aheadofquiteagroup of guys with eight: An- dre Agassi, Jimmy Con- nors, Ivan Lendl, Fred Perry, Ken Rosewall. Plus, Djokovic is 28, and by all accounts only getting bet- ter. As for chasing the num- bers put up by contempo- raries Federer and Nadal? "I'm still far, far away from that. It's still a long way ahead," Djokovic said Monday at the All Eng- land Club, about 18 hours after earning his third Wimbledon champion- ship, and second in a row, with a 7-6 (1), 6-7 (10), 6-4, 6-3 victory over second- ranked Federer. "Winning one Grand Slam, I know what it takes. It's a lot of effort. A lot of things have to come together. So to reach these two guys would be something in- credible. But honestly, I'm not thinking about it now." Instead, Djokovic said, he derives motivation from his "passion and love for the sport, and just the joy that I find in play- ing tennis," along with a sense of "responsibil- ity" he feels to "keep go- ing and bring joy to my- self and to" those closest to him, including his wife and their 8-month-old son, Stefan. Djokovic also said he feels "like I have many years in front of me." That's probably true, al- though it will not be easy to maintain the pace he es- tablished recently. Over the past 20 Grand Slam tournaments, Djokovic has reached 15 finals — a Fe- dereresque rate — and won eight. And who were the men who lost to Djokovic in those eight? Federer (two), Nadal (three), and Andy Murray (three). Not too shabby. As Federer put it dur- ing the trophy ceremony at Centre Court on Sun- day: "Novak played not only great today but the whole two weeks, plus the whole year, plus last year, plus the year before that." If it weren't for a four- set loss to Stan Wawrinka in the French Open fi- nal, after knocking out Nadal in the quarterfi- nals, Djokovic would be heading to the U.S. Open, which he won in 2011, with a chance at a calen- dar-year Grand Slam, just like Serena Williams. Disappointing as that defeat against Wawrinka was, preventing him from claiming a career Grand Slam, Djokovic recovered quickly. "Considering where I was, my state of mind, I would say, three, four weeks ago," Djokovic said Monday, "it's pretty amaz- ing to be here with you today as the Wimbledon champion." It was pointed out to Djokovic that he is the only player who has beaten seven-time Wim- bledon champion Federer on the grass of the All England Club, as well as nine-time French Open champion Nadal on the red clay of Roland Garros. And Djokovic happened to do it in the span of a little more than a month. "That is a great achievement, now that you mention it," Djokovic said, leaning back in his chair. "I didn't think about it, but it feels pretty good. It's probably an ul- timate challenge to win against those two guys on their most preferred sur- faces." Tennis FROMPAGE1 of Kris Bryant, Matt Har- vey and many others, they've become the face of the All-Star Game and the future of the major leagues. "The Derek Jeter gener- ation in the last few years came to the end of their ca- reers. We have a great new crop of young players," new Commissioner Rob Man- fred said. This is an age when The Kids are All Right — a re- cord 20 of the 76 All-Stars for Tuesday night's game are 25 or younger, accord- ing to STATS. "I think the young talent in baseball is better than it's been in years," said Yan- kees first baseman Mark Teixeira, one of the older All-Stars at 35. "These are exciting players, players that kids can look up to." His former teammates — baseball royalty, in the form of Mariano Rivera and Jeter — are gone. The brash bats who rule the new era belong to Giancarlo Stanton, Yasiel Puig and Manny Machado, trying to solve bold arms led by Chris Archer, Cole and Harvey. Major League Baseball, which often relies on the nostalgia of its 19th-cen- tury roots, is striving to connect with 21st-century youth more familiar with Reddit and Tinder than Josh Reddick and Bran- den Pinder. "We're working very hard to give our fans the kind of access to those players and others in or- der to raise their aware- ness of these players," Manfred said. "We do re- alize we have a challenge in that regard because of what I characterize as gen- erational change." How different it was in 2011, when Trout was 19 and arrived at his first big league camp. Some Los An- geles Angels veterans in- vited him to dinner Mas- tro's City Hall Steakhouse in Scottsdale, Arizona. A waiter brought the check, which came to $1,800, and ace pitcher Jeff Weaver handed it to Trout and told him the bill was his to pay. When Trout arrived at Tempe Diablo Stadium a few days later, he found a toy truck in front of his locker. Inside were 7,200 quarters. And Weaver punked the newbie outfielder later in spring training with a message on the right-field scoreboard, urging fans to call "Mike Trout directly with your baseball ques- tions" during an exhibi- tion game — with his ac- tual cell phone number, of course. "It was pretty creative of them," said Trout, now a four-time All-Star and winner of an MVP award. "It's part of breaking into the big leagues." At 23, Bryant looks more high school student than big-time ballplayer. He made his big league debut in April, and his 12 hom- ers and 51 RBIs have given Chicago Cubs' fans hope of a first World Series title since 1908. Face of the game? He doesn't think so. "It is pretty cool to be mentioned in the same sentence as those guys," he said. All-Star FROM PAGE 1 fore the high mountains, a visibly shaken Basso ap- peared with Contador at a news conference and announced that just two hours earlier, doctors di- agnosed a tumor in his left testicle that had been painful since he crashed on Stage 5. Contador put his arm around Basso and vowed, his voice cracking with emotion, to do his best to win the race to honor his teammate. Basso said he has cancer. "I have a small cancer in the left testicle," he said. "I have to stop and go back to Italy." But his Tinkoff-Saxo team said more tests are needed to be certain the tumor is cancerous. "Probabilities are very high," Pierre Orphanidis, a team spokesman, said in an Associated Press inter- view. "We still need the fur- ther analysis to be 100 per- cent sure." Tour FROM PAGE 1 LAURENTCIPRIANI—THEASSOCIATEDPRESS Italy's Ivan Basso has announced that he has cancer in his le testicle and is dropping out of the Tour de France. By Tim Dahlberg The Associated Press ST. ANDREWS, SCOTLAND Dustin Johnson isn't much for looking back. He doesn't spend a lot of time wonder- ing what might have been just a few weeks ago at the U.S. Open. But if he needed a re- minder of how close he came to winning his first major title at Chambers Bay, he won't have to look far Thursday at the British Open. There on the first tee with him at St. Andrews will be Jordan Spieth, who became the U.S. Open champion when Johnson 3-putted the final green from 12 feet. "I like playing with Jor- dan," Johnson said. "No pressure, though." Not in the opening round, for sure, when the pressure will be on Spieth to get off to a good start in search of his third major championship of the year. And maybe not even on Sunday, when Johnson could be one of the contend- ers to upend Spieth and his chase for the third leg of the Grand Slam. "I'm playing in the next two, so we'll have to see," Johnson said. If recent history is any indication, Johnson fig- ures to be in the mix at this Open, just as he was at the U.S. Open. Johnson can only hope the outcome won't be as cruel as it was at Chambers Bay, where he missed a 12-footer to win, then missed a 4-footer com- ing back to miss a Monday playoff. Instead of being known as a champion who hit driver and 5-iron on the par-5 to get into position for a winning eagle on that final hole, Johnson must deal with a growing repu- tation of not being able to close the big ones. "I hit two great shots, and unfortunately my ball — I don't know how it stayed where it did, above the hole up there, but unfor- tunately it stayed there and it was just a tough putt," he said. "I was trying to make it, but I wanted it to barely go in, and it still went 4 feet by. Hit a good putt on the way back, and it just bounced and missed left." Disappointment in the final round is not new to Johnson. He lost a PGA Championship in 2010 at Whistling Straits by grounding his club in an 18th-hole hazard he wasn't aware existed. He had the lead in the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach the same year before collapsing.
