The Roger Federer vs. Rafael Nadal rivalry comes back to where it all started this week. They met for the first time 10 years ago here in Miami. Roger Federer had just won the first two majors of his career and was settling in as the world No. 1. The 17-year-old Rafael Nadal had yet to really make a name for himself. Nadal ended up taking that match 6-3, 6-3. It would only be fitting...

When Daniel Ricciardo replaced Mark Webber at Red Bull, he stepped into one of Formula One’s most desirable seats.

Adam Scott, fresh off his course-record-tying 62 in the first round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational, played, well, Tiger-like. He put more space between himself and the rest of the international field by firing a 68 with a bogey on the final hole for a seven-shot lead headed into the weekend. “It was a pretty good way to back up a low round,” Scott said. “It’s not easy to...

The Six Nations is over for another year and the European order of things is rejigged. Ireland and England have little between them, with England perhaps with the advantage of youth on their side and a better record against the big boys from down south. Wales have slipped, and France are, well, France. Nothing achieved in the Six Nations was ever going to disturb the top two slots in any rankings system,...

The standard PR talk coming from team bosses and drivers alike after the opening race of any Formula One season is that a clear picture of how the season will develop will not emerge until the European races. Despite the apparent dominance of Mercedes in Australia, with Nico Rosberg winning by a whopping 26.777 seconds from Kevin Magnusson, team boss Toto Wolff remained cautious when quoted on Autosport.com.

But in the shape of Barcelona star Javier Mascherano, perhaps the Albiceleste already possess the key to fix up a defence that still fails to inspire great confidence. There should be no doubt that, come June 2014, the world’s eyes will be on the Argentine national team. Going...
