WTA Backspin by Todd Spiker (Free subscription) | yesterday
It's at this point that Backspin's "Decade's Best" countdown of the final five of the Top 25 players of the 2000's gets sticky... at least as far as the odd placing of the #3 and #4 players is concerned. For all intents and purposes, Player #4 should probably be ranked #3. She won more titles than #3 did during the decade. She claimed more than twice as many slam titles, in fact. If not for...

An exclusive deal between the ECB and Sky in 2005, later renewed until 2013 for £300m, led to claims that cricket's governing body had broken the spirit of a "gentleman's agreement" with the then culture secretary, Chris Smith. ECB chairman Giles Clarke has been insistent that, with...

Andre Agassi whines so elegantly in his new autobiography, "Open," he can consider himself an honorary Blahg member, free to post here at any time. He whines about Brooke Shields and Pete Sampras and his father. He also whines about sportswriters, but that's OK because I've whined right back at him over the years, complaining about his at-times crass behavior. There are a couple of things...

World tennis No1 Serena Williams could be banned from a major championship this week following her outrageous behaviour at the US Open. Williams is threatened by the heaviest punishment since Jeff Tarango was banned from returning to Wimbledon in 1996 after accusing French umpire Bruno Rebeuh of being corrupt during the Championships the previous summer and refusing to play on.
