Miller joins Dick Durrance and Tiger Shaw for the most titles at the U.S. championships.
· TENNIS: By the third game, Serena Williams was flailing her arms in frustration. Two games later, she threw her racket. Then she screamed at herself.
For Williams, the transformation came in the nick of time. She survived a dismal start and erased two championship points in the second set to win the Sony Ericsson Open in Key Biscayne, Fla., beating top-ranked Justine Henin, 0-6, 7-5, 6-3.
"It's just not in me to give up," Williams said during the trophy ceremony.
· SOCCER: A hat trick by Peter Crouch-- he scored with his left foot, right foot and on a header -- powered Liverpool to a 4-1 victory over Arsenal. "It's a special moment," Crouch said. "The win was the most important thing, but I'm so pleased with the hat trick."
Montreal Canadiens owner George Gillett and Texas Rangers owner Tom Hicks, who completed their takeover of Liverpool this week, watched from the stands.
Manchester United rallied to beat Blackburn, 4-1, with goals from Paul Scholes, Michael Carrick, Park Ji Sung and Ole Gunnar Solksjaer. The only bad news was that star defender Nemanja Vidic is out for five weeks with a broken collarbone.
Chelsea remained six points behind Manchester United after a 1-0 win over last-place Watford.
· RUNNING: Ethiopian Teferi Bacha won his first race in the U.S., edging two Kenyans in the Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10K in Richmond. Bacha finished in 28 minutes 29 seconds, the second-fastest time in the event's eight-year history.
· CRICKET: Glenn McGrath of Australia became the most successful bowler in World Cup history after he claimed two wickets to surpass the mark of former great Wasim Akram of Pakistan. Playing in his last international event, McGrath, 37, reached 56 wickets.
"When you're playing long enough you're going to get a record here or there but Wasim Akram to me is one of the best bowlers of all time," McGrath said after Australia beat Bangladesh by 10 wickets.
