Serena:
Continued from Page IB
Serena focused and beat Venus
4-6,6-4,6-2 Saturday for her sec-
ond straight Wimbledon title. Its
her fifth championship in the past
six Grand Slams, each capped by a
victory over Venus.
"I have to look at the big picture.
Twenty years from now, I don’t
want to look back and say, 'You
know what? I realty should have
fought harder,”’ top-ranked Serena
said. “It was a little more difficult,
seeing as it was Venus that's
injured. I just had to tell myself to
look at the ball and nothing else.”
Venus started the match — her
fourth straight Wimbledon final,
including wins in 2000-01 and last
year’s loss to Serena — with her
midsection and upper left leg taped.
She got more wrapping in the
timeout after being broken to open
the third set, when she double-
faulted twice, put a forehand in the
net and generally looked miser-
able.
“I couldn’t run too fast I could-
n’t stretch out too much,” she said.
“I was hitting serves in the net
because it’s harder to reach up.”
Her serve speeds were down
around 85 mph by then, 2Q-to-30
mph slower than usual, and after
hitting them she would wince.
But she wist determined jo play.
This was, after all, a Winfbledon
final apd — perhaps more signifi-
cantly — she was facing her sister.
The family drew boos and jeers at
a 2001 tournament in California
after an injured Venus withdrew
right before a semifinal against
Serena.
“Everyone’s quite familiar with
the history. I had to at least show
up and go out on the court,” Venus
said. “Serena and I have taken a lot
of slack, so I felt I had to take one
for the team.”
Actually, Venus might not even
have been a finalist at all if not
for Serena. When Venus aggra-
vated the two-month-old stom-
ach muscle strain during her
semifinal against Kim Clysters,
it was Serena’s encouragement
during a rain delay that kept her
going.
Venus skipped practice Friday,
and cut short a session two hours
before the final, limping away after
10 minutes with a left groin
twinge.
“I think she was very coura-
geous to go out there and pity,”
said trainer Karen Davis, who
treated Venus and predicted she’ll
be out two-to-four weeks.

Armstrong:
Continued from Pago IB
I was struggling with the pounding of
the cobblestones. But the race will
change.”
He then got in a car as a half-dozen
riot police surrounded him to hold back
spectators.
Armstrong, who came back from
cancer to win the first of his Tour de
France victories in 1999, is trying to
become only the second man to capture
five consecutive Tours.
He still has thousands of miles left in
the punishing three-week race in which
to stamp his authority.
McGee, an Olympic bronze medalist
from Australia, finished the last few
hundred yards with a tire puncture and
was a fraction of a second faster than
David Millar of Britain.
Spain’s Haimar Zubeldia was third,
two seconds off McGee’s pace.
Armstrong, who won the 2002 pro-
logue, raced last because he is the
defending champion.
“It’s like being in another world. It
feels great,” said McGee, wearing the
yellow jersey awarded to the overall
Tour leader. “The dream of dreams is to
hold on to the jersey as long as possi-
ble.”
Jan Ullrich, the 1997 Tour winner
and a threat to Armstrong, was fourth,
two seconds back. He is regaining his
form after missing more than a year
because of injuries and drug ban.
Another potential rival, U.S. rider
Tyler Hamilton, finished sixth, one spot
and one second ahead of Armstrong.
Hamilton is a former teammate of
Armstrong’s who now rides for the
Danish CSC team.
Other^challengers — Joseba Beloki
of Spain and Giro d’Italia winner
Gilberto Simoni of Italy — were eighth
and 21st.

already are making sacrifices to
assist the Blue Thunder.
“A couple of the other tourna-
ment teams in Baytown,” Rivardo
said, “they called and said they’re
gonna pull money from their
teams' kitties to help out. That’s
just incredible.”
The Blue Thunder is anchored
by a three-pitcher rotation. Tara
Bell is the hard-throwing ace of
the staff, and Kenna Terry and
Haley Epperson offer differing
styles to help keep batters off bal-
ance.
Completing the battery is catch-
er Samantha Valdes, whose can-
non arm has sent many a potential
base-stealer back to the dugout.
“She has a gun," Rivardo said.
“She really keeps them honest.” Sounds Of Thunder
Offensively, Rivardo said the ' Baytown Blue Thunder
team has some extra-base hitters tournament finlshes ta 2003:

The Baytown West 12-year-old all-
stars lost 3-2 to NASA East on
Saturday. The loss came in extra
innings and marked the first defeat for
Baytown in tournament play.
Baytown led 2-0 with a perfect game
in tact going into the sixth inning of the
contest. David Hernandez pitched three
perfect innings to begin the game. Alex
Rocha Jr. came on in relief and contin-
ued the no-hitter into the fifth. Kyle
Robins came on in the fifth inning and
continued the perfect game into the
sixth inning.
With two outs, NASA West reached
base for the first time of the night on an
error by the Baytown third baseman.
The error led to two runs and a 2-2
score going into extra innings. NASA
West again capitalized on Baytown’s
misfortunes when the second baseman
fumbled a grounder to plate the win-
ning run. Baytown West is 2-1 in tour-
nament play and will face Galeveston
West tonight at 7 p.m. at Baytown West
field.
