WIMBLEDON -- Serena Williams coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, said Saturday the show of anger in her second-round match was a good sign for the world No. 1.I cannot say it is positive to break a racket, but what is positive is that she expresses that anger, that kind of refusal to lose, Mouratoglou said.After eight squandered break-point chances in a sloppy opening set against American Christina McHale?on Friday, Williams repeatedly smashed her racket to the turf on the changeover chair, then flung it behind her, where it eventually landed in the lap of a TV cameraman. Mouratoglou said it immediately ignited a spark in Williams, who was fined $10,000 for the incident.When she touches that emotion in herself, then shes able to lift her level, and thats what she did in the second set, he said. So thats why Im expecting that to happen when she needs it. When she doesnt need it, she doesnt need it. But when she needs it, she has to find it within herself.Williams, who ended up signing the racket and giving it to a courtside fan, entered Wimbledon having fallen short of the title in her past three Grand Slam tournaments. At the French Open, she lost the title match to Garbine Muguruza.I dont know what she was trying to do at the French, but clearly she didnt express her champions mind or attitude, Mouratoglou said. At the French, she was too calm. What we used to see in Serena when shes in trouble is that rage that makes her lift that level, and she couldnt find that at the French. She couldnt find it either actually at Miami or Indian Wells.I dont want to use the word disappear, because [her intensity] is there. Its just that when she doesnt reach out to that feeling or emotion, its something that is important for her, Mouratoglou added. Tennis-wise, shes playing OK. I dont see her playing as good as last year, for example. But this part is missing, and this part is why Serena is Serena. Zack Littell Jersey .

No problem for Georgia Tech.With Justin Thomas on the sideline with an injury, backup quarterback Matthew Jordan rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Yellow Jackets to a 30-20 upset of No. 14 Virginia Tech on Saturday.Thomas dressed for the game, but didnt play after an undisclosed injury last week at North Carolina. The Yellow Jackets (6-4, 3-4 ACC) didnt miss a beat, and Jordan, who made his first career start, repeatedly gashed the Hokies defense. He carried the ball 32 times and scored on runs of 53 and 3 yards.I really didnt know until warm-ups to be honest, Jordan said. I think I was a little bit nervous when we first started off. Once the game went along, I think I settled down.Marcus Marshall added 143 yards rushing and a score for the Yellow Jackets, who rushed for 309 yards. They also became bowl eligible.I told our kids after that game that 6-6 is not what were after, Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson said. Once we were out of the conference race, I challenged our team to try and win nine games. If you go back and look at the last 50 years here, it hasnt been done a lot.Georgia Techs win was just the third road win over a ranked team in Johnsons tenure as coach. He took over in 2008.Virginia Tech (7-3, 5-2, No. 18 AP), which was looking to clinch the ACCs Coastal Division crown, played its worst game of the season. The Hokies turned the ball over four times, botched a short field-goal attempt, and had a terrible snap rigght before halftime that ultimately led to Jordans 3-yard touchdown run.dddddddddddd That score gave them a 20-0 halftime lead.The Hokies Jerod Evans threw a touchdown pass and ran for two scores -- the latter two coming with the game already decided.In the end, we didnt play well enough, Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente said. We didnt deserve to win the ball game. Credit to them.THE TAKEAWAYGeorgia Tech: The Yellow Jackets defense gave up 636 yards of offense in a 48-20 loss at North Carolina a week ago, but the group held Virginia Tech to 437 yards and sacked Evans five times.I think our defensive players were probably tired of hearing how bad they were, Johnson said.Virginia Tech: The Hokies -- who hadnt turned the ball over in their previous three games -- need to find their groove on offense. They only mustered a field goal in the second half against Duke a week ago, didnt score in the first half against Georgia Tech, and had 182 of their yards on their final two drives when trailing 30-7.POLL IMPLICATIONSVoters could drop Virginia Tech down or out of the AP Top 25 when the new list comes out Sunday.UP NEXTGeorgia Tech: Returns home for the final home game of the season and takes on Virginia, the last-place team in the ACCs Coastal Division.Virginia Tech: Travels to South Bend, Indiana, to take on Notre Dame in the first meeting between the two programs.
