One of the many high points from what was an excellent win for Roy Hodgson‘s men over Brazil last night was the outstanding performance of Arsenal‘s Jack Wilshere. In what was only his 7th cap of what has, so far, been a stop-start England career, he looked right at home on the biggest stage of all and was undoubtedly England’s most impressive performer.

When watching the interesting battle between Victoria Azarenka and Li Na in the Australian Open final, it was very difficult to decide who was going to win. The match swung back and forth throughout, but I did think Li was the slightly better player.

Many people will disagree with this statement, and I can see the reasons why. In terms of career statistics and Grand Slam wins, she still has some way to go before she can overhaul the likes of Steffi Graf, Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert. However, without a doubt, Serena Williams is the greatest female tennis player to walk the planet. Her record at this stage of her career is quite phenomenal....

To lose from such a strong position after the first three rounds would surely have such a damaging effect psychologically that it would take him some time to recover. I certainly felt this way. I thought...

When Sebastien Vettel crossed the line in sixth place at the last race of the season, sporting history was made. He had just won his third world title on the bounce, only the third driver in the history of the sport to do so and had become the youngest triple world champion in history. Having enjoyed the level of success that he has at such a young age, there is much talk of him breaking the long held...

When Rory McIlroy and Caroline Wozniacki first got together in July 2011 they were hailed as sport’s next golden couple, with a future full of success in front of them. After meeting at David Haye’s fight against Wladimir Klitschko in Germany and wasting no time in getting together, they have faced the challenge of keeping their respective sporting careers on the right track while maintaining...

Ever since the winter of 2009 when the other side of Tiger Woods was exposed, causing his marriage to Elin Nordegren to end, there have been endless discussions about the state of his game. After taking a four-month break from golf when he tried to save his failing marriage, Woods returned at the Masters and mounted a strong challenge for the title, eventually finishing in fourth place. However,...

2012 saw the most open year in recent memory in men’s tennis. Four different players won the big prizes, with each member of the so-called “Big Four” winning a slam apiece. Novak Djokovic retained his Australian Open title with two magnificent five-set performances to see off Andy Murray in the semifinals and conquer Rafael Nadal in one of the greatest matches ever played in the final. Nadal,...
