Bergbau » season.Its a great start to a tough week for us, Staley

Serena Williams dominating third-round victory at the US Open was notable for a new career milestone: 307 Grand Slam wins.Williams 6-2, 6-1 win over 47th-ranked Johanna Larsson of Sweden improved her major-tournament mark to 307-42, putting her one win up on Martina Navratilova among women and tying Roger Federer among all players in the Open era.Appearing in a day match for the first time at this years tournament in New York, Williams wore a new white outfit that made a fashion statement with bold, pink sleeves. In her postmatch interview, she called them her Wonder Woman sleeves.I feel this design, in particular, really is kind of like a superhero design, Williams said. Like a really powerful, strong character that is strong, but yet isnt afraid to be soft at the same time.Williams lived up to that nickname, with no sign of a right shoulder problem that had hampered her leading into the tournament.Definitely feels solid, Williams said.Williams reached 121 mph on a serve. She had a half-dozen aces, bringing her total this week to 31. She faced only one break point -- her first of the tournament -- and saved it. She smacked seven return winners. She compiled a 24-5 total edge in winners in a match that lasted just one hour.Tennis-wise, I think it was very satisfying in all aspects. Its not perfect, of course, said her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou. But for someone who didnt play much matches in the last two months, I think shes competitive.Now theres an understatement.There is no pain. Maybe she feels a little. I dont know; Im not in her shoulder. But I see she plays normal. She serves normal. At practice, she serves the quantity that we usually do, full power, Mouratoglou said. So I dont see any problem. And she doesnt even talk about it. I know its under control now.That sounds like bad news for upcoming opponents, starting with 52nd-ranked Yaroslava Shvedova, who advanced to the round of 16 in New York for the first time by beating Zhang Shuai 6-2, 7-5.Williams is 4-0 against Shvedova, taking eight of nine sets. Shvedova is best known for the first golden set in the Open era, which began in 1968: She won all 24 points of the first set in a victory over Sara Errani at Wimbledon in 2012, one match before a three-set loss to Williams there.Shes a good player. Shes dangerous, Mouratoglou said about Shvedova. But I think Serena is even more dangerous.Larsson would probably agree.She was surprised by the variety Williams displayed Saturday, especially with some heavy-spin, high-bouncing strokes.Youre out there, youre trying to find ways to win, Larsson said, but sometimes, its just not happening.Meanwhile, Venus Williams closed in on a US Open rematch against her sister, moving into the fourth round with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over 26th-seeded Laura Siegemund.The No. 6-seeded Williams broke Siegemund six of the eight times she served and won despite producing only 11 winners Saturday night.Venus Williams owns seven Grand Slam titles, including two at Flushing Meadows. At 36, she was the oldest woman in the field.If she and younger sister Serena each win twice more, they would play each other in the semifinals. A year ago, Serena beat Venus in the quarterfinals.Also on the womens side, fifth-seeded Simona Halep smashed her racket in frustration en route to a 6-1, 2-6, 6-4 victory over 34th-ranked Timea Babos.Halep, a semifinalist at Flushing Meadows a year ago, rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the deciding set and appeared to struggle with the power of the big-serving Hungarian, who blasted five aces and 25 total winners.Halep threw down, and apparently cracked, her racket after losing a point late in the final set. It all ended just a few points later when Babos double-faulted on match point.After the match, Halep said she wasnt able to move well because of a back problem. She acknowledged she didnt play her best, saying, I dont know how I came back.Halep, whose best Grand Slam result was a run to the French Open final in 2014, next takes on 11th-seeded Carla Suarez Navarro for a spot in the quarterfinals.Suarez Navarro defeated 20th-seeded Elena Vesnina 6-4, 6-3, the third time she has reached the fourth round or better at Flushing Meadows.Her best result was a quarterfinal run in 2013, losing to eventual champion Serena Williams.Mondays other fourth-round womens matchups will be No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska vs. Ana Konjuh, and No. 10 Karolina Pliskova against Venus Williams.?The Associated Press contributed to this report.?

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- Dawn Staley knows her South Carolina team plays its best when the offense is balanced.The third-ranked Gamecocks did just that to rout No. 4 Louisville 83-59 on Sunday in the Basketball Hall of Fame womens challenge.Alaina Coates had 17 points and 14 rebounds while Aja Wilson and Allisha Gray also scored 17 points apiece for the Gamecocks (5-0), who turned a tight game into a blowout, using a 17-3 run spanning the half to take control.Were pretty balanced offensively. They did a good job of playing off our point guards, Staley said. Our post players are used to playing with each other.South Carolina led 39-32 when Kaela Davis hit consecutive 3-pointers to expand the advantage to double digits. Fellow transfer Allisha Gray then added a three-point play with 6:42 left in the third quarter that made it 48-32 and capped the burst.Louisville (6-1) could get only within 14 the rest of the way.Getting strong play from Davis and Gray helps the Gamecocks, as teams cant just focus on their talented post players.Its huge for us, Wilson said. Our guards knocking down shots on the outside, it helps open up the high-low. Thats our thing. When the guards are hitting the outside and moving, were looking good.Mariya Moore scored 17 and Asia Durr added 13 for the Cardinals, who had cruised through their first six games. ACC player of the year Myisha Hines-Allen was saddled by foul trouble all game and didnt score until early in the fourth quarter, when the game was already out of reach. She finished with just those two points.Even though we lost I think it was a great game, Moore said. We did a lot of great stuff and learned a lot of stuff for the future.The two teams got off to hot starts on offense and Louisville held a 20-18 lead after the first quarter. Foul trouble started mouunting for both squads, slowing down the pace.dddddddddddd The Gamecocks led 31-29 with 3:22 left before halftime and then scored the final six points before the break. The last three came when Coates saved a ball going out of bounds near midcourt, crashing into the announcers table. Mikiah Herbert Harrigan finished off the play with a basket and free throw to give the Gamecocks a 37-29 lead at the break.BIG PICTURESouth Carolina: This is the first game of a tough three-contest stretch, with games at Texas and Duke on the horizon. ...
