United States who I know very well," Lepchenko

TORONTO — Pavol Skalicky was named Slovakias player of the game Sunday night after a 5-1 semifinal loss to Canada at the world junior championship.It was a head-scratching choice given the all-world effort from his netminder.Denis Godla made several acrobatic saves and consistently flustered the host side with his excellent play. The powerhouse Canadians eventually proved to be too much but the 19-year-old netminder almost single handedly prevented a blowout.The Air Canada Centre crowd was so impressed with his performance, fans chanted goal-ie, goal-ie, goal-ie during the post-game ceremony and let out a roar when Godla raised his glove to acknowledge the gesture.It was overwhelming and I will remember that for the rest of my life, Godla said through an interpreter.Godla made 39 saves and was the main reason Canada led by just one goal late in the second period. He had little chance on the two goals that Canada scored late in the frame and Slovakia started to wilt in the third due to the relentless pace.(Their) goalie was unbelievable, said Canadian forward Anthony Duclair. We run into a hot goalie tomorrow against Russia as well. Youve got to be ready for that and we cant get frustrated.The Canada-Russia championship game will be played Monday evening. Slovakia and Sweden will face off in the afternoon for the bronze. Slovakia had a few decent chances and took 15 shots on net but couldnt maintain any sustained pressure in the Canadian end. The visitors seemed content to play a low-scoring game, ride their hot goalie and hope for the best.It looked like a good plan for the bulk of the first two periods.We dont have a strong offence like we would like to have, Slovakia head coach Ernest Bokros said through an interpreter. Thats why we have to play our game on defence with the wonderful and beautiful goalie — Godla.David Soltes scored the lone goal for Slovakia, which opened the tournament by falling 8-0 to Canada in Montreal. Strides had been made since then but the Slovaks were flummoxed by the depth and speed of their opponents in the semifinal.We didnt help each other, said Slovak forward Martin Reway. One guy carried the puck and the other four guys just looked at him and waited for passes. Its not going to work against a team like Canada or Sweden.Slovakias high point came in a 2-1 win over Finland in the preliminary round. That was followed by a 3-0 loss to the United States and a 5-2 victory over Germany.Sweden, meanwhile, enters the bronze medal game after dropping a 4-1 decision to Russia.We have to win that game, Reway said. We had a great story this tournament and we now have to finish this tournament in a good way. Itll be a tough game but I think we are going to win that game.———Follow @GregoryStrongCP on Twitter.

The top-seeded and top-ranked Williams dropped three consecutive games to fall behind 4-3 and then ripped seven straight points to right the ship in front of a sellout crowd at Stanford. "It wasnt very easy," Williams said. "I tried to do the things I worked on. Im feeling really good. Im not out of breath, so yeah." Williams assured herself of a 200th non-consecutive week at the top of the ladder while Ivanovic will return to the top 10 for first time in over five years. Andrea Petkovic ended Venus Williams run in the tournament, beating the former top-ranked player 6-1, 3-6, 7-5 in the quarterfinals. She gets a shot at Serena Williams on Saturday afternoon. "You dont ever have the feeling you have something under control when you play either of them," Petkovic said. "They can hit so hard, and play consistently well. You always have to be on your toes." Following a shaky start, the 25th-ranked Venus Williams picked up her game in the second set and appeared poised to take over the match. The 18th-ranked Petkovic rallied in the third set, taking leads of 3-1 and 5-3, to beat Williams in their first meeting since Luxembourg in 2012. "I was not as on as I was on previous days," Williams said. "I had to fight through that and I think I almost did that. But she played the last two points better." Pettkovic, making her debut in the tournament, is looking for her third title of the season.dddddddddddd. She also reached the semifinal at the French Open. "I played one of my best games in the third set at 5-5," Petkovic said. "Before that it was a weird match. There were so many momentum changes and so many ups and downs, I felt like I played four different matches in one." The Serena-Ana match was similar as Ivanovic dominated the first set before Williams turned it around in the second set. The third set took on a life of its own. Both players simply refused to go away and battled through long rallies and silly errors. Serena served for the match at 5-4 but Ivanovic denied her. Serena broke back and used a pair of aces to take a 40-0 lead before ending it when Ivanovics return went just wide. Varvara Lepchenko took care of qualifier Sachia Vickery, 6-1, 6-0, to earn her 400th career win, which includes all levels.

I knew this match would be mentally tough but was just trying to play the best tennis I could." She will meet third-seeded Angelique Kerber in Saturday nights semifinal. Kerber topped Garbine Muguruza, 6-2, 6-1. "She is definitely one of the tougher lefty opponents out there, so I will have to play and fight for every single point," Lepchenko said. "Im going to stay focused on my game and hopefully things will work out well for me."
