TORONTO -- Retired tennis star Pete Sampras thinks the Wimbledon mens singles record he shares with Roger Federer is safe for the foreseeable future. Johan Larsson Jersey . "I dont know if someone in the next 10 years will be able to win five or six Wimbledons," Sampras said on a conference call Monday ahead of next months visit to Toronto for his induction into the Rogers Cup Hall of Fame. Sampras, who will also play in the Rogers Legends Cup, and Federer each have seven singles wins at the All England Club. Scotlands Andy Murray won his first Wimbledon title earlier this month. "This was Andys time, it was Andys event to go and get and he did it," said Sampras. "Hes definitely the man to beat at the U.S. Open." Murray is currently ranked No. 2 in the world behind Novak Djokovic, with David Ferrer at No. 3, Rafael Nadal at No. 4 and Federer at No. 5. "I think the biggest thing for me is Murray in the past 12 months has just stepped up," Sampras said. But he doesnt see anyone being able to conquer Wimbledons grass courts the way he and Federer did. "Roger and myself, our game on grass was so ... dominant," Sampras said. "I think Murray can win some more and Djokovic, but I dont think that dominant game is out there thats going to win it seven times. "But I could be wrong." Of course, there is always the possibility Federer could add another. After his second-round loss at Wimbledon this year, he switched to a larger-faced racket to try and improve his game. "I dont know where his heads at, whether hes going to stick with it," said Sampras, who switched to a similar racket after he retired. Sampras says it helped his backhand and provided more power on the serve. "I wish I would have tried it, at least a little bit on the clay, when I was playing," he said. "It would have helped me a little bit." As for Canadas top-ranked mens singles player right now, Milos Raonic, Sampras says he has what it takes to win a major but it takes time to get there. "Hes got a huge game and a monster serve and he competes well, he does everything really, really well. Its just a matter of getting experience, putting yourself out there against the best players in the world," said Sampras. "Its just a matter of getting over that next hurdle. "Maybe hes got to work a little harder, maybe hes got to push a little more, its such a physical game today." Alexander Mogilny Jersey . -- The boos poured down on Tom Brady and the New England Patriots at the end of a horrible first half. Jack Eichel Jersey .05 million next season unless Graham and the Saints subsequently agree on a long-term deal. The designation was released Monday after the deadline passed for NFL teams to use franchise or transition tags on players becoming free agents. www.cheapsabresjerseys.com/?tag=adidas-danny-gare-jersey .S. hockey team after paying his dues as an NHL general manager for more than three decades and giving up a lot of his free time to help USA Hockey. OAKLAND, Calif. -- Trevor Bauer paced slowly off the mound after a disastrous second inning, one position player after the next passing him on his way back to the Cleveland Indians dugout.Moments earlier, a bad inning turned into a disastrous one when first baseman Carlos Santana lost what would have been an inning-ending popup in the sun that went for a two-run error.The five-run inning turned out to be the difference as Kendall Graveman pitched into the seventh inning to become Oaklands first 10-game-winner this season, and the Athletics beat the Indians 5-1 on Wednesday to win the series.Khris Davis tripled and scored as part of Oaklands five-run second inning off Bauer (9-6).The inning was especially frustrating because for the most part, Bauer felt he executed his pitches.Two of the hits were broken-bat hits on balls that werent even remotely close to being strikes, Bauer said. Its like, you try to get them to chase out of the (strike) zone and they turn into hits. You just try to execute pitches and keep going.The As had already scored three runs in the inning when Santana lost Danny Valencias infield popup.I thought I was out of it, Bauer said. I tried to minimize and it didnt work out so, I tried to go out there and keep throwing innings after that, unfortunately we werent able to come back today. Weve done that a lot lately.Santanas error followed a diving play that robbed Brett Eibner of a hit earlier in the inning.Things happen in baseball, Santana said. I made the (diving) play and then the popup. The way I think about now, tomorrow is a new day.Bauer gave up nine hits over 6 2/3 innings. After striking out a career-high 13 in his last start, he fanned three.I will say, to his credit, when it looks like its going to be an `unload the bullpen day, he stayed out there going into the seventh inning, Indians manager Terry Francona said. I give him credit for that because sometimes you dont see a guy pitch that deep after that kind of an inning.Roberto Perez homered while Jose Ramirez and Lonnie Chisenhall had two hits apiece for Cleveland.An As team in disarray going into the series took two of three games from the AL Central leaders, who had swept a three-game set from Oakland in July. Sam Reinhart Jersey. hey just flat out beat us this series with some good pitching, Indians designated hitter Mike Napoli said. We just couldnt get anything going.Cleveland went into the day with the best record in the American League, but was held to one run for the third consecutive game while being outscored 14-3 in the series.Hopefully we just had like three days of amnesia, Francona said.I think those things happen. Not fun when it does, but it happens. Fortunately we won one game 1-0, but we have to give them some credit. They did a number on us. Its not always one thing.Graveman (10-8) allowed six hits in 6 2/3 innings and won for the ninth time in his last 11 decisions.Mark Rzepczynski, Ryan Dull and Ryan Madson combined to retire the final seven batters.To hold a team and a lineup like that to a couple runs ... its fun to watch, Graveman said. Guys are starting to step up and do some good things in big situations.Ryon Healy, Max Muncy and Chad Pinder drove in runs for Oakland in the second inning.Its been kind of a theme for us this year, As manager Bob Melvin said. I cant figure it out. Theres certain days and certain series that we can move the line offensively. We just dont do it consistently enough.PERFECTLY PLACEDPerez homered with two outs in the seventh. The ball hit off the top of the wall in right field and bounced right back into Valencias glove. Umpires initially ruled it a hit, then changed it to a home run -- Perezs first of the season -- after going to replay.That particular part of the fence, behind it, its out of play, so Im guessing thats what they were calling, Melvin said. Its the only place in the ballpark where you have that metal piece behind it, and it ended up affecting us.UP NEXTIndians: RHP Josh Tomlin (11-7) pitches the opener in Texas on Thursday. He was roughed up for eight runs in 3 2/3 innings the last time he faced the Rangers on May 30.
