Serena Williams had a record-setting win on route to the US Open quarterfinals, but sister Venus Williams?fell to Karolina Pliskova in a third-set tiebreak.Top-seeded Serena took out Yaroslava Shvedova 6-2, 6-3 in one hour and eight minutes. She will now face 2014 French Open runner-up Simona Halep, who eliminated No. 11 Carla Suarez Navarro 6-2, 7-5.Serenas victory gives her 308 match wins in Grand Slam match victories in tennis Open era, one more than Roger Federer for the all-time lead.Federer cant increase his total until next season, because he is sitting out the US Open and the rest of 2016 due to problems with his surgically repaired left knee.Its a huge number. I think its very significant actually. I think its something that, you know, just really talks about the length of my career, in particular, Williams said. Ive been playing for a really long time, but also, you know, given that consistency up there. Thats something that Im really proud of. ?Williams is 308-42 at major tournaments, an .880 winning percentage, and is now three more wins from her 23rd Grand Slam singles title, which would break a tie with Steffi Graf for the most in the Open era, which started in 1968.Serena was asked whether she or Federer would wind up retiring with more.I dont know. Well see, she said. Hopefully well both keep going. I know I plan on it. I know he does. So well see.Early in the day, Venus had gone from down and out to a point from victory, then back down again. In the end, she couldnt quite get past a woman a dozen years younger.She failed to convert a match point and lost 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (3) to 10th-seeded Pliskova of the Czech Republic in the fourth round, despite vociferous support from the Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd down the stretch.I really played the perfect point there, Venus said about her chance to end things while up 5-4 and Pliskova serving at 30-40, and she managed to stay alive.At 36, Venus?would have been the oldest woman to reach the quarterfinals at any major since Martina Navratilova was 37 at Wimbledon in 1994. She made it that far at Flushing Meadows a year ago, before losing to her younger sister.Pliskova managed, just barely, to make it to her first Grand Slam quarterfinal at age 24. Until this tournament, she never had been past the third round in 17 appearances at majors.I was prepared that Im going to play Venus -- its going to be tough, because all the people are cheering for her, said Pliskova, who leads the tour in aces in 2016 and produced eight in this match.It took her a while to finish off this one, despite going up an early break in the third set and leading 4-2.Just as it seemed she would run away with it, Venus turned things around enough to go up 5-4 and hold a match point.But Pliskova erased that with a swinging forehand volley -- the sort of shot Venus loves to hit -- and followed it up with another aggressive forehand winner.Then Pliskova broke to lead 6-5 and served for the match, getting three chances to close it at 40-love. After Pliskova frittered away one with a double-fault, Venus steeled herself and stepped up, smacking a volley winner, cross-court backhand winner and two forehand winners to break back for 6-all.To be honest, Pliskova said, it was really difficult ... when I lost my serve.Pliskova will face?Croatian teenager Ana Konjuh, who reached her first Grand Slam quarterfinal by upsetting No. 4 seed Agnieszka Radwanska 6-4, 6-4.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.?

Deandre Ayton Jersey . The Croatian served 21 aces and hit 42 winners against Sijsling, who double-faulted to give Cilic a 4-3 lead in the deciding set. "All the players, they know me and they were really happy to see me and they were really happy that this is over for me," Cilic said. HOUSTON -- Limiting pitching changes, restricting defensive shifts, altering the strike zone and installing pitch clocks are among the ideas Major League Baseball may consider as it undertakes a multiyear review of the game that could include the sports most radical changes in decades.Baseball owners were given a lengthy presentation Thursday during their quarterly meeting of how the sport has changed in the past 40 to 50 years.Sometimes baseball fans think about what should happen with the game sort of with an artificial construct, that the choice is between preserving `The Game, as it came down originally from the mountain, and making some changes to that game, baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said.The point of the conversation today was that the game has changed dramatically. Its changed organically. It kind of has flowed where the competitive juices of managerial and general managerial decisions have taken it. And the question is, you take a snapshot after 40 years of that and you say, wow, heres what it looks like, heres what it used to look like and should we be thinking about what has occurred and whether we want to allow it to continue to go on on the path its on?If implemented, some of the changes could be the most revolutionary since the AL adopted the designated hitter in 1973 or perhaps even since the number of balls for a walk was reduced from five to four in 1889.I think its kind of ridiculous. It changes the game completely, Orioles reliever Brad Brach said before Baltimore hosted Houston on Thursday night.Orioles catcher Matt Wieters wasnt too enthused, either.I dont like things that would actually change the way the game is played. If you make the game shorter without changing its integrity, Im all for it. But the things that are being talked about can mess with the integrity, he said.Offense dropped steadily after the start of drug testing in 2003 until an uptick started in the second half of last season. Strikeouts have set records annually for much of the past decade, increasing from an average of 12.74 per nine-inning game in 2006 to 15.57 this season.And the average time of a nine-inning game is exactly 3 hours -- Manfred highlighted that Game 7 of the 1960 World Series took 2:36 for Pittsburghs 10-9 win over the New York Yankees.Manfred acknowledged some of the increased length was caused by added TV commercials.We did not and we are really not at the point of making recommendations or having the owners make decisions about what if any changes are necessary, Manfred said.I think when you have sort of a new administration, its a good time to take a really hard look at the product. I think there are pieces to this project that are not yet complete, including figuring out what are fans are seeing, what they like, what they dont like in a more comprehensive way than weve done in recent years, having interactions with the other stakeholders in the game, the ESPNs, the Foxes, the Turners, our big partners, and sharing with them how we see the product and getting their reaction, he said.AL Cy Young Award winner Dallas Keuchel of the Astros was wary.All of those you could argue for. But then again, its changing the culture of the game of baseball and what fans have been accustomed to. That would be a bad thing because you want the best hitters facing the best pitchers, he said.Chief Operating Officer Tony Pettiti made the presentation with Senior Vice President Chris Marinak and Steve Hirdt of the Elias Sports Bureau.Manfred said defensive shifts have changed the game: There weree 2,464 on balls in play in 2011 and this years total projects to 28,117, according to Baseball Info Solutions.dddddddddddd. Pitchers per nine-inning game have increased from 6.89 in 2000 to 7.88 last year.You can make an argument that more relievers have lengthened the game, more pitching changes has slowed the pace of the game and the unbelievable effectiveness of those relief pitchers have robbed some of the action from the game, Manfred said.MLB is unlikely to propose altering the height of the pitchers mound, which was lowered from 15 inches to 10 inches after the 1968 season.Because the height of the mound does changes peoples delivery and we have a lot of pitcher issues in terms or injury and whatnot, probably would be a little slower to move in that direction, Manfred said.While MLB can make on-field rules changes unilaterally with one year advance notice, it has done so in recent years only with approval of the players association.While Manfred would like to see pitch clocks, which have been used successfully in the minor leagues since 2015, the union has been reluctant, leaving the matter for this years bargaining.Theres too many scenarios within a game that depend on either the pitcher or the batter to take a little extra time and if you get penalized for that, Boston pitcher Clay Buchholz said. I dont see how thats going to make the game any better. Its going to actually cost people some jobs, I think. No, I dont think Id be in favor of that.But the commissioner is the commissioner, he can do what he wants to do. If that happens, then Ill abide by it and go from there, he said.The current contract between owners and players will expire Dec. 2.The CBA process is kind of where you expect it to be in August, Manfred said. Weve got a nice, compete inventory of issues on the table from both sides. Weve had a good, respectful exchange at the table and were moving into that phase where I think were going to start trying to package some things up and hopefully start to make agreements on issues and move towards a final agreement. The pace of that depends, always depends, on how both parties see the relevant timing deadlines.Owners approved the sale of a controlling stake in the Seattle Mariners from Nintendo of America to a group of minority owners led by Western Wireless Corp. founder John Stanton, who will be the control person, and retired Microsoft executive Chris Larson.Bob Bowman, MLBs president of business and media, reported on the split-off of BAMTech from MLB Advanced Media and the agreement announced Aug. 9 to sell a 33 percent interest of BAMTech to The Walt Disney Co. for $1 billion, with part payable now and the remainder in January. Disney, which owns ESPN, gets an option to acquire majority ownership in the future. The NHL receives a minority interest in BAMTech under an agreement announced in August 2015.Manfred expects to have an announcement quite soon on baseballs investigation into a December report by Al Jazeera accusing high-profile athletes of using performance-enhancing drugs, among them Philadelphia first baseman Ryan Howard and Washington first baseman Ryan Zimmerman. The lawyer for Howard and Zimmerman, William Burck, called the report outright lies.Former major league catcher Taylor Teagarden, another player implicated, was suspended for 80 games in April.---AP Sports Writers David Ginsburg and Noah Trister contributed to this report.
