Maria Sharapova Looks for WTA No. 1 Ranking with Coach Jimmy Connors

Maria Sharapova and Jimmy Connors will be joining forces. That’s a lot of star power and high octane adrenaline. Connors, recently tapped by Sharapova to be her coach, will be taking this role for only the second time; he had previously coached former US Open winner Andy Roddick from 2006-2008. It’s a curious union. Connors is the 1970s star who played the US Open with the same kind of...

United States vs. Costa Rica: 5 Things We Learned

In its final game of the group stage of the Gold Cup, the United States saw off Costa Rica in a surprisingly tense 1-0 game that was decided by Brek Shea’s first international goal in the 82nd minute.

The Eight Most Surprising Head-to-Head Records in Tennis

When Roger Federer loses to Rafael Nadal, it is an event, albeit not a surprising event. Certain head-to-head records do not stun tennis fans at all.  When two great players meet, it is often just a matter of how they play on the day, as Andy Murray has previously pointed out to reporters.  After all, it would be difficult to imagine the top players completely dominating each other on a regular...

British Open 2013: Golf’s Top Dark-Horse Players Ready to Impress

The fields at today’s golf tournaments are so talented and deep that a seemingly endless number of players have a decent shot at winning.  I certainly wouldn’t be surprised to see a favorite like Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson hoist the Claret Jug this year, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if a dark horse stormed to the top of the leaderboard to steal the British Open crown.  After...

If the oddsmakers in Vegas are correct, Tiger Woods will win the 2013 British Open. Obviously, betting odds have nothing to do with what will actually happen.  Trying to predict who will win any given golf tournament is about as difficult as closing your eyes while playing the game itself. So many unpredictable variables come into play, and you never know when a fringe golfer will suddenly...
