Brazilian players are once more set to play a key role in the season ahead and, as ever, there will be new breakthrough stars among those who come to the fore.

Tennis will take center stage on the sports calendar one more time in 2014 with the U.S. Open. As the final major tournament of the year, as well as the only one to be contested on American soil, there will be lofty expectations for the big event. Unfortunately, due to a lack of American stars on the men’s side, it doesn’t seem likely that any U.S. player will break the country’s...

If burning your pants is cool, this man is Miles Davis. It’s unclear exactly what “Jo Floyd” thought was going to happen when he teed off on a flaming golf ball last December. He probably thought it was going to be awesome, which it was, if you consider catching yourself on fire a scintillating thing to do.

It is clear from the 2014 U.S. Open that not all draws are created equal. While some top players in both the men’s and women’s draws have a relatively easy path to the quarterfinals, others will receive some tough challenges right away. Even the best in the world could end up going down in the first few rounds. The good news is this will create an exciting tournament from start to finish....

It wasn’t a surprise that the Italian football federation (FIGC) pursued Antonio Conte to coach the Italian national team when Carlo Tavecchio was confirmed as the organization’s president. What was a mild surprise is that Conte accepted the position. It is, of course, a risky move from Conte‘s standpoint. Anything less than a run to the semifinals or beyond in Euro 2016...

Every player at the 2014 U.S. Open now knows their path to the fourth and final major of the year. The draw was announced Thursday, allowing us to take a much more in-depth look at what to expect in New York. On the men’s side, Rafael Nadal’s absence has seemingly left Roger Federer a dream draw, while the last three major champions (not counting Nadal), Novak Djokovic, Stan Wawrinka...

Lewis Hamilton‘s quest to catch Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg atop the Formula One Drivers’ Standings is ready to be reignited at the Belgian Grand Prix, the first race back after this season’s summer break. Rosberg currently sits nine points ahead of the Englishman, who managed to claw a little ground back during the last race in Budapest, where he finished third to the German’s...

It is, of course, very early days, but the initial indications from Dunga’s first call-up for the Brazilian national team were positive and encouraging. With only 10 players surviving from the World Cup debacle, his squad selection sets down a clear vision for the future, for his players as well as the media and public. Dunga’s opening tests take place in exactly two weeks. Brazil travel...

For once, it’s the smaller teams dominating the headlines ahead of the 2014 Formula One Belgian Grand Prix. Caterham announced earlier in the week that three-time Le Mans winner Andre Lotterer would be making a one-off appearance in Spa. He will replace Kamui Kobayashi. Then on Thursday, Marussia made a driver swap of their own. With cash-flow becoming a problem for the Anglo-Russian team, Max...
