It was a disappointing end to a lackluster ATP World Tour Finals on Sunday, as Roger Federer was forced to withdraw with a back injury, thus making Novak Djokovic the winner by a walkover.

Is the Lackluster 2014 ATP Finals an Indication of Life After the Big 4 Era?

The ATP World Tour Finals have been creating a buzz this week, but unfortunately, it’s been for all of the wrong reasons.

The United States Ryder Cup team didn’t fare well on the course at Gleneagles the week, getting blown out 16.5-11.5 by a talented European squad, but things were even worse in the press.

The 2014 Ryder Cup is now in the books, and once again, it was a victory for Team Europe.
