How Disastrous 2014 Wuhan Open Will Affect the WTA

The 2014 Wuhan Open was supposed to be the sort of coming-out party for the WTA’s revved-up Asian swing of the tour. Instead, the tournament got off to a disastrous start.  In its first year, this tournament offered $2,440,070 in prize money as a premier-level event. With a state-of-art tennis facility, Wuhan was supposed to showcase the commitment Asian cities are making to hosting... 

Roger Federer’s Fans in India Oblige Photoshop Request with Hilarious Tweets

Roger Federer took a quick trip to India recently, but unlike the fashion in which he excels on the tennis court, he couldn’t get to all the places he wanted. Thus, “King Roger” enlisted the help of local fans to bolster his odyssey vicariously through Photoshop, posting a message to Twitter imploring his followers to contribute to the cause: The results were spectacular.

Airplane Passenger Reads About Maria Sharapova, Unaware She Is Right Behind Him

If this airplane passenger wanted to know the latest on Maria Sharapova, he could have just turned around and talked to her himself. Of course, he probably wasn’t expecting one of the best tennis players in the world to be sitting in the same section as him. The bizarre coincidence brought a smile to Sharapova’s face. Hopefully she at least introduced herself to him after sending out this... 

5 Key Battles for Liga MX Week 10

Week 10 of the 2014 Apertura will be a key matchday, as several clubs still have a shot at qualifying for the Liguilla, but the footballers need to stay at their best. It will be an interesting week since several undisputed starters won’t appear due to injuries, such is the case of Monterrey stalwarts Humberto Suazo and Efrain Velarde. Some players, like Arturo Alfonso Gonzalez and Joao Rojas,... 

Formula 1 Will Remain a Team Sport Despite Need for Drivers as Stars of the Show

It’s official: Formula One is coming back to the people. The 2014 season has generally produced the most exciting, tense, fight-to-the-flag races in many a year, with the new regulations and the resultant loss of downforce making drivers prone to mistakes. The decision made by Pirelli, the sport’s sole tyre supplier, to stiffen each of their compounds for this year has reeled in those who... 

Neymar Compared to Brazil Legend Romario by Selecao Coach Dunga

Dunga has paid his new Brazil captain, Neymar, a stunning tribute, comparing the forward to legendary player Romario. Dunga himself was captain of the Selecao in 1994 when they won the World Cup, with Romario the star striker. Of course, 2014 was a far less successful tournament for Brazil on home soil, but Dunga said the 22-year-old has qualities that make him a “benchmark” in the game. Per... 

5 Things McLaren Must Do to Return to the Top of F1 in 2015

“McLaren exists to win races.” That’s what the team’s website says. “Do I feel pain when we don’t win a race? Yes, acute pain.” That’s what McLaren CEO Ron Dennis told Motor Sport Magazine‘s Simon Taylor two years ago. In that case, Dennis must have some strong painkillers. McLaren‘s last win came in the final race of the 2012 season... 

Ranking the US Open’s 5 Best Men’s Singles Finals Since 1978

Marin Cilic‘s victory at the 2014 U.S. Open—the first tournament since 2005 that saw none of the Big Four compete in a Grand Slam final—served as a timely reminder that tennis comes in cycles.  Cilic’s victory over Kei Nishikori was fairly simple in the end; his win over Novak Djokovic was a much better match. The simplicity of his victory, however, only served... 

10 Burning Questons for Brazil Manager Dunga

Brazil will head to the Far East in the coming fortnight for fixtures with traditional rivals Argentina in Beijing and Japan in Singapore. For new manager Dunga, the two fixtures represent further tests of his new setup. After a successful start, overcoming both Ecuador and Colombia 1-0 in USA earlier this month, the 1994 World Cup-winning captain will be keen to continue building momentum ahead of... 

Conrad Smith Says 2007 All Blacks a Better Team Than 2011, Is He Right?

New Zealand centre Conrad Smith has been a member of two World Cup squads: the 2011 champions and the ill-fated 2007 quarter-finalists. Despite the results of each, he recently claimed that the 2007 team was the better squad of the two. In reality, such comparisons are near impossible. They do, however, make for an interesting debate.  Perhaps Smith is not too far off the truth; the 2007...
