It was 4-all in the fourth set of the decisive fifth match. Jack Sock was about to serve. With his eyes half-closed, his opponent, Borna Coric, tapped his index finger against his left temple a few times. Then he made a fist and banged it lightly a few times against his forehead.Focus. Focus. Focus.Thats exactly what Coric displayed in the tense moments of this Davis Cup battle. He reeled off the last seven points to end the match -- and the tie -- in exactly three hours, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, giving Croatia a stunning win against the United States on Sunday.Croatia had started the weekend in Portland, Oregon, down 2-0 after Fridays singles matches. A done deal, right? The U.S. had been 157-3 when it won its first two matches, while Croatia had never recovered from a 2-0 deficit to win. But suddenly, after Mike?and Bob Bryan fell Saturday and John Isner lost his reverse singles rubber earlier Sunday, it came down to Sock and Coric.Coric is just 19. But he knew the match would go to whoever was mentally stronger. Earlier in the year, he had clinched the first-round tie against Belgium in a similar situation. Sock, while 23, had been flung in the deep end. This was his first Davis Cup tie on home soil. Both men felt the pressure, only one mastered it.I was fighting with myself. But these guys, they were all the time here for me, Coric told the crowd after he clinched for the visitors, gesturing to the Croatian bench.Coric took up tennis at age 8 after watching Croatia clinch its sole Davis Cup title in 2005.That year, Croatias march to the title began with a comparable shocker: an upset of a strong U.S. team led by Andre Agassi and Andy Roddick. Somehow, it probably wont be much consolation to U.S. captain Jim Courier, Sock & Co.This was a devastating blow to the Americans, whose male players had left Wimbledon with a lot to feel good about. The two singles players, No. 16 Isner and No. 26 Sock, made the third round before losing to higher-ranked players. Sock had never gone the distance in a best-of-five match until this year, when he won two of three going into this tie.Then on Friday, Sock made it three of four by digging himself out of a very deep hole. He lost the first two sets to Marin Cilic but surged back to win. It was the second time in eight days that Cilic lost after leading by two sets. (Roger Federer pulled the other comeback in the Wimbledon quarterfinals.) Isner crushed Coric in the second match, giving up just 11 games. It was an impressive display of American grit and firepower.After his humiliating loss to Sock, Cilic declared he would be playing doubles, even though it wasnt part of the game plan. He teamed with Ivan Dodig to hammer the Bryan brothers, inflicting just the fifth loss in 29 matches for the U.S. doubles specialists. The tie turned on that upset.Fired up, Cilic met Isner in the fourth match. Isner played a great first set, but Cilic outdueled him in the tiebreaker and went on to win in straight sets.In my first match, I didnt show how much spirit we have, said Cilic, the elder statesman of the Croatian squad. I didnt show my emotion. I wanted it to be different today to show how motivated we are.The win set the stage for Corics heroics. The only other time he had played Sock came on the slow red clay of the 2015 French Open, with the American rolling in straight sets.This one was different. While Sock seemed to handle the occasion well, he was haunted by the same inconsistency that hampers him on tour. Hes a wonderful athlete who hasnt quite harnessed all of his energy, so it is often scattered in every direction instead of being modulated and channeled into a single productive one.You could say he sometimes lacks focus.That doesnt appear to be Corics problem.Charles Haley Womens Jersey .

Take II pushed them over the top as the dynamic duo came through in a big way.Given a reprieve at the end of regulation by a missed field goal, the Rainbow Warriors took full advantage with back-to-back TD strikes as they beat Air Force 34-27 in double overtime on Saturday to end the Falcons 15-game home winning streak.Brown threw a 25-yard TD pass to Kemp on the first play of the second overtime to give Hawaii (4-4, 3-1 Mountain West) the lead. Jalen Rogers intercepted a Nate Romine pass on fourth down to seal it and the Rainbow Warriors rushed the field in exuberance.When the ball went in the air, I just knew it was over, Rogers said. I knew I was either going to break it up or pick it.Brown and Kemp also connected on a 13-yard score in the first OT after Romine summersaulted into the end zone for a 5-yard score on Air Forces possession.Luke Strebel, who had made a Mountain West record 22 straight field goals, had a chance to win it on the final play of regulation, but his 32-yard attempt went wide right.They put me in a great spot to make a big play. Unfortunately, sometimes they dont go your way, Strebel said. You look back on it and you think, `I make that 99 times out of 100. Its easy. Its a shame that that had to be the one.Brown finished with a career-high 312 yards passing for Hawaii, including a 40-yard TD strike to John Ursua to tie it at 20 with 11:51 remaining. He also threw two interceptions after entering with a streak of 112 passes without a pick.Ursua had seven catches for 108 yards and Kemp six grabs for 151.To be a receiver you have to be confident. To be a big-time player you need to be confident in yourself, so I believe I can beat almost anybody, said Kemp, who burned Air Force senior DB Roland Ladipo for both OT scores.The Falcons (4-3, 1-3) lost at Falcon Stadium for the first time since Nov. 21, 2013, against UNLV. Theyve now dropped three in a row after a 4-0 start.There was a scary moment early in the third quarter when Air Force defensive back Jesse Washington wwas strapped to a stretcher and taken off the field after being tackled during an interception return.dddddddddddd The senior was on the ground for several minutes and tended to by team medical personnel. He gave two thumbs up as he was taken off the field.Washington was traveling up the right sideline on his 27-yard interception return when Hawaii tailback Diocemy Saint Juste tackled him. Washingtons head appeared to snap back.Thats our brother and you see him lying there with his eyes closed, said defensive back Brodie Hicks, who had the interception that ended Browns string. Ive never been more scared in my life.Washington had full movement in his extremities and was taken to a hospital as a precaution, the team announced.THE TAKEAWAYHAWAII: Trailed three times and rallied back. The Rainbow Warriors were routed 58-7 last season by Air Force and a day later, head coach Norm Chow was fired.I was just so happy my team came away with the win because of last year and the score last year and the things that we went through, said Rogers, whose team captured the Kuter Trophy thats given to the winner of this rivalry. But things are changing.AIR FORCE: The Falcons couldnt get any sort of passing game going against the Rainbow Warriors. Romine finished 1 for 10 for 20 yards.GAME BALL TO MOMRogers rushed over to the stands and threw the ball he intercepted to his mom.Hopefully she got away with it and I dont have to pay for it, Rogers said with a smile.NO BLAME GAMEAir Force got the ball with 8:18 remaining in regulation and methodically worked it down the field, only to have Strebels kick sail wide. He connected from 47 and 42 yards in the third quarter.His teammates had his back.Sometimes, you just miss, Hicks said. Im not mad at him at all. The team isnt.UP NEXTHAWAII: Hosts New Mexico next Saturday.
