Novak Djokovic erased any possibility of a sixth straight French Open title for Rafael Nadal today at Court Philippe Chatrier in Paris, demolishing the Spanish southpaw in straight sets on in their quarterfinal match. The defeat pushed Nadal's career record at the Parisian complex to a tidy 70-2 -- a mark any other man or woman would...

PREVIEW Following Stan Wawrinka's unlikely victory at the Australian Open, normalcy resumed at the French Open with three of tennis' "Big Four" (Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray) making the semifinals in Paris. Should we look for more of the same in London? There is cause for concern however. Nadal hasn't won a...

PREVIEW For the women, Wimbledon may be more open now compared to the last few years. Usually, the easy bet would be to go with Serena Williams, she of the Wimbledon and 17 Grand Slam titles. But given her early losses in the previous two Slams, the world number one is no longer a sure bet. With Maria Sharapova back in form...

 I think this year's tournament will be remembered for the players who didn't win as much as for the ones who did. The top three seeded women (Serena Williams, Victoria Azarenka and Maria Sharapova) did not even make it as far as the semi-finals. Meanwhile the 2014 Australian Open will be the first time since the 2009 U.S. Open...

PREVIEW Novak Djokovic is the three-time defending champion at the Australian Open and if one has to choose a favorite for this year's tournament it would be him. And after observing the men's draw for the 2014 Australian Open one should feel even more comfortable picking Nole. The other top seeds in the Serbian's half of the...

PREVIEW Victoria Azarenka is the two-time defending Australian Open and is arguably the best player on the hard-court on tour. Yet, she (as well as the rest of the field) are big underdogs to Serena, who has not won this particular tournament since 2010 - which means that Serena should be coming to Melbourne motivated to get her...
