rankedMadisonBrengleof the U.S. It was the first so-called "double bagel" at the All England Club in six years — No. 14 Andrea Petkovic added another later against Shelby Rogers of the U.S. — and first for the elder Williams on a grass court since her first match on the surface, back in 1997. If she and her sister can each win twice more this week, they would face each other Monday in the fourth round. That would be their first Grand Slam meeting since Serena won the 2009 Wimbledon final, and their earliest matchup at a major in a decade. W hen Serena was asked about that possi- bility, she said she didn't know there could be an all-Williams match in the round of 16. "You know what?" she said. "I'm going to just fo- cus on right now." Wimbledon FROMPAGE1 "I think a lot of people have respect for her," U.S. defender Ali Krieger said. "She's consistent, she's con- fident, she does her job re- ally well and she's the leader of that team. They really look to her for mak- ing those MVP plays, and consistently does that at the right times." Angerer, 36, has said she plans to retire follow- ing the World Cup. HISTORY This is the fourth meeting between the two teams at the World Cup. In each instance the winner has gone on to claim the title. The United States de- feated Germany 5-1 in the semifinals of the first wom- en's tournament in 1991 then went on to beat Nor- way in the final. The Americans beat Ger- many 3-2 in the 1999 quar- terfinals, going on to beat Japan on penalty kicks in the final on home soil at the Rose Bowl. The Germans beat the United States 3-0 in Port- land, Oregon, in the semi- finals then beat Sweden 2-1 in Carson, California, for the team's first title in 2003. Overall, the United States is 18-4-7 against the Germans. AFTER TUESDAY NIGHT The victor will face the win- ner of the other semifinal between defending cham- pion Japan, ranked No. 5 in the world, and sixth-ranked England at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton on Wednesday night. The final is set for next Sunday at BC Place in Vancouver. Cup FROM PAGE 1 of the Boston Celtics. "We think we've made the ma- jor leaps." But local Olympics op- ponents say the latest ver- sion of the plan still fails to guarantee taxpayers won't foot the bill in the event of cost overruns or revenue shortfalls. Chris Dempsey, co- chairman of the No Bos- ton Olympics group, said organizers haven't delved into the details of a pro- posed insurance plan to protect taxpayer interests, including whether there's an insurer actually willing to provide the coverage. "They still have not ex- plained why city of Bos- ton taxpayers need to take the risk and sign a blank check," he said. "Boston 2024's only real insurer is the taxpayers of Massa- chusetts." Olympics organizers, in the hundreds of glossy pages released Monday, described a "multi-layer" insurance package costing roughly $128 million. Based off a package Chi- cago proposed in its ulti- mately unsuccessful bid for the 2016 Games, the insurance would include an umbrella policy cover- ing a range of issues like non-payment by sponsors or cancellation, as well as individual policies for venue-building projects. Pagliuca promised more details about the idea would be forthcoming. "From the way we're looking at it, we've got four layers of protection," he said. "There is very lit- tle risk that these insur- ances won't cover every is- sue that can happen." Boston's bid has stum- bled since getting the ini- tial nod from the USOC, with local opposition and low poll numbers forcing organizers to spread some venues across the state to gain political support the bid couldn't muster inside the city. About half of the 32 venues have been relo- cated or otherwise shuf- fled since the original plan was announced, including moving some games from iconic Boston locales like the Common, Boston Har- bor and nearby Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. Pagliuca said the pro- posed games would still be among the most com- pact in Olympics history, with 23 of the venues within a short radius. Organizers said they're still firming up venues for swimming and other in- door aquatic sports, golf and biking events. Organizers now esti- mate the games will pro- duce at least $4.8 billion in revenues from televi- sion broadcast rights, tick- ets sales, corporate spon- sorships and other reve- nues. They assume nearly $4.6 billion in costs, in- cluding about $754 mil- lion to build Olympic ven- ues and more than $2 billion for technology, workforce and related support services costs. That leaves about a $210 million in contin- gency and surplus, orga- nizers said. Olympics FROM PAGE 1 be sent back down to the minors or wondering how they'll respond to the hard times that might be around the corner. The manager is not about to throw cold water on rookie Xavier Scruggs, a recent first-time call-up who has nine hits in his last five games and an RBI in each of the last three, helping the Cardinals run their winning streak to six and widen their lead to nine games in the NL Central. "Oh, this is awesome," Scruggs said. "It's every- thing you dream of, just be- ing part of the best team in baseball. Just being able to able to play a little part is just great for me." Some of the reasons be- hind the Cardinals' run of success: Stingyarms The biggest reason, by far, for a start of historic proportions is the pitch- ing minus ace Adam Wain- wright, sidelined for the year in April with a torn Achilles tendon. The 2.61 ERA leads the majors by far, and the Pirates are the only other team with an ERA be- low 3.00. Over the last five games, the opposition has mus- tered just six runs, and that's no isolated stretch. The Cardinals have al- lowed two or fewer runs an amazing 44 times, going 37-7. Michael Wacha (10-3, 2.77), Carlos Martinez (9-3, 2.80) and Lance Lynn (5-4, 2.84) are all among the ERA league leaders. The Cardinals had enough confidence in Mar- tinez, in his first year in the rotation, to stick with him after two rain de- lays in Sunday's 4-1 vic- tory over the Cubs that completed a three-game sweep. Medical marvel Jaime Garcia, coming off thoracic outlet surgery af- ter years of shoulder trou- ble, is 3-3 with a 1.69 ERA in seven outings. Sterling bullpen Closer Trevor Rosenthal has a 0.52 ERA and one blown save in 24 chances. St. Louis leads the league with 30 saves overall with Carlos Villanueva (1.37), Kevin Siegrist (1.52) and Miguel Socolovich (1.69) all under 2.00. The Cardinals are 29-7 at home, the best ever in the divisional era that be- gan in 1969 according to STATS, and they lead the majors with 22 come-from- behind wins. Just enough The offense does its part minus Matt Holli- day and Matt Adams for long stretches. Scruggs has earned recent time at first base ahead of veteran Mark Reynolds and is not being prepared for the inevitable "rough patch." "Mark's still going to be a big part of what we're do- ing here, but Xavier is put- ting together some at-bats you can't ignore," Matheny said. "That's what a young guy's supposed to do — you get an opportunity, jump on it." Another neophyte, out- fielder Greg Garcia, is 5 for 10 with a critical homer.
