During this midseason break that seems to have gone on for an eternity now, I’ve been grading drivers out of 10 for their temperament, qualifying and racecraft. Now it’s the turn of McLaren newbie Sergio Perez, but judging by his latest comments on ESPNF1 it appears he’s done it for me!

2013 has been a year unlike any other for one of tennis’ all-time greats, as Roger Federer simply can’t win. That seems like a statement that we’d never echo, but to date, Federer has been close to dreadful by his own unparalleled standards. For Federer, the 2013 U.S. Open will serve as the final chance for the all-time great to remain elite. Federer is currently 32-11, owning one...

Today’s Formula One cars incorporate numbers and different-coloured camera mountings to enable media and fans alike to tell drivers apart. But the easiest way to tell one driver apart from another has always been in the drivers’ helmet designs.

Though the tennis season goes on for months after the stars leave New York, for most of the top players, the U.S. Open is the culmination of the season.

Will 2013 be the greatest season in Serena Williams‘ career? Yes. There are so many highlights, memorable moments and indeed great seasons that Williams has put behind her—and the current season is no exception. Especially if she wins the U.S. Open beginning August 26. There is room for argument about whether it is truly her finest campaign. Her 2002 tour was very successful,...

The FedEx Cup playoffs get rolling Thursday at The Barclays with most of the top 125 golfers of the 2013 season on hand. The event, which makes a return to Liberty National Golf Club for the first time since 2009, is the first of four tournaments that will ultimately determine the 2013 PGA Tour champion and the fortunate winner of $10 million. While winning is still the ultimate goal at The Barclays,...

The FedEx Cup has grown in stature every year since it came into existence in 2007. It’s designed as an end-of-season series of tournaments to define an overall champion of the golf season. It makes plenty of sense and follows the lead of major North American team sports by using a playoff system to declare its champion.
