ONTHEAIR By Howard Fendrich APTennisWriter HowardFendrich on Twitter PARIS This is what Ma- ria Sharapova does. She digs herself a big hole in a match, then figures a way out, no matter what it takes. She hits shots left- handed. Takes her time be- tween points. Pumps her fists and screams "Come on!" after her opponent's mistakes. And wins. Did it in the fourth round at the French Open, turn- ing things around by win- ning the last nine games. Did it Tuesday, too, reel- ing off nine of the last 10 games to put together a 1-6, 7-5, 6-1 victory over 35th- ranked Garbine Muguruza of Spain that put 2012 cham- pion Sharapova in the semi- finals at Roland Garros for the fourth consecutive year. "When you just don't feel like anything is going your way, you want to try to find a little door to get into," Sharapova said. "Once you start feeling, you know, like you got your foot in the door, then it's a little bit easier." After beating one 20-year-old, Sharapova now faces another, 18th- seeded Eugenie Bouchard of Canada, who earned a semifinal spot for the sec- ond straight Grand Slam tournament. L i k e S h a r a p o v a , Bouchard was not fazed by falling behind in the quar- terfinals. Bouchard trailed 5-2 in the first set, and 4-1 in the third, but beat No. 14 Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain 7-6 (4), 2-6, 7-5. "I'm just proud," Bouchard said, "of the way I stayed in there." Tuesday's men's quar- terfinals offered far less in- trigue.No.2 NovakDjokovic kept up his bid to complete a career Grand Slam by mut- ing Milos Raonic's danger- ous serve and defeating the eighth-seeded Canadian 7-5, 7-6 (5), 6-4. Djokovic's next opponent is No. 18 Er- nests Gulbis of Latvia, who followed his victory over Roger Federer with a 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 win over No. 6 To- mas Berdych of the Czech Republic. Djokovic, 27, and Gulbis, 25,gowayback,havingover- lapped in their early teens at a German tennis acad- emy. Their paths quickly diverged, with Djokovic fo- cusing on tennis and thriv- ing, to the tune of six major titles. Gulbis admits he en- joyed the nightlife too much for his game's good. "It's really important, for my happiness, just to be suc- cessful on the tennis court," Gulbis said. "Forget about the money. Forget about fame. It's just about my in- ner comfort. That's it." Djokovic will be playing in his 22nd career Grand Slam semifinal; Gulbis in his first. FRENCH OPEN TENNIS Sharapovadigsoutof hole to reach semifinals She outlasts Muguruza in quarterfinals ward fall in an exhibition game against New Orleans. Ausberry chipped a bone in his left shoulder and also tore ligaments, leading to his eventual placement on season-ending injured re- serve. "It was really tough," he said. "Coming out and hav- ing a strong training camp from the beginning, it was tough to go down and watch everybody, but it's part of the game. You have to take it for what it is." While the Raiders spent the offseason overhauling their roster at almost every position, the only additions at tight end were a pair of undrafted free agents. That leaves Ausberry to compete with second-year players Mychal Rivera and Nick Kasa and practice squader Brian Leonhardt for the starting role. Coach Dennis Allen said the lack of additions at that spot was not necessarily a strong vote of confidence in the returning players, say- ing it's impossible to ad- dress every need in the off- season. But he hopes one of the tight ends will emerge before the start of the sea- son. "I feel good about having some young guys at the tight end position and we're going to need those guys to step up," Allen said. "Somebody in that room has to step up and say they're the guy." The tight end figures to be an important spot for the Raiders this season after they acquired Matt Schaub as their starting quarter- back. Schaub relied heavily on the tight end during his time in Houston, forming a strong partnership with Owen Daniels as he tried to do much of his work in the middle of the field. Schaub threw nearly 60 percent of his passes over the middle the past two seasons, ac- cording to game charting by Pro Football Focus, com- pared to less than half for Oakland last season when the tight ends combined for more than 45 catches. "I watched film on him before he came. He likes the tight ends," Ausberry said. "He likes to use the middle of the field, so we'll be there for him." The bigger test for Aus- berry will be to prove he can handle the blocking role of a tight end, which has been a bit of a struggle at times for a player who was a wide receiver most of his college career. Ausberry has added about 15 pounds to his frame since entering the NFL and now weighs close to 260 pounds. With the Raiders unable to get in pads for practice until training camp starts, Ausberry has been unable to prove he can han- dle the blocking load. "It's one of those things where you can't really tell right now," he said. "We are not really in real foot- ball yet with no pads on. It's about technique, it's about being confident, it's about knowing your assignment. That's one of those things that I am working on right now." Ausberry FROM PAGE 1 on to win the World Series. Cincinnati won this one with a pair of big innings. The Reds scored four times in both the first and fifth in- nings, matching the most runs the Giants have al- lowed in an inning this sea- son. When Bailey threw his second no-hitter against the Giants last July, the oppos- ing pitcher was Lincecum, who threw his own no-hitter 11 days later at San Diego. Lincecum had a rough time in the rematch, match- ing his career high by giving up eight runs in only 4 1/3 in- nings. Bruce doubled home a run in the first inning for his 500th career RBI, and Mesoraco homered for a 4-0 lead. Lincecum had a chance to escape that inning after Billy Hamilton led off with a double. The right-hander caught him wandering too far off second and tried to make a pickoff throw, but the ball bounced into cen- ter field allowing Hamilton to score on the error. Hamilton also singled to start a four-run fifth inning and stole a base. "I didn't do a good job fo- cusing batter-to-batter," Lincecum said. "Hamilton is a big part of their offense, and him getting on two times out of three against me kind of just flustered me a little bit. I let it get to me in those two big innings." Brandon Phillips doubled home two more runs in the fifth, and Bruce had an RBI single as the Reds pulled ahead 8-3. Bruce missed two weeks following knee surgery and was only 4 for 30 in his previous eight games back. Lincecum is 0-4 with a 9.79 ERA in six career starts against the Reds, the only NL team he hasn't beaten during the regular season. He won Game 4 in Cincinnati during the 2012 division series. It was the third time in his career that Lincecum gave up eight runs in a start. The previous time also was against Cincinnati last July 22. Something about the Reds brings out the worst in him. "That's hard to explain," Bochy said. "I can't tell you why. I know he doesn't have a win here." NOTES: Ryan Vogel- song (3-2) starts the sec- ond game against LHP Tony Cingrani (2-5), who is 0-3 with a 5.29 ERA in three starts since return- ing from the disabled list. ... The Giants have lost 11 of their last 12 regular-sea- son games at Great Amer- ican. ... Pablo Sandoval went 0 for 3 with a sacrifice fly, ending his 12-game hit- ting streak. ... Bruce is the fifth-youngest Reds player to have 500 RBIs, trailing Johnny Bench, Frank Rob- inson, Vada Pinson and Adam Dunn. ... Joey Votto was cleared to hit and take infield practice with the team. If that goes well, he'll start a minor league rehab assignment. Votto has been on the DL since May 21 with a strained muscle above his left knee.
