There have been other surprising retirements in Open-era tennis with some of the biggest stars in tennis. Usually, there is a hint that this will occur, but it can still... 

Mexico vs. Ivory Coast: 6 Things We Learned

Jose Manuel de la Torre can breathe another month thanks to El Tri’s performance against Ivory Coast. Mexico beat the African side 4-1, and even though it was just a friendly match, it is definitely a key result for a team that had not scored more than two goals in a game in 2013.

Germany vs. Paraguay: 5 Things We Learned

Last night didn’t exactly go to plan for Germany when they faced Paraguay in Kaiserlautern in their fourth friendly match of the year, as Joachim Loew continued to alter and change things for Die Mannschaft.  Unfortunately such precautions were in vein as Paraguay proved worthy opponents for the world’s second-highest-ranked national team in a vivid and balanced 3-3 draw.  Yet... 

Ranking the Top 10 F1 Drivers of the 1990s

We all like to reminisce about Formula One’s “halcyon days,” to use a terrible cliche. Often, our minds will wander to Grands Prix seen in the 70s or 80s (or, in my own experience, pictures and videos of said races). But consider the 1990s for a moment, if you will. No driver won the title more than twice, there was a wonderful crossover of generation and, very briefly, we witnessed...
