Novak Djokovic just staked an indisputable claim to the title of the best player in tennis, which Roger Federer had wrestled away with a resurgent second half of 2012. Djoker had already retaken his No. 1 ranking prior to the ATP World Tour Finals, but he and Federer were so close that he took the ranking due to Federer skipping the previous event. In other words, his new claim to the...

At 13-under through three rounds, Furyk is the event co-leader with Davis Love III. The front-running pair fired identical 4-under 66s on Saturday, which leaves them two shots ahead of their closest competitors. This is exactly...
