Roger Federer and Tomas Berdych face off in the final of the Dubai Championships on Saturday, with both players looking to build on what have been strong starts to the new year. Since a first-round loss to Ivo Karlovic at the Qatar Open, Berdych has been on a solid run. He lost to Stanislas Wawrinka in the semifinal of the Australian Open—which Wawrinka went on to win—and then won the ABN...

Woods’ scorecard may represent the fact that he was consistent throughout his round, but that would be one of the last words used to describe his play at PGA National on Friday. Woods was forced to navigate through some terrible tee shots and sketchy...

The second day of the third Formula One preseason test at Bahrain brought with it some wonderful news. The almost universally loathed double points plan will not be extended to cover the final three races. The F1 Strategy Group voted against the plans, meaning only the final race will be affected. Meanwhile, on the track, time is running out for the teams to fix their problems and get their cars ready...

As is almost habitual, the Argentina national team is being mentioned as a strong candidate for glory in neighbouring Brazil. Coach Alejandro Sabella has an enviable wealth of talent at his disposal.
