Would Formula 1 Race Promoters Really Quit Sport over Lack of Engine Noise?

Australian Grand Prix chairman Ron Walker announced his retirement last weekend. Instead of riding quietly off into the Australian sunset, though, he has decided to take a few parting shots at Formula One. Specifically, Walker—like many others—is miffed at the lack of noise produced by the new, hybrid F1 engines. He chose an interesting way to voice his displeasure, though, first saying...

Alexandr Dolgopolov: Can He Maintain Recent Form and Land in the Top 10?

While it might not garner as much attention as the resurgence of Roger Federer or the state of Andy Murray’s game, physically and mentally, the consistently high level of play from Alexandr Dolgopolov over the past few weeks is definitely newsworthy. The 25-year-old from the Ukraine notched a huge win at the Sony Open in Miami, an ATP Masters 1000 tournament, defeating reigning Australian Open... 

Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray Renew Rivalry at Miami Sony Open

Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray will face off in the quarterfinals of Miami’s Sony Open. If recent history is any indication, this will be a grueling battle.

Rafael Nadal served a flawless first set and never relented, roaring to a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Fabio Fognini in Tuesday’s fourth-round match at the 2014 Sony Open.

Serena Williams vs. Angelique Kerber: Score and Recap from 2014 Miami Masters

After sitting out at Indian Wells, Serena Williams was a little slow in proving she was back to form. She started slow against Yaroslava Shvedova, dropped a set to Caroline Garcia and it was tough to judge her performance against Coco Vandeweghe, who has a bright future but is ranked just 104th in the world.  But with Tuesday’s comprehensive, dominant, 6-2, 6-2 quarterfinal win over world... 

The MLS Home Guard Returns and Prepares for the World Cup

If any sports writer had written a year ago, “Clint Dempsey and Michael Bradley will lead their Major League Soccer teams into the 2014 season,” it would not have been long before that poor fool was looking for work after suffering the indignity of a public mocking—for good reason. Yet, here we are, the start of the 2014 season, and not only are Dempsey and Bradley leading their MLS... 

Why Rafael Marquez Is Under the Most Pressure for Mexico at the World Cup
