took one set off of the Swiss man in those meetings. If there is one event where he dominated his opponent and did so at an important stage, it would be the 2012 Olympics where he safely took out the weary man on...
