No quarter a given: Djokovic, Thiem out; Chung, Sandgren in
JOHN PYE
Associated Press
MELBOURNE, Australia
—
Six-time
champion
Novak
Djokovic
was
stunned in straight sets by
Hyeon Chung not long after
Tennys Sandgren upset No.
5 Dominic Thiem at the
Australian Open.
The season-opening major
often throws up unexpected
results, but the back-to-back
upsets Monday resulted in
a longshot of a quarterfi nal:
Chung, the fi rst Korean
to reach the last eight at a
Grand Slam, vs. Sandgren,
the American who had never
won a Grand Slam match or
beaten a top 10 player until
last week.
Chung
Sandgren
The 58th-ranked Chung
relentlessly
attacked
Djokovic — who is playing
his fi rst tournament since
Wimbledon because of an
injured right elbow — in the
7-6 (4), 7-5, 7-6 (3) fourth-
round win.
Chung ripped 47 winners
including a forehand on the
slide and at full stretch that
put him within two points of
victory.
Djokovic winced and
grimaced throughout the
match, particularly when
stretching for backhands. He
said he’d need to reassess the
treatment for his elbow, but
didn’t want his injuries to
detract from Chung’s win
“Amazing.
Amazing
performance,” said Djokovic,
who was seeded 14th after
his ranking slid in 2017 while
he was off the tour.
Chung was coming off
a win over No. 4-seeded
Alexander Zverev.
Djokovic wasn’t even
sure until the last minute
that he’d be able to play at
Melbourne Park, and then
had three tough matches
against Donald Young, Gael
Monfi ls and No. 21 Albert
Ramos-Vinolas.
The 26-year-old Sand-
gren, who entered the
season’s opening major
ranked 97th, missed a match
point in the fourth set but
held on for a 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (4),
6-7 (7), 6-3 win over Thiem.
It followed up his earlier
victory over 2014 champion
Stan Wawrinka.
Sandgren is only the
second man in 20 years to
reach the quarterfi nals on his
debut at Melbourne Park.
He converted half of his
eight break-point chances,
and fended off 10 of the 12
he faced against Thiem, and
hit 63 winners against 38
unforced errors in the biggest
win of his life.
Defending
champion
Roger Federer had no real
diffi culties in reaching the
Australian Open quarterfi nals
for the 14th time, accounting
for Marton Fucsovics 6-4,
7-6 (3), 6-2.
The 19-time major winner
will renew a lengthy rivalry
next against Tomas Berdych,
who returned to the quarter-
fi nals for the seventh time
at Melbourne Park with a
6-1, 6-4, 6-4 win over Fabio
Fognini.
The win over Fucsovics
was Federer’s fi rst day match
of the 2018 tournament,
and he joked about needing
sunglasses and a towel for
the beach but said really the
only change was to set the
alarm for a different time.
Angelique Kerber, the
only Grand Slam singles
winner remaining in the
women’s draw, was up
earlier, and got a serious
wakeup call.
For a while it appeared
former Australian and U.S.
Open champion Kerber’s
progression could unravel
against No. 88 Hsieh Su-wei,
a former top-ranked doubles
player with a double-handed
grip on both sides, until she
regained momentum for
a 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 win. That
earned Kerber a quarterfi nal
spot against U.S. Open
fi nalist Madison Keys.
Keys returned to the
quarterfi nals here for the fi rst
time in three years with a 6-3,
6-2 win over No. 8-seeded
Caroline Garcia.

break scoring 20 points in
the third quarter but then

24 points. Three Hilanders

went on the road to face
Stanfi eld on Saturday and the
TigerScots rebounded with a
71-60 over the host school.
The Tigers (8-11 overall,
1-2 Columbia Basin Confer-

outcome favored the Knights
as they defeated the Bulldogs
32-28.
“We fi nally caught Nyssa
in the fourth quarter, hit a
couple big shots, and made
7-of-10 free throws to pull
out a big win for us,” head
coach Mike Royer said.
Senior Jada Burns led the
Knights’ efforts, and scored a
game-high 12 points. Fellow
senior Taylor Davis was
three points shy of a double-
double, as she grabbed 12
rebounds and fi nished with

overall, 3-2 Eastern Oregon
League). To go along with

SWIM
HOOD RIVER — On
Saturday, Pendleton and
Hermiston joined eight other
schools at the Hood River
Valley Invitational.
The Hermiston boys
swim team ran away with
fi rst place by more than
a 20-point margin. The
Bulldogs earned 147 points
behind top fi nishes from
Carson Wrathall and Ryan
Barnard. The pair had top
fi nishes in their individual
races.
Neither girls team cracked
the top three with Pendleton
fi nishing in fourth place with
72 points, and Hermiston
only scoring 22 points which
was good for ninth.
Overall, Pendleton fell
just outside the top three
and fi nished in fourth place
with 171 points. Hermiston
followed in fi fth with 169
points.
Barnard’s success came
early in the 200-yard indi-
vidual medley. He fi nished in
2:11.95, nearly six seconds
faster than the rest of the
fi eld. His top spot earned
14 points for the team. In
his next event, the 100-yard
butterfl y, he fi nished in
second place (57.77).
In the 100-yard freestyle,
Wrathall added another 14
points to the team total when
he fi nished in 51.71. Like
Barnard, he also claimed
second in another individual
event.
In the 100-yard breast-
stroke, Wrathall fi nished
seconds ahead of a Buckaroo
and seconds out of fi rst place.
He earned second in 1:06.06.
The Bulldogs had two
other top-three performances
to help boost them above the
competition. The 200-yard
medley relay team consisting
of Wrathall, Barnard, Seth
Buck and Lane Stevenson
fi nished second out of a fi eld
of 10. The boys clocked
1:53.59, just 0.54 seconds
shy of fi rst place.
Hermiston’s boys relay
teams continued to impress
as the 200-yard freestyle with
the same swimmers from the
medley relay again earned
the top spot. The Bulldogs
edged out a third place
Pendleton squad and second
place La Grande to take fi rst
in 1:38.50.
For Pendleton, there were
a number of top swimmers.
Shane Miltenberger had the
best individual fi nished for
the Buckaroos. The senior
claimed second place in the
200-yard freestyle in 2:03.47.
In the individual events,
fellow senior Ryan Headley
rounded out the top three in
the 100-yard breaststroke
after fi nishing in 1:11.05.
The 200-yard third-place
freestyle relay team included
Vitor Pedrosa, Tyler Sprat-
ling, Headley and Milten-
berger.
The girls 200-yard free-
style relay took second place
by clocking 1:54.80. Making
up the squad was Kyndra
Nelson, Elisabeth House,
Abby Williams and Landry
Huth.
Huth earned a third and
fi fth place fi nish in her
individual events. In the
100-yard backstroke she
beat Hermiston’s Georgia
Stevenson for fi fth (1:15.19)
and in the same distance
using the breaststroke, she
edged out her competition by
0.27 seconds to claim third
(1:19.07).
The Buckaroos continued
to show the most success
when their relay teams were
in the pool. Both the boys
and girls 400-yard freestyle
relay fi nished in the top three.
The boys took fi rst in
3:49.73 with the same
group of Pedrosa, Spratling,
Headley and Miltenberger;
while the girls took third in
4:35.18 with Nelson, House,
Williams and Huth.
