NEW YORK -- Garbine Muguruza cant imagine taking off much more than two weeks, let alone nearly two years.So much has happened to the young Spaniard in the last few months since she beat Serena Williams to win her first major title at the French Open. Yet now that shes followed that up by losing in the second round at consecutive Grand Slams, Muguruza insisted she doesnt need to recharge or reset.Just keep playing, she said, and keep having chances to win matches and tournaments.Muguruza had just lost in straight sets at the U.S. Open on Wednesday to 48th-ranked Anastasija Sevastova, who returned to tennis last season after an almost two-year retirement. Sevastova, 26, stepped away in May 2013 because of a series of injuries and said she enjoyed the opportunities that came with the hiatus.She came back, she said in an on-court interview, for moments like this, playing on the biggest stage. Sevastova did just that when she beat a major champion to open the night session in Arthur Ashe Stadium, the sports largest venue.Its amazing -- on Ashe, in night match, she added. Whats going to be bigger?Muguruza, 22, dazzled on the biggest of stages when she won at Roland Garros. Then in her next major, she fell to 124th-ranked Jana Cepelova in the second round at Wimbledon.Next came Wednesdays 7-5, 6-4 loss. As she has before, the third-seeded Muguruza maintained that the defeat had nothing to do with the lingering effects of that breakthrough championship.I dont think about the French Open any second. Its past, she said. Everybodys looking forward to the next one, the next tournament.Muguruza has never been past the second round at Flushing Meadows. As for Wednesdays loss, she mostly attributed it to Sevastovas shot-making: Everything she was doing was kind of working.At least until the Latvian was trying to serve for the match leading 5-1 in the second set. After Sevastova failed to convert two match points, Muguruza got one break back, then the other.Sevastova, who reached the round of 16 at the 2011 Australian Open, acknowledged she was shaking at the end.I had to solve my head, myself, all the thoughts of what could be, what could not, she said.She reminded herself that she still led the set at 5-4, then went out and broke Muguruzas serve to clinch the victory.Before the match, Sevastova and her boyfriend reminisced about when she came to Flushing Meadows last year after she returned to tennis that January. She was pumped simply to be playing in qualifying.She wound up losing her first match then. A year later, Sevastova was in the second round of the main draw playing a night match on Ashe. She had been 0-2 against top-five opponents and is in the third round at the U.S. Open for the first time.Life can be funny sometimes, she said.Her mother, an English teacher back in Latvia, is with her in New York, the first time shes ever traveled to a Grand Slam. Shes supposed to go home Thursday, though now Mom wants to stay.Sevastovas best friend is in town, too.Well maybe go somewhere, Sevastova said of what celebration might be in the works. They will drink -- I will watch. Dwayne Harris Jersey .

Scott won the Australian PGA last week in his first event in Australia since winning the U.S. Masters in April.

Former heavyweight world champion Wladimir Klitschko will not face titleholder Anthony Joshua or anyone else on Dec. 10. Instead he will sit out until March or April, manager Bernd Boente told ESPN on Monday.Klitschko has already been out of the ring for 11 months because his rematch with Tyson Fury, who outpointed him to take the title belts in a massive upset last November, was postponed from July 9 to Oct. 29 and then canceled altogether because of Furys litany of personal problems, including drug and alcohol abuse and depression.Klitschko was planning to either challenge Joshua for his IBF belt on Dec. 10 in the divisions most anticipated fight, at Manchester Arena in Manchester, England, or fight on the same day at the Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg, Germany, probably against Lucas Browne for the WBA belt, one of the titles Fury vacated because he was unavailable to box while dealing with his issues.However, Ukraines Klitschko will instead sit idle until the spring for a variety of reasons, Boente said.One is the timing. With only five weeks before the fight date, Klitschkos opponent remains unsettled, not to mention there is very little time remaining to mount a promotion and sell tickets, and pay-per-view in the case of a Joshua bout.Another reason is because the WBA still has not announced whether it will sanction Joshua-Klitschko for its vacant title, which is a deal-breaker for Klitschko. WBA president Gilberto Mendoza told ESPN that the committee responsible for deciding the matter voted last week, but the announcement of the decision has been repeatedly delayed and is due any day.Adding to those issues is the fact that Klitschko suffered a mild calf muscle injury training last week.Wladimir pulled a muscle in the calf last week, Boente said. Its nothing that bad that we couldnt go through with a fight if we had something set up, but we discussed things over the weekend. Regardless of the injury, we decided that if we get good news from the WBA that Wladimir can fight for that title against Joshua, we would do it in the spring because we need more time to market and promote such a big fight. We only have five weeks until [Dec. 10]. We still hope the WWBA will sanction the fight.ddddddddddddFrom the beginning, it was Wladimirs wish and Joshuas that we could do the fight. Both sides want it. There is no fight at this moment that is bigger than this fight without any doubt. So why rush it?Englands Joshua (17-0, 17 KOs), 27, still plans to fight somebody else on Dec. 10 in Manchester and then hopes to face Klitschko in the first bout of a two-fight deal with him. Joshua could face countryman and one-time top prospect David Price (21-3, 18 KOs), 33, who has won two low-level bouts in a row but has been knocked out in his three losses since 2013 and is not considered a serious threat.Boente said Klitschkos German television partner, RTL, is squeezed for time to put on any Klitschko fight on Dec. 10 since it would have to sell pricey commercial time while Joshuas television partner, Sky Sports in the United Kingdom, would ideally have more time to mount a major pay-per-view marketing push.Boente said he and Joshua promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing are on the same page, believing that if the WBA sanctions the bout and they do it in the spring it will allow them to hold the fight at an outdoor arena in the United Kingdom with a much larger capacity than Manchester Arena.Lets say we have someone else Wladimir was going to fight in Germany on Dec. 10, we still have not even announced the fight, Boente said. We have a lot to do. We have to fill an arena. There is just not enough time. And if he was fighting Joshua, we need to do more than just a press conference. We need to do a tour, go to Germany also. We decided with Eddie a fight this big needs more time to market than five weeks.The 40-year-old Klitschko (64-4, 54 KOs), who had his 9?-year title reign ended by Fury, is already in the midst of the longest layoff of his career because the cancellation of the rematch. But Klitschko told ESPN is he looking forward to fighting next year, whomever it is against.Im healthy and will be ready to fight Joshua or whoever else, hopefully for multiple titles, sometime soon, Klitschko said.
