Just when you think you have all the answers, Novak Djokovic changes the question. You might have thought the Djoker was dead after he lost the first set, 6-2. Or perhaps you believed his time in the 2013 US Open was near a close after he lost the third set, 6-3. Instead, Djokovic pulled through by winning the next two sets, and setting up a dream final against Rafael Nadal, after the Spaniard dispatched...

Anything less than four points would be a problem for Jose Manuel de la Torre. One of his key players throughout...

Don’t expect the United States’ success against Costa Rica on Friday night to be tethered to the health of Jozy Altidore’s hamstring. There was a bit of a worry from American supporters when the 23-year-old missed out on Sunderland’s 3-1 loss to Crystal Palace last weekend (h/t Brian Sciaretta of Yanks Abroad). However, Sports Illustrated‘s Grant Wahl reported Altidore...

How soon until the roof is on Arthur Ashe Stadium? That’s the question many tennis fans were asking after a long rain delay at the 2013 U.S. Open. The fourth round in the women’s singles draw was set to conclude sometime Monday afternoon, but that didn’t happen after Mother Nature interrupted.

Roger Federer made quick work of Grega Zemlja in the first round of the 2013 U.S. Open, winning 6-3, 6-2, 7-5. Rain forced this match to move from Monday night to Tuesday afternoon, as Beyond the Baseline pointed out on Twitter: Despite the fact that the 32-year-old is having one of the worst seasons of his career, he came into this match as the clear favorite. If you needed any evidence of that,...

Could Rafael Nadal have looked any better in his opening match of the 2013 US Open? In a word, no. Well, to be fair, he could have mirrored Dave Chappelle’s And-1 mixtape and jumped the net to hit a shot from his opponent’s side of the court. In all probability, Ryan Harrison would have been less upset about that than he was when Nadal chased down an overhead from Harrison to hit a forehand...

Mexico picked up a nice 4-1 friendly win against Ivory Coast on Wednesday night. For an El Tri side struggling to pick up positive results, this match helps Jose Manuel de la Torre breathe a little easier. He was helped out by Ivory Coast defender Arthur Boka, who gave his team a mountain to climb with his own goal in the ninth minute. Although it was an own goal, Mexico deserve a lot of credit for...

Football, as they say, is a game of two halves. It’s one of the most tired cliches you could possibly hear about the sport, as if any match would ever not be a game of two halves. Occasionally, there is that one match where that same tired cliche couldn’t be any more accurate. By the time the first half was over in the United States’ friendly against Bosnia-Herzegovina, US supporters...
