When it comes to tennis, we all want to hit the courts, swing some rackets and smash an ace down the center line. Being on the court and actually playing tennis is what makes tennis - well - tennis. But the time you put in outside of the court could make the time you spend […]
In the movie Anchorman, the reporter who gets a lame-o assignment comes on the air saying, “Panda watch.” Well, this is not near as lame nor does it sound as cool rolling off the tongue but - Masters Cup watch.

Nalbandian won in Madrid by coming from a set down (1-6, 6-3, 6-3) to […]
The Zurich Open concluded with Justine Henin, World No. 1, securing her ninth title of the season with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Tatiana Golovin.
“She’s absolutely the best,” said Golovin.

She’s […]
