As our kids lay in their beds, my wife, Catie, and I sat at our kitchen table one evening across from my parents under a pale light. It was May 2014. They had made the trip to our home in Kalamazoo, Mich., to see their grandchildren, but their visit was about to take a turn. They looked like they knew something was up: Their eyes darted back and forth between Catie and me. In a tiny crevice of my brain, hidden in a dark place, I was terrified that there was something very wrong with me.

Peter Wright of Scotland earned his spot in this gallery more so for his hairdo than his dart throwing, which in itself doesn't look that shabby.

A quick run through the mail while hailing the U.K. and Belgium on their Davis Cup heroics: Lots of crazy opinions in this write-up. Serena losing a Grand Slam semifinal is in NO WAY the greatest upset. Let’s not go crazy on the hype here. She was not entitled to the trophy.

The U.S. men’s national team led on two occasions but imploded once again in the second half, falling victim to a Nicklas Bendtner hat trick in a 3-2 loss against Denmark in Aarhus on Wednesday.

It was a deserved win for Denmark, which controlled possession for most of the game.
