SHANGHAI - It took a perfect match by Roger Federer for Novak Djokovics 28-match winning streak in China to come to an end.In their first match since Djokovic edged Federer to capture his seventh Grand Slam title at Wimbledon, the Swiss star exacted a measure of revenge with a commanding victory in the semifinals of the Shanghai Masters on Saturday.Federer broke Djokovic twice to defeat the Serb 6-4, 6-4 and halt his impressive streak dating back to 2010. During that stretch, Djokovic captured the China Open in Beijing three times and the Shanghai Masters twice.He played a perfect match, Djokovic said. Tonight is definitely one of the best matches he has played against me, thats for sure.Federer also ended Djokovics 43-match overall win streak to start the 2011 season when he beat him in the French Open semifinals that year.I look forward to the big occasions, Federer said. Doesnt matter where it is in the world because theres always a lot on the line, its a good story. It was the same again tonight.Federer nearly didnt even make it past his opening match this week. The 17-time major winner was almost out of the tournament when he was forced to save five match points before beating Leonardo Mayer in a three-setter that ended well after midnight.Now hes into the final with a chance to win his first title in Shanghai — and fourth of the year — against Frenchman Gilles Simon on Sunday.I was thinking about it midway through the match when I was up a set and a break going, Hmm, should I be here or elsewhere? Federer said. Clearly I feel very fortunate being in the tournament. But thats sometimes how things go.In their last match in the Wimbledon final this summer, Djokovic and Federer battled for five grueling, momentum-shifting sets before the Serb finally finished it off in four hours to capture his seventh Grand Slam title.Their 36th career meeting in Shanghai wasnt nearly as close.Federer relentlessly charged the net and volleyed with precision, winning 20 of his 35 forays. He also served strongly, hitting four aces in a row to win one game in the first set and fighting off the only break point he faced.Djokovic had been the one dominating opponents in China the past two weeks. He didnt drop a set last week en route to capturing his fifth China Open title in Beijing, overwhelming Tomas Berdych so completely in the final, it was a struggle for the Czech player to win a single game.Against Federer, though, Djokovic was far more error-prone than usual. At 2-all in the first set, he misfired on his forehand several times to allow Federer to break and then played another sloppy game to open the second set and drop serve again right away.Federer next plays Simon, a player who hasnt beaten him since 2008. That match, however, was also played in Shanghai, at the season-ending Tennis Masters Cup.Simon rediscovered some of his old form to defeat Feliciano Lopez 6-2, 7-6 (1) to reach his first Masters-level final in more than six years.The Frenchman won all but two points on his first serve and never facing a break point. He also handled Lopezs aggressive serve-and-volley game with ease, firing numerous passing shots down the line for winners and breaking the Spaniard twice.I was feeling really good from the baseline. I felt I almost didnt lose one point from the baseline the whole match, Simon said.Simon had been a mainstay in the top 20, but middling results this year — including seven opening-round losses — saw his ranking dip to No. 44 in June.In recent weeks, however, the Frenchman has been reborn. Having lost 11 of his past 12 matches against top-10 players before the U.S. Open, hes suddenly beaten three — No. 5 David Ferrer in New York, and No. 4 Stan Wawrinka and No. 7 Tomas Berdych here in Shanghai.Hes now projected to return to the top 20 next week — win or lose against Federer in the final.When Im playing good, I can play at (the top players) level, Simon said. This Im not worried. The question is whether I will be able to do it tomorrow.

Yeezy 700 Kopen Nederland . -- The Sacramento Kings have signed first-round pick Nik Stauskas to his rookie contract.MIAMI -- Giancarlo Stanton led the Miami Marlins to a victory with his bat and his glove. Stanton hit two home runs and made a spectacular diving catch in right field to help the Marlins beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-5 on Monday night. "He was definitely trying to take that game over not only with his bat, but with his glove," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. Stantons 13th multihomer game established a franchise career record and he tied Hanley Ramirez for second place on the clubs home run list with 148. Stanton hit a two-run homer in the first and a solo shot in the third to give him 31 on the season and five in his last five games. "Just feeling better and having better at-bats and pitch selection is a little better," Stanton said of his recent surge. Marlins starter Tom Koehler (8-9) allowed three runs and eight hits in five innings. Steve Cishek escaped the ninth to record his 30th save in 33 chances. With two outs, Cishek allowed an RBI triple by Kolten Wong and an RBI single by Matt Holliday, allowing the Cardinals to pull within 6-5. Cishek struck out Matt Adams to end the game. Jon Jay hit a two-run homer, Holliday had four hits, and Shelby Miller (8-9) allowed five runs in five innings for the Cardinals, who have lost three of four. "We had plenty of hits, they just had bigger ones," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. Stantons diving catch to his left on the warning track took a hit away from Wong in the fifth inning. "I was more trying to protect myself and slide on grass as opposed to dirt and make sure I secure it at the same time," Stanton said. The catch prompted the home crowd into giving him a standing ovation, with two homers already to his credit. "That was really cool that they appreciate things like that," Stanton said. Koehler and the Marlins also benefited from key defennsive plays by Jordany Valdespin, Christian Yelich, and Adeiny Hechavarria.dddddddddddd "I dont think Ive had that many top-notch plays in a course of a season, that was unbelievable," Koehler said. "If you watch SportsCenter tonight, theres no reason why we shouldnt have all 10 (top plays)." The Cardinals were 2 for 11 with runners in scoring position. The Marlins led 3-0 after Stantons homers, but the Cardinals tied it with three runs in the fourth. "I made some pitches, but when it came down to the best hitter on their team I threw two of the worst pitches Ive probably thrown all night," Miller said. Hechavarria and Yelich drove in runs in the bottom of the inning to put the Marlins up 5-3. TRAINERS ROOM Marlins hard-throwing right-hander Carter Capps, who has been out since May 25 with a right elbow sprain, could make his return to the team as early as September. "Hes feeling good and from what Ive heard, everything is going great, hes feeling great," Redmond said. UP NEXT Cardinals right-hander Adam Wainwright (14-6, 2.28) will take the mound Tuesday against Marlins right-hander Jarred Cosart (0-1, 6.75). Wainwright will be making his first start against the Marlins in four years and Cosart will be making his return to the mound after being scratched from his last start with a sore left oblique.
