U.S. Open Prediction: Will Novak Djokovic Beat Stan Wawrinka For 13th Grand Slam…
Share this: It’s certainly not surprising that Novak Djokovic has a chance to win another Grand Slam, but his path to the U.S. Open final has been anything but standard. Two of Djokovic’s opponents in New York have retired early, and he also earned a walk-over victory. As a result, he’s only played 14 total sets in six matches, and none of those have come against Roger Federer (injured), Rafael Nadal or Andy Murray. But that “free ride” will end Sunday at Arthur Ashe Stadium when he faces old nemesis Stan Wawrinka in the men’s final. Wawrinka isn’t a “Big Four” member, but he’s made a strong case to extend it to five with his two Grand Slams since the start of the 2014 season. Tennis
Baz to miss Misano
Xavi Fores: “I'm very happy that Avintia Racing have given me this opportunity. I'm sure it's going to be a great experience. My intention is just to enjoy it as much as I can, leave pressure at home and not go out there with anything to prove, because it's a completely different bike to what I've ridden so far. We need to be aware that everything is going to be new to me and I just want to enjoy it! As with every rider, the chance to get on a MotoGP bike is gratifying, and I think this weekend I will have a great experience. It will be important to not make any mistakes and to not hurt myself because
Copa America 2016: Three Reasons Why USA Soccer Has No Chance Of Winning
Argentina is the oddsmakers’ favorite to win Copa America 2016 in the United States.

So can the United States upset the odds and win Coppola America 2016? We say a resounding “no.” Ever-optimistic United States head coach Jurgen Klinsmann targets players’ “growth” and a place in the semifinals as his team’s objectives at Copa America 2016. We’ll examine Team USA’s chances of hitting that mark later this week, but this piece is about its chances of winning Copa America 2016 on home soil.

Dustin Johnson 3-Putts, Blows Walk-Off Eagle Chance To Win U.S. Open (Video)
Poor, poor Dustin Johnson. The 30-year-old sat at 4 under for the weekend at the U.S. Open headed into his 18th and final hole, which 21-year-old Masters champion Jordan Spieth had just birdied to take a lead at 5 under. After a decent shot from the tee, Johnson set himself up wonderfully with a beautiful second shot that found a whole bunch of green. Johnson had a 12-foot eagle putt sitting between him and glory: If he sunk it, he’d have won the U.S. Open with a walk-off eagle, his first career major tournament victory. He was unable to sink the putt, however, but was left with a bunny for birdie to
