Few athletes or teams have dominated an individual competition quite like Rafael Nadal dominates the French Open. He’s won eight of the last nine tournaments there, only dropping the 2009 final to Roger Federer. So why in the wide world of sports would I pick Novak Djokovic to beat Nadal at Roland Garros? For one thing, in my opinion, the only player capable of beating Nadal at the French Open...

To say Rafael Nadal has dominated the French Open in the past decade would be an epic understatement, like saying Napoleon had a modest empire or that the Boston Celtics were pretty good when Red Auerbach was the coach. Nadal has won eight of the last nine titles at Roland Garros, a stretch of dominance that is hard to fathom. The man is a master on clay, and he’ll head into this year’s...

Novak Djokovic got off to a rocky start in the final of the 2014 Italian Open, and Rafael Nadal looked set to triumph once again on the clay. It would hardly have been a surprising result—Nadal came into the final having won seven of the last nine titles in this tournament.

And of course, you won’t want to miss any of it. Fear not, for below you’ll...

Luckily for you, the United States women take on Canada this Thursday evening. Though it will be just a friendly, it’s never quite “just a friendly” when these two border rivals meet.

Seung-Yul Noh wasn’t amazing on Sunday at the Zurich Classic at TPC of Louisiana in Avondale, Louisiana, but he was good enough to hold off the field and pick up his maiden PGA victory. South Korea’s Noh finished at 19-under, which was good enough to give him a two-stroke victory over Andrew Svoboda and Robert Streb. Keegan Bradley began the day in second, but after...

Rory McIlroy nearly hit Adam Scott, standing at No. 5, with his hole shot on No. 4 on Friday. That same day, he somehow managed to hit a sprinkler head just outside the green on No. 13 and watched his shot carom wildly into the shrubbery. And on Saturday, he was outplayed by his marker. Suffice to say, it has been an odd Masters for McIlroy. McIlroy was the last player to play on Friday who made...

For any game played outdoors, the weather is always a factor. But few games are as precise as golf, and thus, few games can be as derailed or altered by Mother Nature as golf. Just ask any player who has ever grappled with the wind at St. Andrews. Luckily for participants at this year’s Masters, the conditions should be just about as favorable as possible. Here’s what the weather...

Let’s take a closer look at a few of the top contenders at this...
