''Hey, Donald!'' yelled Courier, who won four Grand Slam titles and was ranked No. 1. ''Come on, man! Keep up that mojo!'' Since Young turned pro as a teen, there have been all manner of ups and downs, including a rather public spat with the U.S. Tennis Association this year. What's never really been questioned is his skill when a tennis racket is in his left hand, and Young is living up to his potential at this U.S. Open — helping give the United States four men in the fourth round for the first time since 2003. ''It feels like a big cor- ner's been turned, and I real- ly hope it is. I hope he can take this momentum — however it goes here — and use it,'' Courier said. ''It's not been as smooth a road as maybe some pictured for Donald, but he's showing what he can do now.'' Cheered on by a raucous, partisan crowd in the Grandstand at Flushing Meadows, Young turned in his second consecutive upset of a seeded player by beating No. 24 Juan Ignacio Chela of Argentina 7-5, 6-4, 6-3 Sunday, two days after eliminating No. 14 Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland. ''You have your highs and lows in tennis,'' said Young, who was born in Chicago and now is based in Atlanta. ''I've definitely had the lows. Hopefully I'll have a lot more highs.'' One low came in April, when Young wrote on Twit- ter an expletive-laden rip of the USTA about what he perceived as a snub in its awarding of a wild-card berth for the French Open. Patrick McEnroe, head of the USTA's development, responded by holding a con- ference call with reporters to demand an apology. Both Young and McEn- roe insist they've moved on. After Young's 4-hour, 20-minute victory over Wawrinka, McEnroe tweet- ed: ''In tennis terms Donald Young became a man today.'' Young, meanwhile, Redding Adventist 262 107 runners 1.

It's in the other dugout, with the Diamondbacks. In a crucial series the reigning World Series champi- ons considered must-win, they faltered again. At home before a sellout crowd. With runners in scoring posi- tion. When they took an early lead. Willie Bloomquist hit a go-ahead two-run triple after Ryan Roberts' solo homer tied it in the eighth, and NL West-leading Arizona extended its division cushion to a season-best seven games with a 4-1 win over the stum- bling Giants on Sunday. The Giants realized they needed to take two of three spoke at length Sunday about the help he got at the USTA training center in Carson, Calif., when he spent about four weeks there during the offseason in November and December, crediting that with a vastly improved fitness level that's contributed to his U.S. Open victories. Asked about the Twitter episode, Young's father, Donald Young Sr., called the whole thing ''probably something that had to hap- pen'' and noted he wasn't bothered by his son's intent in April, only the way the message was worded. A loser in his only previ- ous third-round match at a major tournament, the 84th- ranked Young will get to the MCT file photo Donald Young returns a ball during the US Open. quarterfinals if he can get past his next opponent, No. 4 Andy Murray of Britain or No. 25 Feliciano Lopez of Spain. ''He surprised me,'' Chela said. ''But he came in on a roll. I thought he played a real solid game.'' Another American man won Sunday when No. 21 Andy Roddick defeated 81st-ranked Julien Ben- neteau of France 6-1, 6-4, 7- 6 (5). No. 8 Mardy Fish reached the fourth round with a victory Saturday. And a fourth U.S. man was guaranteed to join the group because two played each other in the third round later Sunday: No. 28 John Isner and Alex Bogomolov Jr. There haven't been more 1B Monday September 5, 2011 4 American men moving into Open's 4th round than four American men in the fourth round since 1995, when eight did it. Roddick, the 2003 U.S. Open champion, thinks it's probably not a coincidence that there is a bit of a surge at this tournament, because success by one American pushes others. ''There's a healthy jeal- ousy going on right now, which is good. It's only going to help. If Donald Young sees (19-year-old American) Ryan Harrison play well in the summer, he's going to not want to fall behind,'' Roddick explained. ''I think that's what you saw with that 'golden generation' is that they were able to push each other.'' Courier was part of that generation, as were Pete Sampras (14 Grand Slam titles), Andre Agassi (eight) and Michael Chang (one). ''It's a great thing to see. You just feel there's a little bit of momentum. There is a bit of a snowball effect at times if it goes the right way,'' said Roddick, who will play No. 5 David Ferrer of Spain for a quarterfinal berth. ''Seems like there's some of that right now.'' 180 Giants falter at home in DeJesus, Sweeney lead A's this weekend to keep their faint playoff hopes alive, but instead lost the final two. ''We're still breathing. We're hanging by a thread,'' San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. ''We know we're running out of time, there's no question about that. I thought it was critical we take the series. We all know it. We didn't.'' The Diamondbacks finally delivered for Daniel Hudson (15-9) when they got to All-Star Ryan Vogel- song in the eighth. Until then, Cody Ross' first-inning home run had held up. Hudson won his third straight start, helping Arizona (80-60) leave the Bay Area for Colorado in a comfortable spot with 22 games to go. Hudson allowed one run on three hits, struck out five and walked one in seven innings. David Hernandez went 1-2-3 in the eighth and J.J. Putz pitched a perfect ninth for his 36th save. San Francisco failed to win a seventh straight home series at sold-out AT&T Park since taking two of three from Milwaukee on July 22-24. Roberts drove a 2-0 pitch from Vogelsong (10-6) into the left-field bleachers to start the eighth-inning rally. After Gerardo Parra followed with an infield sin- gle, Vogelsong's day was done. Jeremy Affeldt was called upon to face pinch-hitter Geoff Blum, while Vogelsong walked off to a standing ovation and tipped his cap. After Affeldt walked Blum on six pitches, Bochy replaced him with Ramon Ramirez. Bochy vowed to pull out all the stops and treat this one like an elimina- tion game. Aaron Hill added an RBI single in the eighth to give Arizona an insurance run. Gibson went with the same eight players in the same order after Saturday's victory ahead of Hudson in the ninth hole. Kirk Gibson's gritty group has seized control of its fate with a fabulous stretch. ''What we never wanted to do is get in a situation where we're looking at the scoreboard and wanting somebody else to do our dirty work,'' Gibson said. Now, that's right where the Giants sit.

OAKLAND (AP) — Things have changed in a good way for Hideki Mat- sui and the Oakland Ath- letics since the All-Star break. David DeJesus and Ryan Sweeney each drove in two runs, Matsui dou- bled three times and the Athletics completed a three-game sweep of the Seattle Mariners with an 8- 5 victory Sunday. Kurt Suzuki, Brandon Allen and Josh Willingham also drove in runs for the A's, who won their fourth straight following a five- game losing streak. ''Against a team we've struggled against some, it was good,'' A's manager Bob Melvin said. ''I can't remember us sweeping anybody for a while. It feels good.'' The A's are two games over .500 and hitting near- ly 40 points better since the break. Matsui has plenty to do with that. Matsui is hitting .343 (62 for 181) since the All- Star break. He hit .209 in the first part of the season. The three doubles tied a single-game Oakland HAMPTON, Ga.
