.C. -- Venus Williams advanced in the tournament where her top-ranked sister
could not, battling from behind at the Family Circle Cup to defeat Chanelle
Scheepers 7-5, 7-5 on Wednesday. It was another long day for Williams, ranked
No. 28 in the world, who needed 1 hour, 50 minutes to finish the straight-set
victory over the South African. Williams fell behind 3-1 in the first set and
trailed 4-1 in the second. "She was playing so well, but the good thing is that
when I get behind, I give even more effort and get even more focused. And Ive
been playing well from behind lately, which is something you really have to be
able to do to win big matches," Williams said. The seven-time Grand Slam
champion has battled injuries and Sjogrens syndrome, a fatigue-causing
autoimmune disease, during the past two years. She was on the green clay in
Charleston for 2 hours, 15 minutes on Tuesday in a three-set victory and said
she has been ill this week. "Im still dealing with the bug, but my goal is just
to hang in there until it hopefully goes away and then I can just continue to
play my way into the tournament and play stronger," she said. "But its
definitely a challenge." On Tuesday night her sister, top-ranked Serena
Williams, was stunned 6-4, 6-4 by Jana Cepelova of Slovakia, ranked No. 78 in
the world, in the second round. Serena Williams said later she was tired and
needed time off to regroup. "I definitely can see where she is tired and her
body is taxed," Venus Williams said of her sister. "She gave an amazing effort
yesterday, and shes going to get some well-deserved time off from winning."
Venus Williams, who won the Family Circle a decade ago, now faces No. 20 Eugenie
Bouchard. No. 8 Jelena Jankovic, the tournaments No. 2 seed, later scored a 6-0,
6-3 victory over American Lauren Davis. Jankovic won the Family Circle back in
2007 and was runner-up last year to Serena Williams. Earlier Wednesday, American
Sloane Stephens was upset 6-4, 6-4 by 19-year-old Elina Svitolina of the
Ukraine, who has a career-high No. 35 ranking. It was her fourth career victory
over a top 20 player, the third coming last week at the Sony Open. "She played
pretty well, and its just unfortunate that I lost, but I mean, you can just
learn from the mistakes and things like that and build on it," Stephens said. "I
started to believe more in myself that I can compete with players like this, top
level, top 20 and top 10," said Svitolina, who is making her first appearance on
the green clay in Charleston. "I think this is the key. That I believe more in
myself and I play more solid from the baseline and trying to go forward to
finish the point earlier." In other matches, Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia
defeated American qualifier Grace Min 6-2, 6-3 while Elena Vesnina of Russia
stopped Petra Cetkovska of the Czech Republic, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4. Italian Sara
Errani, ranked No. 11 in the world and seeded third, advanced as well. She won
the first set 6-3 when qualifier Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands retired.
Fourth-seeded Sabine Lisicki of Germany was extended to three sets before
defeating American Vania King 7-5, 4-6, 6-3. Andrea Petkovic of Germany, the
14th seed, defeated Lourdes Dominguez Lino of Spain 6-0, 6-0 while Shuai Peng of
China eliminated 15th-seeded Madison Keys of the United States 6-1, 6-7 (3) and
7-6 (4). Qualifier Belinda Bencic of Switzerland defeated Marina Erakovic of New
Zealand 6-2, 6-1.

.B. -- Christophe Boivin forced extra time then scored again in a shootout to
lift the Acadie-Bathurst Titan to a 4-3 win over the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies in
the lone Quebec Major Junior Hockey League game Thursday.DENVER - Patrick Roy
returned to the Colorado Avalanche to restore the glory years he helped forge,
and hes enjoying the ride with a young team playing at a high level. Nick Holden
scored two goals, Ryan OReilly had a goal and an assist and the Avalanche
rallied to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 6-3 on Sunday night. Semyon Varlamov
stopped 31 shots and Erik Johnson and Tyson Barrie also scored for the
Avalanche, who have won two straight. Roy helped lead Colorado to two Stanley
Cup titles in 1996 and 2001 as the goaltender with a dynamic offence in front of
him. Now as the coach, hes bringing back memories of that era. "You ask me what
reminds me of the Avalanche of the past, thats the type of hockey we were
playing," he said. "And thats the way were playing right now." Those
championship teams also featured goal-scoring defencemen, something lacking from
last years squad. Colorados blue-liners had just five goals in 48 games a year
ago. The Avalanche got four goals from its defence Sunday, including Johnsons
first in his return from a two-game suspension for a slash on New York Islanders
centre Frans Nielsen three weeks ago. "Its tough sitting out, and to be able to
come back and contribute and help the team win is fun," he said. Johnson scored
the go-ahead goal at 16:05 of the third when he pinched in to steal the puck and
then sent a low shot past 6-foot-7 goalie Ben Bishop from along the boards. "I
know (Bishop) from St. Louis, and I shot at him a lot," Johnson said. "Hes
obviously a big guy and he doesnt give you a lot of room. Sometimes, big guys
like that, you throw it at their feet and they dont see it." Nate Thompson had
two goals, Tom Pyatt also scored and Bishop finished with 29 saves for the
Lightning, who had four penalties in the last 21:28 of the game. "The penalties
killed us," centre Alex Killorn said. "Six minutes where we didnt play in their
zone." Holden tied it wiith a power-play goal at 5:12 of the third.

It was Colorados sixth power-play goal in the past three games. Holden notched
his second two-goal game when he scored into an empty net with 53 seconds
remaining. Paul Stastny added another with 6.3 seconds left. "This is a tough
one," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. "Tied game with under five minutes to go.
I thought we were getting points from this one. We let them slip out of our
hands." Thompson has eight goals, and four of them have come in a pair of
two-goal games. He got his first one Sunday when he beat Varlamov on the short
side 6:40 into the second period to tie it at 2. Later in the period, he sent a
wrister at Varlamov that settled in the crease, and then he skated through to
knock it in at 17:37. The Lightning missed an opportunity to move into second
place in the Atlantic Division and third in the Eastern Conference after
Colorados late-game eruption. "I think were going through a little bit of a
rough patch," Thompson said. "A couple breakdowns there at the end and they end
up in the back of the net, unfortunately." Colorado stayed within three points
of St. Louis in the Central Division with the win. The Blues beat Phoenix on
Sunday. The game was scoreless for most of the first period despite plenty of
chances. Lightning centre Vladislav Namestnikov had two of them and Colorado
centre Matt Duchene was stopped on a breakaway. Tampa Bay finally cashed in when
Pyatt scored at 16:49 of the first. Barrie tied it 30 seconds later with a shot
between Bishops legs, and OReilly gave Colorado a 2-1 lead with his 23rd of the
season 1:42 later. NOTES: Duchene and Nathan MacKinnon finished with two
assists. ... Tampa Bay C Valtteri Filppula missed his fourth straight game with
a non-displaced fracture in his right ankle. ... MacKinnon extended his points
streak to 11 games. Its the longest streak by a rookie since Stastny had one of
20 games during the 2006-07 season.
