Just Williams: Get ready for latest sibling showdown

New Post has been published on https://latestnews2018.com/just-williams-get-ready-for-latest-sibling-showdown/

Just Williams: Get ready for latest sibling showdown

Serena (left) and Venus Williams are meeting early in the tournament because of their rankings. When they play today, it will be their 30th tour-level encounter.

New York: Get ready for the latest Grand Slam instalment of Williams v Williams. One big difference this time: The superstar siblings will be meeting in the third round at the US Open, their earliest showdown at a major tournament in 20 years.

Serena Williams set up the highly anticipated matchup at Flushing Meadows by hitting 13 aces and overwhelming 101st-ranked Carina Witthoeft of Germany 6-2, 6-2 in a little more than an hour in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Wednesday night. Hours earlier, across the way at Louis Armstrong Stadium, Venus Williams did her part with another straight-set victory, eliminating 40th-ranked Camila Giorgi of Italy 6-4, 7-5.

“Unfortunately and fortunately, we have to play each other. We make each other better. We bring out the best when we play each other. It’s what we do,” Serena said. “I think we’re used to it now.”

When they play Friday, it will be their 30th tour-level encounter — plus, of course, all those times when they traded shots from across the net as kids in California, then on practice courts all around the world. It’s also soonest the sisters have played each other at any Grand Slam since their very first tour match, all the way back at the 1998 Australian Open. Venus won that one. But since then, it’s been the younger Serena who’s grown dominant.

The reason this match comes so early is that their rankings are not what they’ve been in the past. Serena is No. 26, playing in only the seventh tournament since she was off the tour for more than a year while having a baby. Even though the US. Tennis Association bumped her seeding up to reflect her past success, it still placed her at No. 17. Venus, meanwhile is No. 16.

“It’s so young in the tournament,” Serena said. “We would have rather met later.”

She leads the series 17-12, including 10-5 at majors.

Both have been ranked No. 1. They have won a combined 30 Grand Slam singles trophies, 23 by Serena. They own eight US. Open singles championships, six by Serena.

They’ve played each other in the finals of all four Slams, including at the US. Open in 2001 (when Venus won) and 2002 (when Serena did).

“It’s incredible what they’ve done. I mean, amazing really. Obviously there’s been other siblings that have had fantastic careers in tennis, but none anywhere close to what they’ve managed to achieve,” said three-time major champion Andy Murray, whose first major since hip surgery ended with a four-set loss to No. 31 Fernando Verdasco. “I’d be surprised if anything like that ever happens again.”

Defending champion Rafael Nadal followed Serena into Ashe and wasn’t really troubled at all, other than when he received a warning for letting the 25-second serve clock expire — something he figured was really his opponent’s fault. Either way, Nadal shrugged off that third-set distraction and finished off a 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 victory over Canada’s Vasek Pospisil.

Two other past men’s champions won — Juan Martin del Potro, who beat Dennis Kudla of the US, and Stan Wawrinka — as did 2017 runner-up Kevin Anderson, and No. 11 seed John Isner.

Two-time major champion Garbine Muguruza built a big lead but gave it away and was stunned 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 by 202nd-ranked Czech qualifier Karolina Muchova in a match that ended after 1am on as Wednesday turned to Thursday.

Seeded women who advanced earlier on another day with the temperature topping 95 degrees (33 Celsius) included No. 7 Elina Svitolina, No. 8 Karolina Pliskova, No. 15 Elise Mertens, No. 19 Anastasija Sevastova and No. 23 Barbora Strycova, all in straight sets.

During her post-victory news conference, which came long before Serena set foot on court against Witthoeft, Venus clearly had little interest in entertaining questions about the possible all-in-the-family match.

“It’s early in the tournament, so both of us are going to be looking forward to continuing to play better,” Venus said. “Obviously, it’s definitely a tough draw.”

Later, when a reporter tried to steer the conversation back to Williams vs. Williams, Venus offered this admonishment about the topic: “You’re beating it up now.”

She was ever-so-slightly more forthcoming during her on-court interview, joking, “The last time we played, at the Australian, it was two against one,” a reference to the fact that Serena was pregnant when she beat Venus in the 2017 Australian Open final.

“At least this time,” Venus told the crowd, “it’ll be fair.”

Serena looked much more impressive Wednesday than her sister did, but the levels of competition were also different.

Of the 82 points that went Venus’ way, only 13 came via her own winners. Giorgi had 29 winners, but also 41 unforced errors and 28 forced errors.

Serena, meanwhile, put together a 30-10 edge in winners, then declared her serve much better than it’s been of late.

Soon enough, her thoughts were on her next match and a certain, rather familiar, foe.

“I never root against her, no matter what. So I think that’s the toughest part for me: When you always want someone to win, to have to beat them,” Serena said. “I know the same thing is for her.”

Australian Open 2019: Men's bracket, schedule, scores, and results

Can Roger Federer defend his title at the Australian Open? We have all the info you need to follow the tournament, including viewing and streaming info as well as results.

The Big Four aren’t quite done, but men’s tennis may be seeing a shift in the coming years. For now, going into the first Grand Slam of the year, the Australian Open, some of the usual suspects are favored to win it, but the field continues to get interesting as Roger Federer gets older and guys like Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray are derailed by injuries.

Murray’s injuries are particularly worrisome, as the player himself has suggested that this tournament could be his last, regardless of how badly he wants to make it to Wimbledon this year.

Nadal is playing as well, and says he’s at 100 percent, but he dropped out of a tournament just a few weeks ago. That means Federer, at 37 years old and a six-time winner in Australia, is considered the favorite.

He’s also the two-time defending champion after winning the tournament in 2017 and 2018. Novak Djokovic would be considered Federer’s top competition at this point, but the field contains a slew of young players who are hoping to make that next step, whether that be cracking into the top 20 and doing damage past the third round or guys inside the top 10 still searching for their first Grand Slam title.

Djokovic is coming off winning the last two Grand Slams, lifting the trophy at Wimbledon and the US Open in 2018. Alexander Zverev, the world No. 4, is still searching for his first real opportunity at doing damage in a slam, as success in the big four tournaments has eluded him. He did, however, earn the top prize at the ATP Finals in November.

Karen Khachanov and Daniil Medvedev are two of the young guns to watch, as both are making their way up the rankings and giving the top guys some trouble. Kevin Anders, Marin Cilic, Kei Nishikori, Grigor Dimitrov and many other familiar faces will also be in action in Australia.

Below is a full bracket, schedule, and results, which will be updated throughout the tournament.

Viewing information

Not much has changed in watching the Australian Open for those in the United States, though there is the one downside of some matches and courts that used to be free on WatchESPN are now locked behind the ESPN+ paywall. A seven-day free trial of ESPN+ can be found here. Television coverage will primarily be handled by ESPN and ESPN2, while there will be many free matches and courts streaming on WatchESPN and ESPN3.

Unless stated otherwise, times ascribed to dates in the evening which end in the morning are ending the following day.

Through the first three rounds, play will begin around 7 p.m. ET on one day and will end around 7 a.m. the following day. “Monday” at the Australian Open is Monday proper for those in Melbourne, but begins on Sunday evening for those in the United States, with play wrapping up on Monday morning. Did you manage to follow all of that?

NEW YORK | The Latest: Muguruza stunned by qualifier Muchova at Open

New Post has been published on https://is.gd/uZBtKD

NEW YORK | The Latest: Muguruza stunned by qualifier Muchova at Open

NEW YORK— The Latest on the U.S. Open tennis tournament (all times local): 1:10 a.m.

Two-time major champion Garbine Muguruza let a lead slip away and was stunned in the second round of the U.S. Open by 202nd-ranked Czech qualifier Karolina Muchova 3-6, 6-4, 6-4. The 12th-seeded Muguruza was up a set and a break in the second but faltered.

Muchova is playing in the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time.

Muguruza, in contrast, won titles at the French Open in 2015 and Wimbledon in 2016 and has been ranked No. 1.

“Somehow, I made it. I don’t know how,” Muchova told the Louis Armstrong Stadium crowd.

The match lasted nearly 2½ hours and ended a little past 1 a.m. on Thursday. ___ 11:40 p.m.

Defending champion Rafael Nadal’s only trace of a problem during his second-round victory at the U.S. Open was a warning for letting the 25-second serve clock expire.

And Nadal was convinced that even that wasn’t really his fault. Nadal won 46 of 55 first-serve points and wore down Vasek Pospisil 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Wednesday night.

The serve clocks are making their Grand Slam debut at Flushing Meadows, and folks have been curious to see whether that would have any effect on Nadal, who is known for taking his time between points. At 2-1 in the final set, he drew a warning from the chair umpire because the 25 seconds ran out. Nadal was convinced that the only reason that happened was that he paused when Pospisil briefly put a hand up to ask him to wait.

Either way, the 2-hour win was over soon thereafter. ___ 10:55 p.m.

American teenager Sofia Kenin moved into the U.S. Open’s third round for the second straight time, eliminating No. 30 seed Maria Sakkari of Greece 4-6, 6-1, 6-4.

The 19-year-old Kenin, who is ranked 65th, also beat Sakkari at Wimbledon.

A year ago, Kenin received a wild-card invitation and got to the third round before losing to 2006 champion Maria Sharapova. ___ 10:30 p.m.

Jack Sock’s rough year continued with a second-round loss as the No. 18 seed at the U.S. Open, beaten 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (3) by Nikoloz Basilashvili.

Sock, a 25-year-old American, ended a seven-match main-draw losing streak by winning in the first round.

But his loss to the 37th-ranked Basilashvili means Sock still has not won two consecutive matches all year.

Sock’s record for 2018 is 6-16. ___ 9:10 p.m.

Serena Williams set up a third-round showdown at the U.S. Open against her older sister by hitting 13 aces and overwhelming 101st-ranked Carina Witthoeft of Germany 6-2, 6-2 in a little more than an hour.

This Williams vs. Williams matchup will be the earliest they’ve faced each other at a Grand Slam tournament in 20 years.

Venus Williams advanced to the third round with a straight-set victory earlier Wednesday.

Serena leads Venus 17-12 overall and 15-10 at majors. ___ 8:40 p.m.

John Isner reached the U.S. Open’s third round for the seventh consecutive year, hitting 38 aces to come back and edge 42nd-ranked Nicolas Jarry of Chile 6-7 (7), 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (2), 6-4.

The 11th-seeded Isner is the highest-ranked American man in New York for the seventh time in a row, but he’s only once made it to the fourth round in that span.

He broke Jarry for the second and last time at 4-all in the fifth set, flicking a backhand lob winner to take that game.

After serving out the win, Isner walked over and slapped palms with front-row spectators. ___ 7:45 p.m.

Fresh off her first Grand Slam semifinal, No. 9 seed Julia Goerges made an early exit at the U.S. Open.

Goerges bowed out in the second round at Flushing Meadows, losing to 45th-ranked Ekaterina Makarova 7-6 (10), 6-3.

While their respective rankings make this seem to be a big upset, Makarova actually has had more success at hard-court major tournaments than Goerges, reaching semifinals at the 2014 U.S. Open and 2015 Australian Open.

Goerges had never been past the fourth round at any Grand Slam tournament until her run to the final four at Wimbledon last month. ___ 6:55 p.m.

Andy Murray’s return to the U.S. Open lasted just two rounds. The 2012 champion was eliminated by No. 31 seed Fernando Verdasco 7-5, 2-6, 6-4, 6-4. The Spaniard will face a second straight past champion at Flushing Meadows when he meets third-seeded Juan Martin del Potro in the third round.

Murray missed last year’s tournament because of a hip injury and didn’t consider himself a contender this year because of his lack of preparation.

Verdasco won for just the second time in 15 career meetings with Murray, who had multiple chances to even the final game of a 64-minute final set before the left-hander finished it. ___ 5:40 p.m.

Juan Martin del Potro moved on to what could be a third-round matchup of past U.S. Open champions by beating American Denis Kudla 6-3, 6-1, 7-6 (4).

The No. 3 seed from Argentina was the 2009 champion. He could next face Andy Murray, who won his first Grand Slam title in 2012 at Flushing Meadows.

Murray was playing No. 31 seed Fernando Verdasco in the second round. ___ 3:30 p.m.

Venus Williams has done her part to set up an all-Williams matchup at the U.S. Open. Now it’s her sister’s turn to make it happen.

The 16th-seeded Williams reached the third round at Flushing Meadows for the fifth year in a row, beating 40th-ranked Camila Giorgi of Italy 6-4, 7-5 despite producing fewer than half as many winners.

If Williams’ younger sister, Serena, can beat Carina Witthoeft in the second round on Wednesday night, the two siblings with a combined 30 Grand Slam titles will play each other Friday.

It would be the earliest Williams vs. Williams showdown at a Grand Slam tournament since their very first tour-level match, all the way back at the 1998 Australian Open.

Venus says: “I hope we get to play.”

Of the 82 points that went her way Wednesday, only 13 came via her own winners. Giorgi had 29 winners, but also 41 unforced errors and 28 forced errors. ___ 3 p.m.

Defending champion Sloane Stephens rallied to reach the third round of the U.S. Open with a 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 victory over Anhelina Kalinina.

Stephens set up a third-round matchup with Victoria Azarenka, the former No. 1 player who has twice been a U.S. Open finalist.

Stephens served an ace to finally put away the 2-hour, 46-minute match against Kalinina, a Ukrainian qualifier who was playing her first Grand Slam tournament. ___ 2:40 p.m.

Stan Wawrinka ran his U.S. Open winning streak to nine with a 7-6 (5), 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 victory over qualifier Ugo Humbert of France.

Wawrinka, the 2016 champion who missed the Grand Slam tournament last year because of two left knee surgeries, advances to face No. 25 seed Milos Raonic of Canada in the third round. Raonic swept past Gilles Simon of France 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. ___ 2:20 p.m.

Defending U.S. Open champion Sloane Stephens has forced a third set in her second-round match.

The No. 3 seed lost the first set 6-4 to qualifier Anhelina Kalinina of Ukraine but battled back to take the second set 7-5.

The winner faces two-time U.S. Open finalist Victoria Azarenka. ___ 2:05 p.m.

No. 15 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas has been eliminated in the second round of the U.S. Open, a surprisingly early exit after his strong hard-court season.

The 20-year-old Greek was beaten by Daniil Medvedev of Russia, 6-4, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.

Tsitsipas beat four top-10 opponents in Toronto — becoming the youngest player to do so at an event since the ATP World Tour began in 1990 — before losing to top-ranked Rafael Nadal in the final. He also reached the semifinals in Washington before a loss to No. 4 Alexander Zverev, and came into the U.S. Open as the highest-seeded debutant since Richard Gasquet was No. 13 in 2005.

But he had 64 unforced errors against just 27 winners in the match that lasted 2 hours, 48 minutes. ___ 12:45 p.m.

Victoria Azarenka easily reached the third round in her return to the U.S. Open, beating No. 25 seed Daria Gavrilova of Australia 6-1, 6-2. The former top-ranked player could meet defending champion Sloane Stephens in the third round.

Azarenka, a two-time U.S. Open finalist, is playing in the tournament for the first time since 2015 after giving birth to a son.

With a ranking too low for direct entry, she received a wild card into the tournament. She is unseeded at Flushing Meadows for the first time since 2007. ___ 12:05 p.m.

The U.S. Open says it regrets that a player was given a code violation for changing her shirt on the court during a match, clarifying its rules on when that is allowed.

Alize Cornet of France returned from a break in action during her match Tuesday with her shirt on backward. She took off the shirt and put it back on correctly while standing near the back of the court and was given a code violation by the chair umpire.

The penalty drew criticism on social media, with people — including Andy Murray’s mother, Judy — noting that men frequently change their shirts while sitting in their chairs during changeovers.

Tournament officials said in a statement Wednesday that all players can change their shirts when sitting in the player chair, adding that female players can also change their shirts in a private location near the court if it is available without being assessed a bathroom break. ___ 11:25 a.m. Play at the U.S. Open is beginning under an extreme heat policy and it will remain in effect until further notice.

The women’s tour has a heat rule that allows for breaks during singles matches because of the heat. The men’s tour does not, but the policy was extended to the men on Tuesday when temperatures soared into the mid-90s. They are expected to remain there Wednesday.

The WTA Tour rule permits a 10-minute break between the second and third sets if either player requests it. The men’s break would come between the third and fourth sets.

A statement from the U.S. Tennis Association says appropriate medical timeouts for heat-related illness also are allowed. ___ 11:05 a.m. Venus and Serena Williams can set up their earliest Grand Slam meeting in 20 years if both win second-round matches at the U.S. Open on Wednesday.

Venus has an afternoon match on another hot day in Flushing Meadows against Camila Giorgi. Serena, at No. 17 seeded one spot below her older sister, should face cooler conditions during a night match against Carina Witthoeft.

If both siblings win, their third-round matchup would be their earliest at a Grand Slam tournament since they played in the second round of the 1998 Australian Open in their very first meeting on tour.

Temperatures were expected to be in the mid-90s, as high as or even a little warmer than Tuesday, when six men retired from their matches.

Defending champions Rafael Nadal and Sloane Stephens also are in action, along with past champions Juan Martin del Potro and Andy Murray — who could meet in the third round.

Wimbledon 2017: Bracket, schedule and scores for men's draw

Can Roger Federer lift his eighth Wimbledon championship? We have coverage throughout the tournament.

Wimbledon, the third and arguably biggest Grand Slam on the tennis calendar, gets underway on Monday, and it has a full field of men with a shot at capturing the title. But there’s one man, Roger Federer, who is favored to take the tournament.

Federer has won Wimbledon seven times in his career, and he sat out the clay court season and the French Open to preserve himself for the grass courts of Wimbledon.

The results seem to be paying off, and Federer will enter the tournament as the heavy favorite even over top seed Andy Murray and other high seeds like Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, who won the French Open.

Murray and Djokovic have been struggling in recent tournaments, and Stan Wawrinka hasn’t looked good on the grass thus far. Nadal obviously won at Roland Garros, but he too isn’t as good as Federer on grass courts.

Coverage of all courts throughout the tournament will be available for viewing in the United States, and you won’t have to miss a match.

Below is the full bracket, television and live streaming information for watching Wimbledon in the U.S., and a full schedule/results, updated daily throughout the tournament. Wimbledon will run from Monday, July 3 through Sunday, July 16.

Bracket

Bracket courtesy of the official Wimbledon website.

Viewing information

As usual, ESPN will carry television coverage of Wimbledon in the United States. Coverage will exist primarily on the flagship ESPN network, with some coverage rolling over into ESPN2.

Online streaming of the entire Wimbledon Grand Slam will also be available, as usual, via WatchESPN and the ESPN App on various devices. All courts will be available for live streaming throughout the tournament, and you don’t have to miss a match.

Other streams can be had through services like PlayStation Vue and SlingTV, along with any others that carry ESPN in their packages.

Below is a list of days and which channels you can watch the action on, and below that is the full tournament schedule and results, updated daily.

NEW YORK | Serena, Venus set up Williams vs. Williams match at US Open

New Post has been published on https://is.gd/GlHI7w

NEW YORK | Serena, Venus set up Williams vs. Williams match at US Open

NEW YORK — Get ready for the latest Grand Slam installment of Williams vs. Williams. One big difference this time: The superstar siblings will be meeting in the third round at the U.S. Open, their earliest showdown at a major tournament in 20 years.

“I hope,” Venus said after her match, “we get to play.” Serena made sure of it.

They will play Friday, and it is going to be their 30th tour-level encounter — plus, of course, all those times when they traded shots from across the net as kids in California, then on practice courts all around the world. It’s also soonest the sisters have played each other at any Grand Slam since their very first tour match, all the way back at the 1998 Australian Open. Venus won that one. But since then, it’s been the younger Serena who’s grown dominant.

The reason this match comes so early is that their rankings are not what they’ve been in the past. Serena is No. 26, playing in only the seventh tournament since she was off the tour for more than a year while having a baby. Even though the U.S. Tennis Association bumped her seeding up to reflect her past success, it still placed her at No. 17. Venus, meanwhile is No. 16.

“It’s so young in the tournament,” Serena said. “We would have rather met later.”

She leads the series 17-12, including 10-5 at majors.

Both have been ranked No. 1. They have won a combined 30 Grand Slam singles trophies, 23 by Serena. They own eight U.S. Open singles championships, six by Serena.

They’ve played each other in the finals of all four Slams, including at the U.S. Open in 2001 (when Venus won) and 2002 (when Serena did).

Seeded women who advanced on another day with the temperature topping 95 degrees (33 Celsius) included No. 7 Elina Svitolina, No. 8 Karolina Pliskova, No. 15 Elise Mertens, No. 19 Anastasija Sevastova and No. 23 Barbora Strycova, all in straight sets. Past men’s champions Juan Martin del Potro, who beat Dennis Kudla of the U.S., and Stan Wawrinka won, as did 2017 runner-up Kevin Anderson, and No. 11 seed John Isner.

Rafael Nadal was in action later Wednesday.

“It’s early in the tournament, so both of us are going to be looking forward to continuing to play better,” Venus said. “Obviously, it’s definitely a tough draw.”

Later in her news conference, when a reporter tried to steer the conversation back to Williams vs. Williams, Venus offered this admonishment about the topic: “You’re beating it up now.”

“At least this time,” Venus told the crowd, “it’ll be fair.”

Serena looked much more impressive Wednesday than her sister did, but the levels of competition were also different.

Of the 82 points that went Venus’ way, only 13 came via her own winners. Giorgi had 29 winners, but also 41 unforced errors and 28 forced errors.

Serena, meanwhile, put together a 30-10 edge in winners. “Normally, I would say cheer for me,” she told spectators afterward.

“But whoever you’re feeling like — me or Venus — it’ll work.”
