It was a special fan, to be sure—a guy who likely spent most of his childhood hoping he would one day match McGavin’s fictional prowess on the links: I’m not exactly sure who took this picture. The image appears to have been originally...

Even with the heyday of the Big Four on the men’s side, there are rarely bigger matchups from a historical standpoint in a quarterfinal round than one will find Tuesday at the 2015 U.S. Open. The slate is headlined with a rekindling of perhaps sports’ greatest sibling rivalry to open up the night matches on Arthur Ashe Stadium, pegging the Williams sisters against one another.

The Italian Grand Prix was a pivotal race in the 2015 Formula One season, with both title protagonists forced to negotiate significant hurdles at the Monza circuit. Mercedes, the reigning constructors’ champions, responded to their problems in the only way they know how: by going even faster.

Part of the fun of following Formula One is the parlour game of trying to guess which drivers are heading where for the following season. For 2016, it is shaping up to be an easy game to win. Most teams have already confirmed (or at least hinted) they are staying with the same driver lineup they have this season. That means talented young drivers like Stoffel Vandoorne and Jolyon Palmer are likely...

Andy Murray’s streak of consecutive U.S. Open quarterfinals appearances came to an end on Monday at the 2015 U.S. Open, as South Africa’s Kevin Anderson upset the favored Scotsman in four long sets, 7-6 (5), 6-3, 6-7 (2), 7-6 (0).

Let’s make no bones about it. Euro 2016 is well and truly up for grabs. Germany probably remain slight favourites, even if they have had a few issues during qualifying. Spain are still striving to find their most imperious selves. Host nation France are still evidently a work in progress. Portugal may be within touching distance of reaching next summer’s tournament finals in France, but...

Australia arrive at the 2015 Rugby World Cup with the tag as perhaps the most dangerous side in the tournament. An unimpressive few years in the Rugby Championship was ended in style this summer when Michael Cheika’s men took the crown, beating the All Blacks along the way. They got stuffed by the New Zealanders a week later in a Bledisloe Cup rubber, but they did enough with wins over South...

It’s party time for England after they reached Euro 2016 on Saturday, defeating San Marino 6-0 to book their place in France next summer. If any of Roy Hodgson’s players think that means they have licence to take their foot off the gas and coast through their remaining three games in Group E, however, then they have another think coming. The England boss said he is determined to see...
