NADAL: Loss ended winning streak of 28 straight sets at majors
Continued from 1B
2015) or fourth round (2014,
2017).
All of those losses, except
Monday’s, came against men
ranked 100th or worse. The
34-year-old Muller is not
exactly a giant-killer: He had
lost 22 consecutive matches
against players in the top
five. And he’d only reached
a Grand Slam quarterfinal
once before, at the 2008 U.S.
Open.
Nadal said Muller’s
powerful serve and crisp
volleys make him “uncom-
fortable” to play.
Now Muller, who also
beat Nadal at Wimbledon
in 2005, will get a much-
needed chance to recover
before facing 2014 U.S.
Open champion Marin Cilic
in Wednesday’s quarterfinals.
Other men’s quarterfinals:
defending champion Andy
Murray against Sam Querrey
of the U.S., Roger Federer
against Milos Raonic, Tomas
Berdych against Novak
Djokovic or Adrian Manna-
rino. The Djokovic-Man-
narino fourth-rounder was
postponed until Tuesday; it
had been scheduled for No.
1 Court after Nadal-Muller
concluded.
But that duo played on
and on, past 8 p.m., when the
descending sun’s reflection
off the arena bothered Nadal
so much that he held up
action; chair umpire Ali Nili
asked spectators to stand in
the way and block the rays.
A few games later, Nili told
fans to stop doing the wave,
suggesting they wait for the
next changeover so play
could proceed.
Hours earlier came what
might be interpreted as a
bad omen for Nadal: Going
through his prematch rituals
on the way to the court, he
jumped up so high that he
banged his head on the door-
way’s transom. He staggered
back a bit, then tried to laugh
it off, before rubbing the top
of his head.
“Maybe that’s why the
first two sets I was winning
quite easy,” Muller joked.
“Maybe still a little bit
feeling dizzy.”
After all, until Monday,
Nadal hadn’t lost a Grand
Slam set since the fifth of
the Australian Open final
LITTLE LEAGUE: Hermiston places
second in Intermediate Baseball
Continued from 1B
INTERMEDIATE BASEBALL
GRANTS PASS — The
Hermiston all-stars placed
second at the Oregon Little
League State Tournament on
July 5.
Hermiston fell to Ashland
in the championship 21-10.
No details from the games
were available.
Hermiston had started its
tournament run with a 9-5 win
over Reynolds, then stomped
the host team Grants Pass
20-5 before running up against
Ashland for the first time.
That one went to Ashland
17-7, but Hermiston wasn’t
done yet and battled a revenge-
minded Grants Pass to reach
championship game. After a
back-and-forth game, Herm-
iston beat Grants Pass 23-22.
Hermiston was coached
by Manager Chris Elliott,
Justin Henderson and Josh
Stocker. Members of the
team are: Derek Devin,
Hunter Dyer, Chase Elliott,
Josh Fernandez, Kaiden
Henderson, Caden Hottman,
Jacob Parker, Aaron Ransom,
Fabian Rosales, Jaydon
Sanchez and Tyson Stocker.

the win.
Leading the team at the
plate was Primus (3 for 4, 4
runs, 2 RBI), Tucker Zander
(2 for 2, 2 walks, 3 runs, 2
RBI), Kyle Field (1 for 1, 2
runs, 2 RBI), Nat Hunsaker
(3 for 5, 2 runs, 2 RBI) and
Tyler Browning (3 for 5, 3
runs, 2 RBI).
In Saturday’s morning
game, the Diamondjaxx beat
River City 3-2 after scoring a
run in the sixth and a run in
the seventh innings.
Tanner Sweek pitched 6
2/3 innings with 10 strike-
outs, one walk, and allowed
tow unearned runs. Beers got
the last out for the save, and
Browning was 2 for 4 with
one RBI. The winning run
came in with two outs in the
seventh and was the result
of an error on a ball hit by
Primus.
In the semifinals later
Saturday, the Diamondjaxx
stranded 11 base runners and
lost 15-4 to Oak Harbor.
Hunsaker was 3 for 4 with
a double and Clark was 2 for
4 with an RBI. Zander started
on the mound and took the
loss allowing six earned runs.
He had four strikeouts and
one walk.
PROPLAYER
11,
HODGEN 7 — Hodgen
Distributing allowed five
runs in the sixth inning as it
fell 11-7 to Proplayer Team
Baseball on Saturday to end
it’s week.
Hodgen had jumped into
the lead 7-6 with three runs in
the bottom of the fourth Nick
Bower and Ryan Russell
driving in runs, but a two-run
home put Proplayer back up
in the sixth.
Russell went 2 for 2 with
two RBI, and started on
the mound. He went three
innings with five strikeout
and one walk, but five runs
allowed, before giving the
ball to reliever Justin Duso,
who took the loss.
Tyler Chichester was 2 for
2 with a run scored, and Brett
Swanson was 1 for 1 with
three RBI for Hodgen.
SOFTBALL
BLAZE-OHANA
11,
DFM/PRATT 1 — The
Dave’s Food Mart/Pratt
softball team finished off its
weekend with two losses,
and fell to Blaze-Ohana in
five innings on Sunday.
DFM/Pratt had beaten
USA Explosion/Coleman 6-5
in Saturday’s morning game,
but fell 18-5 to Oregon Titans
Demarini in the evening game.
Allie Brock pitched a
complete game in their win,
and Katie Bradt hit single
through the left side of
the infield to score Jaycee
Seavert for the winning run
in the bottom of the seventh.
Bradt was 2 for 2 with
two RBI, Seavert was 2 for
4 with an RBI, and Kara
Gooderham went 2 for 3
with an RBI. Carissa Cooley
(1 for 2) scored twice.
DFM/Pratt needed four
pitchers to get through its
game against Oregon Titans,
and Bradt ended up getting the
loss despite driving in three
more runs at the plate. Also
with big games on offense
were Seavert (2 for 2, 2 runs),
Brock (2 for 3), and Kirah
McGlothan (2 for 4, 2 runs).
McGlothan hit a triple
and scored DFM/Pratt’s only
run against Blaze-Ohana,
and Brock pitched another
complete game.
in January against Federer.
From the outset of the French
Open — where he won a
record 10th championship
last month — and through
his first three matches at
Wimbledon, Nadal won 28
consecutive completed sets
at the majors. Healthy and
playing terrifically, Nadal
seemed poised to again be
a factor at the All England
Club.
Don’t forget: From 2006-
11, he reached the final in
five consecutive Wimbledon
(he missed it in 2009 because
of bad knees), winning titles
in 2008 and 2010.
After losing two sets in the
opening 75 minutes against
Muller, Nadal adjusted. He
stepped a little farther behind
the baseline to give himself
more time to react. He also
fared better on his own
serve, finishing with 23 aces,
an unusually high total for
Nadal and only seven fewer
than Muller.
So they headed to a fifth
set, which was masterful, filled
with brilliance from both.
Still, things were not
looking good for Nadal when
he served while down 5-4
and double-faulted to trail
15-40. But Nadal deflected
those initial two match points
for Muller with an ace and a
service winner. Muller’s next
two match points came at
10-9: Nadal deleted the first
with a volley winner, and the
second disappeared when
Muller shanked a return.
“It was not easy,” Muller
said, “to keep believing.”
One key: Nadal converted
only 2 of 16 break points.
That included going 0 for 5
in the fifth set, four in one
game, and was a big reason
that the No. 4-seeded Span-
iard lost despite remarkable
totals of 77 winners and 17
unforced errors.
“When you are in the fifth,
against a player like him, (the
outcome) just depends on a
few balls,” Nadal said.
The fifth set alone lasted
2 hours, 15 minutes, until
Nadal pushed a forehand
long, meaning he would not
manage to complete what
would have been his fourth
career comeback from two
sets down.
Instead, it was Muller who
was able to enjoy a win that
seemed to be slipping away.
WILLIAMS:
Continued from 1B
“I mean, honestly, I
didn’t think about that,”
the 13th-seeded Ostapenko
said, then quickly added:
“But, I mean, yeah, I think
I deserve to play on a better
court than Court 12, I
guess.”
The site of her 6-3, 7-6
(6) victory over No. 4 Elina
Svitolina has a seating
capacity of 1,065, making it
only the fifth largest for the
event.
Garbine Muguruza beat
Kerber 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 at
Court No. 2, with its 4,063
seats, in a matchup between
the past two Wimbledon
runners-up, a pair of players
with a combined three
major championships, and
the woman atop the WTA
rankings (well, until next
week).
While Kerber noted that
scheduling is “not so easy”
on the second Monday at
Wimbledon — the only
major with all men’s and
women’s singles matches on
one day — she added: “Of
course, I was surprised.”
Muguruza’s take?
“I don’t want to make
any problem. I’m so focused
on what I do, I don’t care if I
played on 13, 1, 5,” she said,
then acknowledged: “I was
expecting another court.”
All England Club chief
executive Richard Lewis
said scheduling decisions
involve “some difficult
choices.”
Lewis said one factor
Monday was that “four
of the all-time great male
players” — Roger Federer,
Rafael
Nadal,
Novak
Djokovic and Andy Murray
— were all playing. Their
matches were all on the
tournament’s two principal
courts.
Both Centre Court
(nearly 15,000 seats) and
No. 1 Court (more than
11,000) had two men’s
matches and one women’s
match.
“I wouldn’t say it’s
favoritism,” Lewis said.
“In the end, it’s not about
male-female,” he said. “It’s
about which matches in
the end are the ones that
the public and broadcasters
most of all would like to
see.”
Five-time
champion
Williams played in the main
stadium, winning 31 of
36 first-serve points while
overpowering 27th-seeded
Ana Konjuh of Croatia 6-3,
6-2.
Williams,
a
vocal
advocate for Wimbledon’s
switch in 2007 to equal prize
money for the genders, said
about the court assignments:
“I’m sure that the women ...
would want more matches
on Centre or Court No. 1
over the whole fortnight.”
She and Murray think
the All England Club should
consider
placing
four
matches — two men’s, two
women’s — at each of the
top two arenas on what’s
called “Manic Monday.”
Over on No. 1 Court,
Konta won 7-6 (3), 4-6,
6-4 against No. 21 Caroline
Garcia of France. Not since
Jo Durie 33 years ago has
the host country had a
woman in the quarterfinals.
Britain’s last female
champion was Virginia
Wade in 1977.
“I’ve dreamed of it ever
since I was a little girl — to
be a Grand Slam cham-
pion,” said Konta, who
had won just one match in
five previous Wimbledon
appearances.
Five-time
champion
Williams is 37; each of her
past two opponents is 19.
Now the American faces
Ostapenko, who turned 20
last month and was born
after Williams made her
Grand Slam debut at the
1997 French Open.
“Winning never gets old
at any stage in your career.
Ever,” Williams said, then
repeated that final word for
emphasis.
The other women’s
quarterfinal
matchups
Tuesday: Konta vs. No.
2-seeded Simona Halep,
Muguruza vs. two-time
major champion Svetlana
Kuznetsova and Rybarikova
against 24th-seeded CoCo
Vandeweghe of the U.S.
Halep, who lost to Osta-
penko in the French Open
final, defeated former No.
1 Victoria Azarenka 7-6
(3), 6-2 and would replace
Kerber at No. 1 if she elim-
inates Konta next. If Halep
loses, then 2016 U.S. Open
runner-up Karolina Pliskova
would move atop the rank-
ings despite a second-round
exit at Wimbledon.
Rybarikova, a 6-4,
2-6, 6-3 winner against
135th-ranked qualifier Petra
Martic at Court 18 (capacity:
782), had no problem with
the way matches were
organized.
“To be honest, really, I
enjoy watching more men’s
tennis,” she said. “Also for
the spectators, it’s more
enjoyable to watch, because
it’s ... Federer, Murray. Huge
names. And I think they
deserve, obviously, to be on
Centre Court and Court 1.
For me, myself, I’m happy
to be on any court.”
JUDGE: Major leagues’ home run leader hits 47 total in derby, longest travels 513 feet
Continued from 1B
The larger-than-life New
York Yankees slugger domi-
nated the All-Star Home
Run Derby in the same
manner he has smashed
his way through his rookie
season, beating Minnesota’s
Miguel Sano 11-10 with two
minutes to spare in the final
on Monday night.
“It was a blast. I
enjoyed every minute of
it — watching the other guys
swing, coming here early and
talking to the media,” Judge
said. “Everything about
today was fantastic.”
Five years ago, Judge won
the college home run derby
in Omaha, Nebraska. This
time, he outslugged some of
baseball’s top stars, including
local favorites Giancarlo
Stanton and Justin Bour of
the Miami Marlins.
“A lot more fans,” Judge
said. “Your adrenaline is
pumping, you’re nervous,
you’re excited. But this was
an incredible experience.”
Judge, 6-foot-7 and 282
pounds, hit 47 home runs
in the derby that totaled 3.9
miles. His longest drive of
the night went 513 feet, and
he topped 500 four times.
“I thought I had seen it all
before. He didn’t even look
like he was getting tired,”
said Seattle’s Robinson Cano,
the 2011 Derby winner. “He
was going opposite field. He
was late on the ball and he

was putting the ball in the

Judge had no trouble
hitting the roof, thought to
be previously untouched by
batted ball. That drive didn’t
count.
“I got it in BP, too, earlier.
So I wasn’t too surprised by
that,” Judge said.
Hitting second each time,
Judge knocked out Bour
23-22 in the first round and
beat Los Angeles Dodgers
rookie Cody Bellinger 13-12
in the second. Then, with
lightning visible behind
the huge glass door, he hit
a 458-foot drive above the
batter’s eye for the title.
“That guy Aaron Judge, he
doesn’t get tired,” Sano said.
Many of the All-Stars sat
in foul territory, some with
their kids.
“I had never seen him in
person. He’s really impres-
sive,” said Colorado’s Charlie
Blackmon, who was eliminated
in the first round. “The first time
I saw him, he was in a crowd.
I was wondering what he was
standing on. He’s a monster.”
Judge leads the major
leagues with 30 home runs,
and some Yankees fans
showed up to support him
in their full dress — flowing
black robes and white
powdered wigs. Booed
initially by the crowd of
37,027, Judge earned cheers
once Stanton, the defending
champion, and Bour were
eliminated in the first round.
