WASHINGTON -- Sam Querrey advanced despite not having his giant-slaying best. Sloane Stephens didnt have any of her best and is going home.The eighth-seeded Querrey beat Bjorn Fratangelo 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-4 at the Citi Open on Tuesday, while the second-seeded Stephens was upset by Japans Risa Ozaki 6-2, 6-1. Querrey was feeling confident coming off a trip to the Wimbledon quarterfinals that featured a victory against world No. 1 Novak Djokovic.Center court under the lights at the Rock Creek Park Tennis Center was a little different, but Querrey battled back from losing a first-set tiebreak to beat Fratangelo and avenge a defeat at the French Open.Even without the Novak win and just coming out it wouldve been tough, Querrey said. It was one of those matches I just had to fight my way through, and I think regardless of what happened at Wimbledon, it wouldve been tough and I did a good job of getting through it.Querrey will next face 11th-seeded Alexandr Dolgopolov of Ukraine.Stephens tournament is done a year after she won the Citi Open. The 23-year-old American said it was just one of those matches for her and took all the blame for her defeat.I just played real bad. Nothing more, nothing less, Stephens said. Just one of those days I was really bad. Obviously Im not the first person to have a bad day and I wont be the last.Earlier in the day, fifth-seeded Eugenie Bouchard was upset by Italys Camila Giorgi, 7-5, 6-4, marking the fourth time in the Canadians past 10 tournaments that she lost her opening match. She most recently reached the round of 32 at Wimbledon before losing to Dominika Cibulkova.Bouchard said she felt kind of out of it from the beginning Tuesday, when temperatures were in the 90s, but she put no blame on the heat and instead credited Giorgi for keeping her off balance.She kind of plays not like any other player, really: absolutely no rhythm, not long points at all, Bouchard said. I found it hard to get my feeling and get into points and stuff.Bouchard repeated that she was unsure about playing in the Rio Olympics, citing the Zika virus. The Montreal native called herself a last-minute person and said she would wake up and decide next week.Bouchard has seen fellow Canadian Milos Raonic and other high-profile tennis players and golfers pull out and conceded that has made her think.Im truly undecided, and you see more and more people pulling out as kind of the deadline gets closer, Bouchard said. Its just unfortunate because it would be my first games, and to have a problem like this kind of dampening the excitement of potentially your first Olympic Games, it really sucks, to be honest.In other womens play, American Christina McHale upset eighth-seeded Monica Niculescu of Romania 6-3, 6-4. The New Jersey native will next face Jessica Pegula, daughter of Buffalo Bills and Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula.McHale continued a strong year that has included pushing world No. 1 Serena Williams to three sets twice.Im putting myself more in matches to have opportunities to win, McHale said. I want to stop meeting (Williams) so early in tournaments. Its nice to see against the No. 1 player in the world that I can hold my own and have chances.On the mens side, 12th-seeded Grigor Dimitrov lost 6-4, 6-4 to Great Britains Daniel Evans.

CLEVELAND --?Indians?ace pitcher Corey Kluber will take the mound in Game 7 on Wednesday with a chance to become the first pitcher to win three starts in one World Series since Detroits Mickey Lolich in 1968.The game has changed, the 76-year-old Lolich said Tuesday. Its a totally different game than what we played back in our days. It just doesnt happen.Cleveland is hoping for its first title since 1948.Meanwhile, Kyle Hendricks -- who led the majors in earned run average this season -- can pitch the Chicago Cubs to their first championship since 1908. Climbing back from a 3-1 World Series deficit, Chicago won 9-3 on Tuesday to force a deciding Game 7.Kluber is 4-1 with a miserly 0.89 ERA in five starts during this postseason, starting with 16 consecutive scoreless innings against Boston in the American League Division Series and Toronto in the AL Championship Series.He started on only three days rest for the first time in his big league career in Game 4 against the Blue Jays; he left after five innings with the Indians trailing 2-1 in a 5-1 defeat.Kluber then threw 88 pitches over six innings to beat the Cubs 6-0 on Oct. 25 in the World Series opener.He came back on three days rest in Game 4, throwing 81 pitches over six innings and giving up only one run, as the Indians took a 3-1 World Series lead.Hes a special guy, Hendricks said of his Game 7 opponent. You can just see it, the way he takes to the mound. Hes always locked in.Nine pitchers have won three starts in a single World Series, but none since Lolich went 3-0 with a 1.67 ERA and 21 strikeouts while tossing three complete games against St. Louis.Good players, good pitchers, can do special things. Hes in that category, Indians manager Terry Francona said of Kluber. It was kind of an easy decision after talking to him.The 2014 Cy Young Award winner as the ALs top pitcher, Kluber was 18-9 with a 3.14 ERA this season, as Cleveland won the AL Central for the first time since 2007. His win in the All-Star Game in July gavee the American League home-field advantage in this World Series.ddddddddddddI never connected those dots at that point in time, Kluber said.After Lolich had a pair of complete-game victories for Detroit in the 1968 World Series, he remembered manager Mayo Smith turning to him during the Tigers 10-run third inning in Game 6.Can you start Game 7? I only want you to pitch five innings, Lolich recalled Smith asking.Sure, that wouldnt bother me at all, the pitcher remembered responding.The only others to win three World Series starts were Charles Deacon Phillippe of Pittsburgh and Bill Dinneen of the Boston Americans in 1903; the New York Giants Christy Mathewson (1905); the Philadelphia Athletics Jack Coombs (1910); Pittsburghs Babe Adams (1909); Clevelands Stan Coveleski (1920); Milwaukees Lew Burdette (1957); and Cincinnatis Bob Gibson (1967).Arizonas Randy Johnson beat the New York Yankees in a pair of World Series starts in 2011, then won Game 7 with 1? innings of relief, a day after throwing 104 pitches over seven innings to win Game 6. Bostons Smoky Joe Wood (1912), Urban Faber of the Chicago White Sox?(1917) and the Cardinals Harry Brecheen (1946) each also won a pair of starts and once in relief in a World Series.Giants ace Madison Bumgarner won two starts in the 2014 World Series, before throwing five scoreless innings in relief in Game 7 for a save at Kansas City.During this World Series, Hendricks didnt get a decision in his Game 3 start, when he went 4? scoreless innings in a 1-0 loss.But hes looking forward to Game 7 on Wednesday at Clevelands Progressive Field.This is the ultimate dream, Hendricks said. When youre out in your backyard as a kid, playing Little League at the field with your friends, this is the moment you dream about: Game 7, 3-2, two outs, something like that, bottom of the ninth. But its always Game 7 of the World Series. ' ' '
