Ranking Formula 1’s Biggest Egomaniacs

I’ve been to enough Formula One paddocks on race day to know that the sport’s inner sanctum is a very exclusive club indeed. If you’re not a recognisable celebrity or pitching a big business deal, people simply won’t give you the time of day. With so many millions of dollars floating around and deals to be done, sometimes it helps in the crazy world of F1 to have an ego that...

Roger Federer made quick work of Grega Zemlja in the first round of the 2013 U.S. Open, winning 6-3, 6-2, 7-5. Rain forced this match to move from Monday night to Tuesday afternoon, as Beyond the Baseline pointed out on Twitter: Despite the fact that the 32-year-old is having one of the worst seasons of his career, he came into this match as the clear favorite. If you needed any evidence of that,...

Golfing legend Arnold Palmer appears to have casually granted a lesson to 2013 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl/modeling superstar Kate Upton.

Young Haitian-American Tennis Phenom Victoria Duval Takes off Her Shades

When I first saw Vicky Duval play tennis in her first-round U.S. Open qualifying match last week, I was curious. Who was this young, Haitian-American 17-year-old with the sporty shades who was beating up on the No. 4 seed in the tournament, Teliana Pereira of Brazil? Duval was fast around the court, and she pushed Pereira around with her attacking groundstrokes. I sensed that she was a real competitor. When...
