Wimbledon 2012 Scores: Top Men’s and Women’s Finishers

Serena Williams brought her A-game when she needed it today. In her best performance of the tournament, Williams stumped Petra Kvitova in straight sets (6-3, 7-5). The win lands Williams in the semifinals where she’ll take on the winner of Tamira Paszek and No. 2 seeded Victoria Azarenka. Azarenka is heavily favored, and she has been dominant thus far in the tournament. A Williams-Azarenka semifinal... 

Tiger Woods Wins AT&T National: Tiger Must Carry Momentum into British Open

Tiger Woods captured the AT&T National by two strokes over Bo Van Pelt, but his celebration was restrained. Why? Because it’s not a major. Woods was poised, clutch and in control in his win in Bethesda, Maryland. But because we’re talking about Tiger, the “buts” won’t go away until he wins another major. (Click here to see the final leaderboard.) It is especially going... 

Memorial Tournament 2012: Tiger Woods Must Win at US Open to Cement Comeback

I’m not going to utter the phrase “he’s back,” but I’ll say that Tiger Woods‘ confidence has to be sky high after an impressive win at the Memorial. A win at the US Open would make me remove all restraint in my acknowledgement of his resurgence. How’s that for a realistic and level-headed assessment of the world’s most famous golfer? I may also be calling... 

French Open 2012 Schedule: Day 8 TV Coverage, Matches and Bracket Guide

Most expect Sloane Stephens to lose Sunday, myself included, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t rooting for her. Her match against sixth-seeded Samantha Stosur is the most intriguing match of Day 8 at the French Open.  Stephens represents one of two American women still alive in the tournament (Varvara Lepchenko is still alive after upsetting 2010 champ, Francesca Schiavone). The... 

Tiger Woods at The Players Championship: Most Disappointing Aspects of His Play

I won’t overreact to Tiger’s less-than-stellar performance at The Players Championship and say he’ll never win another major, blah, blah, blah. But I can’t ignore some disappointing aspects of his play this weekend. Tiger hasn’t exactly set the world on fire at TPC Sawgrass in his career, but I did expect him to have a little stronger showing. Here are the low lights:   Finish... 

Roger Federer: Winning French Open Would Be Fed’s Greatest Single Accomplishment

Roger Federer is one of the most accomplished players in tennis history, but if he captures the 2012 French Open, nothing he’s done previously would be more impressive. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t expect him to win at Roland Garros, but that is part of the reason why it would be such an amazing feat. Nobody expects him to win, and with good reason. We must put into perspective what... 

Roger Federer vs. Tomas Berdych: Fed’s Success Won’t Follow Him to French Open

Roger Federer outlasted a game Tomas Berdych today to capture the Madrid Open title, but he still won’t win the French Open. Before we move on to Roland Garros, Federer and most of the world’s top players will go to Rome for the Internazionali BNL d’Italia, but Madrid and Rome are tune-ups for the French Open. At this stage of Federer’s career, the smaller tournaments matter,... 

Players Championship 2012 Leaderboard: Rickie Fowler Is Only Man to Watch for

Rickie Fowler’s run at The Players Championship is the most compelling reason to watch the final round on Sunday. Without Tiger Woods and other big names in the hunt, the 23-year-old will be the feature attraction. It’s not just because of his vibrant golf duds; the kid is playing very well right now. Pretty Rickie tied for the best round of the tournament on Saturday with a 66 to finish... 

Players Championship 2012 Leaderboard: Kevin Na Will Blow Lead on Sunday

Kevin Na has the lead heading into Sunday, but the competition will be too much for him to hold off. Specifically, Rickie Fowler is primed to take another step towards becoming an elite golfer. Na has been very consistent with scores of 67, 69 and 68 through three days, and that is why he’s 12-under par, but Fowler’s play has been on the upswing. That upward trend reached its highest point... 

Players Championship 2012 Leaderboard: Rickie Fowler’s Huge Day Will Lead to Win

With Tiger Woods nowhere in sight, five other Americans are among the contenders at TPC Sawgrass. Rickie Fowler had a great third round. He shot an amazing six-under par to finish his day at nine-under par for the tournament through three rounds. His 66 on Saturday was tied for the best round any golfer has shot at the tournament this year. Woods struggled to an even par finish on Saturday, and he’s...
