NEW YORK -- Lleyton Hewitt and James Blake will receive wild cards into the U.S. Open. The U.S. Tennis Association announced its eight mens wild cards Tuesday. Hewitt is a two-time major champion, winning the 2001 U.S. Open, but at age 31 the Australian has fallen to 134th in the world. Blake has twice reached the quarterfinals at Flushing Meadows, but the 32-year-old Americans ranking was also too low to automatically qualify for the years last Grand Slam, which starts Aug. 27. Other Americans receiving wild cards were NCAA singles champion Steve Johnson; USTA boys 18s singles champion Dennis Novikov; 2010 U.S. Open boys singles finalists Jack Sock and Denis Kudla; and Rajeev Ram, currently ranked No. 100. Frances Guillaume Rufin also got a wild card. Hewitt and Rufin were invited through reciprocal arrangements with the Australian and French Opens. Authen...

SALT LAKE CITY -- Al Jefferson was still feeling a bit queasy from a stomach ailment. He just didnt let it show on the court Saturday night. A day after shooting 1 of 9, Jefferson looked like a new man, scoring a season-high 27 points and adding 14 rebounds in the Utah Jazzs 94-81 victory over the Phoenix Suns. Paul Millsap added 18 points and 13 rebounds for Utah, which built a 22-point lead, then went to its veterans after the Suns pulled within five late. "We knew we had to close it out at the end," said Jefferson, who along with Millsap had six points, four rebounds and a steal in the fourth. "Were two of the three leaders on this team and one of our leaders (Mo Williams) was out. We just had to step up, and finish the game off. It was a big game before we hit the road, and the way we played last night, we had to have a special night." The Jazz lost by 20 to Denver on Friday night. Phoenix, meanwhile, overcame a 26-point deficit to beat Cleveland. The Suns looked as if they might pull off another huge comeback when Michael Beasleys follow dunk after a Jazz turnover cut Utahs lead to 79-74 with about five minutes remaining. But Millsap ended a scoreless streak of nearly 6 minutes with a 19-footer to start a 7-0 run, capped by Marvin Williams 3 pointer. The Suns pulled within seven again, only to have Jefferson hit a 10-foot turnaround jump shot, then block Luis Scola at the other end. Scola led the Suns with 21 points and Jared Dudley scored 16. Goran Dragic added 13 points and six assists. "When youre down 22, it is very difficult," said Scola, who scored eight of his 21 points in the fourth. "We have had a bad quarter in pretty much every game we play. Sometimes we come back, sometimes we dont. It is very difficult. We need to fix it." The Suns trailed 29-19 after one and by 16 in the second quarter, then were outscored 27-18 in the third when they shot just 27.3 per cent. Again Millsap and Jefferson did much of the damage. Millsap scored on a driving layup, then sank a free throw on the next possession to give Utah a 20-point lead with 3:44 left in the third quarter. Derrick Favours dunk made it 77-55, and the Jazz took a 77-61 lead into the fourth. The Jazz won despite missing starting point guard Mo Williams because of a strained adductor. Jamaal Tinsley went scoreless starting in his place but handed out 14 assists for the Jazz, who are 3-0 at home. "I thought he was great," Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said of Tinsley, who had 10 assists in the first half. "I thought he got a little tired at the end and made some errant plays but for the most part he got us into the stuff we needed to get into. I just respect his professionalism." Suns coachh Alvin Gentry was more worried about Utahs bigs before the game, and with good reason.dddddddddddd Utah held a 52-37 edge in rebounds, 52-36 advantage on points in the paint and held the Suns to 36.8 per cent shooting. While Utah made eight of its first 13 shots, the Suns started 3 of 10. "I dont think we were flat," Gentry said. "You have to get the ball in the basket ... Our defence was pretty good. During one stretch (we made) eight out of 10 stops and we didnt make up any ground because we didnt get the ball in the basket on the other end." The Suns were down 22 points with 2:45 remaining in the third, but opened the fourth on a 9-2 run to pull within 79-70 on Sebastian Telfairs driving layup with 9:24 left. Dudley then stole the ball from Tinsley and dunked at the other end with 6:18 left to pull Phoenix within 79-72, and Beasleys follow made it a five-point game. But Utahs size was too much to overcome. Jefferson and Millsap shot a combined 6 of 9 in the fourth quarter. Gordon Hayward added 18 points for the Jazz but was just 6 of 17 shooting and committed four turnovers. Jefferson was determined to put Friday nights disappointing effort behind him. The Jazz got off to a fast start behind Jefferson, who opened 4 of 5. Jefferson had more points in the first four minutes Saturday (six) than he did in the loss to Denver on Friday (four). He finished 12 of 20, with a pair of blocks and assists. He also got help from Utahs other bigs. Favours score after a behind-the-back dribble in the lane bumped Utahs lead to 22-11 with 4:20 left, and Enes Kanters jam off an alley-oop pass from Tinsley gave Utah a 14-point lead. Favours hit back-to-back shots to open the second quarter and Kanters impressive move on Markieff Morris in the paint bumped Utahs lead to 35-19. But after shooting 52 per cent in the first, the Jazz went cold, hitting just 1 of 6 from 3-point range in the second and shooting 38 per cent overall. Favours aggressive shot-blocking also got him in foul trouble, as he picked up his third with 8:12 left before half after opening 3 of 4 with three blocks. As they did Friday, the Suns chipped away. "We were down 26 last night and ended up winning, but how many times can you do that?" Scola said. "We need to be more solid and play 48 minutes. If we play 48 minutes, well be OK." Notes: Marcin Gortat was 0 of 6 for the Suns and finished with one point . ... Shannon Brown started 0 of 6 and finished 1 of 9 for 4 points after averaging 21.3 points and shooting 54 per cent the previous three games. ... The last time Tinsley had 10 assists in a half was Nov. 21, 2007, when he was with Indiana. ... Scola recorded his first double-double of the season as he added 11 rebounds. ' ' '
