After carrying a one-stroke lead into the final round of the Players Championship, Na crumbled under the pressure. He bogeyed six of his first 13 holes (after bogeying just seven in the first three rounds) and finished the round with a four-over 76. He plummeted down the leaderboard...

For a random spring tournament, the 2012 Madrid Open provided some unexpectedly juicy storylines. With Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic getting bounced early, Roger Federer and Serena Williams playing like it’s 2005 and, of course, all the talk surrounding that mischievous blue clay, this week’s event was much more than your average French Open warmup.

By destroying top-ranked Victoria Azerenka at the Madrid Open, 30-year-old Serena Williams showed that she is far from finished. Formerly known as the most dangerous woman in tennis, Serena proved this weekend that she is still a force to be reckoned with.

After losing in the third round to Fernando Verdasco, Nadal made a simple declaration: either the blue court goes or he goes. The next day, Djokovic followed him to the loser’s circle after falling in straight sets to Janko...

Tiger Woods has been far from spectacular at The Players Championship, but it’s still too early to count out the legend. After posting a third-round 72, Tiger is currently at two-under for the tournament. He’s 10 strokes behind the leader—Kevin Na—and tied for 34th overall. Despite these discouraging facts, a Sunday surge from Tiger isn’t out of the question. After all,...

After dominating Janko Tipsarevic in the semi-finals, Roger Federer is ready to capture his third career Madrid Open title. Federer calmly destroyed the Serbian on Saturday, winning 6-2, 6-3. Now, he will move on to face Tomas Berdych in the finals. Although Berdych has caused him some problems in the past, I’m expecting Federer to cruise to the title. He’s no stranger to winning in Madrid,...

For more than a decade, Rule No. 1 of golf was simple: Never, ever count out Tiger Woods. Well, today I’m saying rules be damned and declaring something that would have caused the 1999-2010 versions of myself to punch me in the face: Tiger Woods has no shot of winning the Honda Classic. There, I said it. No shot. As in there’s a better chance of the leaders of Palestine and Israel holding...
