Victories by No.
Ryan Kalil Jersey . 1 Serena Williams and No.
2 Andy Murray meant it was the top names who eventually triumphed at Wimbledon.
But the tournament also had its share of Cinderella runs, starting with the
unlikely story of a teaching pro who decided to take another shot at the big
time. Here are the top five surprise performances from this years tournament.1.
Marcus WillisThe buildup had begun days before, with word that a part-time coach
from Britain had come through prequalifying to get a shot at playing the worlds
biggest tournament. Interest increased as Willis then proceeded to qualify for
the main draw -- even Roger Federer started paying attention. By the time he
defeated Ricardas Berankis in the first round for a seventh successive victory,
there was practically a frenzy.His story was told again and again. The
26-year-old, who was ranked No. 772 and drank soda and ate candy bars during
matches, had almost quit the game. He decided to come back and then almost quit
again before his girlfriend persuaded him to take another shot. Most weeks he
was either giving lessons at a local court or traipsing around Europe competing
in league tennis. Now he was facing Federer on Centre Court of the All England
Club, a packed crowd cheering as he hit a couple of spectacular winners during
an entertaining encounter. Not my standard Wednesday, Willis said after his 6-0,
6-3, 6-4 loss.2. Dominika CibulkovaCibulkova had such a low opinion of her
grass-court skills that she scheduled her wedding on the day of the Wimbledon
womens final. Just one potential problem: Shes actually not so bad on the
grass.Starting with a title at the warm-up event at Eastbourne, Cibulkova won
nine straight matches on grass, putting her wedding plans in disarray. Her
fourth-round victory against Agnieszka Radwanska was one of the finest of the
tournament -- a three-setter Cibulkova called an amazing, amazing match and the
most physically tough contest of her career. But the Slovaks run was stopped in
the quarterfinals by Elena Vesnina, giving her plenty of time to get to the
church.It was a good showing for the small, but powerful Cibulkova. A former
finalist at the Australian Open, she had heel surgery a year ago and has run
into some tough draws this season. With her ranking back up to No. 12, she will
now get the benefit of being seeded at tournaments.Its probably good she didnt
book a honeymoon. Cibulkova is scheduled to play in next weeks WTA event at
Stanford.3.?Elena VesninaVesninas wedding planning was better than Cibulkovas --
I did it in the offseason, she said -- which meant no scheduling concerns for
the Russian as she reached her first Grand Slam semifinal.Though she wasnt much
of a match for Serena Williams in the semis, it was still a long way from the
qualifying events she had been playing just a couple of months ago.I was playing
all tournaments starting from qualifications, she said. It was not easy, to be
honest, because I was in top 30, then I was like No. 120.Im really happy that it
didnt break me up. I think the difficult times, every single player has to go
through it because it makes you better.Vesnina is now back up to No. 24 in the
rankings and within reach of her career-high of No. 21 from 2013.4. Venus
WilliamsReaching the Wimbledon semifinals wouldnt normally be a big deal for a
five-time champion. But at 36, and with just one win this season over a player
currently in the top 50 prior to Wimbledon, it was a big deal for
Williams.Losing to Angelique Kerber in the semifinals prevented Venus from
another dream Wimbledon final against her sister, but the older Williams did
come away with a trophy as she combined with Serena to win the womens
doubles.Along the way, Venus cemented her position as the elder stateswoman of
the game. And shes not done yet.Retiring is the easy way, she said. I dont have
time for easy. Tennis is just hard.5. Sam QuerreyNot even Querrey suspected he
would beat Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon. Until he won the first-set tiebreak,
anyway. Then he told himself, All right, I can beat this guy.It took another day
and several rain delays, but thats what he did, producing some big hitting and
clutch serving to win in four sets. The 28-year-old American then won his
fourth-round match against Nicolas Mahut to reach his first Grand Slam
quarterfinal.It may have been the biggest surprise of the tournament, and while
it didnt get him any silverware, Querrey was the first player in over a year who
could say he defeated Djokovic in a Grand Slam.

Monument Park. MINNEAPOLIS -- The Cleveland Indians seek to extend their winning
streak over the Minnesota Twins to six games when the teams meet at Target Field
in the second contest of a three-game set.The American League Central
Division-leading Indians (82-58) dropped eight of their first 12 meetings with
the last-place Twins (52-89) before their recent tear.The teams traded leads
through five innings in Fridays series opener before the bullpens combined to
toss nine shutout innings and Clevelands left the park with a 5-4
victory.Clevelands Mike Napoli went 89 at bats between home runs 29 and 30 but
has three in his last five games, including Friday nights 456-foot monster shot
to Target Fields upper deck in left.I was going through a period where I was
just trying to grind my way through at bats, Napoli said. But Ive been feeling
better and better, at-bat-by-at-bat, so I feel like Im going in the right
direction.The timing could not be better for the Indians as they fight to
maintain a six-game lead over Detroit in the division standings and Napoli knows
it.Thhats what you want coming down the stretch, Napoli said.
Matt Kalil Jersey. Im in that position to
where I can, anytime, change a game so Im not going up there just trying to hit
singles.For the Twins, its Byron Buxton who is heating up. The speedy center
fielder hit another home run Friday and is batting .433 with four doubles, five
home runs, 12 RBI and 12 runs scored in eight games since he was recalled from
Triple-A Rochester on Sept. 1.I just think that hes trying to continue to find
ways to be a better hitter, Twins manager Paul Molitor said. But hes getting
more results and hes getting an opportunity so well just keep running him out
there.Mike Clevinger will be on the hill for the Indians on Saturday as
Cleveland tries for the second time to use a series of relievers to assume the
No. 5 starter spot Josh Tomlin was unable to secure. The Indians hope to get
more than the 43 pitches they received from Clevinger on Monday.
