WIMBLEDON -- Marcus Willis, a club pro ranked No. 772 in the world, was the early underdog darling of this tournament before going out to Roger Federer in the second round.Well, let us introduce you to Julia Boserup, a 24-year-old Californian who has done Willis at least one better. On a day when American singles players dominated at the All England Club, Boserup was the longest of shots to arrive in the third round.Boserup stunned No. 7 seed Belinda Bencic, who retired trailing Boserup 6-4, 1-0, citing a left wrist injury.After entering Wimbledon with zero career Grand Slam victories, the No. 225-ranked Boserup now has two.Its been really special to be here in Wimbledon, she told four reporters in a small interview room afterward. During my matches, I stop and look around, thinking How cool is this?My mother flew in after I qualified. And shes taking pictures of all the flowers.Coming into Wimbledon, playing mostly ITF Future tournaments, Boserup had earned a total of $28,440. Now, shes guaranteed at least $106,400 -- almost exactly half her career earnings. After failing to qualify in six WTA-level events, including the Australia Open and the French Open, Boserup broke through here.She won three qualifying matches -- all in straight sets, over Jennifer Brady, Jessica Pegula and Barbara Haas -- to advance to her first main draw at a Grand Slam. In the first round, she needed three sets to eliminate fellow qualifier Tatjana Maria of Germany.Next up is the winner of the No. 32 Andrea Petkovic-Elena Vesnina match.Boserups quick tennis biography: She was born in California to two Danish parents and began working with famed coach Robert Lansdorp at the age of 6. She moved to Boca Raton, Florida, at 13 to work with the USTA and won the prestigious Orange Bowl as a 17-year-old wild card. She beat then-16-year-old Christina McHale, a WTA top-100 regular, in the final.She turned pro in September 2010. And then a series of injuries -- including stress fractures in both feet -- set her back a few years. And now, her Wikipedia page will have to be updated.She insisted that shell go back to playing $50,000 events after Wimbledon.On week doesnt change everything, she said. Its all about developing my tennis.Its a good thing she has Friday off, because shes got homework due.Shes going to practice for only an hour or so and then maybe spend 30 minutes in the gym. Thats because she is closing in on her online degree at Penn State, with a major in psychology and a minor in finance.Its an accounting class, she explained. Spreadsheets are due on Sunday. If anyones good at accounting, let me know.And she smiled the smile of someone who has already won the lottery and is playing with house money. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Jersey .

Cuban testified Thursday that he was upset when the companys CEO told him news that would reduce the value of his shares, for which hed paid $7.5 million. But he said he did nothing improper when he sold those shares over the next two days.TSNs Jack Armstrong offers his thoughts on Danny Green, the defence of the Miami Heat, the future of the Boston Celtics, the addition of Patrick Ewing in Charlotte and the broadcast abilities of Jeff Van Gundy and Hubie Brown. 1. Danny Green (Spurs): 25 3s in the first five games. NBA record already. If you had to pick an MVP for the Spurs so far, hed be your guy. I love how crafty he is moving without the ball, getting himself in the proper spots for good looks and he uses screens beautifully. Miamis defence of him has at times been downright atrocious. Good for him, hes been brilliant. 2. Miami Defence: Sunday night, I saw a team not committed to playing the game hard and right with discipline on the defensive end. Poor communication and effort. I understand theyre a team that thrives on creating turnovers but guys are just lunging into passing lanes with little regard for the risk/reward factor. Spurs are a solid/well-coached team that will shred you if you dont cover with intelligence. Ball pressure, help, recovery, rotations, shot challenges were all sub-par. Weve seen them play at a high level before and Im sure well see it again in Game 6 but defensive effort after 100 games is supposed to be there all the time and be a habit. Maddening team to watch at times. 3. Doc Rivers/Danny Ainge: My advice, turn Doc into a tradeable asset and try to get what you can for him and Kevinn Garnett.dddddddddddd Youre in a rebuild mode now. Buy out Paul Pierce and look to acquire picks and young players. The fact that you can start fresh and re-tool your team based upon the assets you have is a good situation to be in. Rajon Rondo is a wonderful talent but something tells me hell be a royal pain in the you-know-what in a rebuilding situation and without the leadership of Doc, KG & Pierce. Might look to turn him into a favorable deal as well. 4. Patrick Ewing (Bobcats): Hired as an associate head coach by Steve Clifford. They worked together in Houston and Orlando and hell be a good fit. Love the big fella. Hoping in a few years hell get his chance somewhere in the NBA as a head coach. Many stars want it handed to them with their lifetime scholarship mentality. Not Ewing, hes been willing to pay his dues and I admire that. Hell get his chance. Good that hes back on the bench again after a year away. 5. Jeff Van Gundy and Hubie Brown: Have known both of these guys for years and respect them immensely. Its been a pleasure listening to Jeff on TV and Hubie on the radio during the Finals. Both outstanding basketball men who give you the substance; the whys, whats and hows in a well thought-out fashion. Van Gundy is quite entertaining, as well, which I enjoy. They are major ambassadors for our sport and are delivering the goods on the big stage. ' ' '
