‘Long distance king’ Oneil Williams wins 13-mile exhibition

By BRENT STUBBS Senior Sports Reporter bstubbs@tribunemedia.net

neil Williams proved why he is the newly minted Bahamas men’s national marathon record holder.

In an early Saturday morning exhibition run where the winner took the whole hog cash prize, Williams ran away from Mackey Williams and Sidney Collie in an estimated 13-mile run that started and finished at Montagu Bay. The three top notch local competitors left Montagu Bay and headed west over the old and new Paradise Island bridges to Goodman’s Bay and on their return they went over the new and old bridges and finished at Montagu Bay.

O

“The guys wanted to test themselves and test me to see how far or how close they are to me,” said Williams, who clocked about one hour and 20 minutes to remain undefeated against his two rivals.

“I do believe that Marathon Bahamas will be a big showdown for Sidney and Mackey depending on whether they do the full or half marathon. They just wanted to test themselves to see where they are right now.”

Williams, who had intended to go to Amsterdam to compete in a marathon, said after he was forced to return home two months ago from his training in Kenya, he has found it difficult to secure any funding to assist him.

“I made up my mind that if I do well, I will continue, but if I don’t, I will call it quits,” said Williams about competing for the Bahamas. “Every year it becomes

tedious trying to represent the country. I can’t get any sponsors.

“The Ministry (of Youth, Sports and Culture) just sent me a letter saying they can’t give me any stipend and a couple of sponsors pulled out,” he said.

For the past six years, Williams has been in Kenya training.

In December, his training paid off as he eventually broke the Bahamas national record at the 35th Ameris Bank Jacksonville Marathon in Jacksonville, Florida in a time of two hours, 30 minutes and 35 seconds.

But even after he replaced the old mark of 2:34:00 that was set by Grand Bahamian Delroy Boothe in December, 1999 in Jacksonville as well, Williams said he’s disappointed that he can’t generate any funding to assist him to further his track and field career as a long distance runner.

During his last trip to Kenya, Williams, 35, spent about a month training with Mitchel Curtis in June and he made sure that everything was in place for them.

“I enjoyed the time we spent in Kenya,” Williams said. “They know it comes with hard work.

They saw Mo Farah, who encouraged them to continue at it. They are good ideas and I’m looking for big things from them in the future.”

Mackey Williams, who trailed Oneil Williams by about 10 minutes, said it was a great exhibition, even though he was hoping he and Collie would have made it a closer finish.

“This is where you have to test your body to see where you at, rather than you just running by yourself,” Mackey Williams pointed out. “Anybody can look good running by themselves. But

under competition and pressure, you really get to see where you’re at.”

As the orchestra of the exhibition, Mackey Williams said they could try to do it once every month or at least every quarter, if they can get some funding to sweeten the jackpot.

“It will keep you on your Ps and Qs, rather than you waiting for a road race, which could be two or three months later,” he pointed out. “At least you know where you are and you just go from there.”

Mackey Williams, the elder of the trio at 49, said Oneil Williams gave him a run for his money and he took it all in the winner’s take all cash prize of $150.00. “He gave me some blows, I took them and gave him some too,” Mackey

FINALLY, ATHLETES GET THEIR SUBVENTION CHEQUES

Jets top Lions 48-17 in Patricia’s dreadful debut

By NOAH TRISTER AP Sports Writer DETROIT (AP) — The booing began early. Even after the Detroit Lions had scored on a touchdown on the game’s first snap, the fans at Ford Field sensed trouble.

An anemic first quarter of offence set the tone. By halftime, Matthew Stafford and the Lions were trailing, and in the third quarter, they unravelled completely.

The 48-17 loss to the New York Jets last night was a dreadful debut for new coach Matt Patricia and a nightmare for Stafford, who was intercepted four times in a total debacle for Detroit.

The Lions fired coach Jim Caldwell after going 9-7 last season.

The hope was that Patricia could come over from New England’s

staff and lift Detroit to the next level, but expectations in Motown seemed a tempered after an unimpressive preseason, and Monday’s rout brought little reason for optimism.

It actually began with a flourish for Detroit when Quandre Diggs intercepted rookie Sam Darnold on the first play from scrimmage and went 37 yards for a touchdown.

There were boos from the crowd later in the quarter, though. It was tied at 7 after one, and the Lions had minus-2 yards of offence.

Down 17-10 at halftime, Detroit responded by going 75 yards in only four plays, tying the game on Stafford’s 24-yard touchdown pass to Golden Tate.

Then the Jets reeled off 31 straight points before the end of the third.

Darnold found Quincy Enunwa for a 21-yard touchdown, quickly restoring New York’s seven-point lead.

Then Darron Lee intercepted Stafford and went 36 yards for a touchdown.

Just 67 seconds later, the Jets scored again on a 78-yard punt return by Andre Roberts.

New York capped the quarter when Isaiah Crowell scored on a 62-yard run with 54 seconds left, making the score 48-17.

Stafford went 27 of 46 for 286 yards. Matt Cassel replaced him briefly in the third when Stafford was crunched between two defenders while attempting a pass.

The crowd cheered when Cassel went in again with 8:15 left in the fourth, but he threw an interception shortly thereafter.

Meanwhile, fans clad in green and white began a chorus of “J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets!” chants that echoed around an otherwise deflated Ford Field.

There was almost nothing for the Lions to feel good about. Kenny Golladay had seven catches for 114 yards. The pass rush managed a couple early sacks after a listless preseason.

But the offence couldn’t build on Diggs’ early touchdown. Rookie Kerryon Johnson had only five carries, and Detroit ran for just 39 yards. Defensive end Ziggy Ansah left with a shoulder injury.

By the end, Jets fans had moved their celebration to the mostly abandoned sections behind New York’s bench. There weren’t many Detroit fans left. At least the empty seats couldn’t boo.

AS proclaimed last week

by Tim Munnings, the director of sports in the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture, athletes on subventions have received their payments over the weekend.

After complaints by some of the athletes that they had not received their payments for at least two months and it was causing some anxiety, Munnings said the funding was on its way to the athletes.

He said the delay was due to the fact that both the new Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture and Permanent Secretary had taken leave and only signed the requisite on their return to office.

A number of athletes have confirmed that they have received the funding and are now able to take care of their obligations, especially those who reside in the United States of America.

Athletes in track and field, swimming, soccer, judo, boxing, basketball, bodybuilding, tennis and cycling are being paid from $12,000 to $34,000 a year to assist in their training development.

Munnings, a former track athlete who represented the country at both the IAAF World Championships and the Olympic Games, declined to reveal the names of those athletes on subvention and exactly how much they are receiving.

He did indicate that a committee was convened last year to review the subvention process. Once the committee makes its recommendations, Munnings said some athletes may not be reconsidered and others will be added, as well as the figures could increase and decrease for those on the programme.

Burrows Sr calling on government to clarify cost of national baseball stadium

By BRENT STUBBS Senior Sports Reporter bstubbs@tribunemedia.net

ALTHOUGH there were some discrepancies on the huge price tag for the completion of the new Andre Rodgers National Baseball Stadium, former Senator Greg Burrows Sr is calling on government to clarify the vast increase of the construction.

“In the initial stage, it started off with a cost of $16 million, which included the purchase of

the super structure and the construction of the stadium,” said Burrows Sr, a local baseball executive.

“When they added the supporting fields and the extension of the seating bleachers and the extension of the overall canopy, it went up to about $27 million. Now I’m hearing talks that they will be capping just the stadium around $34 million.”

While he has taken into consideration the cost incurred from the stoppage of the work, which is

estimated to be around $5-6 million, Burrows Sr said it’s not so much the price of the stadium, but rather the approach the government is taking towards the stadium. “First of all, I don’t think that it’s a disaster. I think it’s a complex that is needed by the Bahamian people and I continue to say that we are on a fast track of pushing our young men into the professional and college realm in baseball,” he said.

“How is it that we could have all these other things and we can’t

have something that is needed to develop our kids. Baseball, as it stands right now, is one of the fastest growing sports in the country. Baseball had some slow grow back in the day, but we have turned that around and it is now the preferred sport for young men.”

When he served in the previous Progressive Liberal Party, Burrows Sr said it was their intention to provide a venue that was equal or would surpass the Thomas A Robinson National Stadium so

that they can provide the best opportunity for their players to excel.

“We are in contact with the formation of a Winter Baseball League, we are in talks with a number of colleges coming here to participate and we know that we will have a senior league for our young men here to participate in,” Burrows Sr said.

“The former government was big on sports tourism and this

Bradley holds off Rose in playoff to win at Aronimink

By DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. (AP) — Keegan Bradley had bottomed out, crashing from the high of winning the PGA Championship to tumbling out of the top 100 in the world.

His chances to represent US teams in international play had dried up, his preferred putting method was banned, and the confidence that once put him on the cusp of greatness was shot.

“It’s scary when I look back, because I didn’t know I needed this much improvement,” Bradley said.

He was like a scientist in the lab, changing his swing, his putting stroke, his fundamentals — investing in the work needed to get to where he was yesterday on soggy Aronimink: going head-to-head in a suddendeath playoff against the new No. 1 player in the world, Justin Rose.

For a player who had to reinvent his game, the clutch moment didn’t seem so scary.

Bradley topped Rose with a par on the first playoff hole to win the rain-plagued BMW Championship for his first PGA Tour victory in six years.

Bradley’s fourth career win meant a bit more than the others — yes, even the major he won in 2011 — because he held more than a trophy and a $1.62 million check. He also got to give his young son Logan a victory toss in the air on the 18th green for the first time.

Bradley, who shot a final round 6-under 64 to finish at 20-under 260, thrust his arms toward the gray sky and drizzle in celebration and waved his family toward him to bring them in for a lengthy embrace.

“I’ve won before, and I win and I finish, and I go home, just me,” Bradley said. “Now, I get to go back and we get to have fun and enjoy it together. It’s just a completely different experience.”

Rose left Aronimink with a new reality as well.

Though he was runner-up at the FedEx Cup playoff event, he didn’t come up short in the world ranking. Rose moved No. 1 in the world ahead of Dustin Johnson and became the 22nd player to reach the top spot since the ranking began in 1986.

Rose could have won in regulation, but his 16-foot par putt on the final hole lipped out to force the playoff.

He fell short again in the playoff, missing a 5-foot par putt that would have kept him alive. The 38-year-old Rose had grown to love suburban Philadelphia golf courses with wins at the 2010 AT&T National at Aronimink and the 2013 US Open at Merion.

He didn’t get a trophy on this trip. But a No. 1 ranking will do for Rose, who joins Nick Faldo, Lee Westwood and Luke Donald as the only Englishmen to reach the top spot. He is the No. 2 seed behind Bryson DeChambeau among the

top 30 who advance to the Tour Championship starting September 20 at East Lake in Atlanta, giving him a clear shot at the $10 million prize.

“I’m delighted to be world No. 1,” Rose said.

“Boyhood dreams, you know what I mean ?”

Bradley also had a number in mind — 30. He started the week at No. 52 and needed to crack the top 30 to be eligible for East Lake.

“A lot has happened to me over these six years,” Bradley said.

“I kind of fell off the radar there for a little while.

It’s tough to go from being on Ryder Cup teams, being on Presidents Cup teams to being outside the top 100 in the world.”

Bradley, who birdied the 16th and 17th holes to storm up the leaderboard, finished with his fourth career victory and first since the 2012 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. He gets a trip to Maui to start next year for the winners-only Sentry Tournament of Champions.

“I was watching the leaderboard pretty closely. I don’t normally,” he said. “It made me feel calm, which is rare. That was good.”

Bradley had to wait nearly two days before chasing down Rose. Rain soaked the course on Sunday, cancelling play and forcing yesterday’s finish.

It rained only lightly on Monday and players had few complaints about the condition of the course, even if the walking paths became a muddy, soggy mess for the gallery.

As usual, it crowded around Tiger Woods.

Woods caused some more noise — he’s been doing that a lot in recent months before the largest galleries at every course — and got within one shot of the lead when he birdied the par-5 ninth to go out in 31.

But he missed the green on 10 and made bogey. He found a bunker on the par-3 14th for another bogey.

And this was the kind of day when more than one mistake was going to be costly. Woods wound up

with a 65 and finished three shots back.

Such was the scoring at Aronimink that Woods had a 72-hole score of 263 for the sixth time of his career.

The other five times he won; this one got him a tie for sixth.

“I thought I needed to shoot something around 62 today to have a chance,” Woods said.

“And I don’t think that would have been good enough.”

Turns out, a 62 would have put him in the playoff.

Woods took away any suspense about getting back to the Tour Championship for the first time since 2013.

That was about the time he was just starting to cope with back pain.

He had his fourth back surgery in April of last year, and at this time last year he had just been cleared to chip and putt.

“To say that I made it back to the Tour Championship after what I’ve been through is a pretty good accomplishment,” Woods said.

Jordan Spieth will not be joining him. Spieth started 27th in the FedEx Cup standings and took a step backward, finishing with a 73 to tie for 55th. He fell out of the top 30 and will miss the Tour Championship for the first time.

That means he will have played only 24 tournaments this season. Because he didn’t add to his schedule a tournament he had not played in the last four years, he is in violation of the PGA Tour’s scheduling policy.

Still to be determined is the penalty. Spieth is the first player to violate the policy, which began last year.

“I obviously accept whatever fine it is and move on and try and add one every year, but it’s kind of tough,” Spieth said.

Bradley and Xander Schauffele, who finished one shot out of the playoff, moved into the top 30 to qualify for East Lake, and Emiliano Grillo joined Spieth as the two players who fell out.

Jazz Chisholm and Rawhide in championship

By RENALDO DORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net JAZZ Chisholm and his Visalia Rawhide are on their way to the the California League Championship series in the MiLB’s Single A-Advanced California League.

The Rawhide closed out a fivegame series with a 3-0 win over the Stockton Ports Sunday night at Banner Island Ballpark in Stockton California.

Chisholm went 0-4 in the finale, but the Rawhide got all the offence they needed in the first inning when Daulton Varsho hit a three-run homer.

The Ports were blanked for the 15th time this season, while the Rawhide’s staff recorded their 12th shutout of the year.

Chisholm hit 3-19 for the series including one home run and four RBI. He went 1-5 with a run scored in a 5-3 game one win for the Rawhide and 1-3 with a run scored in an 8-7 game two loss.

Lucius Fox and Biscuits eliminated in semi-finals

Cowboy Nation, first let’s get rid of Linehan’s lacklustre offence ASAP ATTENTION Dallas Cowboys fans here in the Bahamas, we can’t be delusional any longer, at present we are a bad football team.

The situation is fixable however, at this very moment, considering what I saw in the season opener in Carolina against the Panthers on Sunday - an 8-8 record this season would be amazing in my opinion.

NO MORE EXCUSES No longer can we blame the defence and use them as a scapegoat to let an underachieving, lacklustre offence off the hook.

What ales us is a stagnant, bland, unimaginative offensive unit, headed up offensive coordinator Scott Linehan.

The first part of the remedy is showing Linehan the door ASAP. Linehan has been given numerous opportunities to make it happen on the offensive side of the football.

Despite a few minuscule moments of brilliance, the majority of the time Cowboys fans have had to witness the alarmingly predictable play calling that led to opposing defences calling out the Cowboys’ plays on the field.

Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant echoed the same sentiments on his way out of town.

In fact, blaming the downturn of his career on Linehan and his ‘vanilla’ predictable play calling.

STOP DEFENDING MEDIOCRITY Surprisingly, the Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett and the Cowboys have given Linehan more power than ever this offseason, leading to the headline decision to move on from All-Pro wide receiver Dez Bryant. The team has been built more

SCOTT LINEHAN “Dak-friendly” (referring to QB Dak Prescott) who, by the way, was handpicked and drafted by Linehan. I think Bryant’s departure had more to do with Bryant offering public criticism regarding Linehan and the offensive scheme. Along with the remarks concerning Linehan’s unwillingness to adjust or change.

Now coincidentally, months after Bryant’s release, Linehan admitted the offence was too limited last season, basically repeating Bryant’s original point entirely.

SOMETIMES CHANGE IS GOOD Linehan’s failure to adjust both in game and post game also cost the Cowboys several games last season, often having the lead going into the half, only to be blitzkrieged in the third quarter.

And it only appears to be getting worse this year.In the season opener

in Carolina the defence played lights out, sacking Panthers QB Cam Newton three times, forcing him into an outing worse than Prescott’s and holding the Panthers’ offence to a 33 per cent third-down conversion rate while also forcing a key red-zone turnover.

Unlike the defence, Linehan’s offence was clearly missing in action on Sunday.

The last four regular season outings have seen the team now register an average of only 11.5 points per game. If that’s not a red flag, I don’t know what else is. Enough is enough!

THE CAT’S GOT YOUR TONGUE Linehan had nothing to say following the Cowboys’ sickening offensive display against the Panthers.

Maybe Linehan knows, we the loyal Cowboy fans have heard enough from him already, we’ve also seen enough of his ineptness!

BYE FELICIA It’s time for Linehan and his passive playbook to exit stage left, and a young innovative, dynamic, offensive mind brought in to salvage the offence.

Rays among players still listed with rookie eligibility.

“Fox is a top-flight athlete with plus-plus speed and three more tools that should be at least solid.

The switch-hitter profiles as a future leadoff-type hitter, as he employs a solid approach, produces line-drive contact from both sides of the plate and knows how to use his impressive wheels once on base.

“Fox won’t offer much in the way of over-the-fence power, but he does have some strength and can drive some balls to the gaps, making him a source of doubles and triples,” MLB Prospect Watch said.

“Fox’s range, quick hands, and arm fit easily at shortstop, though, like any young shortstop, he needs to fine-tune his game and learn the nuances of the position. Some scouts don’t love his middle-infield actions and think he’ll fit better in centre field, though the Rays believe he can stay at short, lauding his super athleticism and ability to learn quickly.”

VERLANDER SALUTED BACK AT COMERICA, ASTROS BEAT TIGERS 3-2

By DAVE HOGG Associated Press DETROIT (AP) — Justin Verlander knew this would be one of the most emotional games of his major league career.

He still wasn’t prepared.

In his return to Detroit, Verlander received three standing ovations while pitching the Houston Astros to a 3-2 victory over the Tigers last night.

Verlander (15-9) made his major league debut with the Tigers in 2005 and ranks among the top 10 on several of the team’s career lists.

He struck out 10 over seven innings in his first time on the Comerica Park mound since being traded to Houston in August 2017.

“Our hotel is right near my old house, so I got to spend some time in the neighborhood today,” he said.

“I was trying to keep my routine as much as possible.”

That hope ended early, as the scoreboard played a tribute video as Verlander was walking in from the bullpen after his pregame warmups. He stopped, alone in shallow right-centre field, and watched the entire show.

“It was almost normal until the tribute video, but that really got to me,” he said. “I had a lot of great memories in my 13 years here, and that brought it all back. I wanted to get to the dugout before it started, but once it started playing, I had to watch.”

Verlander received his first ovation at the end of the video, and another when he came out for the first inning. Each time, he tipped his cap and waved to the fans.

‘Long distance king’ Oneil Williams wins 13-mile exhibition FROM PAGE 1 Williams quipped. “But, at the end of the day, he proved that he was the best man. He got away after we went over the second bridge and he started to open up the gap. I tried to conserve my energy because I know once you go down, you have to come back.”

Mackey Williams said if Oneil Williams is in town, they will attempt to put on another exhibition run in a month or two.

Collie, who trailed the two, said it was good to get in the workout as he’s slowly getting back in shape.

“I appreciate it and hopefully this will be a wake-up call for me as I get closer to Marathon Bahamas,” Collie stated. “They woke up the sleeping giant in me, so it’s going to be crazy going into Marathon Bahamas.

“I was also trying to preserve some of my energy, hoping that they would break up, but they surprised me and they continued.

I realised that I was in trouble and I couldn’t do anything. I shouldn’t have let them go on the first two bridges.”

SHOWN (l-r) in both photos are Mackey Williams, Oneil Williams and Sidney Collie after the estimated 13-mile exhibition run on Saturday.

Collie, 39, thanked God for allowing them to all make it through the run and he indicated

that he too is hoping for a rematch where they can really show “who is the best man standing.”

The three runners are also contemplating competing in the Road Masters Midnight Half Marathon

run in November, which they hope to use as a warm-up for Marathon Bahamas in January.

Burrows Sr calling on government to clarify cost of national baseball stadium FROM PAGE 1 baseball stadium spoke to that. When this (Free National Movement) government could say that ‘we will never pay for it,’ we have to look at these things from a different lens and not be selfish in our approach.”

As the founder of the Freedom Farm Baseball League in Yamacraw, which has given birth to a number of local players who have gone on to excel at college and are now in the pro ranks, Burrows Sr said the Bahamas needs the facilities.

“I’ve heard someone told the Minister (of Works, Desmond Bannister) that the construction of the baseball stadium is turned

wrong,” Burrows Sr stated.

“Look at any diamond anywhere in the world.

“There is a circle and they have some fields that accompany them. Which one is turned wrong?

That doesn’t make sense to me. That and the cost controversy is just confusing the people. We need these facilities in order for us to further develop our players.”

When the stadium was first conceived, Burrows Sr said he was a part of the initial committee that worked along with architect Michael Foster to create the plans.

“When I was in the government as a baseball executive, the onus was on me not to push it,” Burrows said. “So with me being a part of the PLP, I thought

it was in my best interest to push the project further to the point where we have a new stadium.”

By putting the project on hold over the last few months since the change in government, Burrows Sr said the construction has been pushed down and that has increased the price drastically.

“The whole stadium, called the super structure, is here.

“They were shipped from the company called Dant Clayton that we engaged to build it from Louisville, Kentucky as we needed them to place them on the structure. I don’t know what all is left, but they sent out the parts as they were needed. It’s my understanding that all of the stuff is paid for, so as they called

for them, they will have them.”

Originally, Burrows Sr said the plans called for the construction of three extra fields that would have been extended from the new baseball stadium to the three softball fields that are occupied by the Bahamas Government Slowpitch League.

“The reason why we fought to have it constructed where it is now is because of many reasons,” Burrows Sr said. “We could then have access to the parking of the stadium if we have any major event. In the masterplan, right across the street where the golf course is, there was supposed to be a small hotel so that it could be used as a games village. The plan was to refurbish the home strip

that would include the current softball stadium.”

Burrows Sr, however, said they had also planned to construct a new national softball stadium at the end of the strip of land. In the event of any major competition, Burrows Sr said the baseball and softball stadiums could be transformed to accommodate whichever sport is being played at the time.

“You take a softball field and you put in a portable mound and it becomes a Little League Baseball Field where you can accommodate any size tournament,” Burrows Sr stated.

“We would have done the same thing with the baseball field if softball had a huge tournament to be played there. The lack

of vision is what is bothering me and the information that the minister is receiving is not what he should be getting. It might have cost a little more, but in the long run, we envision that it would have paid off itself because of the use of the facilities that we would have engaged in the use of it.”

Munnings confirmed that the Ministry of Works is overseeing the work on the stadium. However, he said he could not give a figure they have worked out with Woslee Construction, the local company that is in charge of the construction of the stadium.

Munnings did indicate that the stadium is expected to be completed in a 12-14 month period, barring any further delays.

Big 3 back to Nos. 1-2-3, Osaka at No. 7 after US Open title

By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer NEW YORK (AP) — The Big 3 is once again 1-2-3.

Novak Djokovic’s U.S. Open title moved him up three spots to No. 3 in the ATP rankings Monday, behind Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, making that trio the top three for the first time in 3½ years.

Naomi Osaka jumped 12 places to a career-high No. 7 in the WTA standings thanks to her first Grand Slam title. The runner-up, Serena Williams, is back in the top 20 at No. 16, after being No. 26 before the U.S. Open — and outside the top 400 as recently as May, following the former No. 1’s time away because she had a baby.

Djokovic’s rise from No. 6 thanks to claiming his 14th Grand Slam title continues his own steady progress in recent months. After having elbow surgery in February and starting the season 6-6, he fell to No. 22 in May, his first time out of the top 20 since 2006.

But with consecutive major trophies at Wimbledon and Flushing Meadows, where he beat Juan Martin del Potro in straight sets in Sunday’s final, Djokovic returns to the top three after being out of that range since June 2017. He can

also take aim at trying to finish the season at No. 1, something he did in 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2015.

“Now we can expect him to really challenge to be No. 1 by end of the year,” said Djokovic’s coach, Marian Vajda. “But it’s still far away.”

Nadal stayed at No. 1 despite retiring from his semifinal last week, and Federer remained No. 2 after a fourth-round loss in New York. Nadal, Federer and Djokovic last occupied the top three spots in the rankings in April 2015.

They are also atop another important ranking: most career Grand Slam titles by a man.

Federer holds the record of 20, followed by Nadal with 17, and Djokovic, who equaled Pete Sampras at 14.

Some strong showings at the U.S. Open helped several men achieve career-best rankings, including Borna Coric to No. 18, Karen Khachanov to No. 25 and John Millman — who upset Federer — to No. 37.

Osaka’s top-10 debut makes her the highest-ranked Japanese woman since Kimiko Date in October 1996.

Also marking a career-best ranking Monday is Caroline Garcia, who rose to No. 4, the highest for a

spot even though she became the first No. 1 seed to lose in the first round of the U.S. Open, and Caroline Wozniacki stayed at No. 2 after her second-round exit.

Angelique Kerber went from No. 4 to No. 3.

PORTUGAL ADDS TO ITALY’S STRUGGLES WITH NATIONS LEAGUE WIN

By TALES AZZONI AP Sports Writer MADRID (AP) — As Cristiano Ronaldo enjoyed his time off at the French Riviera, his Portugal teammates were busy handing Italy another disappointing result in the UEFA Nations League.

Portugal did not need Ronaldo — who skipped international duty to recharge after a busy summer — to beat Italy 1-0 in Europe’s newest soccer competition. Elsewhere, Turkey mounted

a remarkable comeback from two goals down against Sweden, while Kosovo made history with its first competitive win since being admitted to UEFA in 2016.

The European champions easily outplayed Italy, which had opened its Nations League campaign with a disappointing 1-1 home draw against Poland in its first competitive match under coach Roberto Mancini.

“We must be more effective in attack,” Mancini said. “We must find

GIROUD’S STUNNING STRIKE GIVES FRANCE 1ST NATIONS LEAGUE WIN

solutions and be able to score goals.”

Andre Silva scored on a counterattack early in the second half to give Portugal the Group 3 win in the top-tier League A. The hosts had several chances to extend their lead at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, while Italy created little and relied mostly on set pieces.

“It was a fair result, we played better throughout the match,” said Portugal coach Fernando Santos, who led his team to its ninth straight home win.

“Only in the final 10 minutes we slowed our pace a bit and that allowed Italy to grow.”

The Nations League gives UEFA’s 55 member countries competitive games and eliminates friendlies. The winners of the League A groups — featuring the highestranked countries — go into a final-four competition in June. Santos did not call up Ronaldo after talking to the player and saying he needed more rest following the World Cup and his transfer from Real Madrid

to Juventus. Ronaldo also didn’t play in the team’s 1-1 draw in a friendly against Croatia last week.

Social media photos showed Ronaldo and his family enjoying time off in Monaco in recent days.It was Italy’s second competitive match since last year’s World Cup playoff loss to Sweden.

“There is work to do,” Italy midfielder Giacomo Bonaventura said.

“We wanted to threaten them but we didn’t manage it and we’re really disappointed.”

GENEVA (AP) — It took a stunning goal for World Cup champion France to get its first win in international soccer’s newest competition on Sunday.

Not from superstar Kylian Mbappe — who did tap in the first goal of France’s 2-1 win over the Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League game — and not from Antoine Griezmann or Paul Pogba, as France fielded all 10 outfield starters from the World Cup final.

Instead, Olivier Giroud, with one thunderous leftfoot volley in the 75th minute at Stade de France, matched his entire tally of on-target efforts during seven games in Russia.

The Chelsea forward’s first goal in 11 games for France was his 32nd for Les Bleus — one more than Zinedine Zidane.

Elsewhere in the Nations League, Denmark’s star players returned after a brief strike to beat Wales 2-0, and Georgia and Macedonia both won again to suggest they could be the fourth-tier underdog using a complex competition format to help qualify for the 2020 European Championship.

UEFA launched the Nations League to give all its 55 member countries winnable competitive games and eliminate often disliked and mostly worthless friendly games.

GOVERNING BODY DEFENDS UMPIRE AFTER SERENA WILLIAMS FLAP LONDON (AP) — The International Tennis Federation is defending the chair umpire who gave Serena Williams three code violations during the US Open final, saying his “decisions were in accordance with the relevant rules.”

Williams was cited by Carlos Ramos three times Saturday during her 6-2, 6-4 loss to Naomi Osaka: for getting coaching signals; for breaking her racket, which cost her a point; and for calling Ramos a thief, which cost her a game.

On Sunday, the tournament referee docked Williams $10,000 for “verbal abuse” of the chair umpire, $4,000 for being warned for coaching and $3,000 for breaking her racket.

The ITF said in a statement yesterday that Ramos’ citations were “reaffirmed by the US Open’s decision to fine Serena Williams for the three offences.”

The governing body of tennis added that: “Ramos undertook his duties as an official according to the relevant rule book and acted at all times with professionalism and integrity.”
