Caroline Wozniacki’s Early Exit at 2014 French Open Not All About Rory McIlroy

This we can all agree on: It’s been a rough week for Caroline Wozniacki. Last Wednesday, golfer Rory McIlroy announced that he had ended his engagement with the Danish tennis star only two days after their wedding invitations went out. Apparently, he just wasn’t ready for marriage. On Sunday, McIlroy won the European PGA Championship. This Tuesday, Wozniacki lost in the first round of the... 

French Open 2014 Draw: Complete Seedings and Bracket Analysis

The draw has been set. The clay has been combed. All of the top players are in Paris. It’s time for the French Open to begin. This year, the tournament feels a bit more up in the air than usual. Rafael Nadal still had the best clay season out of anyone, but it wasn’t up to his lofty standards. The Spaniard only won one title, and lost in two straight quarterfinals to lower-ranked countrymen.... 

Why 11-Year-Old Lucy Li Qualifying for the 2014 US Open Is Good for Golf

They say age is just a number, right? Well, it looks like Lucy Li, an 11-year-old golfer from California, would agree. On Monday, Li became the youngest person ever to qualify for the U.S. Women’s Open when she won the sectional qualifier at Half Moon Bay. On June 19 at Pinehurst, she will tee off at the U.S. Open, where she will be competing against women more than three times her... 

Who’s the Real 2014 French Open Favorite: Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic?

For the first time in nearly a decade, the men’s trophy at the French Open feels up for grabs. Sure, according to the oddsmakers—as can be seen on Oddschecker.com—Rafael Nadal is still the favorite. Why wouldn’t he be? He is the No. 1 player in the world and has won the French Open eight times in the last nine years. His record in Paris is a laughably dominant 59-1. This... 

Italian Open 2014: Maria Sharapova’s Clay Vulnerability Resurfaces Before French

Maria Sharapova has looked invincible on clay this year. However, after her surprise loss to Ana Ivanovic in the third round of the Italian Open in Rome, the rest of the WTA now has a blueprint on how to take down the four-time major champion on the dirt.  Prior to Rome, the 2012 French Open winner was undefeated on clay in 2014. Sharapova had won clay-court titles in Stuttgart and Madrid, taking... 

What’s Holding Jordan Spieth Back from Winning a Marquee Tournament?

Once again, Jordan Spieth was in the final group of a big tournament on a Sunday. Once again, he came up short of being crowned a champion. It happened at the Masters last month, when the 20-year-old Spieth was tied with Bubba Watson at the start of the day, and he ended up shooting a 72 and finishing tied for second, three strokes behind Watson. And it happened again on Sunday at TPC Sawgrass. Spieth... 

Questions Still Surround Rafael Nadal’s Clay-Court Form After Madrid Open Win

Few things in sports over the past decade have been as certain as Rafael Nadal winning on clay. But so far in 2014, it’s not such a sure thing. Nadal did walk away with the trophy at the Mutua Madrid Masters tournament on Sunday, but it was far from a convincing victory. The world No. 1 was down a set and a break to 24-year-old Kei Nishikori before Nishikori‘s back injury flared up. Nadal... 

Carefree Martin Kaymer Enjoying Stellar Run at 2014 Players Championship

While Adam Scott, Henrik Stenson, Bubba Watson and Matt Kuchar are all trying to become golf’s new No. 1 at the 2014 Players Championship, it’s a former No. 1 that’s stealing the show. Martin Kaymer, who was No. 1 for eight weeks back in 2011, has set course records on the way to a 12-under-par score after two days.  If you’re surprised to see Kaymer at the top of the leaderboard,... 

Is There Any Hope for Andy Murray on Clay After Disappointing 2014 Madrid Open?

Andy Murray and clay have never been a match made in heaven. The Brit’s typically great defense is sloppy and ineffective on the clay, and his footwork on the surface leaves a lot to be desired. The two-time major champion is only 56-35 in his career on the dirt, and he’s never made a clay-court final in his entire career. There have been moments, such as his 2011 Rome Masters semifinal... 

Complete Guide to the 2014 Players Championship

It’s only May, but it’s already time for golf’s so-called fifth major, the Players Championship. Of course, there is no such thing as a fifth major, but the Players Championship certainly makes a great case. With a world-class field, record-setting prize money and the infamous “Island Green,” this tournament is always majorly entertaining. This year, Bubba Watson comes...
