BEAVER CREEK, Colo.
Sergi
Roberto Jersey . -- Ted Ligety turned in a flawless final run to win a
fourth straight World Cup giant slalom race, edging U.S. teammate Bode Miller.
Ligety completed the technical course in a two-run combined time of 2 minutes,
35.77 seconds on Sunday, eclipsing Miller by 1.32 seconds. Marcel Hirscher of
Austria was third. Moments after Miller took the lead with a hard-charging pass
through the course, Ligety thrilled the capacity crowd in Beaver Creek,
Colorado, with a furious run of his own, leaning across the finish line. Its the
first time the Americans have placed two skiers on a GS podium since 2005, when
Miller and Daron Rahlves went 1-2. "To share the podium with Bode is awesome.
But Im a little surprised, actually," said Ligety, who also became the first to
capture four straight World Cup GS races since Italys Alberto Tomba accomplished
the feat in 1991. "It was impressive how he was able to bring his intensity up
and put down some impressive runs. Thats cool to be able to have another
American guy challenging me up there." While everyone else tries to emulate
Ligetys giant slalom style -- so smooth and effortless -- Miller is taking a
different road. Hes skiing the way he skis and just seeing what happens. Hes not
a follower, never has been, something Ligety appreciates. "If you try to copy
somebodys technique, youre going to be several steps behind them all the time,"
Ligety said. "Because nobody does it better than the original. You have to make
it your own thing." Miller definitely does at that. When Miller stepped into the
starting gate for his final run, his wife, Morgan, could barely watch the big
screen. As he manoeuvred through the course, she jumped up and down, along with
the capacity crowd. And when he finished, she threw her arms up in the air while
Bode Miller waved his ski pole, before stabbing it in the snow. "Hes back,"
Morgan Miller said. Yep, he sure is. To think, there were those who told him hed
never be a good technical skier again, that he should stick to the speed events.
This performance, Miller said, was for all those who doubted him as he recovered
from what couldve been a career ending knee surgery nearly 22 months ago. "A
little bit of redemption today, to show that Im coming back in GS," Miller said.
"I think I can do slalom, too. Im so skinny now, all aerodynamic and snappy, to
be able to ski four events the way I like to do it." To trim down 20 pounds,
Miller worked with trainer Gavin MacMillan, whose clients also include boxer
Manny Pacquiao. Miller and MacMillan are trying to get that knee back into shape
without weights, but with more of a plyometric approach using elastic bands. So
far, it appears to be working. Not that MacMillans surprised. "Youre talking
about one of the more elite athletes in the world," MacMillan said. "It was more
about finding that again than trying to create it. I knew once we got the power
back in his legs, it was only a matter of getting his timing back. "Once he got
his timing back, hes right back to where he was, because you cant take 20 years
of that away." Hirscher was a little in awe of being next to Miller on the
podium. After all, the reigning overall champion grew up with posters of Miller
on his wall. "This is really cool," Hirscher said. "But it would be cooler if
Bode was third and with me in second." This day started well for Miller as he
communicated via Skype with his young son from another relationship. Right after
the race, he was scheduled to fly to New York for a custody hearing Monday
involving his son -- the 9-month-old childs legal name is Samuel Bode after his
father, but Miller calls him Nathaniel. The mother, Sara McKenna, currently has
custody of the child in New York. "We know someday were going to get to a really
good place with this. Were really positive and excited," Morgan Miller said.
"Its a process. But were having a great time. Life is good."

930..Paris, France (SportsNetwork.com) - Eight-time champion Rafael Nadal and
last years runner-up David Ferrer were a pair of easy winners Saturday at the
French Open. The world No. 1 great Nadal improved to 3-0 lifetime against
Leonardo Mayer by handling the Argentine 6-2, 7-5, 6-2 on the Spaniards beloved
red clay at Court Chatrier. Nadal is now 62-1 lifetime at Roland Garros, where
hes won four straight and eight of the last nine titles. He beat Ferrer in last
years all-Spanish finale and has won his last 31 matches overall at this
Parisian major. The 27-year-old Nadal is trying to become the first man to win
five straight French Open titles. The reigning French and U.S. Open champions
fourth-round opponent will be talented Serb Dusan Lajovic. The fifth-seeded
Ferrer, meanwhile, got past 32nd-seeded Italian Andreas Seppi 6-2, 7-6 (7-2),
6-3 on Day 7. Ferrer posted his 35th win at Roland Garros, one shy of Alex
Corretja for the second-most by a Spaniard at this clay-court Grand Slam, and
continued his dominance of Seppi, beating the Italian for the seventh time in as
many meetings without dropping a set. Ferrer, like Nadal, did not lose a set in
Week 1 in Paris. Seppi fell to 6-64 all-time against top-10 players, including
only one win in his last 50 tries. Ferrer will next play Kevin Anderson. The
19th-seeded South African slugger earnned a spot in the round of 16 when
Croatias Ivo Karlovic retired with an apparent back injury after dropping the
first set 6-3.

Jersey. Anderson has matched his best showing at a Grand Slam. Last year,
he became the first South African man to reach the fourth round at the French
Open since Wayne Ferreira in 1996. Flashy Frenchman Gael Monfils, seeded 23rd,
posted an upset by tackling 14th- seeded Italian Fabio Fognini 5-7, 6-2, 6-4,
0-6, 6-2, while the aforementioned Lajovic moved into the round of 16 by
defeating American Jack Sock 6-4, 7-5, 6-3. The 83rd-ranked Lajovic is playing
in only his second major tournament. He lost in the second round to Japans Kei
Nishikori at the Australian Open in January. "Its my first Roland Garros main
draw appearance and first time in the fourth round, so I cant be more happy than
this," said Lajovic. "Maybe to play Rafa on Chatrier is one of the biggest
dreams and biggest challenges. So for sure its not going to be easy. "You need
to have a lot of tips and confidence to beat [Nadal], but I hope to enjoy the
match if he wins and to give my best." Also on Saturday, Spaniard Marcel
Granollers overcame Slovak Martin Klizan, 6-7 (5-7), 6-2, 7-6 (7-4), 7-5 and
Spains Guillermo Garcia-Lopez outlasted American left-hander Donald Young 6-2,
6-4, 2-6, 6-7 (4-7), 6-4.
