Ontheair By Howard Fendrich The Associated Press PARIS There was no tro- phy, and no title, on of- fer for Novak Djokovic at Court Philippe Chatrier. Perhaps there should have been, considering what he accomplished. Thoroughly outplaying the best there's ever been on red clay, Djokovic ended Rafael Nadal's 39-match French Open winning streak Wednesday by beat- ing the nine-time cham- pion in a surprisingly lop- sided quarterfinal 7-5, 6-3, 6-1. "A match," Djokovic said, "that I will remember for a long time." It's only Nadal's sec- ond defeat in 72 career matches at Roland Garros — and second in 95 best-of- five-set matches anywhere on the surface. The other came in the fourth round in Paris in 2009 against Robin Soderling. Before that, Nadal won four championships in a row. And since? Nadal col- lected a record five consec- utive French Open titles. "I lost in 2009, and (it) was not the end," Nadal said. "I lost in 2015, and (it) is not the end." The No. 1-ranked Djokovic lost all six previ- ous matches they'd played in Paris, including the 2012 and 2014 finals. But Djokovic's defense allowed Nadal only three winners off his heavy top- spin lefty forehand, per- haps the most feared shot in all of tennis. With his coach, Boris Becker, jump- ing out of his seat to ap- plaud, Djokovic conjured up 45 winners to only 16 for Nadal, whose 29th birth- day sure was a downer. "He was better than me," Nadal said. "That's it." By the end, Djokovic not only had broken down Nad- al's game but also his usu- ally unbending will. Appro- priately for a match that did not live up to the hype, it closed with a whimper on a double-fault by Nadal. "An ideal scenario is to- day could have been (the final), and could have a different discussion," Djokovic said. "It's only quarterfinals, and I want to fight for the title. That's what I came here for." Yes, significant as this victory was, Djokovic has more work to do in pursuit of a first French Open title to complete a career Grand Slam. In Friday's semifinals, the 28-year-old Serb will meet No. 3 Andy Murray, who eliminated 2013 run- ner-up David Ferrer 7-6 (4), 6-2, 5-7, 6-1. The other semi- final is Stan Wawrinka vs. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. "I feel like I understand how I have to play on the surface better than I did in the past," said Murray, who is 15-0 on clay in 2015. In the women's semi- finals Thursday, Serena Williams plays Timea Bac- sinszky, and Ana Ivanovic meets Lucie Safarova. Wil- liams advanced with a 6-1, 6-3 victory over Sara Er- rani, and Bacsinszky beat Alison Van Uytvanck 6-4, 7-5. FRENCH OPEN Djokovic tops Nadal in 3 sets Top-ranked man ends 9-time champ's 39-match win streak DAVID VINCENT — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Serbia's Novak Djokovic returns in a quarterfinal match Wednesday at the French Open against Spain's Rafael Nadal at the Roland Garros stadium, in Paris. larreal was third at 12.12. Villarreal also caught a 3.22-pound smallmouth bass for big fish honors. On Saturday night, the club held a potluck bar- becue and awards cere- mony for the past fish- ing year. Ted Smith won Angler of the Year with a total of 278 points. Kevin McLach- lan was a close second, Jesse Sisneros was third, Ben Pasquale took fourth and Paul Reynolds finished fifth. The club is always look- ing for new members so if you are interested contact Paul Reynolds at Red Bluff Sporting Goods. Anglers FROM PAGE 1 the NBA Finals. Curry is now the NBA's MVP and the Warriors, no longer the lowly laughing- stock from his rookie sea- son, won a league-best 67 games during the regu- lar season. They have lost three times at Oracle Arena all season, but that doesn't faze James as he tries to end Cleveland's 51-year pro sports title drought in his first season back there. "I've been in so many loud arenas. This is going to be one of them," he said. "I've played in OKC in the (2012) finals to start off the series. I've played in Bos- ton. I've played in Detroit when they were in their heyday. I've played in Chi- cago in 2011 to open up the Eastern Conference finals. I've played in San Antonio. "So I've been in some very loud buildings and this, obviously, I know to- morrow is going to be one of them. But I don't add too much pressure on it. You just go out and you just try to play." He has done that su- perbly in this postseason, averaging 27.6 points, 10.4 rebounds and 8.3 assists in the Eastern Conference playoffs. He has played bet- ter basketball — he brought up the 2009 East finals loss against Orlando, a month before Curry was drafted — but the steady hand he has provided with Kevin Love out and Kyrie Irving hurting has made James as good as he's ever been. "For me as leader of the team, it's my job to lead the guys and to perform well," James said. "At the end of the day, win, lose or draw, that's all I can ask out of myself and ask out of my guys, and we'll do that." His finals experience — he's the first to play in five straight finals since Bill Russell's Celtics of the 1960s — is one advantage for the Cavs against a War- riors team with no play- ers who have played for the championship. War- riors rookie coach Steve Kerr, who won five titles as a player, says he and as- sistant Luke Walton have talked to the team about what to expect now. "But what I really found as a player was once you get out on the floor, you just start playing and every- thing returns to normal," Kerr said. "It's still just a basketball game. But you've got to get to that point and the best way to do that is to try to ignore the chaos as much as you can." For Curry, keeping things normal Wednesday meant a haircut and some sun by his pool. And he knows James will be pre- pared, just as he once in- structed Curry. "He's a gamer," Curry said. "You know he's go- ing to be ready for big mo- ments." NBA FROM PAGE 1 Game 2 is Saturday night in Tampa. Ben Bishop stopped 19 shots and Alex Killorn scored in the opening min- utes for Tampa Bay, which appeared to be closing in on a gritty shutout vic- tory. Until Teravainen's goal through a two-man screen, the youthful Light- ning gave a stellar defen- sive effort against Chica- go's high-powered offense in front of a frenzied home crowd. The 6-foot-7 Bishop was a few minutes away from his third shutout in four games, including a tena- cious 2-0 victory over the New York Rangers to win the Eastern Conference ti- tle last Friday night. But Chicago's steady work in Tampa Bay's zone finally was rewarded in dramatic fashion. Shortly after Crawford stopped Ryan Callahan on a breakaway, Marcus Kru- ger and Valtteri Filppula provided screens in front of Bishop, who never saw Ter- avainen's shot for his third goal of the postseason. Moments later, Vermette collected a bouncing puck in the slot and beat Bishop for his third goal, provid- ing a big return on the Blackhawks' decision to acquire him at the trade deadline. The winner of Game 1 has won the Cup in 58 of the last 75 Finals since 1939, in- cluding the last three. Chicago roared into its third Final in six years and 13th overall after outlast- ing Anaheim in a memo- rable seven-game confer- ence final. A roster loaded with championship-win- ning players and veteran talent made the Black- hawks most observers' fa- vorite in the series despite questions about a defense relying heavily on just four players, including tireless star Duncan Keith. Tampa Bay needed 20 games to win its second Eastern Conference cham- pionship, but emerged from a Game 7 victory over the Rangers with a wealth of confidence.
