This first men’s semifinal matchup isn’t what you would likely have drawn up, but it’s a very interesting pairing nonetheless between Stan Wawrinka and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

The 2015 renewal of the French Open has had no shortage of said surprises, like a 2014 finalist bounced early and a beleaguered superstar who still shines bright in the City of Light.

Are there any Americans left after the first round at the 2015 French Open? Yes, but they suffered some serious losses. The success of American tennis rests solely on the naturalization of foreign talent, but until that day comes, we’ll make due with who we have. It’s not all bad, what’s left anyway. The men’s hope of reaching Week 2 takes the form of John Isner, the big-serving...

When the French Open slides across the baseline, one thinks of the constants in life: death, taxes and Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros. That tide could be receding this year and that’s Parisian accordion music to one Roger Federer’s ears. Federer, the all-time leader in Grand Slams, gets a favorable draw for a possible deep run into Week 2 in the City of Light. In his mind, Nadal—recent...

Who wants a Scottish kilt repurposed into a blazer? These guys at Colonial Country Club. Remember that time when Adam Scott was the No. 1 player in the Official World Golf Ranking? It was a brief stint, but soon after ascending to that coveted spot, he won the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial and seemed primed for a sustained reign atop the rankings. Then Rory McIlroy happened, and Scott, though...

How would you like to be the tournament that has to follow up the finish at The Players Championship (May 7-10), where Rickie Fowler put the “saw” in Sawgrass. The Wells Fargo Championship has a formidable challenge ahead of itself, and with the World No. 1 and No. 3 players on the entry list, this renewal at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina (the 2017 venue for the PGA...

Outside of the majors, the WGC Cadillac Match Play is one of the more exciting golf tournaments on format alone. Add in a new revamped playing schedule, and the weekend for the Match Play could be as fun as watching Tiger Woods play big-game cat to Stephen Ames’ mouse. The new format is best explained by CBSSports.com’s Kyle Porter, who likens the first three days of the tournament, in...

Three of the world’s top 10 make the trip to New Orleans for a stab at the Zurich Classic. Jason Day, Justin Rose and Dustin Johnson will look to go low on a course that saw Billy Horschel shoot a record 20-under par in 2013. It was Horschel’s first win as a pro and was also Sueng-Yul Noh’s first win a year ago. Noh held off Keegan Bradley to earn that win, and now he’ll have...
