The U.S. Open suffered because Rafael Nadal wasn’t a part of it—that much is a fact. There wasn’t as much excitement, or drama, or fun without him there. It was nice to see Andy Murray finally win his first grand slam—and who knows whether that would’ve happened if Nadal hadn’t been unable to go? But any time one of the sport’s top talents is out of commission...

For all of the talent that Brazil’s and Argentina’s national teams are stacked with, there were a few players who even managed to play out of their own leagues in Wednesday’s international friendly. Brazil took down Argentina 2-1 in the latest chapter in the epic rivalry between these two powerhouses, and in typical dramatic fashion, it came down to a last-second penalty kick. Here’s...

Earlier this month, for the first time in a long, long time, someone not named Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic won a major. But perhaps there’s a reason for it—beyond the emergence of Andy Murray. Perhaps the pace of these long tournaments—and the toll they take physically—has finally caught up to the game’s top stars, all at the same time. Roger Federer,...

Among the contenders for the final Grand Slam of the year, there are only a few who have been deemed as realistic contenders to win it all. But the ones who come out on top may not be the ones you’re expecting. It may seem as though some of the men will have easier roads to the semis and the finals because of the conspicuous absence of Rafael Nadal, but some of them will be in for a reality check. And...

Some of the stars weren’t quite as good in the second round as they were in the first, but they’re providing at least a smidgen of hope that the winner of this year’s PGA Championship will be someone you’ve heard of. While the likes of Rory McIlroy and Keegan Bradley dominated the first-round action at Kiawah Island, there are plenty of other stars who have lingered not too...

Contrary to popular belief—and to Ernie Els’ own commentary—the British Open champion will, in fact, take on the challenge of the RBC Canadian Open. What a relief. After finishing atop the leaderboard at Royal Lytham on Sunday, Els told reporters, “I was supposed to go to Canada, but I think I’m going to blow that thing off.” Not exactly the best way...

Rain has gotten in the way at Wimbledon yet again, resulting in more delays and more suspended matches everywhere except on Centre Court, where the retractable roof is coming back up. Early on Tuesday morning, several matches were halted in the middle of play, including that of fourth-seeded Andy Murray, who held a 7-5, 4-2 lead over Marin Cilic when the match was suspended. Fifth-seeded Jo-Wilfried...

When he won the Madrid Open a few weeks ago, Roger Federer looked OK. Then, when he lost to Novak Djokovic in the French Open semifinals and followed that up with a loss in the Gerry Weber Open finals to 34-year-old Tommy Haas, the outlook on the Swiss superstar wasn’t so good anymore. Suddenly, Federer doesn’t look lethal on grass—a surface on which he once dominated—and he...

The Gerry Weber Open was Roger Federer‘s opportunity to prove he has what it takes to win as Wimbledon looms just days away. Rafael Nadal had bowed out early, and the road was paved for a Federer victory. Instead, he suffered a shocking loss to Tommy Haas 7-6 (5), 6-4, and instead of silencing the critics, he only fed more fuel to their doubt-filled fire. It’s no secret that Federer needed...
