Waltiea Rolle on the rebound By BRENT STUBBS Senior Sports Reporter bstubbs@tribunemedia.net

W

altiea Rolle has been the pioneer, breaking the barrier as the first Bahamian female basketball player to play in the Women’s National Basketball Association. But although Rolle’s sting was shortlived with the Seattle Storm in 2014, she’s hoping that she will eventually work her way back into the league where she can either team up or play against Grand Bahamian Jonquel Jones, who is having a sensational season with the Connecticut Sun. When she left the WNBA, she has posted an average of 2.7 points per game with 3.2 rebounds per game in a total of six games played. She attempted to make another comeback, but was cut the day before the new season got underway in 2015. “Right now, I’m trying to get back overseas,” said Rolle, who returned home in May after playing last season in Bulgaria. “Me and my agent are trying right now to get a deal somewhere in Turkey where the contract is a lot better than where I was before.” In the meantime, Rolle said she decided not to reach out to any WNBA teams because she wanted to make sure that her body was in the best physical condition to take on the vigorous routine of playing at the highest standard in the sport. “I could have been doing now, but with two young children to take care of right now, I have to devote my time with them and working out with my brother, Walter Rolle, and the teams he plays with. “I just have to work on my speed. I need to get a lot faster,” Rolle said. “My post game wasn’t the best, but I hope that between October and November, I will be in shape to go overseas to play again.”

of us can play together or against each other. I am just glad that I was able to pave the way.” Although she’s trying to work her way back into the WNBA, the 6-6 Rolle, who will celebrate her 27th birthday on September 11, said she will be prepared to go along with the flow.

AS a Bahamian who has experienced the devastation of hurricanes before, Olympic triple jump bronze medallist Frank Rutherford said he has been able to cope with the catastrophe that they are now dealing with in the state of Texas from Tropical Storm Harvey over the weekend. Rutherford, one of the many Bahamians living in the fourth largest state in America, said it’s something that he has gotten used to. “You’re coping with it, but it’s an unprecedented event,” Rutherford told The Tribune. “It’s more of a flooding episode than the media originally let it be known. The media in the United States, even though they documented it, didn’t properly tell the people about the aftermath of Harvey with the rain that has made it so incredible. “Now I see why Noah had to build the ark. We really need one now.” Although an order for a voluntary evacuation has been issued for Fort Bend County in Richmond where he resides with his wife Milessa and children, Jazmyn and Alexis, Rutherford said the water has risen to

WALTIEA ROLLE in action for University of North Carolina in January, 2012. (AP) In the meantime, Rolle said she’s been watching the WNBA and Jones, the Grand Bahamian native, who has been in the conversation as one of the most improved players in the league this year. Jones, a 6-foot, 6-inch forwardcentre for the playoff-bound Sun, is averaging 15.9 points, a leagueleading 11.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.5 block shots, while playing

about 28.5 minutes per game, in her second season. She also came up with her first dunk on a break away one-hander with about 22 seconds left during the Verizon WNBA All-Star game for the East team that eventually lost to the west. “I am happy for her. She’s really doing her thing,” Rolle said of Jones. “It would be good if the two

In his first game last weekend, the Chargers scored a 27-6 win over Howard in the season’s home opener. Roberts played basketball locally and during his first year at CCS, but coaches saw his size and potential for the gridiron. Chargers Coach Mark Mariakis has experimented with Roberts on both the defensive and offensive sides of the line of scrimmage as he learns more about the game. “It’s tough for that big body to stay low,” Mariakis said to the FTP. “You have to understand leverage and how to get into people’s hips. But from where he was in May when he touched a football helmet for the first time, he’s come a long way.” In the classroom, Roberts boasts a 3.37 grade-point average. “With three years in the weight room, the kid could be a monster,” Mariakis said. “One of the most exciting things we get to see as coaches in this game is when a young kid develops. I know one thing: he’s not going to be limited by his stature.”

Keano making a name for himself on the gridiron By RENALDO DORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net A NEWCOMER to American football, one Bahamian high school student is garnering media attention for his size and natural ability to adapt quickly to the game. Keano Roberts of the Chattanooga Christian Chargers was featured in the Free Time New Press out of Chattanooga, Tennessee for the potential he can bring to the programme. Roberts, a 6’5” 280-pound sophomore, received the opportunity at the school through an exchange programme for international students and played football for the first time. “I’ve always watched football on TV. Actually, when I came here I started getting into it. I watched it a lot more closely, just being a student of the game,” he told Kelley Smiddie. “This is one of the most encouraging teams I’ve ever been a part of. They encourage me and have made me better each and every day.”

US OPEN

By RENALDO DORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net THE Acadia Axemen, and the strong Bahamian roster on its 2017 roster hope to rebound quickly from a lopsided opening week loss in Atlantic University Sport football. The Axemen suffered a 64-23 loss to the Mount Allison Mounties on the road last weekend in Sackville, Nova Scotia. The Axemen include junior wide receiver Eugene McMinns, junior offensive linemen Shelton Williams, and sophomore defensive back Arrien McDonald. McMinns picked up where he left off in exhibition play and continues to establish himself as one of the leading receivers on the team in his return to the programme. In the team’s only preseason game he had two receptions for 85 yards and two touchdowns. In the sea-

son opener against Mount Allison, McMinns finished tied for the team lead with five receptions for 62 yards and one touchdown His afternoon was highlighted when he caught a 24 yard touchdown pass from quarterback Cody Cluett to cap a four play 90 yard drive. The score brought the Axemen’s deficit to 21-10 with 12:16 left to play in the first half. Three of his receptions in the game were for 10 yards or more. Acadia struck first with a 26yard field goal for the game’s first score, but it would be their only lead of the game. Mount Allison scored two touchdowns before the end of the quarter and took a 14-3 lead into the second. The also scored the first touchdown of the second quarter before Acadia answered with McMinns’ score. Mount Allison would go on to outscore Acadia by 16 in the quarter and took a 35-16 lead into the half. The Mounties won the third

quarter 14-7 and tacked on another another touchdown in the fourth for the game’s final margin. Williams saw time as a reserve while McDonald did not make an appearance. The Axemen will search for their first win of the season on September 2 when they face Bishop’s Gaiters in their first regular season game since joining the AUS last winter. “We’re excited to get another season of Acadia Football underway! If we stay healthy and continue to improve throughout the season we will put ourselves in position for good things to happen. With a strong returning group and some talented rookies we feel like we will be an exciting team to watch in 2017,” said Axemen coach Jeff Cummins. All of the Bahamian players on the Axemen roster spent two years

DAVIS SIGNS TO BUDAPEST IN HUNGARIAN BASKETBALL LEAGUE By RENALDO DORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net THE latest stop on the pro basketball circuit for Bennet Davis will feature his return to a familiar stop and his second stint in Hungary. Davis has signed to MAFC Budapest of the Hungarian Basketball League, the highest level league of basketball in the country. The league comprises 14 teams, the top eight teams qualify for the playoffs. Teams at the bottom of the league play in a contrasting bracket and are relegated to a lower tier. MAFC has been an active member of the Hungarian Basketball League since 1934 and has participated continuously in all leagues since then. As a result is the third most successful club in the Hungarian league with seven national championships, 23 silver medals and 10 bronze medals. The 33-year-old veteran forward most recently played for a pair of French clubs. His latest stop was as a member of SAP Vaucluse in the French NM1 league. In 17 games for the team, he averaged 11.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game last season. Earlier in the season, he also played for Saint Chamond in French Pro B league where in 11 games he had 4.1 points and 2.6 rebounds per game. He was selected to Eurobasket.com’s AllFrench NM1 Honourable Mention. In the season prior, his first season in France, Davis helped his Union Basket

The trio hopes to propel the Axemen to a bowl game after they narrowly missed an appearance in the Subway Loney Bowl in 2014, the season before they were recruited to join the programme. Acadia is a member of Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) and Atlantic University Sport (AUS). They hold more conference and national championships than any other university in Atlantic Canada and has the highest number of Academic All-Canadians for primarily undergraduate universities in the country. In their history, the Axemen have appeared in four Vanier Cup national championships, winning two of those in 1979 and in 1981.

Davis spent parts of the previous season with three clubs, Kaposvari KK of the Hungarian NBIA (19 games), KK Zadar of the Croatian A-1 Liga (4 games), and GreenTops Netanya of the Israeli Premier League (11 games). For the year he averaged 9.7 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. He had his most productive stint with Kaposvari where he averaged 12.8 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. In the 2012-13 season, Davis

“I know what I have to do in order to get back there,” she admitted. “I’m not going to rush anything. I just want to make sure that I am in the best condition to play at that level again because when I go back, I want to make an impact.” The former CR Walker volleyball player, who was recruited in grade 11 by Olympic bronze medallist Frank Rutherford to head to Houston to finish school, went on to star for the North Carolina Tar Heels from 2009-2012, establishing herself as one of the nation’s top shot blockers. While in college, she suffered a setback when she had her first daughter, Carlisa Rolle, now five. After she was released by Seattle, she had her second daughter, Darielle Key, now 1. “I don’t have any regrets about

WALTIEA ROLLE having the children. There are a lot of players who wish they have the opportunity,” she said. “I noticed that some of them are stopping now to have one. “But they are a blessing to me.

His most notable D-League achievement came when he was named to the NBA D-League’s Select team which competed against some of the league’s best rookies and young talent at the 2010 Las Vegas Summer League.

I know what I believed in and everybody has a choice in life to make. “I’m the type of person that speaks my mind, so everybody knew where my stance was. I have my own mind and I wasn’t going to let anybody change my mind.” It’s been a struggle for Rolle to get to the professional ranks that depicted the collegiate career that she experienced. But Rolle said she’s not going to give up on her dream. “Everything happens for a reason,” she insisted. “I may not have had the type of career that I anticipated, but I’m not going to give up.

blocks per game, he began his professional career with Maccabi Ironi Ramat Gan in Israel where he averaged 7.3 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. He was drafted by the Flash in 2008 and in his initial season with the Flash, Davis started just 14 games and averaged 6.5 points and 3.5 rebounds. In his sophomore campaign, he doubled productivity in both areas with averages of 13.7 points and 7.7 rebounds while shooting 41 per cent from the field. I know I can still play this game and I’m going to prove that I can do it. “I am just waiting on the right opportunity for me to go back overseas and once I do, I will make the most out of it. I want to play in the WNBA again, but I won’t rush it. When the time comes, me and my agent will reach out to a team.” This summer, Rolle opted not to participate on the women’s national basketball team that travelled to St Thomas, US Virgin Islands for the Women’s Centrobasket Championships. She said there was some conflict that she and her agent were not able to iron out with the Bahamas Basketball Federation in reference to her insurance. But she’s not ruling out the possibility of playing for the country in the near future. Right now, her focus is getting herself ready to get back playing at the professional level overseas in Europe, once the WNBA season is over in the United States.

NFC East, ‘toughest division in the NFL’ THE PRESEASON BREAKDOWN CONTINUES WE continue this week with our NFL preseason division-by-division breakdown in the NFC EAST, the toughest division in the NFL. DALLAS COWBOYS Training camp report dates: rookies (July 19) and veterans (July 22). Location: Marriott Residence Inn in Oxnard, California. HOTTEST POSITION BATTLE IN CAMP WR Cole Beasley vs Ryan Switzer The development of Switzer’s role as a rookie receiver has been interesting to watch this offseason. He plays a similar position to Beasley, and in owner Jerry Jones’ mind, that could mean one of two things. The first: With, as ESPN.com noted QB Dak Prescott clearly favoured the veteran Beasley by targeting him a team-high 98 times last season, having two Beasleys is better than having one. The second: Switzer could end up being an evolved version of Beasley, similar to Julian Edelman being compared to Wes Welker. The Cowboys official site noted, Switzer is already pumping out routes “effortlessly” at a near “perfect” rate, and is a lock for return duties on special teams. Opposing defences can choose their poison, expect to see both Beasley and Switzer on the field at the sand time, giving defences fits. BIGGEST OFFSEASON ADDITION First round pick DE Taco Charlton Jerry Jones’ ballyhooed search for a “War Daddy” pass rusher this offseason

ended with the selection of the Michigan defensive end in the first round. Charlton has been known for some daily non-padded battles against All Pro left tackle Tyron Smith. Jerry Jones, always a subscriber to the iron sharpens iron theory, is likely hoping Charlton gets a graduate-level education in how to beat back some of the game’s best pass blockers. BIGGEST Camp Question Mark Do the Cowboys evolve? Dallas was able to shove its running game down the throats of opponents last year. And despite’s Ezekiel Elliott’s 6 game suspension (for now) the Cowboys will absolutely have the capability to put up similar numbers. There has been talk about Ezekiel Elliott being more involved in the passing game. I mentioned Switzer above. The biggest question facing the Cowboys coaching staff is: What makes them hard to stop now that everyone has the requisite tape on Prescott and Elliott to make the climb harder? I have my theories why the ‘Boys will be dynamic, look for it in the Tribune’s NFL Supplement. NEW YORK GIANTS Training camp report date: rookies and veterans (July 27).

Giants will likely open the job up to D.J. Fluker, Bobby Hart and rookie Adam Bisnowaty in camp and let the trio fight it out for a starting gig next to guard John Jerry. BIGGEST OFFSEASON ADDITION WR Brandon Marshall. Marshall is essentially replacing Victor Cruz as the team’s No. 2 wideout. He gives the Giants’ attack a far different dimension than it’s had in years past, though he does not fit the typical mold of a receiver who has excelled in the Mike McCarthy-style offense before. Marshall has posited himself not only as a receiving threat, but a mentor to the team’s young receiving duo of Odell Beckham Jr. and Sterling Shepard. BIGGEST Camp Question Mark - How will rookie Evan Engram fit into the offence? Engram has been compared to players all over

SNAGGED: AP SOURCES SAY CAVALIERS REVIEWING IRVING-THOMAS TRADE By TOM WITHERS Associated Press CLEVELAND (AP) — Just when it appeared the Cavaliers’ chaotic summer had calmed, there’s a flareup. That blockbuster deal between Cleveland and Boston is stuck. The Cavaliers have some concerns about guard Isaiah Thomas’ health and are doing a “deep and thorough” review of the deal that brought him over from the Celtics, two people with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Saturday. On Tuesday, the Cavaliers rocked the NBA by honouring All-Star guard Kyrie Irving’s trade request and dealing him to the Celtics — one of their biggest rivals — for Thomas and a lucrative package that included an unprotected 2018 first-round draft pick. The two people said the trade has not been completed and the Cavs are continuing to do a medical evaluation on Thomas, who injured his right hip last season and had to drop out of the Eastern Conference finals against Cleveland. They spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team is not publicly discussing its plans. After Irving demanded to be traded in July, the Cavaliers entertained numerous offers before striking a deal with Boston. In exchange for Irving, the Celtics agreed to send Thomas, forward Jae Crowder, centre Ante Zizic and the first-round pick they acquired from the Brooklyn Nets to Cleveland. ESPN reported Friday night that the Cavaliers are “considering possible ramifications” after Thomas took his physical. According to the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement, a trade can be voided if a player fails his physical. The Cavaliers and Celt-

THIS file photo shows Cleveland Cavaliers’ Kyrie Irving, right, as he looks to drive against Boston Celtics’ Isaiah Thomas during the first half of a game in Cleveland. (AP) ics have until Wednesday to finalise the trade, pending the completion of physicals. It’s common practice for teams to perform comprehensive medical exams on players with prior medical issues, and the Cavs were well aware of Thomas’ history. If Cleveland isn’t satisfied with its findings on Thomas, the club could scrap the trade. That seems unlikely, however, because the threetime defending conference champions were determined to deal Irving before training camp, and the Cavaliers coveted a high draft pick they can use to acquire another star next season or select a top-tier talent in the draft. The Cavs could also request the Celtics alter the trade by giving them another player or pick. This is all new ground for general manager Koby Altman, who has only been on the job full-time since midJuly. He was promoted after former GM David Griffin left the team not long after Cleveland’s loss to Golden State in the Finals. The 34-year-old Altman has inherited a talented team, but also one that has had a tumultuous few months and could potentially lose superstar LeBron James next summer if the game’s best all-around player decides to opt out of his contract and hit the

free-agent market. James left Cleveland in 2010 to play in Miami, where he won two titles. In the short term, Altman’s main concern is completing the deal for Thomas, who has blossomed into one of the league’s premiere playmakers in the past few seasons. The 28-year-old, who endeared himself to fans in Boston and across the country by playing in the postseason following his sister’s death, has been rehabbing the hip he initially hurt in March. Thomas aggravated it in the second round against Washington and finally limped off the floor in Game 2 of the conference finals, which Cleveland won in five games. Thomas consulted with specialists before it was decided he did not need surgery. The Cavs were well aware of Thomas’ condition before the trade and were prepared to have their doctors examine him — as they would for any trade. As is usual, the Cavaliers and Celtics conducted a conference call with the league office on Tuesday night before announcing a trade that ratcheted up what has been a dramatic offseason around the league with major free-agent signings, monster contracts and trades. And it’s not over.

the spectrum, which makes his role in training camp all the more interesting. The Giants essentially run an 11 personnel (1 RB, 1 TE, 3 WR) on nearly every play, which means the tight end must be a stellar blocker in order to sell the possibility of a run. Blocking isn’t one of Engram’s strong suits coming out of college. This is one of the reasons the club acquired Rhett Ellison in free agency, Engram’s fluidity in protection drills could be the key to this summer. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES Training camp report dates: rookies (July 23) and veterans (July 26). Location: NovaCare Training Complex in Philadelphia. HOTTEST POSITION BATTLE IN CAMP WR Nelson Agholor, a 2015 first-round selection by Chip Kelly, has been underwhelming at best during his first two years in

the NFL. He’s received the standard offseason praise from head coach Doug Pederson, but at some point, the Eagles are going to either see tangible progress or cut the USC product loose. Pederson signed Torrey Smith and Alshon Jeffery this offseason. BIGGEST OFFSEASON ADDITION CB Rasul Douglas. Douglas was an interesting third-round pick with size -- 6-foot-2, 210 pounds -- that jumps off the page. Because second-rounder Sidney Jones might not play this year after a March Achilles injury, Douglas will likely get a few more opportunities to flash during training camp. BIGGEST Camp Question Mark No matter what we’re discussing when it comes to the Philadelphia Eagles, we’re ultimately talking about Wentz. The secondyear quarterback faces sky-high expectations this season in a division that is opening up defensively (only the Giants return a potential top-five defense in 2017). Wentz grabbed this team like a veteran early on last year. We’ll see quite early how his relationships with Jeffery and Smith are coming along. WASHINGTON REDSKINS Training camp report date: rookies and veterans (July 26). Location: Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training Center in Richmond, Virginia. Most important position battle: Jonathan Allen vs. Ziggy Hood. Perhaps it’s not technically a battle, but the Redskins would love to see Allen float to the top of their depth chart. Gutted by free agency, Washington was

pleased to find Allen sitting toward the back end of the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Head coach Jay Gruden said “never in a million years did we think he would be there,” but now they’d like the rookie defensive lineman to sprint out ahead of veteran competition like Hood quickly. BIGGEST OFFSEASON ADDITION Is it fair to call Doctson a newcomer? The team’s first-round pick last year was loaded with promise, but he appeared in just two games, catching a pair of passes for 66 yards. Gruden seems optimistic, but, is grooming him for a very specific role at the Z more consistent with a true No. 1 wideout. That may be a stretch right away. BIGGEST Camp Question Mark Does Terrelle Pryor fold in elsewhere on offence? Pryor established himself as a true wideout last season in Cleveland, but he also added a second dynamic to the Browns’ offense as a wildcat quarterback. The Redskins probably don’t want to take Kirk Cousins off the field much, but they do want to maximise Pryor’s athleticism and potential after losing two very good wideouts to free agency in Pierre Garconand DeSean Jackson.

JONES HR HELPS SURGING ORIOLES BEAT MARINERS 7-6 By DAVID GINSBURG Associated Press BALTIMORE (AP) — Adam Jones hit a milestone home run, Welington Castillo had three hits and two RBIs and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Seattle Mariners 7-6 last night for their fifth straight victory. Chris Davis doubled in the tiebreaking run in the seventh inning for the resurgent Orioles, who climbed over .500 (66-65) for the first time since June 11. Baltimore jumped past Seattle (66-66) to within 1 ½ games of idle Minnesota for the final AL wild-card spot. Jones’ solo home run in the fifth inning gave him 25 for an Orioles-record seventh consecutive season. He shared the mark of six with Cal Ripken Jr. Ben Gamel homered and had a career-high five RBIs in Seattle’s third straight defeat. With the score tied at 6, Trey Mancini led off the Baltimore seventh with a single off Emilio Pagan (13) and Davis followed with a liner into the right-field corner. Donnie Hart (2-0) pitched the seventh, Darren O’Day worked out of a jam in the eighth and Zach Britton got three outs for his 12th save — the first since his run of converting 60 in a row ended last week. Seattle trailed 6-4 in the sixth before Chris Tillman issued successive one-out

walks and Gamels smacked a two-run single off Mychal Givens. Tillman gave up six runs, three hits and four walks — all of which turned into runs. A 16-game winner last year, Tillman is winless in 16 starts since May 7. Mariners starter Marco Gonzales allowed five runs and eight hits in 3 1/3 innings. He left with the bases loaded in the fourth, but Christian Bergman kept Seattle within 5-4 by retiring Manny Machado and Jonathan Schoop on popups. Jones connected off Bergman in the fifth for a two-run cushion. HOT GLOVE Orioles SS Tim Beckham is known more for his bat than his glove, but he made three exceptional plays in the field. He opened the game with a solid pickup, snagged a short-hop grounder in the third and hit the dirt to start a 6-4-3 double play in the seventh. ROSTER MOVES Mariners: Bergman had his contract selected from Triple-A Tacoma and RHP Dan Altavilla was optioned to the Rainiers. It’s Bergman’s third stint with Seattle this season. Orioles: Hart was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk, and RHP Mike Wright was optioned to the Tides.

the Phillies ahead 2-1. That was enough for Nola (10-9), who rebounded from two straight subpar outings by allowing one run and five hits with six strikeouts and no walks. Braves infielder Brandon Phillips had two hits to reach 1,999 in his career. Atlanta has dropped 12 of 14 games to the Phillies this season and all eight in Philadelphia. Nola’s only blemish was Phillips’ RBI single in the sixth. Phillips held his bat in the air after the hit, perhaps thinking he had reached the milestone. Phillips, who extended his hitting streak to 13 games with a fourth-inning single, had a chance to reach 2,000 but grounded out in the eighth. Nola also got some help from his de-

fense, as Williams robbed Freddie Freeman of a hit with a diving catch in right field in the sixth, and Maikel Franco ranged far to his right at third to backhand Tyler Flowers’ ground and threw him out at first from well into foul territory. After Hoskins’ double in the sixth, Franco gave the Phillies a two-run lead with a single to center. And Rupp led off the seventh with his 14th homer of the season. Rookie Lucas Sims (2-4), making his sixth career start, allowed four runs and eight hits with seven strikeouts and one walk in 6 1/3 innings. Hoskins also singled in the eighth and is batting .309 with 11 homers and 25 RBIs in 19 games since his call-up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley August 10.

Sharapova edges No. 2 Halep at US Open in Grand Slam return By HOWARD FENDRICH Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — So much about Maria Sharapova was the same as it ever was during her first Grand Slam match since a 15-month doping suspension: the shot-punctuating shrieks, the aggressive baseline style, the terrific returning, the sometimesshaky serving. Another familiar sight: The five-time major champion gutted out a victory. Sharapova recovered after faltering midway through the match and emerged to beat No. 2-seeded Simona Halep 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 at the US Open last night to reach the second round. “This girl has a lot of grit and she’s not going anywhere,” Sharapova told the crowd in an on-court interview. After leading by a set and 4-1 in the second, Sharapova showed some fatigue and rust, dropping five games in a row. But in the third, Sharapova regained control by going ahead 3-0, using her power to keep two-time French Open runner-up Halep under pressure. Sharapova had not played at a Grand Slam tournament since January 2016, when she tested positive for the newly banned heart drug meldonium during the Australian Open. It was as if every one of Sharapova’s winners — and she compiled 60, 45 more than Halep — was her way of declaring, “I’m back!” When a Halep shot sailed long to end the match after more than 2½ hours, Sharapova dropped to her knees on court, then covered her face as her eyes welled with tears. “I just thought that was another day, another opportunity, another match,” Sharapova said. “But this was so much more. I tried not to think about it.” The 30-year-old Russian was allowed back on the tour this April, but she

(AP Photo/Seth Wenig) was denied a wild-card invitation for the French Open the next month. The US Tennis Association did grant a wild card to Sharapova, who was once ranked No. 1 but is currently 146th. That is 144 spots below Halep, who is among eight women that entered the US Open with a chance to top the WTA rankings by tournament’s end. The draw at Flushing Meadows randomly paired the two players, providing a buzzgenerating matchup that managed to live up to the hype on Day 1 at the year’s last Grand Slam tournament. It was a tremendously entertaining and high-quality

contest, more befitting a final than a first-rounder. These two women have, indeed, faced off with a Grand Slam title at stake: Sharapova beat Halep in the 2014 French Open final, part of what is now her 7-0 head-to-head record in the matchup. Yesterday, they traded stinging shots, often with Sharapova — dressed in all black, from her visor to her dress that sparkled under the lights, to her socks and shoes — aiming to end exchanges and Halep hustling into place to extend them. Points would last 10 or 12 strokes, or more, repeatedly leaving a sellout crowd of 23,771 in Arthur Ashe

Stadium clapping and yelling and high-fiving, no matter which player won them. The chair umpire repeatedly admonished spectators to hush. Halep blinked at the end of the hour-long first set, double-faulting to face a break point, then watching Sharapova punish a 71 mph second serve with a forehand return winner. That was Sharapova’s sixth return winner; she would finish with 14, more than enough to counter her seven double-faults. It was quickly 4-1 for Sharapova in the second set and she held a break point there to allow her to go up 5-1 and serve for the victory. But she couldn’t convert it. Then, only then, did Sharapova struggle for

a bit. Her footwork was a bit off. Her forehand lost its way. She would end up losing that game and the next four, too, as Halep managed to force a third set. But with the outcome in the balance, Sharapova once again looked as if she had never been away. She raced ahead 3-0 in the third, then 5-2. And this time, she did not let Halep back in, improving to 11-0 in first-round matches in New York. This was by far the day’s most significant match, no matter happened later in the men’s encounter in Ashe between No. 4 Alexander Zverev and qualifier Darian King of Barbados. Earlier Monday, seventime major champion Venus Williams picked up a

6-3, 3-6, 6-2 victory against Viktoria Kuzmova of Slovakia, a 19-year-old qualifier who is ranked 135th, joining past Wimbledon winners Garbine Muguruza and Petra Kvitova in the second round. But No. 7 seed Johanna Konta, a Wimbledon semifinalist just last month, was bounced by 78th-ranked Aleksandra Krunic of Serbia 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. “I don’t take anything for granted,” Konta said. “I think it would be quite obnoxious of me to come in here expecting I have a right to be in second week.” And in another surprise, 13th-seeded Jack Sock of the United States was eliminated 6-2, 7-6 (12), 1-6, 5-7, 6-4 by 73rd-ranked Jordan Thompson of Australia.

Muguruza looks sharp, Cilic looks healthy in wins By BRIAN MAHONEY Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Garbine Muguruza opened her US Open with an easy victory, looking like a favourite whether she believes it or not. The Wimbledon champion, who has never been past the second round here, beat Varvara Lepchenko of the US 6-0, 6-3 yesterday in just over an hour. No. 5 Marin Cilic followed her onto Arthur Ashe Stadium and beat American Tennys Sandgren 6-4, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 in his first match since the Wimbledon final, hoping he’s healthy enough to make a run through a men’s field that’s been decimated by injuries. Muguruza is a two-time Grand Slam champion but had just a 2-4 record in the year’s final major. She acknowledged after her match having a “dark past” at the US Open, but the No. 3 seed is perhaps the hottest player on the women’s tour and is considered one of the favourites here even with her poor previous results. “Oh, I don’t really care, because I don’t feel — I don’t feel I’m a favourite here, because I never really played very good,” Muguruza said. “I did play good but just didn’t go my way.” But she’s played great this summer, following her victory over Venus Williams in the Wimbledon final by winning the tuneup event in Cincinnati. The Spaniard has won 16 of her last 18 matches, and with Serena Williams pregnant and not playing and No. 2 Simona Halep facing a difficult opening-round match against former champion Maria Sharapova, Muguruza understands why people are picking her.

GARBINE MUGURUZA, of Spain, returns a shot from Varvara Lepchenko, of the United States, yesterday during the first round in New York. “In the paper, people might think that. But you come here and with the conditions and the past, there are certain players that play better and certain players that don’t,” she said. “So far I’m just thinking that I’m happy that I’m in second round, and that’s what I’m going to take.” The Halep-Sharapova match last night was a featured match of the opening day of play. Cilic hadn’t played since losing to Roger Federer in London because of a thigh injury, withdrawing from Montreal and Cincinnati, and is attempting to become the first player in the Open era to win the US Open without playing any matches since Wimbledon. He’s certainly got a shot, given the absence of top rivals who couldn’t shake off injuries in time for the year’s final Grand Slam. Defending champion Stan Wawrinka, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray all pulled out along with Japan’s Kei

DEMBELE ARRIVES TRYING TO AVOID COMPARISONS WITH NEYMAR By TALES AZZONI Associated Press MADRID (AP) — Newly-signed Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele said there is a long way to go before he can be compared to Neymar, as he was officially introduced by the Catalan club yesterday. The 20-year-old Dembele tried to avoid any parallels with the Brazilian star who left in a world-record transfer to Paris Saint-Germain in the offseason. “There is a difference between me and Neymar,” Dembele said through a translator. “He is one of the best players in the world, he is excellent. I’m young, I’ve only played two seasons as a professional. I’m trying to learn every day, I’m trying to improve.” Dembele said he was fulling a dream by joining the club he cheered for since he was a child, and that he was looking forward to playing alongside Lionel Messi. “I want to learn from him,” he said. “He is a fantastic player, the best in history. It will be an honour

to play in his team. I want to see how he plays, I want to see what he does on the field and off the field. I’m here to learn.” Barcelona paid 105 million euros ($125 million) to sign Dembele from Borussia Dortmund, plus possible add-ons that could reach 147 million euros ($175 million) and would make the Frenchman the secondhighest transfer in soccer history. “It’s not a pressure,” he said. “The market has changed. What is important is that I do my job on the field. I’m not going to be affected by the amount of the transfer.” Barcelona said more than 17,000 fans were at the Camp Nou Stadium to get their first look at Dembele in a presentation that was delayed by approximately two hours because of a bureaucratic issue that was keeping the youngster from signing the new contract. Dembele underwent a medical before finally signing the contract alongside Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu. He changed from his suit

conference as a Barcelona player, Dembele posed with the team’s shirt along with his family. Dembele’s five-year contract has a buyout clause of 400 million euros ($478 million). He was signed after Neymar left for PSG in a deal worth more than 220 million euros ($262 million) just before the start of the season. Barcelona initially tried to sign Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool but negotiations did not develop. Barcelona sporting director Robert Fernandez did not dismiss the possibility that Coutinho may still arrive, saying that the club was still negotiating to bring one or two players before the end of the transfer window on Friday. Barcelona had already added forward Gerard Deulofeu, who was with Everton but used to play for the team’s youth squads, and Brazil midfielder Paulinho, who was playing in China. Barcelona won its first two games in the Spanish league.
