The rankings may not fully reflect it, but the general feeling among most tennis fans seems to be that Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are still the sport’s two biggest stars. Novak Djokovic may be the No. 1 player in the world, and Andy Murray is coming on strong as well, but it’s tough to match the popularity of Rafa and Fed.

Earlier in the buildup to this 2013 Rugby Championship opening game, fans were savoring the prospect of Australian maverick Quade Cooper facing New Zealand star Dan Carter.

Lotus. Lovely, lovely Lotus. The team has a special place in my heart as my earliest Formula One memory was of Ayrton Senna driving the beautiful black and gold liveried JPS Lotus 98T.

Matches between the two Southern Hemisphere heavyweights always produce drama, with the All Blacks having the edge not just in recent years but throughout the sides’ history.

A spot at the 2015 Rugby World Cup awaits the victors of USA vs. Canada over two legs. One of the North American rivals can secure a safe passage to the tournament in England and bragging rights for the continent. Defeat does not lead to total elimination.

Scratch that. Reboot. Try again. The 2013 Formula One season is not going to register even so much as a blip in McLaren’s long, illustrious history. That is, of course, unless it’s the start of a Williams-esque downturn in form. But, focusing on the positives, attentions have—for a while now in Woking—diverted away from a tumultuous campaign with a difficult car and settled...

Many players have come and gone in the sport of tennis, but it seems some legends’ records will never be beaten. And with the sport being unique, in that there are several court surfaces, it makes the game even more challenging and difficult to shine.

Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer? Steffi Graf, Martina Navratilova or Serena Williams? Whether on comment boards, in bars or among friends, some tennis debates are more fascinating than others. The best debates are those in which both sides have solid arguments. Equal pay is one of those. Men who sometimes sweat through five sets at Grand Slams have a point. But so do the women,...
