Off-court storylines have plagued the game, as they have other professional sports. From bad blood between players, to parent-coaches who are out of control, to doping and gambling, tennis is hurting...

Friday’s match between Barcelona and Santos will go down as nothing more than a preseason friendly, but there’s a good chance it will serve as a gauge for just how strong the current La Liga champions can be this season. The Catalan club scored four goals in each half to record an 8-0 victory and recapture the Joan Gamper Trophy in front of an inspired crowd at Camp Nou. Cesc Fabregas...

Tiger Woods just missed out on making history in the second round of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio on Friday, as the No. 1 player in the world shot a nine-under 61. If he would’ve shot two strokes better, he would’ve had the sixth 59 in PGA Tour history. According to ESPN Stats & Info, Tiger’s round tied the Firestone Country Club record as well as his personal...
