doubles play Sunday at the U.

.S. Open. A victory by the unseeded Canadians would have ended the Americans bid
for a 2013 Grand Slam sweep. The brothers won earlier this year at the
Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon. "We werent thinking of that at all,"
said Nestor. "We were just trying to win: big match, centre court, TV, you want
to win those matches. "But to beat the Bryans you have to play your best, Until
a set and 4-3 we were playing as well as we could. But I didnt continue it with
my serving." Nestor, from Toronto, was broken over his last four service games
and also set up match point for the Bryans with his teams eighth double-fault.
Nestors serving troubles began midway through the second set and the Americans
took the momentum in a match that lasted just over two hours. "I didnt serve
well from 4-3," said Nestor. "It was unfortunate, it would have been nice to go
into a tiebreaker in the second set. "I could have mixed up my serve a bit more,
I was getting repetitive with the first serve, which was not going in. My serve
was definitely the difference today." With Nestors game off the mark and
Pospisil, from Vernon, B.C., short of big-match experience, the Bryans were able
to claw back in front of a supportive crowd. The Canadians managed to break on
only one of seven chances despite producing well over 50 winners with their
attacking style. The brothers pulled even at a set apiece after another break of
Nestor, who remains alive in the mixed event with partner Kristina Mladenovic of
France. Nestor and Mladenovic won at the French Open in June. Nestor has faced
the Bryan brothers 53 times over his career with seven different partners. "It
was one of those matches where we were the better team until the end of the
second set," Pospisil said. "We got a bit unlucky on the outcome of a few
challenges and the match turned. It was a few important points in crucial
moments."

Calif. -- Seattles Eddie Johnson and Los Angeles Juninho traded first-half goals
and the Sounders and Galaxy settled for a 1-1 draw Saturday night. Johnson
headed home a corner kick to give Seattle a 25th-minute lead, and Juninho scored
on a 24-yard free kick in first-half stoppage time. Seattle (15-8-5), which saw
its five-game winning streak halted, increased its lead in the Western
Conference and Supporters Shield standings to two points. Los Angeles (13-10-6)
jumped back into fourth place in the West, five points behind the Sounders. Both
teams were without their U.S. national team stars. Galaxy forward Landon Donovan
sprained his ankle sustained last weekend and Sounders forward Clint Dempsey
strained a calf in training this week. The Galaxy were dominant after halftime,
scoring a potential tiebreaking goal that was waved off and created little else
that was concrete. "We just werent good enough in the final third of the field,
with the final pass or our look at the goal, and it made a difference in the
game," Los Angeles coach Bruce Arena said. "We obviously got the one goal called
back. If that was a foul, then maybe Eddie doesnt get his goal in the first
half. I thought (the officiating) was inconsistent, and in a tight game like
that,, those kinds of plays and calls are what decides the outcome.

" Johnson scored on an open header from about 8 yards, losing Galaxy defender
Omar Gonzalez as he started his run at the top of the box to get to Mauro
Rosales serve. Johnson nearly scored another in the 39th, but Los Angeles
goalkeeper Jaime Penedo leaped to grab his open shot in the box. Juninho tallied
with the final touch of the first half, bending a free kick from just above the
semicircle inside the left post. Rookie Gyasi Zardes forced a leaping save from
Seattle goalkeeper Michael Gspurning with a blast toward the upper-right corner
in the 19th minute, and he appeared to put the Galaxy ahead following a free
kick 15 minutes into the second half, after Gonzalez headed Juninhos cross into
the goalmouth. Referee Silviu Petrescu whistled the Galaxy for a foul,
apparently on defender Todd Dunivant, while the ball was in the air. "I think
they had a little more possession than we had, for sure," Seattle coach Sigi
Schmid said. "But I think that we had some very dangerous chances. ... I think
we had opportunities to get our second goal, but thats the way it is. Its an
end-to-end game, an exciting game for the fans, but it wasnt always the best
soccer."
