LONDON -- Roger Federer could play for another four years
and add to his tally of 17 Grand Slam titles, according
to former No. 1 Pete Sampras. Speaking ahead of an
exhibition match against Andre Agassi in London on March
3, Sampras said on a conference call Wednesday that he is
impressed by Federers longevity. "Im amazed that he is up
for more tennis," Sampras said. "He has done everything
in the game and he could walk away tomorrow feeling great
about it. But he still wants to travel and compete and Im
in awe of it. He is a true lover of the sport." Following
a disappointing 2013 season marred by back problems,
Federer started this year on a high. Now working with new
coach Stefan Edberg, he reached the final of his first
tournament, at Brisbane, and then made the semifinals of
the Australian Open for the 11th consecutive year. His
run at Melbourne included wins over 2008 finalist Jo-
Wilfried Tsonga and Wimbledon champion Andy Murray.
Sampras, who retired after winning his 14th Grand Slam
title at the 2002 U.S. Open, said Federer should be
comforted by a streak that finally ended with a defeat to
Rafael Nadal. "I thought his level was quite good,"
Sampras said. "When youre playing against Rafa and if
youre not quite on your game then it can seem like youre
struggling. Rafa is a rock. But I do see Roger building
from that, I think hes going to do well this year." Asked
if Federer could win another Grand Slam title, Sampras
said the Swiss "can do it" if he plays his best tennis.
"Thats why hes playing, I dont think hes playing for
anything else but to win some more majors," said Sampras,
adding that Federers best chance would be on his
favourite grass surface, at Wimbledon. Sampras was 31
when he decided to hang up his racket for good, while the
32-year-old Federer has hinted he could keep playing
until the Rio Olympics in 2016. "As long as Roger is
enjoying it and hes healthy, I can see him playing for
another two, three, four more years," Sampras said.

The Carolina Hurricanes used a strong third period to
extend their winning streak to three games.KANSAS CITY,
Mo. -- Justin Ruggiano picked the scuffed-up ball off the
carpet, smiled a toothy smile and proudly held it up for
everyone to see in the visiting clubhouse at Kauffman
Stadium. A souvenir from his first career hit? Nope. Just
his first hit in a while. Ruggiano snapped a franchise-
worst 0-for-42 slump by hitting that ball for a single in
the first inning Wednesday, and then added two more hits
and drove in a run as the Miami Marlins beat the Kansas
City Royals 5-2 to wrap up a winning three-game series.
"It became a mental issue. I wouldnt wish that on anybody
in the world," said Ruggiano, whose last hit came on July
12. "Im just glad its over with. Now I can get back to
doing what I do." Ruggiano drove in the Marlins first
run, but they still trailed 2-1 when Koyie Hill doubled
off reliever Tim Collins (2-6) to start the seventh.
Christian Yelich then hit a grounder toward third that
utility man Elliot Johnson let through his legs to put
runners on second and third. Donovan Solano and Logan
Morrison followed with RBI groundouts to give the Marlins
the lead. That was enough for the Marlins bullpen. Dan
Jennings (2-3) got through the sixth, A.J. Ramos worked
the seventh and eighth, and Steve Cishek handled the
ninth for his 26th save. Cishek struck out Alex Gordon
with runners on first and second to end the game. "This
is a resilient group of guys," Marlins manager Mike
Redmond said. "They keep coming back and battling, and I
think you saw some big hits by guys out there." Solano
and Morrison each finished with a pair of RBIs for Miami.
"Its always good to go out there and play well against
teams that are making a push for a playoff spot," Redmond
said. "Thats a good feeling heading home." Indeed, the
Royals were rolling when the series began. Theyd won 17
of 20 after taking the opener to climb into playoff
contention, but now limp off to play five games in four
days against AL Central-leading Detroit with their first
defeat in eight series. Now, the Marlins have won two
straight to ffinish off a long road trip.dddddddddddd The
Royals, blanked 1-0 in 10 innings Tuesday night, got off
to a good start when Eric Hosmer doubled in the first
inning and eventually scored on a single by Salvador
Perez. The Royals failed to take advantage of the erratic
Jacob Turner, though. The Marlins starter walked six
without a strikeout in five-plus innings, but Kansas City
could only squeeze out one more run against him on a
groundout by David Lough in the fourth. The Marlins got
their first run when Ruggiano drove in Adeiney
Hechavarria in the top half of the fourth. They were
otherwise hamstrung by Royals starter Ervin Santana, who
dodged eight hits and two walks over six innings to hand
his bullpen the lead. The Royals relievers -- with little
help from their defence -- failed to hold on. Johnsons
error turned the game, Royals manager Ned Yost said, and
eventually led to the go-ahead runs. "In Elliots defence,
it was cue-ball shot with a lot of English. It had a lot
of spin on it, it hit and then boom, it stayed down,"
Yost said. "It changed the whole complexion of the
inning." For his part, Johnson refused to make any
excuses. "Were in the middle of the hunt and theyre not
going to tolerate that sort of stuff. It seems like an
easy play," Johnson said. "It wasnt as easy as it seems,
(but) still I should have made it. Im playing in the big
leagues and youve got to make those kinds of plays."
Solano and Morrison tacked on run-scoring singles off
Luke Hochevar in the ninth, and Cishek finished up for
his 21st straight save, the third-best streak in the
majors. NOTES: The Royals acquired INF-OF Emilio
Bonifacio from the Blue Jays for a player to be named or
cash. They made space for him on the 40-man roster by
transferring INF Miguel Tejada (right calf strain) to the
60-day DL. ... Johnson went 0 for 3 for the Royals,
extending his slump to 0 for 30. He doesnt have a hit
since July 6. ... Turner is still winless in 12 career
road starts. ... The Marlins previous four wins this
month had been shutouts.
