David De Gea Nutmegs Rival Iker Casillas in Spain Training

After a disappointing week that saw a move to Real Madrid fail to materialise, David De Gea has cheered himself up by nutmegging rival Iker Casillas in Spain training on Wednesday.  Spain were preparing for their European Championship qualifier at home to Slovakia on Saturday, when De Gea cheekily flicked the ball through the clueless Casillas’ legs as he strolled past. The FC Porto keeper... 

Formula 1’s Latest Rumours and Talk: McLaren-Honda, Red Bull, Force India, More

McLaren racing director Eric Boullier is not ruling out the possibility of Honda supplying a second team in the near future—but only if it doesn’t impact on his own team’s relationship with their Formula One engine partner.

What Happened to the Next Generation of Men’s Tennis Stars?

This time last year, Rafael Nadal had withdrawn from the U.S. Open with a wrist injury. Andy Murray was still recovering from minor back surgery, and the big talk on the ATP Tour was about all the young guns—Grigor Dimitrov, Milos Raonic, Kei Nishikori and Nick Kyrgios—surging toward the top.  A year later, and those younger players seem to have taken a step back. On Wednesday,... 

Rafael Nadal vs. Diego Schwartzman: Score and Reaction from 2015 US Open

The 2015 U.S. Open continues to be anything but a cakewalk for Rafael Nadal, as he labored in the second round against Diego Schwartzman on Wednesday evening. The two-time U.S. Open champion won in straight sets, 7-6(5), 6-3, 7-5, but the result nearly could’ve gone the other way given how poor Nadal looked for stretches.

Ranking the Most Dominant Performances in US Open History

We tend to remember players who won a U.S. Open finals in overwhelming fashion, but players who dominate every opponent on their way to winning the two-week Grand Slam event in Flushing Meadows may deserve more credit. Jimmy Connors’ 6-0, 6-1, 6-0 victory over Ken Rosewall in the 1974 finals may have been the most dominant showing ever in a Grand Slam finals. However, Connors’ performance...
