It should be unremarkable when ROGER FEDERER wins a major title. He has 20 now, so it has become quite routine. But nothing Federer does is unremarkable. He has defeated time like few other athletes. By winning the AUSTRALIAN OPEN Sunday he became the oldest to win a major since 1972. He's got three wins in the last five majors. It's fair to ask if he is BENJAMIN BUTTON or DORIAN GRAY in the way he's erased the aging curve. He can dismiss the importance of age in appreciating his accomplishments but that sort of diminishment doesn't give him the proper context. It's damn hard to win a major. CAROLINE WOZNIACKI knows that. She had played in 42 Grand Slam tournaments before winning her first major singles title. She had everything else on her resume. In individual sports there is a stain on careers that end without Grand Slam wins. Wozniacki had none before Saturday. An Aussie Open title doesn't make her career -- she had been No. 1 in the world for a long stint and had won 27 other singles titles -- but it does help avoid the "best to never win a major" title that no tennis player wants... The first women's ROYAL RUMBLE match was a success. A big win for an emerging wrestler, ASUKA. A big surprise from RONDA ROUSEY. Most important, a commitment to letting the women wrestle a match that only men had before -- in the last match on the card, no less. An entertaining match and validation for the WWE's decision to (finally) give the women's division the respect it deserves. Next step: give CHARLOTTE FLAIR, SASHA BANKS, or Asuka the main event at WRESTLEMANIA... What does MICHIGAN STATE do now? ESPN's PAULA LAVIGNE reported that the school's issues go way beyond employing LARRY NASSAR and whatever negligence or intentional choices kept him employed there. The men's basketball and football programs have their own history of ignoring sexual assault and violence against women. MSU athletic director MARK HOLLIS resigned but it's easier to push out an AD than super-successful coaches like MARK D'ANTONIO and, especially, TOM IZZO. This won't go away for MSU. Who will survive? Who deserves to survive?... BRIAN BOYLE stole the show at the NHL ALL-STAR GAME. He's fought leukemia since September. Hopefully his place in the game served as an inspiration to others battling cancer... Guide to darts.
