PARIS -- Top-seeded Maria Sharapova thrashed eighth-
seeded Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium 6-2, 6-2 on Friday to
set up an all-Russian semifinal against Anastasia
Pavlyuchenkova at the Open Gaz de France. Although
Sharapova dropped her serve once, the four-time Grand
Slam champion broke Flipkens serve five times to win in
little more than an hour. "We havent played against each
other in quite a bit of time," Sharapova said ahead of
her match against Pavlyuchenkova. "Shes playing really
well this year and had a great win today, so Im sure
shell be really confident." In a more tightly-contested
match, Pavlyuchenkova upset fourth-seeded Angelique
Kerber of Germany 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (3). Both had seven aces
and also dropped serve four times each. "I just tried to
stay calm and keep playing my game," Pavlyuchenkova said.
"After I lost the first set I was a bit more relaxed
even, so it was easier to focus on my game and my
technique. I think I had too much emotion in the first
set." In Saturdays other semifinal, No. 3 Sara Errani of
Italy will play Frances Alize Cornet. Errani, last years
losing finalist, had little trouble beating Ukraines
Elina Svitolina 6-2, 6-3, while Cornet needed three hours
to get past Andrea Petkovic of Germany 7-6 (6), 5-7, 6-3.

YORK, N.Y. - Peyton Manning made his fifth MVP award a
family affair. Mannings record-setting season earned him
The Associated Press NFL MVP award Saturday night in a
landslide. No other player has won more than three.
Denvers record-setting quarterback, who threw for 55
touchdowns and 5,477 yards in leading the Broncos to the
AFCs best record, earned 49 votes from a nationwide panel
of 50 media members who regularly cover the league. New
England quarterback Tom Brady got the other vote. Manning
won his other MVPs with Indianapolis in 2003, 04, 08 and
09. He also was the runner-up last season to Adrian
Peterson. "I am humbled by this recognition and grateful
to my family, (Broncos owner) Pat Bowlen, John Elway,
John Fox and the entire Denver Broncos organization, and
of course, my coaches and my teammates," Manning said in
a prepared video acceptance speech. He was not on hand as
he gets ready for Sundays Super Bowl against Seattle.
"Now, I sent a couple of guys over there tonight to pick
up the trophy on my behalf: my father Archie and my son
Marshall. Thank you very much and God bless you." Archie
Manning, holding his grandson Marshall in his arms,
accepted the award from two more MVPs, Joe Montana and
Aaron Rodgers. Manning still trails several Hall of
Famers for total MVPs in their sport. Wayne Gretzky won
nine NHL MVPs, Barry Bonds owns seven in baseball, and
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar won six in the NBA. Manning also took
the APs Offensive Player of the Year award for the second
time. Elway accepted the Offensive Player award on
Mannings behalf. "I can say I have never seen a better
year played by a quarterback than Peyton Manning," said
Elway, a Broncos executive who won the MVP award in 1987.
"To see what he did this year, it was truly amazing."
Manning received 33 votes for the offensive player
honour. He also was runner-up last year to Peterson for
the award. This time, running back LeSean McCoy of
Philadelphia was second with 10 votes, followed by Kansas
City running back Jamaal Charles with four. Carolina
grabbed two major awards, with Ron Rivera winning AP NFL
Coach of the Year and linebacker Luke Kuechly voted top
defensive player. Rivera engineered the Panthers
turnaround from a 7-9 record to 12-4, the NFC South title
and a first-round playoff bye. Kuechly keyed a defence
that allowed 241 points, less than every team except NFC
champion Seattle. "I had no idea," he said of adding the
award to the top defensive rookie honours he got last
season. "You look at the list of guys: Robert Mathis, a
sack master, a guy that forced a lot of fumbles. And
obviously, everybody knows about Richard Sherman and Earl
Thomas. Those guys are both studs." Green Bay running
back Eddie Lacy and Jets defensive tackle Sheldon
Richardson were the top rookies for 2013. San Diego
quarterback Philip Rivers took the Comeback Player of the
Year award at the NFL Honors show. Riveras fine work in
his third season in charge in Carolina brought him 21 1/2
votes. That outdistanced Kansas Citys Andy RReid, who got
13 1/2 votes.dddddddddddd In his first year with the
Chiefs, Reid took them from 2-14 to 11-5 and an AFC wild-
card berth. "I do feel a lot of pride because it has been
a long journey, but it also was a part of the process,"
Rivera said. "Just like us getting to where we are
winning 12 games was part of the process. We started, the
team was 2-14 before I got there and we went to 6-10 and
then 7-9, and this year we broke through at 12-4. It was
part of the process of growing and developing." Rivera is
the second Panthers coach to win the award. Dom Capers
was AP Coach of the Year in 1996, Carolinas second season
in the NFL. All-Pro Kuechly received 19 votes, ahead of
Indianapolis All-Pro linebacker Mathis, who earned 11
1/2. Kuechly was credited with 96 tackles, four
interceptions, two sacks, eight passes defenced, and was
a presence from sideline to sideline on the NFLs No. 2
unit. A second-round pick (61st overall) from Alabama,
Lacy was a key performer in the Packers offence,
particularly when star quarterback Aaron Rodgers was
sidelined for seven games. He rushed for 1,178 yards on
284 carries (4.1 average), with 11 touchdowns. He also
had 35 receptions. That was good enough for 35 votes. "Im
comfortable where I am, and my teammates believe in me,
and they make me feel comfortable, so Im able to play the
way Im capable of playing," said Lacy, who beat out San
Diego wide receiver Keenan Allen, who received 12 votes.
Richardson, the 13th overall pick in Aprils draft on a
selection acquired when New York traded star cornerback
Darrelle Revis to Tampa Bay, won a close race over
Buffalo linebacker Kiko Alonso. Richardson received 23
votes; Alonso, a second-round choice (46th overall), got
19. Often double-teamed as the season wore on, Richardson
made 42 tackles and had 3 1/2 sacks. He clogged the
running lanes so effectively that the Jets ranked third
against the run this season. "Im surprised," Richardson
said of beating Alonso and Arizona safety Tyrann Mathieu,
who got two votes. "Kiko and Tyrann most definitely had
outstanding rookie years and it was a toss-up to me. Kiko
made a lot of tackles and Tyrann made a lot of plays down
the field. Unfortunately he got hurt, but it was a tight
race." Richardson joked about the possibility of winning
both awards — he scored two touchdowns as a fullback in
goal-line situations. "Eddie Lacy beat me out there,"
Richardson said. "He had a few more touchdowns than I
did." Rivers led the Chargers to a wild-card playoff spot
with four straight victories to close out the schedule,
giving them a 9-7 record. He led the league with a 69.5
completion rate and threw for 32 TDs against 11
interceptions. He received 13 votes in balloting so
widespread that 12 players got votes. He was not at the
awards show at Radio City Music Hall. Chicago cornerback
Charles Tillman won the Walter Payton Man of the Year
award, and accepted the honour with tears in his eyes.
"As a Chicago Bear, this award has a special meaning to
me," Tillman said.
