This is where things really start to get interesting. On Monday, both the men’s and women’s brackets will be fully immersed in the 2014 U.S. Open’s round of 16. While the field continues to dwindle, we’ll begin to see some very high-profile matches. That will be apparent on Day 8, as only two unranked players are set to take the court in New York. Both No. 1 seeds—Novak...

There are certainly a lot more familiar faces in the men’s last 16 at the 2014 US Open than over in the women’s side. While six of the top eight female seeds have been consumed by the New York heat and wind (only Serena Williams and Eugenie Bouchard are alive), nine of the top 10 male seeds remain in contention, which makes for some barnstorming fourth-round contests. The pick of them pits...

Europe’s top divisions are making their way back into the global rugby picture frame by frame, but it’s still the in-swing Southern Hemisphere that stars highly in this week’s biggest hits. “Big” Ben Tameifuna gets no less than two mentions in our latest edition, one of which warranted a sin-binning—due to the fact that it wasn’t against an actual player.

Mercedes again dropped the ball at the 2014 Formula One Belgian Grand Prix. Despite having more than enough pace to secure an easy one-two finish, they were beaten by Red Bull for the third time this year. Nico Rosberg said sorry on August 29 via his Facebook page, but sorry won’t bring back the lost points. Further back, Williams will be disappointed not to have been challenging for the win....

What a week it has been in New York City. The tennis courts at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center have been littered with upstarts and legends over the last seven days, and along the way we’ve seen so many underdogs triumph and even more champions stand their ground. Most of the underdog victories have come on the women’s side of the draw, where six of the top eight seeds have...

Sunday’s action at the 2014 U.S. Open had a little bit of everything: upsets, great back-and-forth matches and a little intrigue courtesy of Mother Nature. As noted by the tournament’s Twitter account, play was halted during the late afternoon and early evening after thunderstorms hit Flushing, New York: Although that changed some fans’ Sunday plans, the delay didn’t throw...

These are hard times for the top seeds on the hard courts at the 2014 U.S. Open. Day 7 saw a pair of notable players get bounced from the tournament much earlier than expected. No. 10 Caroline Wozniacki defeated No. 5 Maria Sharapova in three sets, while No. 26 Gilles Simon stunned No. 4 David Ferrer 6-3, 3-6, 6-1, 6-3. It’s readily apparent that no seeding is safe in New York, New...

It was a hectic week for Americans playing abroad with Julian Green, Geoff Cameron, Brek Shea and Duane Holmes all in the transfer headlines and United States men’s national team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann announcing his first post-2014 World Cup roster. Tim Howard was also in the news after a bust-up in Everton’s game against Chelsea, and assists were credited this week to a number of...
