  • Tennis DIVISION I MEN’S
    Tennis DIVISION I MEN’S Highlights Southern California wins third national title in a row; Nguyen clinches championship with thrilling three-set victory: Daniel Nguyen made a shot to earn a break point, fl ipped off his hat, started taking off his shirt and then danced around the court until his Southern California teammates could reach him and pile on. Nguyen downed Sanam Singh, 7-5, 0-6, 6-4, to give Southern California a 4-3 victory against Virginia for the Trojans’ third consecutive NCAA men’s tennis title May 24. They became the fi rst three-time defending champions since Stanford won four in a row from 1995 to 1998. “I remember watching Prakash Amritraj take off his shirt when we won the 2002 title,” Nguyen said. “I thought about doing it and then thought, ‘nah, let’s not do it.’” Seconds later he was tackled to the ground amid a wave of Trojans. “It was an incredible match,” Southern California coach Peter Smith said. “It all came down to the last match. How many teams win three in a row? These boys did it. This coaching staff did it.” Nguyen’s fi nal game featured a solid return game. He dived to save one shot and ended up getting the point. That led to the chip shot from the net that landed a few yards from Singh. “It was an amazing atmosphere,” Nguyen said. “It was unbelievably loud and it was hard to focus. I just seized the moment and took advantage.” Of his second point in the last game, he said: “I just saw the ball and ran as fast as I could and dove for it.

The US and Russian initiative, which emerged from talks with a 17-nation group, foresees a rapid ceasefire on private visit in the almost five-year conflict, perhaps as early as next month. If the plan brings Bashar Al-Assad’s regime to the table with the armed opposition, it will allow Russian and US-led forces to focus their firepower on the Islamic State group. “In January we hope and expect to be at the table and to be able to implement a full ceasefire,” US Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters. “And that means all the bar- rel bombs will stop, all the bombing, all the shooting, all the attacks on either side.” The Security Council met Friday after the latest round of talks by the International Syria Support Group (ISSG), which had gathered in New York to renew its push for peace.

  • Last Year Tennis Rocketed to New Heights
    by Mark Preston and 2001 Chris OdysseyATennis Nicholson Last year tennis rocketed to new heights. BEST MATCH: It was, simply, what it was always supposed to have been—brilliant. In one unforget- table evening, we remembered how the Pete Sampras-Andre Agassi “rivalry” had long ago been scripted. The two men had met 31 times coming into this US Open quarterfinal, with Sampras winning 17 of those meetings, but none had ever been as closely contested or as per- fectly played out as this. Here was Sampras, the game’s supreme server and Agassi, its greatest returner, not only excelling at their respective strengths but at each others’ as well. For three hours and 33 minutes, each man played at a level that seemed impossible to sustain—and yet somehow, each did. No breaks of serve, four tie-breaks, countless thrills. In the wee hours of the morning, the 6-7, 7-6, 7-6, 7-6 victory went to Sampras. There was no loser. T WAS A YEAR of comebacks and coming-out parties; win over Pete Sampras in the third round of the Ericsson Open in a year illuminated by the brilliance of a legion of young March. “He’s the real thing,” said Sampras of Roddick, who went on Istars and the undiminished glow of the game’s estab- to win three singles titles, reach the quarters of the US Open and fin- lished luminaries. ish the year ranked No. 14.
