Will Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal Forge a Grand Slam Rivalry at 2013 U.S. Open?

With all of the rivalries at the top of men’s tennis, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray have not played each other in nearly two years.

Rugby: What Losing Daniel Carter Means for the All Blacks

The All Blacks have suffered a massive blow just days before their first Rugby Championship game of 2013, losing star first five-eighth Daniel Carter to yet another injury which could sideline him for up to a month.

Who Currently Has the Edge in All of Tennis’ Best Rivalries?

Rafael Nadal’s win over Novak Djokovic at the Rogers Cup was his 21st victory over his Serbian nemesis.  Just a few years ago, Nadal was trying to break the riddle of Roger Federer on hard courts. Federer, once dominant over everyone, is struggling to stay relevant.  With any great rivalry, the tide can turn. Right now Nadal clearly has the edge over Djokovic. But... 

Ranking the 10 Greatest American Men’s Tennis Players in History

It’s not easy to pick the greatest American men’s tennis players, let alone rank them. There are just so many to choose from. From the advent of the sport to just recently, Americans could be found at the very top. Unfortunately, it is not just Monte Burke of Forbes that is pining for the past, given the recent dearth of homegrown champions.

WTA: Sloane Stephens Outlasts a Misfiring Maria Sharapova in Cincy

The news this week at the Western and Southern Open in Cinncinatti has been Maria Sharapova‘s hiring of five-time U.S. Open Champion Jimmy Connors heading into the 2013 Open. Sharapova suffered an early defeat at Wimbledon, and a hip-injury has kept her off the WTA Tour for weeks.

Pros and Cons of the PGA Tour’s Potential Takeover of the European Tour

PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem and European Tour chief operating officer Keith Waters say reports that the American tour wants to take over its European counterpart are incorrect, according to The New York Times.

Best Teenage Prospects in Tennis Today

The child prodigy has virtually disappeared in tennis, making it difficult to identify the top teenage prospects in tennis today. Not long ago, teenagers dominated the sport. Martina Hingis was ranked No. 1 in the world at the age of 16, and Bjorn Borg, Rafael Nadal and Boris Becker owned two Grand Slam titles apiece while they were still in their teens. Today, there are no teenagers ranked among... 

Roger Federer Needs Strong 2013 Western & Southern Open to Set Up U.S. Open Run

Of all the competitors in Cincinnati, Ohio competing at the Western & Southern Open, Roger Federer needs a championship run the most.  The living legend is in the final stretch of a 2013 season that has easily been the worst he’s experienced in the last decade. Although 2011 marked his first year without a Slam championship since 2002, he made it to at least the quarterfinals in each... 

Midseason Report: Grading Kimi Raikkonen

With 10 races gone and nine remaining in the 2013 season, Kimi Raikkonen is Sebastian Vettel’s closest challenger, albeit a seemingly vast 38 points behind. Whilst I must confess that I didn’t expect Kimi to be in the top two at this stage of the season and would be surprised if he remains ahead of either Fernando Alonso or Lewis Hamilton by the season’s end, I’m pleased that... 

How Luis Felipe Scolari Made Brazil Look Like World Cup Winners Again

When Brazil headed into the Confederations Cup in June, there were very few people predicting any chance of success for the Selecao. Just a few weeks later, though, Luiz Felipe Scolari’s side were beating Spain 3-0 in the final of the tournament and installing their name firmly among the favourites for next summer’s tournament.
