Williams play for charity

Lexington (Kentucky): Serena Williams and Anna Kournikova defeated Venus Williams and Brenda Schultz-McCarthy 6-3 in the Lexus tennis challenge at Rupp Arena. Venus had beaten Kournikova 6-3, 6-2 in a singles match during the exhibition on Sunday, which raised money for several charities. Kournikova dropped four straight games to lose the first set before taking a brief lead in the second.

In the second set, Kournikova handed over her racket to a fan, giving him a chance to return Venus? powerful serve. The fan swung and missed.

The event benefited several charities, including the Owl Foundation, a charity founded by Serena and Venus? mother, Oracene Price.

US better than Rest

Kiawah Island (South Carolina): Britain?s Colin Montgomerie lost to an American for the first time in match play singles as the US beat the Rest of the World 14-10 to retain the UBS Cup on Sunday. The seven-time European No. 1 went down 5 and 3 to 1992 US Masters champion Fred Couples. Led by Arnold Palmer, the Americans won 7-1/2 points out of a possible 12 in the last-day singles at Cassique Golf Club after leading overnight by 6-1/2 to 5-1/2. The Rest of the World team has never won the Ryder Cup-style event for golfers aged over 40 since it was first held in 2001.

Larsson surgery

Stockholm: Barcelona striker Henrik Larsson could miss the remainder of the season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, the Spanish club said on Monday. The extent of the injury was revealed by keyhole surgery performed by club doctors on the Swedish striker?s knee on Monday to repair cartilage damage sustained during Sunday?s Primera Liga victory over Real Madrid. Barcelona?s official website said Larsson had asked for any surgery on the torn ligament to be postponed, making it difficult to estimate how long the 33-year-old player would be out of action.
