Djokovic overwhelmed unseeded Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland 6-4 6-0 yesterday to win his fifth title of the season at the Vienna Open, adding to his victories in Adelaide, Miami, Estoril and Montreal.The Serbian’s victory came after he was forced to fight off two match points in his quarter-final against Juan Ignacio Chela, and more than compensated for his loss to Wawrinka in the second round in 2006.In their two other previous meetings, Djokovic had retired in the Umag final with respiratory problems and he won a five-set Davis Cup battle after trailing by two sets to one.Kiplagat sets world best time UDINE – Lornah Kiplagat of the Netherlands set a world best time when she successfully defended her half-marathon title at the world road running championships yesterday.Kiplagat clocked one hour six minutes 25 seconds, beating the previous world best of 1:06:44 set by South African Elana Meyer eight years ago in Tokyo.”Everything just went perfect today,” Kiplagat told reporters.”With four km left I thought there was a possibility for the record.”The Kenyan-born Kiplagat, who set a world best for 20 km along the way, ran solo for the final five km and beat Kenya’s Mary Keitany by 23 seconds.Another Kenyan, Pamela Chepchumba, was third.India’s Randhawa retains Indian Open NEW DELHI – India’s Jyoti Randhawa produced a decisive eagle on the 16th hole to retain the Indian Open Asian Tour title by three shots yesterday, his third overall win.The 35-year-old overnight joint leader with Thailand’s Chapchai Nirat saw a three-shot lead shrink to one after Chang Tse-peng of Taiwan shot a fluent four-under 68 two groups ahead.However, the European Tour regular’s second shot on the 16th fairway bounced 10 feet away from the pin and rolled in, giving him the three-shot leeway to all but seal the issue.Randhawa carded three-under 69 for a score of 13-under 275, giving him his seventh Asian Tour title, and the first in 2007.Dementieva beats Williams MOSCOW – Russia’s Elena Dementieva gave herself an early birthday present when she crushed Serena Williams 5-7 6-1 6-1 to win her first Kremlin Cup title yesterday.Dementieva, who turns 26 on Monday, came out storming after losing the first set, breaking the fourth-seeded American three times in each of the next two sets to claim her first career win over the former world number one in emphatic fashion.Nampa-Reuters and AFPRamblers 1-1 African Stars Played Saturday, Oct 13 Civics 2-1 Oshakati City Orlando Pirates 3-0 Fedics United Eleven Arrows 4-0 Mighty Gunners * Note: Black Africa vs Blue
