No one will ever say it publicly, but the best thing that happened to Serena Williams at Wimbledon this year was getting sick prior to a doubles matchup alongside her sister Venus on Monday. The Williams duo was prepared to take on Kristina Barrios and Stefanie Voegele, but things never really got started because Serena came out of the locker room staggering and unable to execute even a simple serve. Even...

It’s funny to look at the trajectory of this year’s Wimbledon event. The first week started in typical fashion, with the seeded players taking care of business and little drama. Then the foundation cracks started to show, starting with Serena Williams‘ loss in the third round. Now, as we are immersed in the second week of action from the All England Club, the...

It took time for the surprises to come, but the first weekend at this year’s Wimbledon has provided enough upsets to satisfy fans who want to see a changing of the guard.

Tiger Woods didn’t have a triumphant return to the golf course at the 2014 Quicken Loans National event, but it was far from the worst thing that could have happened to the 14-time major winner. Everyone knew that Tiger came back too early, that he was only playing at Congressional because his foundation was a partner with the event. He even acknowledged it in a rare candid moment with...

As we near the end of Wimbledon’s first week, all that we can take away from the results so far is how predictable most of the event has been. There have been some notable upsets, but mostly chalk has advanced. Li Na, the No. 2 seed on the ladies’ side, is the highest-ranked player to fall so far. She’s the only top-five player on either bracket that went home before Saturday....

Tiger Woods‘ return to the golf course is over almost as soon as it began after missing the cut with a four-over par 75 in the second round (plus-seven overall) at the 2014 Quicken Loans National event, missing the cut. There was some optimism for Tiger heading into the second round after he finished Thursday with three birdies on the last six holes. It wasn’t a flawless round, by any means,...

For the first time during this Wimbledon, the drama was ratcheted up to 10 thanks to who was on the courts, an injury scare and a marathon match featuring one of the biggest stars in the history of women’s tennis. Basically, Day 5 at the All England Club provided enough headlines that would make the back page of the New York Post green with envy. Novak Djokovic survived a shoulder...

As the days go by, the action at Wimbledon heats up. There hasn‘t been a signature upset through four days at the All England Club, but a number of top players have received scares from inferior competition. Now, with more ranked players going up against each other in the third round, upsets should become more frequent. There is also the very real possibility that chalk will hold until...

When Tiger Woods announced his PGA Tour return, one of the things he made sure to note was how much rust there would be after nearly four months off. Tiger’s first round at the 2014 Quicken Loans National confirmed that, as he posted a three-over-par 74. His day started on the back nine with back-to-back bogeys but ended on a positive note with three birdies on the front nine, including two straight...
