Djokovic Defeats Murray to Set Up a Familiar Final

2012-01-27T19:27:00.000-08:00

Djokovic’s 6-3, 3-6, 6-7 (4-7), 6-1, 7-5 victory was the second-longest match of the tournament at 4 hours 50 minutes, when Djokovic broke Murray’s spirit early and ended up dominating in straight sets.

Djokovic dominated only one set this time: the fourth, which lasted just 25 minutes as Djokovic took a quick two-break, 3-0 lead. He carried that momentum into the fifth set, taking a 5-2 lead and serving for the match at 5-3, But he was broken at love by Murray, which even brought a big smile to Lendl, who watched much of the proceedings with his chin on his hand.

Murray fought back to 5-5 before Djokovic scrapped his way into command by fighting off three break points in the 11th game. The second break point provided the pièce de résistance, as Djokovic broke up a long rally with a bold forehand down the line that Murray could not handle.

Djokovic would be bold again on the third deuce, surprising Murray with an aggressive second serve at 108 miles per hour that Murray returned long. Djokovic then finished off the game with a forehand volley winner to go up by 6-5.

Finishing the match required him to break Murray for the 11th time; he pushed forward again at 15-40 by hitting a forehand volley that Murray managed to reach but not retrieve.

Djokovic was soon stretched out like a man who had just finished a marathon, which, in effect, he was. When he arose, he and Murray embraced at the net rather than simply shake hands.

Caroline Wozniacki takes 3 sets to reach quarterfinals

2011-09-06T06:47:00.001-07:00

Caroline Wozniacki, the top-seeded woman at the U.S. Open, last night was like deja vu.

After losing the first set to No. 15 Svetlana Kuznetsova in their fourth-round match and trailing 4-1 in the second, she rallied to win, 6-7 (6), 7-5, 6-1 to advance to the quarterfinals, the exact same scenario that unfolded in Flushing two years ago.

In the same round in 2009, Wozniacki lost the first set to Kuznetsova, 6-2, and was down 4-1 in the second before winning, 2-6, 7-6, 7-6. That was fresh in her mind as she made her comeback last night.

Garrett Richards activated and moved to Angels bullpen

2011-09-06T00:35:00.001-07:00

Garrett Richards, who made two starts in August before suffering a right groin strain, was activated off the disabled list Monday and moved to the bullpen, where the Angels believe the hard-throwing right-hander could have more impact than he would in the rotation.

With Fernando Rodney struggling to find the strike zone and fellow veteran Hisanori Takahashi unable to find much consistency, the list of relievers Manager Mike Scioscia trusts in the late innings of games in which the Angels have narrow leads has been reduced to three: Jordan Walden, Scott Downs and Bobby Cassevah.

Andy Murray beats Robin Haase

2011-09-03T00:02:00.001-07:00

Fourth seed Murray played so poorly for two hours that an upset seemed likely.

But the Briton held on and edged through a dramatic final set after letting a 4-0 lead disappear.

Andy Murray had predicted that Haase would come out firing and the Dutchman confirmed that on the very first point with a blistering forehand winner.

Haase deservedly got the first break at 3-3 and was completely untroubled on serve until the time came for him to close out the set, when he tightened up and slipped to 0-40 before firing a forehand long.

At last, Murray looked to have gained the upper hand as he moved 4-1 clear in the tie-break but a desperate passage of play handed Haase five points in a row, and the world number 41 converted his second set point.

Nineteen unforced errors told the story of Murray's first set and things got a whole lot worse as he dropped serve at the start of the second, before failing to convert from 15-40 in the next game.

Britain's Andy Murray kept his US Open hopes alive as he recovered from two sets down to beat Dutchman Robin Haase in the second round.

Rubby De La Rosa SUrgery

Rubby De La Rosa was living his dream. Reared in poverty by his grandmother in the Dominican Republic, he was pitching in the major leagues. He looked like a star in the making, armed with a 100-mph fastball and a quiet confidence.
Now, De La Rosa said he fears everything could be taken away from him. The 22-year-old rookie right-hander will undergo Tommy John surgery to reconstruct a partially torn ligament in his elbow.
"I have to make it back," De La Rosa said Tuesday.
Trainer Stan Conte said De La Rosa could be sidelined anywhere from 10 to 16 months.
"With everything that we've been through this year, this is probably as tough as any one of them because it does dramatically affect the off-season for the next year," General Manager Ned Colletti said.
Until the Dodgers learned of the results of the MRI exam De La Rosa underwent on Monday, they figured they had accounted for four of the five spots in their rotation. Clayton Kershaw, Chad Billingsley, Ted Lilly and De La Rosa
