I always say, got to be able to handle make passing references to his various bona fides, pointing out before match, for example, that it would represent his sixth consecutive Grand Slam final. Or noting Monday that participated in 16 of the past 17 Grand Slam finals.

To some that might seem arrogant. But it if you can back it up. Which Federer keeps doing, at a remarkable rate: 14 majors were won over a span of 12 years; 15 have come in a six-year span. Against Roddick, Federer smacked a career-high 50 aces, but he had the toughest time trying to break the vaunted serve. Simply could- do it.

Federer was able to win the second and third sets thanks to tiebreakers, but Wimbledon unlike the U.S. Open use tiebreakers in fifth sets. So heading into that final set Sunday, Federer knew he had to break Roddick to win. played on my Federer said. into the fifth, I knew, this is not where a tiebreak is going to save me here, I knew I needed to break him eventually.

He gets a lot of credit for a lot of things, but not a lot of the time is how many matches he kind of digs deep and toughs assessment a day later was similar. had that will to win more than the champion said. what I think got me through in the He turns 28 next month in tennis is the way Federer put it. three years younger than Sampras was when he won his last major title in what turned out to be his last match as a professional, a victory over Andre Agassi in the 2002 U.S. Open final.

Federer long ago said he wanted to keep playing at least until the 2012 London Olympics, which will hold tennis competition at the All England Club. Now this added motivation to stick around the game he loves: His wife, Mirka, is pregnant, and they want their child to see Dad play on grandest stages. As Federer rose to leave Monday, he chatted about looking forward to fatherhood. And he mentioned his been spinning about far more important matters than Grand Slam titles and other things written down in record book. Yes, Roger Federer has been consulting a baby-name book.

Our practice sessions, hopefully do some good work and continue to build on what doing right The British Open is at Turnberry, a links course Woods has never seen. That be an issue, he had never been to Royal Liverpool in 2006 until dismantling the course to win by two at 18-under 270. He made it clear last week, however, that he needs all facets of his game to be working driving, iron play, chipping and putting to win a major because the Grand Slam events demand so much.

It looked plenty good to Kim. The 24-year-old from California, who used Woods as his role model growing up and practiced beating him with 10-foot putts, went from a one-shot lead to a three-shot deficit in a matter of four holes, and never caught up. It was their first time playing together, and Kim still finished higher than Woods in any event. have seen him dissect a golf Kim said. done it to perfection in many tournaments.

The left knee that caused Woods to miss the British Open and the second half of last year is no longer an issue. Woods said one reason he is driving the ball so well, which was evident at Congressional. Swing coach Hank Haney will travel to Orlando, this week to work with Woods.

The San Francisco Giants placed the left-hander on the 15-day disabled list Monday after he hurt himself on a swing Sunday.

Johnson, who last month became the 24th player in major league history to reach 300 career wins, felt something in his arm but initially tried to pitch through it. He then left his start after committing a throwing error in the top of the fourth inning against the Houston Astros. The 45-year-old Johnson (8-6) underwent an MRI exam Monday that revealed the strain. Johnson goes on DL with injured shoulder CHICAGO (AP) The Tribune Co. has reached a written agreement to sell the Chicago Cubs, Wrigley Field and other assets to the family of TD Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts for about $900 million, a person close to the negotiations said Monday.

With a savvy sense of the pack and a touch of luck, the 37-year-old Texan surprised some of the younger Tour de France contenders Monday to move within striking distance of the yellow jersey. He made up for what his legs lack in power with road smarts during the breezy third stage along the Mediterranean, rising from 10th to third place. Armstrong hitched a ride with a breakaway group led by old sidekick George Team Columbia. Mark Cavendish, a Columbia rider from Britain, won the stage for the second straight day. Race leader Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland kept the yellow jersey for a third day in a row.

The Swiss rider with Saxo Bank extended his lead and is ahead of Columbia rider Tony Martin of Germany by 33 seconds and Armstrong by 40. Most of the favorites were trapped by the wind during the 122-mile ride from Marseille to La Grande-Motte. Sensing the gusts were playing havoc ahead of a turn with about 18 miles to go, Armstrong simply stayed in front, outfoxing riders like Alberto Contador of Spain, the 2007 Tour winner and favorite this year. positioning, experience, a little bit of Armstrong said. before that corner I was 20 guys back and I decided just that idea to move up enough to be on their wheel.
