Hingis adds another Wimbledon trophy

LONDON — Martina Hingis keeps adding to her collection of Wimbledon trophies.

The 34-year-old Swiss paired with Leander Paes of India on Sunday to win the mixed doubles title, beating Alexander Peya and Timea Babos 6-1, 6-1 under the roof on Centre Court. The win, which took just 40 minutes, gave Hingis her 11th Grand Slam doubles title.

It was the second in two day days for Hingis, who combined with Sania Mirza to win the women’s doubles on Saturday, beating Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina 5-7, 7-6 (4), 7-5.

Hingis became the first player to win both the women’s and mixed doubles titles at the All England Club since Cara Black in 2004. These are the first titles at Wimbledon for Hingis since she won the women’s doubles in 1998. She also won the singles championship in 1997 and the women’s doubles in 1996.

Chun shocks field at U.S. Women’s Open

LANCASTER — In Gee Chun’s modest goal for her first U.S. Women’s Open was to enjoy every new experience.

Boy, did she enjoy herself. The 20-year-old South Korean stormed from behind, posting birdies on four of the last seven holes to rally for an unlikely one-stroke victory.

Chun shot a 4-under 66 in the final round and finished at 8 under, becoming the first player to win her U.S. Open debut since Birdie Kim in 2005. The win was Chun’s fifth of the year after three in Korea and one in Japan.

Third-round leader Amy Yang struggled in the middle of her round and then pulled within one by going eagle-birdie at Nos. 16 and 17. But she bogeyed the 18th and fell a stroke short.

Bourdais claims 2nd IndyCar win

MILWAUKEE — Sebastien Bourdais pulled away following a late caution to win at the Milwaukee Mile, his second IndyCar victory of the season.

Bourdais was dominating before the caution flag came out on Lap 222 after Justin Wilson’s car stalled. He held on when racing resumed for an 18-lap sprint to the finish, turning aside a brief challenge from second-place Helio Castroneves to win by 2.2 seconds.

It was Bourdais’ 34th career victory, and first at an oval since winning at Milwaukee in 2006.

Castroneves had a remarkable run after starting last in the 24-car field. Graham Rahal was third.
