Why Roger Federer Will Reach Championship Match in 2014 US Open

When Roger Federer was in his prime, predicting him to make the finals of a Grand Slam event was a safer guess than almost anything in sports. He was an absolute machine and racked up more major titles (17) than any male player in the history of the sport. While he hasn’t won a Grand Slam since 2012 as age and a number of younger competitors caught up to him, he has tapped into his old form during... 

US Open Tennis 2014: Predictions for Top Stars After Rafael Nadal’s Withdrawal

The men’s side of the 2014 U.S. Open will be missing something important—the defending champion. Rafael Nadal withdrew from competition with a lingering wrist injury. It is certainly disappointing to fans who were hoping to once again see some of his magic from last year when he returned from a knee injury and won the title. Nadal won at Roland Garros earlier this year but has not played... 

Rafael Nadal Will Be Underdog at 2014 U.S. Open If Healthy Enough to Play

Rafael Nadal is an absolute force on the tennis court and the defending U.S. Open champion. In a normal scenario, he would certainly be among the favorites or perhaps the favorite heading into the 2014 version of the Grand Slam event. However, that’s just not the case with the Aug. 25 start of the U.S. Open less than two weeks away. For one, we aren’t even sure if Nadal will be healthy... 

PGA Championship Leaderboard 2014: Twitter Reacts to Day 2 Results and Standings

The entire PGA Tour is Rory McIlory’s playground, and the rest of the competitors are simply living in it. After turning in a five-under opening round Thursday, McIlroy seized the lead after the second round with a four-under 67 Friday.

British Open 2014: Key Storylines Heading into Championship Sunday

Perhaps Rory McIlroy will get lost on the way to Royal Liverpool Sunday before the final round of the 2014 British Open. That’s probably the only way another golfer is going to win this tournament. Of course, crazier things have happened during majors on the PGA Tour. McIlroy sits at an incredible 16-under par through three rounds, which is an entire six strokes clear of the rest of the field.... 

Novak Djokovic’s Wimbledon Title Was Most Important Win of Career

Novak Djokovic didn’t just pick up his second career Wimbledon championship and seventh Grand Slam title when he beat Roger Federer in five sets—he notched the most important victory of his illustrious tennis career.  The 6-7 (7), 6-4, 7-6 (4), 5-7, 6-4 marathon victory gave Djokovic the No. 1 spot in the ATP rankings, and his 102 weeks atop those ratings is good enough for eighth... 

Novak Djokovic Will Not Prevent Roger Federer from Winning 8th Wimbledon

Roger Federer will take the court Sunday at the All England Club in the Wimbledon final with history on his mind. A victory would clinch him a record eighth championship at the prestigious event and a flat-out ridiculous 18 Grand Slam singles titles in 25 men’s final appearances. All that stands in his way is arguably the best tennis player in the world and No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic. No pressure,... 

Petra Kvitova vs. Eugenie Bouchard: Kvitova Solidifies Wimbledon Legacy in Win

Petra Kvitova didn’t just win her second Wimbledon title Saturday—she completely dominated and secured her legacy at the All England Club in the process. Kvitova dismantled Eugenie Bouchard 6-3, 6-0, in a match that took less than a single hour to complete. It was the most one-sided final in more than 20 years, when Steffi Graf destroyed a young Monica Seles in 1992, 6-2, 6-1. Kvitova went... 

Tiger Woods Will Immediately Contend at British Open If He Returns

In all likelihood, Tiger Woods will be back on a golf course this year, which is music to the ears of golf fans everywhere. He may even be back by the British Open.  Tim Rosaforte of Golf Digest passes along the reason why that can be said with such confidence: Woods missed the Masters, The Players Championship and the U.S. Open as part of the fallout for the back surgery he received nearly... 

US Open Golf 2014 Leaderboard: Full Results, Key Storylines from Pinehurst

Someone forgot to give Martin Kaymer the memo that you aren’t supposed to absolutely tear apart the course at Pinehurst No. 2.  Kaymer made the daunting and infamous course look like a putt-putt course and blew away the rest of the field. He finished at nine under par for the tournament after shooting a one-under 69 Sunday and cleared his fellow competitors by eight entire strokes. There...
