Federer vs. Djokovic: Keys to Fed Knocking Nole out of French Open

Roger Federer will knock Novak Djokovic from the French Open in the semifinals for the second consecutive year if he can focus on and execute three key areas of play.  Neither players enter this match playing at their best. Djokovic has needed two straight five-set thrillers to advance to this point, and Federer needed five sets in his last match.  Still, you expect these two champions to... 

French Open 2012 Results: Novak Djokovic’s Struggles Will Keep Him from Title

Novak Djokovic will not win his fourth straight Grand Slam title. He has advanced to the semifinals of the French Open, but it has been a struggle, and his game is not at a point where he can win this title.  In order to beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Djokovic had to rally to win in five sets for the second straight match—6-1, 5-7, 5-7, 7-6 (8/6), 6-1. Djokovic had to fight off four match... 

Brazil vs. Mexico: Neymar Must Listen to Pele to Achieve Greatness

Occasionally, football legend Pele will say something about the sport he used to dominate that offers some candid and honest insight. Following Brazil’s 2-0 defeat to Mexico this past weekend, Pele shared some helpful insight with the press, and Neymar should take notice.  Last time Pele made news talking about Neymar, he was busy saying the 20-year-old Brazilian was better than Lionel Messi,... 

Is Memorial Victory the Kickstart Tiger Woods Needs to Win U.S. Open?

Staring at an impossible shot while standing on the green-side rough of the 16th hole at the Memorial on Sunday, Tiger Woods found his mojo. He drilled his chip and the gallery instantly went bananas—letting out a roar that should have the rest of the PGA terrified as we quickly approach the U.S. Open. Tiger was in the rough and staring at a slope in front of him that broke down as the fringe... 

Memorial Tournament 2012: Final Leaderboard for Tiger Woods and Top Golfers

For the second time in the last four Memorials, Tiger Woods came back from four strokes on the final day to capture the victory.  Woods shot a five-under 67 on Sunday to end the tournament at nine-under, which was two shots better than Rory Sabbatini and Andres Romero.

Brazil vs Mexico: Selecao Will Continue North American Dominance

Brazil is going to take down Mexico in a high-scoring friendly at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas on Sunday. The Selecao have been rolling lately, and they have always dominated the North American squads.  Brazil is 18-6-5 all time against teams from North America, so it is no surprise that they are finding success on this trip to the U.S. On Wednesday, they took down the Americans 4-1 at FedEx Field... 

Rafael Nadal Should Be Considered Favorite at French Open After Title in Rome

Rafael Nadal is going to take the 2012 French Open title. He is healthy and at the top of his game. When these two things coincide, he cannot be beaten on clay (at least red clay).  Nadal drove this point home on Monday when he beat Novak Djokovic 7-5, 6-3 in the finals at the Foro Italico. This was not just another title for Nadal; it was a statement.  Djokovic, the ATP’s No.... 

Roger Federer: Loss to Novak Djokovic Proves Fed Won’t Win French Open

Roger Federer has been playing great, but he has no shot at winning the 2012 French Open. That much became clear when world No. 1 Novak Djokovic easily dispatched him 6-2, 7-6 in the semifinals of the Masters 1000 in Rome. Federer was terrible in the first set of this match. His serve was not nearly as deadly as it has been. He was broken twice, and was down a set before he even realized it.  In... 

HP Byron Nelson 2012: Phil Mickelson and More Favorites to Win Tourney

There are three clear-cut favorites at the 2012 HP Byron Nelson. Phil Mickelson is certainly one of them. He has won this tournament twice before, and this will be the first time he has participated in five years.  It is not surprising that he has skipped this event the past five years. This has never been a favorite stop for the world’s best golfers. Coming just one week after the prestigious...
