A season that started out with a bang for Victoria Azarenka has ended with a whimper. On Sunday, Li Na and Serena Williams will face off in the final of the WTA Championships.

Sebastian Vettel won his fourth consecutive world drivers’ championship in fine style, carving his way through the field after starting on the fast wearing softer option tyre to win his third successive Indian Grand Prix from Nico Rosberg and Romain Grosjean.

By the time Friday’s fixtures were in the books, there was a new leader at the top of the 2013 Pro 12 table. Glasgow Warriors’ run at the summit ended as Munster defeated them in a controversial encounter that saw Munster booed off by the Warriors fans at the final whistle.

Maybe, just maybe, 2013 won’t be a complete wash for Roger Federer. And if the Swiss legend is to have a significant impact on the tournaments he enters the last few weeks of the season, perhaps he could look back at his quarterfinal win over one of the game’s bright young talents, Grigor Dimitrov, in Switzerland this week. In their first career encounter, Federer defeated the young Bulgarian...

The World Cup will be played in a few weeks at Royal Melbourne in Australia. With golf going into the 2016 Olympics, maybe Olympic officials need to take a look at the history of the World Cup and make some revisions in format and selection process.

Serena Williams wanted to send a message at the WTA Championships in Istanbul, and she used Petra Kvitova as the carrier pigeon. Yesterday, Williams crushed Kvitova 6-2, 6-3 and became the first player to earn a spot in the semifinals. She also put the rest of the field on alert. She was giving them a preview of what they can expect if they are unfortunate enough to face her in the future. No...
