TENNIS French Open, Men's Semifi- nals: 8a.m., NBC. ONTHEAIR By Howard Fendrich The Associated Press PARIS Might be easier said than done. Still, Maria Sharapova offered a tidy aphorism to sum up the for- mula that's carried her to a third consecutive French Open final. "It's not how you finish a first set," Sharapova said, "it's how you finish the last set." Right now, no one is a bet- ter closer than she is on clay. Nearing a second cham- pionship at Roland Gar- ros, and fifth Grand Slam trophy overall, Sharapova gritted her way to yet an- other comeback victory, beating 18th-seeded Eug- enie Bouchard of Canada 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 in the semifi- nals Thursday. "If some things are not working out, I don't just want to quit in the middle. Because when you lose the first set or a few games or you're down a break, that's not the end of the match," Sharapova said. "That's the type of philosophy that I play with." She famously described herself years ago as feeling like a "cow on ice" on clay, but Sharapova now has won her past 19 matches that went to three sets on the demanding surface. In Saturday's final, the No. 7-seeded Sharapova will face No. 4 Simona Halep, a 22-year-old Romanian who never before had been past the quarterfinals at a ma- jor. Halep turned in a much more straightforward vic- tory than Sharapova, elim- inating No. 28 Andrea Pet- kovicofGermany6-2,7-6(4). "I have a lot of confidence in myself now," said Halep, who a year ago was ranked only 57th and lost in the first round in Paris for the third time since 2010. "I played really well here; a few good matches. But next round will be very tough. I know Maria. She's a great cham- pion." She is 0-3 against Sharapova. But Halep has claimed seven titles since the start of last season — "Impressive 12 months," she called it — and used her smooth movement and smart angles to win all 12 sets she's played these two weeks. Sharapova took a more difficult route to her ninth Grand Slam final. In the fourth round against 2011 U.S. Open champion Samantha Sto- sur, Sharapova trailed 6-3, 4-3, then won the last nine games. FRENCH OPEN TENNIS 2012champSharapova awaits Halep in the final Russian no longer feels like 'cow on ice' on clay courts cess here. Of course we did bounce back at a critical time in 2012 (playoffs), but I know we've had some of our worst baseball here. "So it was good, partic- ularly after losing the first game the way we did, to bounce back and play the type of ball we did the next two days." Cincinnati has been one of their most dreaded stops. The Giants won a series in Cincinnati for the first time since August 18-20, 2009. They've dropped 11 of their last 14 in Cincinnati during the regular season. The one bright moment was their division series win in Cincinnati in 2012, the start- ing point for their World Se- ries title. Bumgarner (8-3) gave up three hits in eight innings, including Todd Frazier's homer, and retired the last 16 batters he faced. He's 6-0 in his last seven starts, the best such streak of his ca- reer. Michael Morse hit a two-run homer, and Bran- don Crawford broke out of a slump with a three-run shot off Mike Leake (3-5), who had overwhelmed the Giants the last four times he faced them. Bumgarner was the NL's Pitcher of the Month in May and carried it into June with another stingy performance on the road. Bumgarner has allowed three or fewer runs in each of his last 20 road starts, a franchise record. The Reds came out swinging and got two of their three hits in the first inning. Once Bumgarner saw what was happening, he changed his approach early in the count and got them hitting the ball on the ground. "They came out aggres- sive," said Bumgarner, who retired 23 of the last 24 he faced. "After that first in- ning, when they came out swinging, I made some ad- justments and the defense was phenomenal. They made a lot of good plays. "Today was the best you can hope for, really. I got a lot of quick outs and got the team back in the dugout." George Kontos retired the side in the ninth as the final 19 Reds went in or- der. Cincinnati didn't have a base runner after Frazier singled with two outs in the third inning. They won the series by fi- nally getting to Leake. Giants FROM PAGE 1 "His split-finger started working for him there and he got me to pop up with runners on base." Before the game, A's manager Bob Melvin said there was some "intrigue" to seeing Tanaka up close, kidding he would've pre- ferred Oakland miss the ace's turn. "Wemadehimworksome, maybe a little bit more than he's had to, where his pitch count got up and they had to get him out," Melvin said. "But you can see why his numbers are the way they are. He's got a lot of pitches." David Robertson worked the ninth for his 13th save in 15 chances, helped by a lucky bounce. Stephen Vogt singled with one out and pinch-run- ner Craig Gentry stole sec- ond. Alberto Callaspo fol- lowed with a hard grounder that deflected off Robert- son's leg, and first baseman Mark Teixeira corralled the carom and flipped to the pitcher covering the bag for an out. Pinch-hit- ter Derek Norris looked at strike three for the final out. "I was probably the hap- piest guy in the stadium that the ball hit me," Robertson said. Shortly after he was in- serted for speed and de- fense, Yankees right fielder Ichiro Suzuki blunted Oak- land's bid to tie it in the eighth with a sliding catch on Brandon Moss' liner into the gap with runners on first and second.

COLLEGE ArizonaState: Named David Cohen senior associate athletics director. putting his hand up and lin- gering at the baseline until help arrived to take him off for good. Danny Green followed with 3-pointer to trigger what became a 16-3 run to end the game. "It felt like a punch in the gut when you see your leader limping to bench like that. But we still had a chance after that," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. The crowd chanted "Beat the Heat! Beat the Heat!" in the fourth quarter, which was just what the fans them- selves were trying to do. The Spurs said an electri- cal failure for the power that runs the air conditioning system had occurred. They apologized for the inconve- nience but also seemed to poke fun of it, playing songs with "hot" in the lyrics over the sound system. Fans were trying to cool themselves on the hot night, a reminder of what it was like in the old Boston Gar- den when the Celtics and Lakers got together. The Heat are the first team since those Celtics of 1984-87 to get to four straight finals. They are well-rested after a rela- tively easy roll through the Eastern Conference playoffs, a key to keeping Wade healthy entering the finals. But they couldn't do any- thing about James, the MVP of the series last year when the Heat rallied from five points down in the final half-minute of regulation to win Game 6 in overtime, then won a Game 7 that was close the whole way for their second straight champion- ship. A rematch was widely an- ticipated and was close al- most throughout. The Heat led 86-79 after Bosh's four- point play with 9:38 remain- ing in the game, but it was all San Antonio from there. The Spurs ended up ex- tending their NBA-record straight to eight straight home playoff wins by 15 or more points. Bosh, scoreless in Game 7 last year, scored Miami's first five points in the Heat's 7-2 start. But Ginobili came off the bench firing, making consecutive 3-pointers for an 18-13 lead. Wade and James com- bined for six straight points before Ginobili made an- other 3, and Patty Mills added one to close the first- quarter scoring and give the Spurs a 26-20 advan- tage. The Spurs committed nine turnovers while man- aging only 20 points in the third quarter, and Miami led 78-74 heading to the fourth. Notes: James joined Mi- chael Jordan and Kobe Bry- ant as the only players with 4,000 points and 1,000 as- sists in the postseason. ... Ray Allen moved past Bry- ant and Derek Fisher into second place on the career list with 49 3-pointers in the NBA Finals. Robert Horry, a former Spurs forward, is the leader with 56.
