Lead analyst Brandel Chamblee of the Golf Channel is not impressed by Tiger Woods or his Sean Foley-tuned swing.

Novak Djokovic is one of the world's best tennis players of our time. But what sets him apart is his quirky personality traits that make him one of the rarest and most interesting athletes. Here are some strange and entertaining habits he has, which you might not have known of:
Rafael Nadal beat Novak Djokovic in a beautifully played 6-2, 3-6, 6-4,
