innati and a US Open runner-

  • February 21, 2019
    导出博客文章The Deutsche Bank Championship, the second event of the FedEx Cup playoffs,
    might be played at TPC Boston in Norton, Mass., for the last time this week for
    a couple of reasons.Deutsche Banks contract as title sponsor ends this year, and
    Bill Woodley, chief executive officer of Deutsche Bank Americas, wouldnt say
    recently if the German banking giant, which has had problems, will renew.We
    havent made a decision about that at this point, Woodley told reporters. The
    Tour is looking forward to giving some news on tournament week.In addition,
    there was talk earlier this year that the PGA Tour might shorten the playoffs
    from four events to three, and if that happens, it seems that the Deutsche Bank
    Championship might not make the cut.The players have taken to the concept of the
    playoffs, which are in their 10th year, but almost everybody agrees that the
    golf season is too long -- and things were complicated this year by golfs return
    to the Olympic Games.PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem acknowledged earlier this
    year that the players find the four-pronged playoff can be arduous, saying that
    other options are being considered.The 2016-17 PGA Tour schedule has been
    released, and the Deutsche Bank Championship is listed in its usual spot on
    Sept. 1-4, Labor Day weekend, with its usual Friday through Monday
    format.However, it is early and that could change, especially if Deutsche Bank
    pulls out.One thing that will change is that the Tiger Woods Foundation is
    leaving as the tournaments management team and primary charity, taking over the
    same duties at what is now the Genesis Open, the PGA Tours Los Angeles-area
    event at Riviera Country Club.However, if the tournament at TPC Boston survives,
    the first step is to land another title sponsor.The tournament has produced a
    top-drawer list of champions since it was first played in 2003, including Tiger
    Woods, Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott of Australia, Henrik Stenson of Sweden, Rory
    McIlroy of Northern Ireland, Vijay Singh of Fiji, Steve Stricker, and last year,
    Rickie Fowler.Fowler, who had a chance to win the Barclays last week but faded
    to a tie for seventh, scored points with the New England media when he showed up
    for Deutsche Bank Championship media day earlier this month at TPC Boston
    because few of the other former champions have done so the following year.And
    that was before he headed to Rio de Janeiro to play in the Olympics.Fowler
    survived a riveting head-to-head battle with Stenson to win by one stroke a year
    ago, coming from three strokes down on the back nine in the final round.It
    basically became kind of a two-man race, Fowler recalled. I remember making the
    turn ... and at that point we had kind of distanced ourselves a bit, and I
    thought if him and I could get out front, it would just be match play between
    the two of us.Came down to the last few holes, and he ends up kind of having a
    little bit of a miscue on 16, hitting one in the water, and I snuck out front
    and luckily held on.Fowler hadnt enjoyed much success previously at TPC Boston,
    as his best previous finish was a tie for 23rd in 2014.I hadnt had a good
    tournament here until last year, so I finally started to like this place more,
    said Fowler, who is 16th in the FedEx Cup standings. No, I never could figure it
    out. These guys were shooting low scores. I would go out and shoot a few under,
    and I felt pretty good about it and I was losing ground. It was hard.I like the
    look of this golf course; its always in great shape. I was walking past the
    putting green on the way up here and it looks like you guys are going to have
    some perfect greens to putt on. No, theres nothing really bad to say about it
    other than the fact that I hadnt played well up until last year. So weve got
    that out of the way, and I love this place now.Well find out of the PGA Tour
    does, too.

    . The lawyers filed a 33-page amended complaint Tuesday in federal court in
    Manhattan, expanding on the suit originally filed Oct. 3 in New York Supreme
    Court. Arbitrator Fredric Horowitz last week refused to compel Selig to testify
    in the grievance, and Rodriguez then walked out of the hearing without
    testifying.

    . There was no hesitation from the 40th-ranked Pospisil, from Vernon, B.C., who
    admitted that he cut back on his training sessions over the last few days to
    conserve energy as the long ATP season finishes next week at the Paris Masters.

    . Jeff Green scored 13 points and Kris Humphries 12 for the Celtics, who nearly
    blew an 18-point, second-half lead. Sullingers 20-20 was the first by a Celtics
    player since Kevin Garnetts first game in Boston in 2007. Garnett was dealt --
    along with Paul Pierce -- to Brooklyn during the off-season.

    . Its 1987 and a Brazilian playmaker, known as Mirandinha, is being paraded
    around St James Park to the passionate Newcastle fans. If you saw the final
    three games of Mondays round-robin match at the WTA Finals between No. 2 ranked
    Agnieszka Radwanska and No. 9 Svetlana Kuznetsova, you probably had a preview of
    what the WTA has in store for the near future: highly competitive matches
    between all-too-human players.Kuznetsova, who survived a long haul to qualify
    for the Singapore Finals on the last day of the regular season, overcame fatigue
    and jet lag. (She won in Moscow on Saturday and had to play in Singapore on
    Monday.) She then overcame Radwanskas familiar chicanery and retrieving ability
    to win 7-5, 1-6, 7-5 in 2 hours, 48 minutes.Kuznetsova had to dig deep. Its
    something that the free-spirited, soulful winner hasnt always done in matches
    during a career that has fluctuated as wildly as the weather. The basic lack of
    week-in, week-out consistency is one reason Kuznetsova, while a two-time Grand
    Slam winner, has qualified for the WTA Finals for just the first time in her
    career at age 31.Radwanska, seeded-second here and a former Grand Slam finalist
    but never champ, used her own shovel to help Kuznetsova dig. After a break, the
    Polish Popgun served for the match at 5-4. Her serve, already a borderline
    liability, immediately abandoned her. She wasted her match point when she
    delivered a watermelon of a second serve that Kuznetsova teed off on to set up a
    Radwanska error.From there, the rest of the match was decided by Radwanskas
    dodgy serve and faltering nerves. Having won just one match in their last nine
    meetings must have preyed on Radwanskas mind.The outcome, along with the other
    early scores as well as recent history, highlights the extent to which the WTA
    landscape is likely to be awash in smoke, noise and savage cries of despair or
    triumph in the coming days and months.The WTA no longer has a dominant player,
    nor a rivalry to drive its business model. What it probably will offer, though,
    is fiercely competitive battles between strikingly flawed players.Serena
    Williams might still be the nominal queen despite having surrendered her No. 1
    ranking to Angelique Kerber, but Williams has joined the mortal ranks again.
    Shes probably the greatest player of all time, but in our time she is now a
    flawed competitor. She has a great deal in common with the other women at or
    near the top of the game, all of whom are deficient in some way.Williams has
    injury-related issues. Shes lost the sangfroid and natural confidence she once
    possessed, and her commitment to featuring as a regular force on the tour is
    uncertain.Kerber is top-seeded in Singapore, and she probably has the fewest
    weaknesses in the field. Her transformation into a two-time Grand Slam champion
    (and three-time finalist) this year has been remarkable. Shes proved that shes
    no One-Slam Wonder.But you have to wonder if a 28-year-old veteran like Kerber
    has that sixth gear that would enable her to put down the hammer and
    dominate.ddddddddddddOn the more tangible level, that serve just isnt a
    top-class shot in an era where there are plenty of top-class
    returners.Radwanskas great weakness is also her serve, but unlike Kerber, she
    also suffers from a general lack of power. She has been a steady presence at or
    near the top and might get another chance to win a major, but her confidence
    falters when shes serving against quality opposition in a tight situation. Its
    hard to overcome that tendency.Simona Halep, seeded No. 3, looks great against
    many players. She picked apart Madison Keys in their first-round match in
    Singapore. But Halep seems unable to see herself as a true member of the elite.
    She often comes up short exactly when shes in position to take a critical step
    toward attaining that status. Some talented players have spent their careers
    finding ways to?not?win Grand Slam titles (hello, Tomas Berdych!). She might be
    one of them.Karolina Pliskova is just 24, and had a breakthrough year with her
    stellar win in Cincinnati and a US Open runner-up finish. But for all the talk
    about the pros no longer having to prove anything at very young ages, the
    reality is that winning and losing are habits. Pliskovas results since the US
    Open have been mediocre.Garbine Muguruza, the No. 5 seed, showed that shes
    capable of great things when she won her first Grand Slam title at the French
    Open last June. Shes just 23 and ought to be full of ambition, but she doesnt
    seem to have the urge to dominate, and seems to have trouble finding
    motivation.At 21, No. 6 Keys is the baby of the elite eight at the Finals. Shes
    had a great year, but she still has many days when her game goes off the boil.
    Sure, she has time. But its unlikely that shell suddenly become a consistent
    player at the age of 23, or 25 or 27.Dominika Cibulkova and Kuznetsova are
    seeded 7 and 8, respectively. Its hard to find fault with Cibulkova; you cant
    criticize someone for standing just 5-foot-3. But her height is a liability, and
    its hard to see her overcoming it against all players on all surfaces most of
    the time. Kuznetsova has a questioning nature. Shes never been on a quest for
    stardom, and that has undoubtedly contributed to her patchy record.Yet
    Kuznetsova could win this edition of the Finals despite all the factors aligned
    against her because she has been playing like a woman on a mission, inured to
    pressure. She certainly hears the clock ticking on her career. It would be a
    fitting ending if she did emerge the winner, under the principle underlying the
    common expression, The one-eyed man is king in the land of the blind.
