He didn't, seizing con- trol by taking the last six points of the tiebreaker, then grabbing 12 of the fi- nal 14 games. Hoping to see Gasquet become the first French- man to hoist the trophy since Yannick Noah in 1983, spectators urged him on with repeated cho- ruses of "Ree-shard!" They even loved a tremendous point Gasquet lost, when he wound up flat on his back, leaving his arms, legs, shirt, socks and shoes caked with the rust-col- ored dirt. Murray's white hat was smudged with clay, too. His entire being was smoth- ered with angst. He pointed at his tem- ple. He screamed, "Hit it! Just hit it!" He looked up the folks in his guest box, including coach Jamie Del- gado, and shouted various complaints, mostly craving more feedback. Wawrinka said he saw a bit of the entertain- ment offered by Murray and Gasquet before head- ing out on court. His vic- tory was over so quickly — it lasted less than 2 hours; Murray's went nearly 3 hours — that he would get a chance to catch the end of that other quarterfinal. "It's ideal for me," Waw- rinka said. What was truly ideal for the French Open as a whole was that there was so much action and nary a rain de- lay. Because of showers, zero points were played Monday, and only about 2 hours' worth were con- tested Tuesday. The quarterfinals in the top half of the men's draw were finally es- tablished: No. 1 Novak Djokovic against No. 7 To- mas Berdych, and No. 12 David Goffin against No. 13 Dominic Thiem. All the rain tightened the sched- ule to the point that play- ers could have to compete several days in a row to get to the final, instead of en- joying a major's usual off- days. With more wet weather in the forecast, the pros- pect of completing the tournament by Sunday is iffy. "Not much ... you can do about the weather," said Djokovic, aiming to win his fourth consecutive ma- jor trophy and complete a career Grand Slam. After his 3-6, 6-4, 6-1, 7-5 victory over No. 14 Ro- berto Bautista Agut, which was suspended in the third set Tuesday, Djokovic con- tinued his charm offensive with the fans. Tennis FROM PAGE 1 tween the locomotive and the lightning bolt. They have reached the stratosphere within the league and global sport- ing conscience, have made their teammates better by virtue of their unparalleled skills and can take over a game in the blink of an eye. They also both were born in Akron, in the same hos- pital no less. But there is not a lot of real estate to be sold on the common ground between James and Curry. James has been a star since puberty, growing up with a single mother and under the glare cre- ated by the Sports Illus- trated spotlight. No cover jinx there. He was the con- sensus No. 1 draft choice in 2004 and has fulfilled all of that promise and then some while asserting him- self as the league's con- science with his willing- ness to speak boldly on so- cial issues. The limelight hasn't al- ways been comfortable. James has been scrutinized as much as any athlete in his era, each tweet parsed for deeper meaning, each loss in the finals offered as a shortcoming. "I think I've exceeded ex- pectations in my life as a professional," James said. "I'm a statistic that was supposed to go the other way, growing up in the in- ner city, having a single- parent household. It was just me and my mother. So everything I've done has been a success." Curry grew up in the af- fluence created by father Dell's 16-year NBA career with all the advantages but the size. He was over- looked by the power col- leges and chosen seventh overall in 2010 because many scouts weren't sure if he would be big enough and quick enough to play in the league. Now he has put an en- tire shoe company on the map, led the Warriors to a record 73 regular-sea- son wins and has kids the world over mimicking the way he heads back up the court without watching his shot splash through the hoop. "The casual fan might relate better to Steph be- cause he doesn't have that athletic just God-given abil- ity," Thompson said. "It's tough to say. It's just per- sonal preference, honestly." James and Curry made clear their preference is to focus on the game. They have little time right now for greatest-ever debates or marketing slogans. Curry wants a second straight championship. James is trying to end Cleveland's 52-year cham- pionship drought. "The fact that we're go- ing back to back, I think, is pretty unique," James said. "It's pretty unique to be in this position to have another opportunity for guys to write about, for us to play it, for the people to talk about it throughout the world. I'm blessed that I can be a part of conver- sations." NBA FROM PAGE 1 in right field. Pence had missed six games in late May because of a strained right ham- string, but returned to the lineup Saturday at Co- ors Field. He played four games without incident, and said he felt encouraged at how the hamstring was responding. Now it appears the Gi- ants (33-22) could be with- out their leading RBI man for quite some time. Brandon Belt temporar- ily eased the pain , hitting a two-run home run, and five relievers protected Al- bert Suarez's solid work to position the right-hander for victory in his first ma- jor league start. But Casilla hit a batter, allowed a soft single and threw a pitch in the dirt to set up the Giants' 0-1 start to June following a 21-win month of May. They took the field against the Atlanta Braves already lessened by a fac- tor of two because of ham- string injuries. Outfielder Angel Pagan isn't eligible to come off the disabled list for another week, and right- handerMattCainpulledhis hamstring in his last start Friday at Coors Field. Suarez took the mound in Cain's stead with all the usual pressure that comes with a pitcher's first major start, plus a standard to up- hold. The Giants rotation had just ended May with a 2.47 ERA, the lowest in the majors and the franchise's best in a single month since September, 1990. Since the No. 5 starter's next turn would fall on Monday's open date, this might be the only spot start that the Giants ask Suarez to make. Then again, the Gi- ants might have been suf- ficiently impressed to let Suarez start again Tuesday in the homestand opener against the Boston Red Sox and give the remainder of their rotation an extra day of rest, which they usually prefer to do. Suarez's stuff merited a second look, and a double take. He hit 96 mph in the first inning and painted the edges of the strike zone while facing one more than the minimum over the first five innings. Watching Suarez work, it's hard to imagine why the Los Angeles Angels — the same team that just inked Tim Lincecum — didn't make a stronger bid to re-sign the 26-year-old. Giants FROM PAGE 1 Nick Bonino, who slid the puck through the crease past Jones to Kessel's tap-in into the vacated net 11:40 into the second period. The Sharks wanted to test Murray more than they did in Game 1, where they managed just 26 shots. It didn't happen enough Wednesday. Through two periods, they had just nine shots at even strength and two more on a power play. Sharks coach Pete De- Boer switched up his lines in the third period to help jump-start the offense, as Joel Ward was moved to the second line with Lo- gan Couture and Joonas Donskoi. Patrick Marleau was moved to the third line to play with Chris Tierney and Melker Karlsson. The Sharks, who lost the Cup final opener 3-2 to the Penguins on Monday, were 0 for 10 in their his- tory when they trailed a se- ries two-games-to-zero. In the history of the final, a team that has lost the first two games has lost the se- ries 44 of 49 times. The last team to fall be- hind 0-2 and still win the Cup was the Boston Bruins in 2011, who dropped two games on the road to start the series against the Van- couver Canucks. They then came back to win four of the next five and capture the final in seven games. The Bruins won all three games at home and then won Game 7 in Vancouver. The Sharks came into Monday 5-1 in the playoffs in games after a loss, with their only back-to-back de- feats coming in games 3 and 4 of their second round series against the Nashville Predators. In the Western Confer- ence final, the Sharks lost Game 1 the St. Louis Blues 2-1, then came back with a 4-0 victory in Game 2 to even the series. The Sharks also lost Game 4 at SAP Center 6-3, then came back with a 6-3 victory of their own on the road in a pivotal Game 5.
