In the week-long International Tennis Federation touring event for players in the 18-and-under and 14-and-under divisions at the National Tennis Centre, Abigail Simms won 6-4, 6-2 over American Victoria Lushnikov.

But her little sister, 15-year-old Gabrielle Simms, was unsuccessful in her match right behind her on the same court, losing 6-2, 6-1 to American Kayla Dean.

“It was hot, but I had to do it. I’m glad that I got the win,” said Simms, 17. “It was tough at the start, but I got my composure and pulled it off.”

In the first set, Simms got a break to go up 5-4 and held on serve for the win. She came back in the second set and got another break for a 5-2 lead and held serve again for the game, set and match.

“It’s a great feeling to win. It shows that hard work actually pays off,” Simms said. “I want to win. But I know it’s going to be tough. There are a lot of great players here. I just need to play like I did today.”

Despite the make-up of the team, Mortimer said the players performed at their best.

“The team performed at a very high level, especially since we got off to a slow start,” Mortimer said.

“We came back with a lot of resilience and was able to fight right to the end. So I’m very happy with the team effort.”

BELGIUM DEFEATS JAPAN 3-2 TO ADVANCE

Neymar leads Brazil into World Cup quarter-finals

By ROB HARRIS AP Global Soccer Writer SAMARA, Russia (AP) — Flaunting his flair and his finishing touch wasn’t enough. Neymar put his theatrics on show, too.

What became clear in Brazil’s 2-0 victory over Mexico yesterday is that the wild side of the striker’s character is going nowhere at this year’s World Cup. And neither is Brazil.

“I don’t much care for criticism,” Neymar said, “not even for praise.”

With a goal and an assist, Neymar propelled Brazil into the quarter-finals of a tournament it has won five times. He also extended his platform to show the world he is as good — or better — than Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Although Neymar has scored only two goals in four games in Russia, he did enter the World Cup after spending three months recovering from a broken right foot. And it was the right foot that helped to break through Mexico’s stern resistance in Samara.

After releasing Willian with a back-heel, Neymar raced into the penalty area and slid to tap his

teammate’s return cross into the net.

While his scoring is so often the focus, Neymar also creates goals for his teammates. A toe-poked attempt to beat Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa in the 88th minute was diverted into the path of Robert Firmino, who scored with a tap-in just like Neymar did. The world’s most expensive player has 11 goals and nine assists in his last 19 games for Brazil.

But before setting up the second goal it looked like Neymar’s game — or even his World Cup — could be over with 20 minutes to go.

It turned out to be pure histrionics. Writhing in agony after his right ankle was stepped on by Miguel Layun, Neymar managed to get back on his feet. But not before trying to step on Layun.

Both escaped punishment, but the judgment elsewhere was less forgiving, with Neymar asked after the match if he was a diva trying to draw fouls.

“I think it’s more an attempt to undermine me than anything else,” Neymar responded.

The five-time World Cup champions will next face

NEYMAR celebrates after scoring Brazil’s opening goal.

Belgium in the quarterfinals on Friday in Kazan.

Brazil has reached that stage at every World Cup since 1994.

Mexico has now lost in the round of 16 at every tournament over the same period of time, extending its wait for the “quinto partido” — or fifth game — for at least another four years.

The last time Mexico reached the quarter-finals was when the country hosted the tournament in 1986.

This year’s World Cup had started so promisingly for Mexico. The team opened with a win over Germany, setting the

defending champions on the path to an early exit.

They caused problems for Brazil, too, initially.

But they couldn’t find a way to stop Neymar.

“He’s very agile. He’s very fast,” Brazil coach Tite said.

“Is it wrong to feign, to provoke the players in the last third? It’s not a sin.”

Neymar’s dispute with Layun unfolded as the Mexico substitute tried to recover the ball. In a delayed reaction, Neymar made the most of Layun stepping on his ankle, rolling around with his hand covering his eyes.

The rapid recovery seemed miraculous.

“We wasted a lot of time because of one single player,” Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio said, without naming Neymar. “I think this is a real shame for football, especially for kids who are watching because this has to be a sport of virility, of determination, a man’s sport, like other games, and not a charade.”

During the win over Costa Rica in the group stage, Neymar tried to win a penalty by flopping to the ground in the area. A video review reversed the

decision to award a penalty kick and Neymar’s frustrations a few minutes later led to a yellow card.

Tite also played a big role in the victory over Mexico, deciding to replace Philippe Coutinho with Firmino. Fresh among tiring legs, Firmino was able to evade the defence to get in the right place to score the second goal.

Neymar, though, still led the celebrations, charging toward the corner flag. Tite came to join him.

With Germany, Argentina and Spain among the contenders already eliminated, Brazil’s hopes of a sixth World Cup title have received an extra lift.

QUOTABLE “Being able to play at such a level against a team like Brazil really shows that Mexico is a good team,” Osorio said. “We were maybe not very efficient and we didn’t have that extra quality that they had coming to our goal.”

NEXT FOR BRAZIL After a return to its training base in Sochi, Brazil heads back north to Kazan for Friday’s quarter-final match.

ROSTOV-ON-DON, Russia (AP) — Jan Vertonghen started Belgium’s comeback with a wild, looping header and Nacer Chaldi capped it by finishing off a 10-second, end-to-end attack in the final moments.

It added up to a 3-2 victory over Japan yesterday that gave the Belgians a spot in the World Cup quarter-finals for the second straight tournament.

Trailing 2-0, Vertonghen scored with a header in the 69th minute that appeared to be a cross but somehow dropped in under the bar.

Substitute Marouane Fellaini headed in another from Eden Hazard’s cross in the 74th.

Chaldi, who came on as a substitute in the 65th, decided it with virtually the last kick of the game in the fourth minute of injury time.

Belgium goalkeeper Thibault Courtois grabbed a corner kick and rolled the ball to Kevin De Bruyne, who dribbled to the top of the centre circle and passed to Thomas Meunier on the right. Meunier one-timed the ball across the area and Romelu Lukaku let it roll by for Chaldi to tap in with his left foot from 7 yards.

Belgium is the first team to overturn a two-goal deficit in a World Cup knockout match since West Germany beat England in extra time at the 1970 tournament. The last team do it in regulation was when Portugal beat North Korea in the 1966 quarter-finals.

Belgium will next face five-time champion Brazil in the quarter-finals on Friday in Kazan.

Japan led through early second-half goals by Genki Haraguchi and Takashi Inui, but they couldn’t hold on.

What was expected to be a mismatch ended up being a classic, partly because of Martinez’s decisions to send on Fellaini and Chadli as substitutes in the 65th minute.

Belgium, which narrowly avoided joining Germany, Argentina, Spain and Portugal as big-name eliminations, won all three of its group matches and scored a tournament-leading nine goals at that stage.

Japan narrowly scraped through, advancing ahead of Senegal because it had fewer yellow cards.

The Japanese have now lost in the round of 16 three times without ever reaching the quarter-finals.

THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME: The Budweiser Caribbean Group at the 2018 FIFA World Cup soccer tournament in Russia. At left is the Intercontinental hotel.

FIFA World Cup in Russia was the ‘Trip of a Lifetime’

By RENALDO DORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net MOSCOW, Russia — The FIFA World Cup is universally regarded as the global sporting event of a lifetime. To that end, Budweiser and the Bahamian Brewery & Beverage Company sent a lucky winner on the “Trip of a Lifetime.”

Anthony Bullard was selected as the winner of Budweiser’s global promotion, and as the winner from the Bahamas, joined other winners from around the world for a week of football, fellowship and of course, beer, at the FIFA World Cup in Moscow, Russia.

“I was always a Budweiser drinker, but when I saw the promotion I just happened to buy more than I used to do. I usually got a six-pack, but in this instance, whenever I went to buy Budweiser I bought a case,” Bullard said. “I was playing softball and we have a deal - when you strike out, you have to buy a case. So, I have to say, this was one strikeout worked for me.”

The “Trip of a Lifetime” was just one aspect of Budweiser’s “Light Up the FIFA World Cup” promotion aimed at global advertising and social media activation surrounding the world’s biggest sporting event.

The highlight of the week-long schedule of events included tickets to a thrilling Group E matchup between Brazil and Serbia at Moscow’s Spartak Stadium.

Goals by Paulinho and Thiago Silva have steered a much-improved Brazil to a 2-0 victory over a battling but ultimately outclassed Serbia and into a World Cup second-round meeting with Mexico which they won 2-0 yesterday. Brazil finished top of Group E on seven points, two ahead of the Swiss, who will face Sweden in the last 16.

Serbia ended in third place on three points and are eliminated along with Costa Rica.

Over 44,000 rowdy fans, mostly a sea of yellow-clad Brazilian enthusiasts, watched with eager anticipation at every opportunity for their star forward Neymar Jr and his efforts to score a goal.

For much of the evening, the Brazilian fanbase overpowered the cheers of pockets of Serbian supporters from the opening kick.

Bullard had previous experience with the game as a hospitality officer when the Bahamas hosted the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, but said the World Cup experience, particularly watching the Brazil experience live, brought a new perspective and appreciation for the sport.

“I know soccer and I appreciated it, but it was just a different experience

seeing the game played at this level, before these many passionate people on the biggest stage in the world.

I got familiar with the game in my time working with the team from Senegal during the Beach Soccer event and I’m always around the softball field and soccer pitch is right there so I go over from time to time and have a look so it always peaked my interest,” he said.

“When I heard that I won this I wanted to watch Senegal because of my experience working with them or one of the other teams from Africa, but to see Brazil was amazing because they are like an international global brand. The stadium setup was amazing. When they showed the attendance on the board with over 44,000 people in attendance but it still felt intimate enough to make it a great experience.

Even if you are not a fan of one of the particular teams, the excitement grabs you.”

The excitement began from the moment we landed in Moscow, where we were greeted by Budweiser personnel and were subsequently transported to the Bud Hotel at Ulitsa Tverskaya. During the whole World Cup, The Intercontinental Hotel has been transformed to an entertainment hub and 24-hour interactive atmosphere bustling with activity.

Guests were able to taste dishes from the menu which was specially designed for the 2018 FIFA World Cup and try the SPA programmes. The Bud Loft also hosted a number of parties on the 12th floor of the hotel and included a special space called Bud Studios, arranged for bloggers for content editing and promotion.

The lobby included a big-screen viewing area, bar, arcade games and several coolers filled with Budweiser, available at the leisure of guests at any moment.

“Coming to Russia I didn’t know what to expect, but everything was smooth, well thought out and well planned straight through.

Budweiser all over the world did an incredible job with this because they made us feel not just like guests, but everyone in the Bud hotel felt like royalty,” Bullard said. “I was in awe at the whole thing from the moment we stepped into the lobby and how thorough they were with the branding. Budweiser was literally everywhere from the floor to the ceiling, to the robes in the bathrooms and the people were so accommodating. I have so much Budweiser merchandise now I can wear something new or drink out of a new cup every day.”

The “Trip of a Lifetime” experience offered more than tickets to the Brazil vs Serbia match and all of the complimentary Budweiser

Guests also had an opportunity to learn about the rich culture and history of the city of Moscow. There was dinner at Café Pushkin (located just feet away from the square named after the famous Russian poet and playwright) with its antique décor, dinner at Saxon + Parole and a city tour educating guests on some of Moscow’s most internationally renowned landmarks — Red Square, The Kremlin, St Basil’s Cathedral, the Moscow Metro Stations, Hermitage Museum and much more.

“The tour around the city of Moscow was one of my favourite experiences,” Bullard said. “You have to love all the rich history you get to learn about and see it first hand right there in the moment. You have one perspective of things when you only read about it or hear about it on TV or in the news, but being in the city and visiting all these historic landmarks really captured our attention and made us fall in love with this city.”

He reflected on the day in May when he learned that he won the promotion and

the competition that began between his friends and family in an effort to convince him to join him on the journey.

“That day I was at work and I lost my phone. About an hour later I got the call telling me I won the grand prize and the trip to Russia.

So, right then I had to drop whatever I was doing and head to Jimmy’s No.2 on Nassau Street. The whole time I was fighting through traffic I was wondering if any of this was real. They had the Budweiser promotion out there and it sunk in that it was real,” Bullard said. “Everyone I know wanted me to take them on this trip when they heard about it. Everyone I know from my boss, to the people I work with, to people that play or are very into soccer, everyone wanted to go. Some people even offered to pay me for it, but I said to myself, I had to have this experience in Russia. There’s no amount of money in the world that would have gotten me to give this up.”

Bullard was accompanied by his wife, Dolores, on the trip to Moscow. “I was in denial at first but everyone started sending me the newspaper clipping saying he had won. My mind started shifting to preparation right after that,” she said.“Every night we saw the game in a different

Winners from around the world will continue to take up residence at the Bud hotel in Moscow for the duration of the World Cup. Major highlights of the “Light Up the FIFA World Cup” campaign include global advertising featuring the largest beer delivery to date, the deployment of eight million noise-activated Red Light cups that

light up in response to fan cheering, and a variety of integrated experiential, digital and social programmes launching in more than 50 countries.

“This trip was such a learning experience,” Dolores said. “I learned about the passion of soccer and soccer fans, I learned more about the city of Moscow but the most important thing I learned is that I became a new Budweiser drinker, thanks to Bahamian Brewery & Beverage.”

HICKS HITS 3 HRS, YANKEES ROUT RED SOX 11-1 TO WIN SERIES NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Hicks hit three home runs and the New York Yankees pummeled David Price again, connecting five times in the first four innings Sunday night on the way to an 11-1 rout of the Boston Red Sox. Luis Severino became the first 13-game winner in the majors, cruising through 6 2/3 shutout innings of two-hit ball after the Bronx Bombers quickly built him a big cushion. With the teams trading blowouts all weekend, the Yankees (54-27) took two of three from their longtime rivals to regain baseball’s best record and first place in the AL East.

Batting leadoff against a left-hander, Hicks homered twice from the right side of the plate and once from the left.

He smacked a two-run shot to right field in the second inning and a solo drive to centre in the fourth that chased Price (9-6) and made it 8-0.

Hicks pulled his 14th of the season into the right-field stands in the eighth off Hector Velazquez. It was the first three-homer game by a Yankees player since Alex Rodriguez, part of the ESPN broadcast team Sunday night, accomplished the feat at Minnesota in July 2015.

Foes to teammates: Rondo joining LeBron and Lakers

By TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball Writer

EVEN when their respective teams were vicious rivals, Rajon Rondo often gave LeBron James high praise.

He’ll now be giving him the ball.

A person with knowledge of the negotiations confirmed The Associated Press that Rondo had agreed to sign a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Lakers. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal is not finalised. So in less than 24 hours, not only did the Lakers lure James out of Cleveland — but added two players who were longtime antagonists in his annual quest to win the Eastern Conference, first by agreeing to a deal with Lance Stephenson on Sunday night and then moving yesterday to convince Rondo to join what will be his sixth different NBA franchise.

James is back on vacation while the Lakers are busy building a roster around him.

“For him, it’s just business as usual,” Lakers legend Kobe Bryant said of James during a Monday appearance on ESPN’s “The Jump.” ‘‘He’ll come to work. He’ll work hard every single day. I’m really excited for our young players, because they get a chance to watch him work up close and so I think that speeds up their learning curve. ... I think it’s just important for ‘Bron just to be himself and continue doing what he’s been doing.”

After just over $1 billion in new contracts were agreed upon starting late Saturday night and through the official first day of free agency Sunday — with James going to the Lakers, Kevin Durant staying in Golden State, Chris Paul staying in Houston and Paul George staying in Oklahoma City, among other news — things predictably cooled off a bit for Day 2.

It was still a big day for some guys, including Derrick Favors, who agreed on a $36 million, twoyear deal to stay with the Utah

Jazz. Upon hearing that news, his teammates Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert reacted by quickly posting similar requests on Twitter — that being that Favors finally grabs a dinner check.

He can do that now, and then some.

JJ Redick is back with the Philadelphia 76ers, agreeing to a one-year deal worth about $12 million. Redick averaged 17.1 points and shot 42 per cent from 3-point range last season with Philadelphia, when he made $23 million.

With James out of the Eastern Conference, Philadelphia believes it can make a run at getting to the NBA Finals.

So does Boston — which, coincidentally, gave away the No. 9 jersey that Rondo used to wear there Monday by completing the long-expected signing of Brad Wanamaker, a guard who comes to Boston after spending the last seven seasons in Europe.

Wanamaker played his college ball at Pitt, and is coming off being

selected MVP of this year’s Turkish League finals.

Anthony Tolliver changed teams again, this time going back to one of his former stops — Minnesota, which will sign him to a one-year deal worth $5.75 million. Tolliver has played for nine different franchises, and spent last season with Detroit.

The Pistons added Jose Calderon, who will reunite with his former coach Dwane Casey. Calderon signed a one-year deal for the veteran minimum of about $2.4 million.

Calderon was with James in Cleveland last season.

So he’s leaving Cleveland — and so is the massive banner showing James and bearing the phrase “We Are All Witnesses.”

The 10-story banner in downtown Cleveland is scheduled to be taken down by Nike later this week, even though some Clevelanders said they hoped it would remain as a tribute to James’ years with the Cavs.

DWIGHT COLEBY HOPES TO MAKE IMPRESSION IN NBA SUMMER LEAGUE

By RENALDO DORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net DWIGHT Coleby hopes to make an impression in the NBA Summer League as he pursues his first pro basketball contract.

Coleby had to cut his time with the national basketball team short when he was named to the 2018 Las Vegas Summer League and mini-camp roster of the New Orleans Pelicans.

The former Western Kentucky Hilltopper was with Team Bahamas at the third window of the FIBA Americas Qualifier when he learned of the announcement.

The Pelicans will hold a four-day minicamp at their practice facility in Metairie that begins Monday and ends Thursday.

The roster will be highlighted by several recent franchise draft picks including third-year forward Cheick Diallo, 2017 secondround pick Frank Jackson and 2018 second-round pick Tony Carr.

The Pelicans are assured of at least five Summer League contests in Vegas, the first edition of the tournament that will include all 30 of the league’s teams.

They will make their debut on July 6 against the Toronto Raptors at Thomas & Mack Center, followed by games against the Miami Heat on July 7, and the Detroit Pistons on July 9 to finish pool play prior to the single-elimination tournament. This will be the first year all 30 teams will participate in the Las Vegas Summer League.

Last month, Coleby began his path to pro basketball with the first of his pre-NBA Draft workouts.

He was one of several players hosted by the Utah Jazz in the second round of the franchise’s pre-draft workouts.

Walt Perrin, VP of Player Personnel for the Jazz said these workouts serve

DWIGHT COLEBY the purpose of discovering talent that may not be drafted but may have a place in the organisation through summer league or the G-League.

Coleby posted a double double in the final game of his collegiate career, but the postseason run for his Western Kentucky Hilltoppers ended in the National Invitational Tournament semi-finals in a 69-64 loss to the Utah Utes. He finished with 10 points and 13 rebounds.

WKU finished the season 27-11 and they achieved the programme’s most wins in a decade. Their 38 games played tied the programme record and their three postseason victories also tied a school record as they advanced to the NIT semis for the first time since 1954.

Coleby averaged 11.1 points and 7.9 rebounds per game in his lone season as a graduate transfer in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

In his senior season with the Kansas Jayhawks, he averaged 1.7 points and 1.8 rebounds per game in his lone season in Lawrence after transferring from Ole Miss. He was already set to spend the 2015-16 season on the sidelines as a transfer but he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during a light team workout in October 2015 and had to undergo a gruelling rehab process.

‘LA-Bron’ move could be far from a slam dunk for Lakers MUCH to my chagrin the inevitable finally happened, LeBron James is a Laker.

DIE HARD LAKER Everybody knows I don’t do hypocrisy at all.

So I most certainly am not one of these in the moment euphoric Laker fans.

I understand their exuberance, most of them haven’t been through all that I’ve been through with our beloved Lakers.

I’ve been through the whole gambit, win, lose or get shafted by former NBA Commissioner (and an employee of the devil) David Stern, who vetoed a certain Chris Paul trade a few years back.

I see their joy, but I’m also a realist.

LeBron is presently the best player on the planet, however that has not translated into success on the grandest stage, the NBA Finals, 3-6 speaks volumes, and stains his otherwise impressive résumé.

He’s the same LeBron that led Cleveland to the Finals 4 straight years, (he did the same with the Heat) going 1-3 in the process, and it could have been 0-4 if not for a dubious Draymond Green suspension.

What’s he going to do, teach the young Lakers how to lose in the Finals?

He’s the same LeBron who’s teammates prefer not to play with him, see Kyrie Irving’s departure to Boston, and this revealing quote from former Cavs teammate JR Smith - “It’s a lot of pressure. Not for myself or my teammates, but just playing on his team.

You play on his team, and you’re playing with the best player in the world and you get to witness some great historic things and be a part of it.

Then, on the other side, if you don’t help that person win, they’re looking at you, too. So it’s a lot of pressure, depending on how you look at it.”

He’s the same petulant LeBron with the girlish antics, and prima-donna attitude.

Something the young talented Lakers core - Ball, Hart, Ingraham and Kuzma - don’t need to learn.

He’s also the 33-year-old LeBron who’s never had a serious injury etc.

Please see Kobe’s final two seasons!

Always remember ‘Father Time’ is undefeated.

All of this, plus other intangibles that remain to be seen, make this move for the Lakers far from a slam dunk.

INSTANT GRATIFICATION By inking that four-year $154 million deal, LeBron made the Lakers and Los Angeles relevant again.

I’ve always pulled for the name on the front of the jersey not the back (maybe Kobe was the only exception)

So I’m excited to see what Lakers top brass, ‘Magic Johnson’ and Rob Pelinka finally put together, because the wheeling and dealing is far from over.

Apart from James, add Kentavious Caldwell Pope, Lance Stephenson, Rajon Rondo, Javalle McGee to the Lakers aforementioned young core of Ball, Hart, Ingram and Kuzma. (provided they all aren’t traded for Kwahi Leonard) And allegedly with DeMarcus Cousins and Tyreke Evans rumoured to be on the way to LA. LeBron has the perfect mixture of youth and veteran leadership to be extremely successful.

Pursuit of Cousins and Evans was made possible after the Lakers renounced their rights to PF Julius Randall, who interestingly enough signed with the Pelicans, Cousins’ former team. Laker fans can expect a return to the playoffs with this roster, and from there let’s just see how it pans out.

BRONSEXUALS NOT WELCOME Now before you rabid, ‘Bronsexuals’ try to take over the ‘Lakerdom’ like you did in Cleveland and Miami before, let me stop you in your tracks.

LEBRON James goes up to dunk against the Charlotte Hornets on March 28. James has announced he will be joining Ball and the Lakers to try and dethrone the Golden State Warriors and grow his own legacy.

(AP Photo/Chuck Burton) You see the Lakers are a storied franchise, rich in tradition and championships.

Supported by loyal, nonwavering fans, who support the Lakers through good and bad, thick and thin.

Win or lose.

We celebrate great Lakers and root for a new generation of Laker champions.

Franchise first.

These are qualities that none of you Bronsexuals possess - you follow LeBron blindly from city to city signing his praises, and now you have the audacity to claim being Lakers!

Stop, let me make it unequivocally clear, you can root for LeBron, increase Laker revenue by buying his jersey.

Promote the Lakers and LeBron as feverishly as you did in his prior stops.

But please always bare in mind that you will never be Lakers, you’ve exhibited by your previous behaviour while following your ‘king’ that you don’t have what it takes to be a Laker.

Just as LeBron’s hairline is lacking, so are you ‘Bronsexuals’, therefore you will be given your own seating plans to the game,

FIBA: BAHAMAS GETS 83-82 VICTORY OVER THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC FROM PAGE 1 team-high 10 rebounds. Victor Liz led Puerto Rico with a gamehigh 23 points and Luis Montero scored 12. Carey’s score put the Bahamas up 83-80 with 32 seconds left to play and the Bahamas survived several mishaps down the stretch including missed free throws and turnovers. Eloy Vargas missed a desperation three as time expired and the Bahamas held on for the one-point win. The Bahamas led by as much as 13 in the

fourth quarter when Jaron Cornish made a three-pointer to give the team a 77-64 lead with 3:57 left to play. Puerto Rico responded with a 16-2 run and took the lead on a Liz layup (80-79) with 54 seconds left to play. Munnings regained the lead for Team Bahamas with a pair of free throws and Carey would score the team’s final points on the ensuing possession.

The Bahamas led 18-14 after the first quarter, 36-32 at the half and 61-56 heading into the fourth quarter. The win came just days after a devastating loss to the US Virgin

The win over the Dominican Republic was the last of six games in the home-and-away series in Group D of the qualifying tournament for the 2019 World Cup in Russia.

It was the Bahamas’ second match-up against the Dominican Republic, having lost the opener 96-63 in their first match-up at the Kendal Isaacs Gymnasium on Thursday, February 22.

Team Bahamas is coming off their 84-74 loss to the US Virgin

Islands on Thursday in San Juan, Puerto Rico, a game that eliminated the country from qualifying for the World Cup. Prior to last night’s game, the Bahamas was previously winless in the first two windows, losing 93-69 to Canada in Halifax on Friday, November 24, 93-85 to the US Virgin Islands on November 27 at the Kendal Isaacs Gymnasium, 96-63 to the Dominican Republic on Thursday, February 22 at the Kendal Isaacs Gymnasium and 113-67 to Canada at the Kendal Isaacs Gymnasium.

“I’m just looking to do my best, hopefully to win the tournament,” he said.

“It’s always good to try to get a Bahamian to win one in their own backyard, so I will see what I can do.

I don’t think too much about the seed or ranking. I just go out there and try and concentrate on my game and do my best and hopefully I can come out with the win.”

Another Grand Bahamian, Donesha Gibson, lost 6-0, 6-0 to Canada’s Dharani Niroshan.

“My match was okay, but I felt I could have put more balls in play,” Gibson said. “I just have to learn how to move the ball better because they move a lot.”

Not only did she move a lot, but Niroshan said her objective was to get off the court as quickly as she could, considering how hot the temperature was.

Bahamas defeats Barbados for the bronze in CAZOVA Championship FROM PAGE 1 On winning her award, Knowles said she was pleasantly surprised.

“I wasn’t thinking about it, so it was good,” she admitted. “Everybody felt it would have been

better playing in the championship, but we just missed it.”

Prior to the playoffs, Team Bahamas lost its first two games to Trinidad & Tobago and Suriname before rebounding to close out the round robin with a win over Barbados.

In the tournament opening game against Trinidad & Tobago, the Bahamas was beaten 25-16, 25-12 and 25-12 in a game that assistant coach Margaret ‘Muggy’ Albury had to fill in for head coach Covance Mortimer, who had a flight delay into Suriname.

Mortimer arrived in time for their second match-up against Suriname, but the Bahamas still suffered a 25-12, 25-23 and 25-19 as Melinda Bastian led the way with 10 points for her outside hitting attacks.

And after the two losses, Team Bahamas took their frustration out on Barbados with their 25-14, 25-20 and 28-26 decision as Bastian once again paced the attack with 11 points and four passes and digs.

Federer loses his initials, still wins at Wimbledon

By MATTIAS KAREN Associated Press LONDON (AP) — Roger Federer didn’t need his initials to sign off on another masterful display at Wimbledon.

He’s hoping to get them back soon, though.

Federer’s stylish “RF” logo was missing from his outfit as he stepped out on Centre Court yesterday to begin his title defence with a quick 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 win over Dusan Lajovic. So was the Nike swoosh that has been an ever-present adornment during his 15 years of tennis dominance.

The eyebrow-raising new look was a result of switching apparel sponsors to Japanese clothing company Uniqlo, despite the Swiss star’s name having been synonymous with Nike ever since winning his first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 2003. And while the swoosh may be gone for good, Federer wants to reclaim his initials.

“Yeah, so the RF logo is with Nike at the moment,

but it will come to me at some point. I hope rather sooner than later, that Nike can be nice and helpful in the process to bring it over to me,” Federer said. “They are my initials. They are mine. The good thing is it’s not theirs forever. In a short period of time, it will come to me.”

One thing that clearly hasn’t left him — even at the age of 36 — is his mastery of grass courts.

Starting his quest for a record-extending ninth Wimbledon title, Federer looked as sharp as ever.

Lajovic held serve in the opening game but that was as good as it got for the 58th-ranked Serb. Federer reeled off the next nine games to take charge and was in cruise control for the rest of the match.

Federer didn’t face a break point and showed off the full repertoire of shots that has made him the most successful male player ever at Wimbledon. He set another record in the process, becoming the first man in the Open era to play in

Federer’s move to Uniqlo had been rumoured ahead of the tournament, but wasn’t confirmed until he stepped onto the court.

However, he hasn’t completely left Nike behind.

He still wore the American company’s shoes on court, although he may have had to pay for these ones himself. “I don’t have a shoe deal,” he said. “I’m looking forward to see what shoes I will be wearing in the near future. For now, I will be wearing Nike. They have shown interest to have a shoe deal with me, as well.

Ties are not broken there. I have deep roots with Nike.

I’ve had a great relationship over the last 20 years. But everything is open.”
