Federer wins, to dismay of all of Britain...Coach K says Team USA more versatile

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Hope turned to disappointment one more time for Andy Murray and British tennis, which has now gone 76 years without a British male winning Wimbledon.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — Rookie Ted Potter Jr. rolled in a 4-foot birdie putt on the third hole of a playoff with Troy Kelly on Sunday to win the Greenbrier Classic for his first PGA Tour victory.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Andrew McCutchen hit two home runs, Neil Walker homered among his five hits and the Pittsburgh Pirates entered the All-Star break in sole possession of first place following a 13-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The U.S. men's Olympic basketball team selected over the weekend will look much different than the one that captured gold four years ago in Beijing. But coach Mike Krzyzewski (shuh-SHEF'-skee) says this team is more versatile but will have to make up for the loss of injured stars Dwyane (dwayn) Wade, Chris Bosh and Dwight Howard, mainstays from the gold-medal winning team from four years ago.
