French Open Results 2013: Day 6 Scores, Highlights and Recap

The sixth day of French Open action featured matches from both the second and third rounds, as weather delays throughout the year’s second Grand Slam tournament have thrown off the schedule at Roland Garros. While it’s an undoubtedly frustrating development for event organizers and competitors alike, the silver lining in Paris is that more star power took the court on Friday due to Mother... 

Tiger Woods at Memorial Tournament 2013: Day 2 Recap and Twitter Reaction

Tiger Woods struggled on Friday in the second round of the Memorial Tournament, managing a mere two-over 74 to sit at plus-one overall through 36 holes—just two strokes ahead of the projected three over-par cut line. As a five-time champion in the Jack Nicklaus-hosted event at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, it was surprising that Woods couldn’t get anything going in Round... 

French Open 2013: Novak Djokovic in Shadows of Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer

It’s not that tennis fans are unaware that Novak Djokovic can make history by winning the French Open. After all, the world’s No. 1 has dominated tennis for two years now. Yet, media and fan interest is hardly in an uproar. It’s been a more muted reception for Djokovic, respectful, but it’s cold and distant from those who root for Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal. No matter what... 

Neymar’s Move to Barcelona Puts Him in Spotlight for Brazil-England Friendly

When Brazil and England contest a highly anticipated international friendly Sunday at Rio de Janeiro’s Maracana Stadium, the match will feature an almost absurd amount of world-famous names from Europe’s best and most respected leagues. But the player receiving the most attention will almost certainly be a 21-year-old who hasn’t yet played professionally on the continent. This is... 

Memorial Tournament: Will Rory McIlroy’s Struggles Continue Through Weekend?

Rory McIlroy’s 2013 PGA Tour season went from bad to worse yesterday during the first round of the Memorial Tournament. The problem is, I don’t expect for that to change anytime soon. Players have only a couple weeks until the U.S. Open starts, and they usually use the Memorial as a tune-up for the second major on schedule. Rory just continues to play up-and-down golf. He has been all over... 

Lack of Media Attention Will Only Help Roger Federer During French Open

17-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer is not used to going under the radar. This, to an extent, is exactly what is going on right at this moment as the French Open is taking place in Paris. All of the media’s attention is focused on seven-time defending champion Rafael Nadal and World No. 1 Novak Djokovic, and rightly so. Nadal came back in February from an eight-month extended break and... 

FIFA’s New Anti-Racism Measures Represent Progress but Require Enforcement

That unfamiliar sensation filtering down from FIFA‘s inner sanctum on this otherwise unremarkable Friday? Believe it or not, it’s progress. Now, though, we wait to see whether progress will mean action. In a vote backed by a 99 percent super-majority at its Congress in Mauritius, FIFA has adopted stern, new measures meant to combat racism in football. According to the new guidelines, the... 

6 Ways Landon Donovan Would Make USNMT Better at 2014 World Cup

Landon Donovan‘s involvement in the U.S. men’s national team will certainly be one of the talking points when the 2014 World Cup comes around. ESPN FC reported back in October that Donovan wanted to take a break from the game. The LA Galaxy attacker has long been a fixture in the senior side, but he may face a battle to regain his once untouchable status in the squad. As reported on the... 

Is Novak Djokovic Still the Best Player in the World?

The past two years have been owned by Novak Djokovic. Since steamrolling through the field at the 2011 Australian Open to grab his second major, Djokovic has won four more majors, eight Masters events and spent 84 weeks at No. 1. In that same time frame, he has gone 8-3 against Rafael Nadal, 7-3 against Roger Federer and 7-4 against Andy Murray. While unapologetically squashing questions about his... 

5 Traits the Greatest Tennis Players Have in Common

While analyzing Grigor Dimitrov at the 2013 French Open, tennis commentators Cliff Drysdale and Brad Gilbert pondered if a person who copied greatness could become great themselves. Called “Baby Fed,” the 22-year-old Dimitrov has studied Roger Federer‘s game and reproduced his strokes. But is that enough to make him as great as Federer? No. Surely other girls have grown up trying...
