''I've got a chance to win one out of the next two,'' she thought. Turns out she wasn't giving herself enough credit. The Aus- tralian won the second set almost as convincingly as the first to earn her first Grand Slam title, beating 13-time major champion Serena Williams in 73 minutes Sunday. ''If I was going to win, I did- n't think that I'd be able to do it in 6-2, 6-3, that's for sure,'' Sto- sur said. Maybe that's because she hasn't always done things the quick and easy way in her career. Like missing nearly eight months in 2007-08 because of Lyme disease. ''I've slept in train stations and stayed in dodgy hotels and done the hard yards through many places,'' the 27-year-old said. In this tournament alone, Stosur set two records of the long and dragged-out variety. Stosur needed 3 hours, 16 min- utes to win in the third round — the longest women's match at the Open since the advent of the tiebreaker in 1970. Two days later, Stosur was part of the longest tiebreaker in a women's Grand Slam, 32 points in anoth- er three-set match. Stosur had struggled with inconsistency since reaching her first major final last year at the French Open. That day, Sto- sur was the favorite — seeded No. 7 to 17th for Francesca Schiavone. The Australian lost a tight match in which she was up a break in the second set. This time, Williams was the overwhelming favorite. ''I felt like I was definitely the underdog going into it, so maybe that kind of made me a little more relaxed going into this match than especially my last Grand Slam final,'' Stosur said. ''I think I was able to draw on a lot of that experience from the French Open.'' She looked cool and calm from the start, going after Williams' second serve and smacking winners with her forehand. ''She was cracking 'em today,'' Williams said. ''She definitely hit hard and just went for broke.'' Stosur has worked with an Australian sports psychologist for the last two years, and she especially needed that after get- See OPEN, page 2B 3:30 p.m. 8 1 8 1 33 17 Sports SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Ted Ginn Jr. carried the game ball to keep for himself, and packed away two more footballs from his game-saving kick returns to pre- sent his twins. Jim Harbaugh didn't need a single souvenir. Hugs all around would do, from his parents, from his players. He left Candlestick Park on Sunday with that coveted victory over Pete Carroll and the defending NFC West champions in his NFL debut. Here's the deal, Coach Car- roll: Harbaugh is one up at this level. Ginn returned a kickoff and a punt for touchdowns in a minute's span late in the fourth quarter, and the San Francisco 49ers gave Harbaugh a 33-17 win over Seattle in his much-hyped debut and renewed coaching rivalry with Carroll. ''I slept like a baby last night,'' said Harbaugh, a father of two young daughters. ''I woke up every hour crying, making sure these guys were prepared in every way. And they had our back. Our players did a heck of a job.'' Especially Ginn, who deliv- ered right when the Seahawks thought the momentum was theirs. He ran a kickoff back 102 yards moments after the defend- ing NFC West champion Sea- hawks had closed within 19-17. It was the second-longest kick return at home and fourth-longest in team history. He then scored on a 55-yard punt return. It was the first time in 49ers history they had a kickoff return and a punt return for touchdowns — let alone by the same player. 1B Monday September 12, 2011 Harbaugh wins NFL debut MCT photo Seattle Seahawks Marshawn Lynch (24) is stopped inside the Seahawks five-yard line by San Francisco 49ers Patrick Willis (52), NaVorro Bowman (53) and Madieu Williams (20) in the first quarter Sunday. ''I got an opportunity to go out and show what I had,'' Ginn said. ''It's great. You do it on the video game a lot, but you don't see it a lot in real life.'' Alex Smith exhibited the poise and polish Harbaugh believed the 2005 No. 1 overall pick still had in him despite recent history, going 15 for 20 for 124 yards and running for a 1- yard TD. David Akers kicked four field goals in his first game with San Francisco. New Seattle quarterback Tar- varis Jackson threw a late 55- yard touchdown pass to Har- baugh's former Stanford star, Doug Baldwin, in his Seahawks debut as Matt Hasselbeck's replacement. Harbaugh pulled Smith into a seconds-long bearhug after he hustled to the sideline after his Stosur surprises herself at Open short TD run just before halftime in which he spun into the end zone to put the 49ers up 16-0. Ginn saved the game with a huge day on special teams. This is the guy who returned kickoffs of 100 and 101 yards for touch- downs in a 30-25 win for Miami over the New York Jets on Nov. 1, 2009. See DEBUT, page 2B Giants beat Dodgers to avoid sweep SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Madi- son Bumgarner didn't have much problem handling the Los Angeles Dodgers while stopping another losing streak for the Giants. Convincing manager Bruce Bochy to let him finish out the season may be a bit more difficult. San Francisco's most reliable starter over the last three weeks, Bumgarner has already logged more than 186 innings on the mound this season. With their postseason hopes dimming almost every day, the Giants plan to take a cautious approach the rest of the way with their young left-hander. ''We had a little concern, not much, with how much he pitched the year before,'' Bochy said after Bumgarner allowed three hits over five innings in San Francisco's 8-1 win Sunday. ''I just like where he's at right now. He worked hard today but made some great pitches.'' Bumgarner won his fourth straight start, Pablo Sandoval doubled home See GIANTS, page 2B Wilson, Beltre lead Rangers past A's ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — C.J. Wilson understood why Texas manag- er Ron Washington wouldn't give him a shot at his second consecutive shutout. Wilson scattered five singles over eight shutout innings, Adrian Beltre homered twice to reach 301 for his career and the AL West-leading Rangers beat Oakland 8-1 on Sunday to eliminate the Athletics from playoff contention. Wilson (16-6) struck out 11 and walked one, following up on his first career shutout — an 8-0 win at Tampa Bay last Tuesday. Wilson set a career high for victo- ries and wanted a complete game, but Washington pulled his ace after 111 pitches. Washington is trying to avoid extra stress on Wilson's left arm down the stretch, and Wilson agreed with his manager to take a long-term approach and stay in the dugout with an 8-0 lead. ''He understands,'' Washington said. ''He's the guy in our rotation See A'S, page 2B ESPN CSNC CSNB
