Rafael Nadal: Can Nadal Become the Greatest Men’s Tennis Player in History?

Right now, the most accomplished player in the history of men’s tennis is Roger Federer, certainly when it comes to grand slams. With 16 grand slam titles, 23 finals, 23 consecutive semifinals or better, and 29 consecutive quarterfinals or better (and counting), it’s really hard to argue that point. He’s also won the career grand slam and is one of only three players to do that with... 

USA vs Colombia: What to Expect from Saturday’s World Cup Match

The USA continues their bid to win their first World Cup since 1999 on Saturday, when they take on Colombia at 11:30 am EST. If the Americans win and North Korea fails to beat Sweden, team USA will clinch a spot in the knockout stage. American goalie Hope Solo is looking to continue her rebirth from what happened in 2007. If she plays even reasonably well against Colombia, this should be a pretty easy... 

Rafael Nadal vs. Novak Djokovic: Tennis Wins If Djokovic Wins Wimbledon 2011

The finals are set. No. 1 Rafael Nadal vs. No 2. Novak Djokovic. Ideally, you can’t ask for better than a No. 1 vs. 2 final, although Nadal vs. Roger Federer would probably have a greater worldwide appeal. Federer is fading. He may not be done winning Grand Slams, but he is clearly on the back end of his prime. With that, Nadal appears to be well on his way to being a dominant player for years... 

Wimbledon 2011 Results: Can Sabine Lisicki Be a Future Wimbledon Force?

What kind of future does Sabine Lisicki have in women’s tennis? Yes, she did lose 6-4, 6-3 to No. 5 Maria Sharapova in her 2011 Wimbledon semifinal match, but does that mean she’ll never be a force at the All-England Club? Well, she’s already 21 years old and hasn’t won a grand slam yet. While 21 doesn’t sound like it’s too old, the fact that she’s this age... 

Wimbledon 2011 Results: Is Jo-Wilfried Tsonga Now a Fan-Favorite?

No. 12 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga certainly had a magical run at Wimbledon. Sure, it ended in a 7-6, 6-2, 6-7, 6-3 semifinal loss to No. 2 Novak Djokovic, but Tsonga seemed to enjoy every minute. As a No. 12 seed, he certainly isn’t unknown. Actually, this isn’t even his best grand slam run. In 2008, he lost the Australian Open final to Djokovic. But as we’ve seen in the past, you don’t... 

PGA Tour: Who Will Be the Next American to Win a Major Championship?

The last American to win a major was Phil Mickelson at the 2010 Masters. Actually, that’s true even if you are someone who calls the Players Championship “The Fifth Major,” as Mickelson’s 2007 triumph was the last time an American won that tournament.  But back to the official majors, five have passed since Mickelson won his fourth Green Jacket. With Tiger Woods’... 

Sergio Garcia and the Biggest Time Wasters/Attention Seekers in Golf

What does it mean to be a time waster in a sport? Well, the simple answer is that it’s eerily similar to being overrated, or over hyped. The only difference is that when someone is overrated or over hyped, that is usually figured out pretty quickly. Being a time waster is another step.  To be a time waster, you need to find a way to keep the attention on you no matter how good or how poorly... 

Dustin Johnson and the 15 Golfers Who Best Represent the Future of American Golf

Recently, I said that the era of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson being the golf standards of professional golf is beyond us. Woods will be 36 at the end of the year and Mickelson turns 41 in June. Truthfully, it’s not just them. Other than Tiger and Phil, Jim Furyk, Zach Johnson, Lucas Glover, David Duval, Ben Curtis, Todd Hamilton, Stewart Cink, David Toms, Rich Beem and Shaun Micheel are the... 

Payne Stewart and the 25 Best Dressed Golfers of All Time

Building a Track and Field dynasty is one of the hardest things to do for a coach. With only 12 scholarships to give out he has to choose wisely on who gets those scholarships and not lean to heavily on one event group. The Ducks men have made mistakes in that area, leaning too heavily on distance runners and not building a deep Sprint Corps. But things are starting to change. Head Coach Vin Lanana... 

Tiger Woods Should Be Careful Before Coming Back to the Golf Course

Previously, I said that including the Players Championship, Tiger Woods should play at least three times before the US Open in June. I make no apologies for saying that. Mostly because I assumed that his knee would be in good enough condition to compete. Obviously, after withdrawing after a front-nine 42, that is not the case. Right now, Tiger’s knee is the most important part of his golf game....
