A high-five is the simplest celebration in sports, but it looks like these two rugby players need to work on the basics of slapping hands. All Blade Thomson’s Hurricanes teammate wanted to do was congratulate him on a job well-done. He never intended to have Thomson whack himself in the face. Maybe next time.

Numerous golfers had a chance to win the 2015 Crowne Plaza Invitational on Sunday, but Chris Kirk managed to emerge victorious at Colonial. Kirk fired a final-round 66, drained a clutch downhill putt on the par-four closing hole and posted 12-under par to beat a trio of world-class players, including Jordan Spieth, by one stroke. The tournament was for the taking down the stretch, but not enough birdies...

Another full slate of first-round matches at the 2015 French Open is on the horizon for Monday, with the best stars in the sport looking to continue the dominant trend set Sunday by the top favorites in play. The first day of play at Roland Garros didn’t produce many dramatic moments, with Steve Johnson’s five-set upset of No. 26 Guillermo Garcia-Lopez serving as the only one of the 32...

On Lap 64 of 78 in Sunday’s Monaco Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton was just beginning to enter the danger zone. Having dominated two-thirds of the race after securing a comfortable pole position on Saturday, a fourth win of 2015 felt like a formality. Within 15 laps of the chequered flag, and with a 21-second lead over second-placed Nico Rosberg, Hamilton would have switched to management mode, focusing...

Everything has changed and nothing has changed. Ahead of the 2015 French Open, there is, as usual, an overwhelming favourite. He’s just not the usual candidate at this time of year. Analysing Novak Djokovic‘s draw in Paris might carry with it a degree of the inevitable; anyone who doesn’t expect the Serb to at least make the final on June 7 must know something we don’t. Djokovic...

Roger Federer was the star attraction on Day 1 of the French Open, and his start to the Roland Garros showpiece triggered plenty of divisive chatter on social media. The Swiss, who has only one this tournament once in his incomparably illustrious career, eased into Round 2 with an easy 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Alejandro Falla. But much of the talk after the match was what happened afterward, when...

Three men have dominated the chatter in the lead-up to Roland Garros: Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray. It makes sense. Nadal has won this tournament nine out of the last 10 years, Djokovic is the world No. 1 and needs this title to capture a Career Slam and Murray is heading into the French Open undefeated on the surface this season and with two clay-court titles. However, there’s...

Chalk reigned supreme in the opening day of the 2015 French Open, with straight-set victories the norm for seeded players and very few upsets among the heavy slate of Sunday matches. No. 2 Roger Federer and No. 3 Simona Halep set the tone as the top seeds in their respective brackets, each posting comprehensive straight-set wins. Those behind them followed suit. Throughout the 32 matches on Sunday’s...

With the first day at the French Open in the books, most of the tournament’s top seeds in action remained alive and relatively unchallenged. Such is to be expected early in Grand Slams, though of course top players have been eliminated early at this tournament in the past. Such was not the case Sunday, however, though the day wasn’t completely devoid of surprising performances or...

With the majority of the European seasons coming to a close this weekend, the focus of United States men’s national team fans turned squarely to Major League Soccer and the Scandinavian leagues. On home soil, Charlie Davies continued his push for the CONCACAF Gold Cup roster, while one of the top prospects in the talent pool went down with another injury in Norway. One of the top...
