While the player faces and animations are often quite good, the surrounding judges, ballboys, and crown are muted at best and statues at worst. Load times are painfully slow. The crowd noise is OK, reacting fairly well to the action most of the time,...

But then, for every Pele, there are 100 other athletes, some of them among the greatest, who slip into quiet oblivion, fading imperceptibly. Do you remember when John McEnroe retired? Do you recall when Gundappa Viswanath called it a day? Then again,...

Sock captivated many fans on the tournament's opening night, when he showed off his whip-like forehand and pure athleticism in the doubles exhibition featuring John McEnroe. People didn't know much about Kudla, who was born in the Ukraine and relocated...

Nadal is probably who you are thinking of right now. That's understandable. He leads the lefties in a worldwide movement of advantageously different players. There are a few other lefties in the game, such as Fernando Verdasco, Michael Llodra, Feliciano...

The crowd rose in a standing ovation. He took off his shirt between sets. The crowd hooted and whistled and asked for more. Not so bad, for a 53-year-old man. "There's nobody like John McEnroe," said Jim Blythe, a fan. Which is too bad, isn't it? We...

Havlat using twitter. This was almost as honorable as former Bolts goalie Dan Ellis and his "financial situation." Humble Henrik rarely gives himself the credit he deserves after the year he is having, but instead, uses Twitter to talk about his New...

Chase history, you can’t argue with his success or his method. He’s the working-man’s athlete and his no-apologies, I’m gonna-do-it-my-way approach has made him a guaranteed Hall of Famer like so many players that made the Steelers franchise legendary. ...

Both teams define themselves by their opposition to the other. It can, on occasion, spill over into repellent sectarianism, but the great rivalries — be it Ali and Frazier, Prost and Senna or Nadal and Federer — are what enable sport to transcend the...

He’s the working-man’s athlete and his no-apologies, I’m gonna-do-it-my-way approach has made him a guaranteed Hall of Famer like so many players that made the Steelers franchise legendary. Like the iconic American tennis star John McEnroe, NASCAR’s...

Borg would wake up in the middle of the night to the sound of his racket strings breaking. Since Borg, like many other stars in the 1970s virtually skipped the Australian Open, he never really qualified to win the Grand Slam. But the biggest question is...

Why isn’t there a likeness of such stars of the tennis world like Caroline Wozniacki, Martin Del Potro, Kim Clijsters, Li Na, Marcos Baghdatis, Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf, or more exciting players, one will never know. The in-game commentary by John...

McEnroe is no longer playing for titles, he's still involved in the game -- much of it mentoring young Americans. For tennis legend John McEnroe, tonight's exhibition doubles match at the Regions Morgan Keegan Classic is a number of things: a chance to...

This is a tournament that dates back to 1889, over various Bay Area locations, and the list of back-to-back winners includes Don Budge, Jack Kramer, Tony Trabert, Barry MacKay, Stan Smith, John McEnroe and Pete Sampras. Smith was honored at HP Pavilion...

Bourdain took Ripert to task for allowing the loathesome likes of Dick Cheney and The Situation into his restaurant (the celebrated Le Bernadin, in New York City), but banning John McEnroe. The bad-cop/worse-cop routine fit perfectly with Bourdain’s...

They won the Australian and U.S. Opens that year. But he also reached No. 18 in singles in 1995, with one title. In his first Grand Slam year in 1988, he reached the fourth round at the U.S. Open and shocked John McEnroe. In addition, he also earned...

In the late 1970s and 1980s, two brash, talented left-handers -- Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe -- stepped into the void created by the departure of Stan Smith. In the 1990s, Jim Courier, Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi dominated the sport like Connors...
