HALL OF FAME: Former Murray State Olympian added to USA Shooting Hall of Fame. | 2B

LONDON — No. 1-seeded Novak Djokovic and No. 2 Andy Murray have yet to lose a set, let alone a match, so far at Wimbledon.

The way things have been going at the All England Club this fort-night, that’s quite an accomplish-ment.

Rafael Nadal, a 12-time Grand Slam champion, was beaten in the fi rst round. Roger Federer, owner of a record 17 major titles, went out in the second, as did four-time major champ Maria Sharapova. Five-time Wimbledon winner Serena Williams’ 34-match win-ning streak ended in the fourth round.

And on and on it’s gone, with no top-20 player other than Mur-ray left on his side of the draw, and a record-equaling number of withdrawals or mid-match re-tirements because of health prob-lems.

“Everyone was a bit on edge, a little bit uptight,” reigning U.S. Open champion Murray acknowl-edged, “because of what was hap-pening with the injuries, with-drawals, upsets and stuff.”

He and Djokovic have made it all look so routine, though, head-ing into the men’s quarterfi nals Wednesday.

LONDON — If Sabine Lisicki had a letdown after defeating Ser-ena Williams, it didn’t show.

If Lisicki is penciling herself into the Wimbledon fi nal, she isn’t saying.

Showing no drop-off after her dramatic victory over Williams, the 23rd-seeded Lisicki returned Tuesday and made quick work of a much less intimidating oppo-nent, 46th-ranked Kaia Kanepi, dispatching her 6-3, 6-3 in 65 minutes to advance to her second career Wimbledon semifi nal.

“I was ready today,” Lisicki said. “I knew from the past, out of experience, that I needed to make the switch quickly to be ready, and that’s what I did.”

Indeed. Lisicki opened the match by breaking Kanepi’s serve in the fi rst game and didn’t look back in that set. In the second, she had one hiccup — a game in which she double-faulted three times to drop a break and fall behind 2-1. She broke back right away, how-ever, and won four of the next fi ve games to close the match.

Now, the 23-year-old German fi nds herself in the Wimbledon semifi nals for the second time in three years. Her win against Wil-liams made her the new, odds-on favorite to win the title and even pushed Britain’s favorite tennis player, Andy Murray, off the back pages of a couple London tab-loids.

All of which means almost noth-ing — at least to hear Lisicki tell it.

“Match by match,” she said. “Did that from the start and will continue to do that.”

Her next opponent is No. 4 Ag-nieszka Radwanska, who defeat-

ed No. 6 Li Na 7-6 (5), 4-6, 6-2 in a match that took more than 3½ hours to complete and included two rain delays, an injury timeout and a fi nal game that lasted more than 10 minutes.

The other semifi nal will pit No. 15 Marion Bartoli of France against No. 20 Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium.

Flipkens beat eighth-seeded Petra Kvitova 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 to knock the last remaining Grand Slam tournament winner out of the draw. Flipkens won her fi rst career Grand Slam quarterfi nal, continuing quite a comeback from health problems that dropped her to No. 262 last year, not even eli-gible for the Wimbledon qualify-ing tournament.

While Flipkens was winning, one of Belgium’s best, Kim Cli-jsters was at home in America watching.

“Still drying my eyes,” Clijsters tweeted. “So proud of how (Flip-kens) handled the big occasion for the fi rst time!”

Flipkens, who was sidelined with blood clots in her legs, counts Clijsters among the few who believed in her when things got rough.

“The people believing in me, I can count on one hand,” she said. “It’s amazing.”

Bartoli eliminated the last re-maining American singles player, beating Sloane Stephens 6-4, 7-5 in a match halted with Stephens serving, down 5-4 at deuce. After the delay, Bartoli came out and won two points to secure the fi rst set. Soon after, she was showered with boos because she had asked the umpire to stop the match in

INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA publicly reprimanded Baylor coach Kim Mulkey and said she must sit out a national tourna-ment game for criticizing the offi -ciating following her team’s upset loss to Louisville last spring.

The NCAA said Mulkey will serve the suspension the next time her team advances to the March Madness tourney. It is also withholding Baylor’s team cham-pionship per diem from the re-gional round.

After Louisville knocked off top-seeded Baylor 82-81 in March,

Mulkey said the game was far too physical and she singled out the offi cials.

“I thought that all three of them, if they go past this round of offi ciating, it will be sad for the game,” she said then. “I thought the two critical calls at the end of the game were really bad.”

The NCAA said it was issuing a more severe penalty because Mulkey is a repeat offender: She was reprimanded in 2011 for criti-cizing the NCAA over the decision to put the Lady Bears in the same tournament bracket with Texas A&M, a team it had faced three

times already that season. The Aggies beat Baylor on their way to the national title.

The NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee said “the latest misconduct act by Mulkey” warranted the more stringent sus-pension.

“The committee unanimously felt that the behavior of Coach Mulkey was unacceptable and has no place in the women’s basket-ball championship,” said Caro-layne Henry, committee chair and senior associate commissioner for the Mountain West Conference.

Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey (right) talks to an official during an April 1 regional semifinal game against Louisville in the women’s NCAA tournament in Oklahoma City. The NCAA has given Mulkey a one-game suspension for criticizing the officiating following her team’s loss to Louisville in the national championship tournament earlier this year.

CINCINNATI — Homer Bailey threw his second no-hitter in 10 months and the fi rst in the majors this season, pitching the Cincin-nati Reds to a 3-0 victory over the slumping San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night.

Bailey (5-6) became the third Reds pitcher with more than one no-hitter, joining Jim Maloney and Johnny Vander Meer — still the only big leaguer to toss two in a row. Bailey beat the Pirates 1-0 in Pittsburgh last Sept. 28 and got

another 17 starts later.“Every dog has its day twice, I

guess,” Bailey said. “It felt good to do it front of the Cincinnati fans.”

The last pitcher to throw one no-hitter and then another before anyone else in the majors accom-plished the feat was Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan, according to STATS. Baseball’s career strikeout king did it for the California Angels on Sept. 28, 1974, against Minnesota, and June 1, 1975, vs. Baltimore.

Bailey grew up in Texas, just like Ryan, and wears No. 34 in tribute to his boyhood idol.

Justin Verlander, Mark Bueh-rle and Roy Halladay are the only other active pitchers with a pair of no-hitters.

Bailey walked Gregor Blanco leading off the seventh, the only Giants batter to reach base. First baseman Joey Votto alertly threw out Blanco as he tried to advance from second to third on a soft one-hopper that could have become an infi eld single for Buster Posey.

“Joey had a great heads-up play. I was almost a little late get-ting to the bag,” Bailey said.

With 27,509 fans on their feet

chanting “Homer! Homer!” Bailey fi nished it off. He jumped to glove Brandon Crawford’s high come-backer, struck out Tony Abreu and retired Blanco on a grounder to third baseman Todd Frazier.

It was the 16th no-hitter in Cin-cinnati history. No Reds pitcher had thrown a no-no at home since Tom Browning’s 1-0 perfect game against the Dodgers at Riverfront Stadium on Sept. 16, 1988.

Bailey became the third pitcher in the history of baseball’s fi rst professional franchise to get more than one. — AP

With the voting just over two months away, the bid-ding for the 2020 Olympics and the race for the IOC presidency are reaching a pivotal stage.

Both campaigns come together this week in Laus-anne as the three bid cities and six presidential can-didates make vital presentations to the voters — the 100-plus members of the International Olympic Com-mittee.

Istanbul, Madrid and Tokyo make their pitches to the IOC assembly on Wednesday, with the Turkish city having the most at stake following the wave of anti-government protests that swept the country. The presidential contenders present their platforms to the members on Thursday.

Both events could prove decisive going into the final weeks before the IOC session in Buenos Aires, Ar-gentina, where the members will vote by secret ballot for the host city on Sept. 7 and the new president on Sept. 10.

Murray State rifle All-America and Olympics cham-pion Pat Spurgin Pitney will be inducted into the USA Shooting Hall of Fame on Sept. 21 in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Pitney was with the Racers from 1983-87, where she won two team and two individual NCAA national championships. Her career was highlighted by winning the first-ever gold medal in women’s 10-meter air rifle at the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Pitney was also a four-time medal winner at the 1983 Pan-Am Games, is one of just three OVC Female Ath-letes of the Year in Murray State history and was an eight-time first-team All-American, claiming the honor in air rifle and small bore during all four years of her collegiate career.

Pitney of Billings, Mont., graduated from Murray State in 1987 with a degree in engineering physics and earned an MBA from Alaska Fairbanks in 1991.

The Racers’ home facility in the lower level of Roy Stewart Stadium has been dedicated in her honor as the Pat Spurgin Rifle Range.

MIAMI — Turning to make a pickoff throw, Jose Fernandez stumbled and fell, spiraling to the dirt like a human corkscrew as his throw went sailing for an embarrassing error.

The Miami Marlins rook-ie rose smiling. It’s easier to shrug off the occasional pratfall with a grin when you win, and after a humili-ating start this season, the Marlins have found their footing.

Miami began a trip this week far from fi rst, but no longer worst. After a 13-41 start that inspired com-parisons to the 1962 Mets and other historically awful teams, the Marlins reversed course with a 17-10 tear.

By beating San Diego for the third game in a row Monday, the Marlins climbed ahead of the Hous-ton Astros in the race to avoid baseball’s lousiest re-cord. With another 22 vic-tories in a row, the Marlins would be above .500. They might even win more games this year than the Miami Heat — in the regular sea-son, at least.

“Winning’s way better than losing,” fi rst base-man Logan Morrison said.

“Somebody who’s pretty wise once said that.”

The Marlins’ miserable start, worst-in-the-majors attendance and $37 million payroll has made them easy to overlook. But with an abundance of young talent, the winning might just be beginning.

The 20-year-old Fernan-dez briefl y looked like a rookie making his clumsy pickoff move Monday, but with 94 strikeouts and an ERA of 2.72, he might be bound for the All-Star

Game. Or perhaps the Mar-lins’ representative will be 22-year-old rookie center fi elder Marcell Ozuna, who leads the team in hits even though he spent the fi rst month of the season in Double-A.

Rookie infi elders Derek Dietrich and Ed Lucas were called up in May to further revive a feeble offense, and rookie shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria has played Gold Glove-caliber defense.

“We’ve had some chang-es defi nitely for the good,”

outfi elder Justin Ruggiano said. ‘It’s fun coming to the ballpark. Every game we feel like we can win.”

There have been young reinforcements for the ro-tation, too. Jacob Turner, a 22-year-old right-hander, started the season in Tri-ple-A after a disappointing spring but has regained his command and gone 2-0 with a 1.76 ERA in six starts, including a complete game Saturday. Nate Eovaldi, a 23-year-old right-hander, is 1-0 with a 2.00 ERA in three starts after missing the fi rst part of the season because of shoulder infl am-mation.

The trio of Fernandez, Turner and Eovaldi form the foundation of a rotation that thrifty owner Jeffrey Loria considers ideal — tal-ented but cheap.

“That group of young pitchers is impressive,” Pa-dres manager Bud Black said. “The Marlins have got to be real happy with those guys.”

The rotation becomes even younger when 23-year-old Henderson Al-varez makes his 2013 debut Thursday in Atlanta after being sidelined by shoulder infl ammation.

Marlins see more winning aheadBY STEVEN WINE

Miami Marlins manager Mike Redmond argues with umpires about a double play on Monday in Miami. After a 13-41 start this season, the Marlins are on a 17-10 tear.

the fi rst set when it started sprinkling on Court 1.

“I didn’t really get why the crowd was so against me at that point,” Bartoli said. “Already, the courts were a bit slippery even when it’s dry. When it’s wet, it can get dangerous. I didn’t want to stop the match for no rea-son. It was a precaution.”

Stephens said it would have been nice to fi n-ish the game before the break, which lasted about 2½ hours.This is Bartoli’s deepest trip at a Grand Slam since the 2011 French Open and her deepest trip at Wimbledon since 2007, when she lost to Venus Wil-liams in what remains her only Grand Slam fi nal.

Meanwhile, Radwanska moved one win from her second straight Wimbledon fi nal, putting Li away on the eighth match point. Rad-wanska called for a medical timeout after the second set so a trainer could work on her right thigh. Up 5-2 in the third set, she called for the trainer again for a quick treatment on both legs.

With Radwanska advanc-ing, Poland is guaranteed a semifi nalist in both the men’s and women’s draws.

WOMEN

CONTINUED FROM 1B

On the top half of the bracket, Djokovic — a six-time Grand Slam titlist and the only remaining past Wimbledon winner — will face No. 7 Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic, the 2010 runner-up. No. 4 Da-vid Ferrer of Spain plays No. 8 Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina, the 2009 U.S. Open champion and the third man who hasn’t dropped a set through four matches.

On the bottom half, it will be Murray against 54th-ranked Fernando Ver-dasco of Spain, and No. 24 Jerzy Janowicz against his Davis Cup teammate and pal, 130th-ranked Lukasz Kubot, in a match between the fi rst two Polish men to reach a Grand Slam quar-terfi nal since 1980.

“Magical,” Janowicz said.Janowicz and Kubot will

be playing in the quarter-fi nals at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament for the fi rst time, as will Ver-dasco and del Potro. Ferrer lost at that stage last year.

The other three have much more solid Wimble-

don bona fi des: Murray (2012) and Berdych (2010) have been the runner-up, while Djokovic won the title in 2011.

“I feel good about myself in this moment. I think I actually play a better tennis on grass than I played two years ago, when I won this tournament,” said Djokov-ic, who never before had won every set he played in fi ve previous trips to the Wimbledon quarterfi nals. “For now, I’m feeling good. I’m No. 1 of the world. I have no reason to be con-cerned about my game.”

He is bidding to reach the semifi nals for a 13th con-secutive Slam, the second-longest streak in men’s tennis history, behind only Federer’s 23-semifi nal run.

Djokovic has played in seven of the last 10 major fi nals, and he’s combined with Federer and Nadal to win 31 of the past 33 tro-phies.

The only other men in

those eight-plus years to win a Grand Slam title were Murray and del Potro. Mur-ray has elbowed his way into the upper echelon, turning the Federer-Nadal-Djokovic Big 3 into a Big 4 lately, participating in the fi nals of the last three major tournaments he entered (he missed this year’s French Open with a bad back).

Murray memorably broke down in tears while ad-dressing the Centre Court crowd after losing last year’s championship match at Wimbledon to Federer. Murray was the fi rst British man to reach the fi nal since 1938 and fell one win short of giving the country its fi rst male champion at Wimble-don since Fred Perry in 1936.

Said Murray that day, his voice cracking: “I’m getting closer.”

He was, indeed.A month later, in the

same arena, he defeated Fe-derer for a gold medal at the

London Olympics.And then, in September,

Murray edged Djokovic in fi ve sets at Flushing Mead-ows to snap an 0-4 drought in Grand Slam fi nals. He followed that up by getting to the Australian Open fi nal in January, only to lose to Djokovic.

“You do learn a lot from losing. I’d lost enough big matches to want to win one and learn from how I man-aged to win a major event,” Murray said. “The one thing I would say from having experienced it is just I kept trying to work harder and harder, try and keep im-proving my game from loss-es. That’s why I eventually managed to sort of get over that fi nal hurdle.”

He has won 15 matches in a row, and 21 of his past 22, on grass courts, going into Wednesday against Verdas-co, a former top-10 player whose only major semifi nal came at the 2009 Austra-lian Open. — AP

OMAHA, Neb. — The NCAA awarded Creighton’s Grant Gibbs a sixth season of eligibility on Tuesday — a decision that could end up costing coach Greg McDer-mott tens of thousands of dollars.

That’s because McDer-mott’s son — two-time fi rst-team All-American Doug McDermott — probably will have to play his fi nal sea-son as a walk-on to free up a scholarship for Gibbs.

Greg McDermott said Doug will become a walk-on if all 13 scholarship players show up for the fi rst day of classes Aug. 21. The coach, whose salary is not disclosed by the private school, is en-tering his fourth season at Creighton. As a university employee, he would qualify for a tuition discount for his

children if he were at the school for fi ve years.

Full price for tuition, room and board is $44,000, ac-cording to Creighton’s web-site.

“I have the fl exibility to do that,” Greg McDermott said of making his son a walk-on, “and obviously to bring Grant back is certainly worth that.”

The return of Gibbs strengthens the Bluejays for their fi rst season in the Big East. The 6-foot-5 guard led the Missouri Valley Confer-ence in assists each of the last two seasons. Creighton is 57-14 and reached the NCAA tournament twice with Gibbs in the lineup.

Doug McDermott had been projected to be a late fi rst- or early second-round pick in the NBA draft before he announced in April that he would return to Creigh-ton for his senior year. He’s now playing for Team USA in the World University Games and will be a leading contender for preseason Big East player of the year.

Gibbs, a close friend of Doug McDermott, joked that it will be entertaining to see his buddy live the life of a walk-on next season.

“He’s going to be carrying

bags and doing all that kind of stuff,” a smiling Gibbs said. “He’ll have to handle that. That’ll be a different sit-uation for him. I think he’ll probably be the best walk-on in America. We’ll see.”

Doug McDermott sent a congratulatory text to Gibbs from Turkey on Tuesday morning. The gist of the message: “We’re getting the band back together,” Gibbs said. — AP

Creighton basketball players Grant Gibbs (left) and Doug McDermott share a light moment during a Selec-tion Sunday viewing party on March 17 in Omaha, Neb. On Tuesday the NCAA awarded Gibbs a sixth season of eligibility, a decision that could cost McDermott his scholarship for his final season.

Davis Sims’ bases-load-ed double in the bottom of the seventh drove in three runs and completed a big comeback for Paducah Post 31 in a 7-6 triumph over Vero Beach (Fla.) in American Legion baseball action at Brooks Stadium on Tuesday.

Vero Beach led 6-0 af-ter fi ve innings, but Chief Paduke rallied for three runs in the sixth and the fi nal four in the seventh.

Sims also doubled ear-lier in the game, fi nish-ing 2-for-4 with four RBI. Colby Griggs went 3-for-3 with one RBI and fi nishing a home run shy of hitting for the cycle.
