Coco Gauff, 19, comes back to beat Russia’s Mirra Andreeva, 16, at the French Open

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 16:23:39 GMT

PARIS (AP) — Not all that long ago, Coco Gauff was always the kid on the court, the unknown underdog, younger and less experienced than every opponent she faced on a big stage.Now, still just 19, Gauff is well-versed in the professional tennis tour, already a Grand Slam runner-up in singles and doubles, and seeded No. 6 at this French Open. On Saturday at Roland Garros, the American was the veteran in Court Suzanne Lenglen under the cloudless sky, the one with the steady hand and steady head, in an all-teen showdown against Mirra Andreeva, a 16-year-old qualifier from Russia who is ranked 143rd and was making her debut appearance at a major tournament.After a tight-as-can-be first set, one Gauff was two points from winning but eventually ceded, she grew her game and proved to be the better player. She pulled away to reach the fourth round in Paris with a 6-7 (5), 6-1, 6-1 victory over Andreeva, who was warned by the chair umpire for unsportsmanlike conduct after smacking a ball into...

Heat looking to get to the line more, while Nuggets vow to be better in Game 2

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 16:23:39 GMT

DENVER (AP) — For the Miami Heat, shooting at Denver's 5,280 feet of mile-high altitude during Game 1 of the NBA Finals wasn’t a problem.Not shooting from 15 feet — the distance from the basket to the foul line — was.The Heat made NBA history, and not the good kind, by shooting only two free throws in Game 1 as Denver struck first in the title series with a 104-93 win. It was the fewest free throw attempts ever by a team in a playoff game and makes one of the adjustments for Game 2 on Sunday simple to forecast: Expect Miami to go into attack mode.“The attacks, we didn’t have enough of them,” said Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, whose team sent Denver to the line for 20 free throws in Game 1. “I thought the free throw disparity was appropriate. Maybe we could have got two, four, six more based on a call here or a call there. But overall our attack numbers were lower, and that usually translates into lower free throw attempts.” Denver Nuggets’ altitude advantage ‘not a myth’ for visiting...

PARIS (AP) — Lionel Messi didn’t care about the boos in his final game for Paris Saint-Germain as the French league champion lost to Clermont 3-2 on Saturday.Disrespectful PSG supporters booed Messi when the Parc des Princes announcer read his name on a warm evening.

Members of First Congregational Church of Spencer will be gathering for service in a town over for the foreseeable future, but the congregation hopes to return to the community again someday, its pastor says.A six-alarm fire destroyed First Congregational on Friday, and on Saturday, state fire officials confirmed a lighting strike caused the 160-year-old church in the small central Massachusetts town to go up in flames.Church members are invited to attend service at First Congregational Church-Leicester at 10 a.m. Sunday, Rev.

Do we do some rebuilding?’ I don’t know what it will be.”MacLeod called the Spencer congregation small, with about 30 active members, but one that is “really busy and active.” The church hosted a volunteer-run t...
