Midseason Report: Grading Toro Rosso’s Daniel Ricciardo

Is Daniel Ricciardo the man to replace Mark Webber at Red Bull Racing? It would seem to make sense on paper. One Australian for another and a driver who would allow Sebastian Vettel a smooth ride as the team’s undoubted No. 1. But is Ricciardo really good enough to make the step up from sister team Toro Rosso and into arguably the fastest car on the grid? Let’s evaluate his season so far. For... 

Formula One: Why It Must Keep the Indian GP on the Calendar

There’s a lot to be said for Formula One sticking to its European roots and not branching out to any old Asian or Middle-Eastern country that builds a race circuit. It goes too far, though, to suggest that the logic is totally flawed. Yeongam in Korea had potential, as organisers promised much and built an interesting circuit—but the overall package was terrible. While it failed to galvanise...

Injuries to Monitor as US Open 2013 Approaches

It’s impossible to play professional tennis and avoid injuries.  Knee bands and Kinesio tape are as much a part of tennis attire as wrist bands.  However, some injuries are more bothersome than others. These injuries hinder performance enough to diminish a player’s chances of winning a tournament. A number of high-profile players have injuries that raise questions about their... 

Rogers Cup 2013: Is There Any Hope for American Men’s Tennis?

American tennis fans, it might be time to hit the panic button. John Isner, the highest-ranked American man on the ATP Tour, lost in the first round of the Rogers Cup on Tuesday to No. 71 Vasek Pospisil, 7-5, 6-7, 6-7.  He was the only American man in the main draw of the Rogers Cup, which is a Masters event for the men.

Grading Rafael Nadal’s Hard-Court Form at 2013 Rogers Cup

Rafael Nadal‘s return to tennis after seven weeks was a quick 6-2, 6-0 thrashing of Jesse Levine at the 2013 Rogers Cup in Montreal on Wednesday. Like Achilles strutting back to battle after his self-imposed exile, Nadal didn’t miss a beat in brushing aside his overmatched competitor. While there was little drama as to the outcome of the match, there was nonetheless plenty to evaluate about...
