| Jankovic advances at French Open |
Jelena Jankovic got a little love from the net to help her beat Monica Niculescu 7-6 (3), 6-2 Monday and advance to the second round of the French Open. Leading 4-2 in the first-set tiebreaker, last year's French Open semifinalist had a drop volley hit the top of the net and roll along the tape before falling into the opposite court. The third-seeded Jankovic put her hand up as if to say, 'Sorry.' The Serb then bent down and kissed the white tape. In the second set, Jankovic lost her serve after breaking her Romanian opponent in the opening game, but then dominated rest of the match. |

| All the Right Moves |
INDIANAPOLIS, May 25 -- Over the final laps of Sunday's crash-filled Indianapolis 500, Scott Dixon showed exactly why he's known as the 'The Iceman.' Dixon remained cool under the most extreme pressure, deftly navigating lapped traffic and holding off a hard-charging Vitor Meira for his breakthrough victory at the Brickyard in the race's 92nd running, the first since open-wheel racing's reunification in February. Meira, driving for under-funded Panther Racing, finished a surprising second, 1.7 seconds behind Dixon, and a fraction of a second in front of third-place finisher Marco Andretti in a disjointed race slowed by eight cautions for a total of 69 laps. |
