For the first time in quite some time, Rory McIlroy is in the hunt for a major entering the weekend. He shot a three-over 75 on an incredibly windy day at The Ocean Course in Kiawah Island, S.C. at the PGA Championship. That puts him at two-under for the tournament, a mere two strokes behind Vijay Singh, Carl Pettersson and Tiger Woods. A day after sinking five birdies in a bogey-free Round 1, McIlory...

The last few months have confirmed to the tennis world that Novak Djokovic is, in fact, a human being. After dropping his second-straight Grand Slam event to the aging Roger Federer at Wimbledon in the semis last week, it’s become clear that Djokovic has lost the intense focus and desire to be the best player in the world. In 2011, Djokovic won three of the four Grand Slams and pulled...

Roger Federer is still capable of winning a Grand Slam title, but evidence is beginning to mount that the 2010 Australian Open may be his last ever triumph on the sports grandest stage. After losing to Novak Djokovic yet again, this time at the French Open, he fell to unranked Tommy Haas 7-6, 6-4 in the Gerry Weber Open finals. Federer hadn’t lost to Haas in almost a decade, and had previously...

How would you like to be Robin Soderling? The Swede defeated Rafael Nadal in the fourth round of the 2009 French Open in rather routine fashion 6-2, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6. It was the only loss Nadal has ever suffered at Roland Garros, and after defeating Novak Djokovic to capture his seventh career French Open title Monday, he now sports an unheard of 52-1 mark in the tournament. Combine that with a 75-1 mark...

Half of the men’s and women’s final four at Roland Garros is set as the first 10 days of the 2012 French Open are now in the books. No. 1 seeded Novak Djokovic was able to survive a mid-match collapse to advance past No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-1, 5-7, 5-7, 7-6, 6-1. He doesn’t look sharp, is lacking confidence and is ripe for the upset against No. 3 Roger Federer, who cleared No....

It was a rather routine Day 6 at Roland Garros. No. 1 seeded Novak Djokovic advanced in straight sets over Nicolas Devilder (6-1, 6-2, 6-2), Roger Federer needed an extra set to down Nicolas Mahut (6-3, 4-6, 6-2, 7-5) and No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (7-5, 6-4, 6-4) cruised past Fabio Fognini. On the women’s side the big story was 19-year-old American Sloane Stephens. With a US Olympic team spot...

The first round is in the books and the Americans already have their collective tail between their legs. First it was Andy Roddick, then on Tuesday it was Serena Williams, who fell to unranked Virginie Razzano 4-6,7-6, 6-3. Coming into the tournament ranked No. 5 in the world, Serena’s shocking first-round exit is a reminder just how badly Americans struggle on the clay surface at Rolland Garros. With...

Novak Djokovic may have lost to Rafael Nadal 7-5, 6-3 in the finals at the Rome Masters on Monday, but he will still be the No. 1 seed entering Rolland Garros. Why? Because he is the owner of the last three Grand Slams dating back to Wimbledon, and all of the wins have come against Nadal. The Djoker has been very calm and collected, while Rafa has turned into a hothead of sorts on the court. That all...

The heart of the Grand Slam season is upon us, and all signs point to tremendous summer for Rafael Nadal. The Spanish star won the Rome Masters at the Foro Italico on Monday over nemesis Novak Djokovic 7-5, 6-3 in a match that featured a complete performance from Rafa. His serve was crisp, his return game was spectacular and he seemed very mentally sharp. Nadal forced Djokovic into multiple errors...

There are a whopping seven golfers winning or one stroke behind after two rounds of play at the HP Byron Nelson at TPC Four Seasons, and it just so happens that six of them are from the United States. Jason Dufner (Cleveland, OH) is the sole leader in the clubhouse after shooting a four-under 66 to put him at seven-under for the tournament. After bogeying two of the first three holes, he rebounded...
