LONDON -- Heather Watson ran straight over to hug Henri Kontinen, her mixed doubles partner, after their victory was confirmed on Court One.After the lows of a first-round exit in the singles at Wimbledon, the Britons run to her first Grand Slam final has provided some much-needed cheer.Im pretty happy, to be honest. No, very happy, Watson told the BBC. I dont really know what to say. Im having so much fun on court with Henri.Watson and Kontinen had never played together before this week. But now they are into the mixed doubles final after a 7-6 (1), 6-3 win against Oliver Marach and Jelena Ostapenko.Having received walkovers in their first two matches, they had barely practised together, bar a warm-up, before beating defending champions Leander Paes and Martina Hingis in the quarterfinals,Watson beamed from ear to ear after shaking hands with their semifinal opponents at the net on Saturday. She clasped her arms around Kontinens neck again when they took their seats, and was signing autographs and posing for selfies on her way off court.It was a far cry from the frustrated figure who drew a $12,000 (￡9,294) fine -- the second-biggest in Wimbledon history -- for angrily slamming her racket to the turf during her singles defeat to Annika Beck, a sanction she deemed excessive.Watson and Kontinen, who know each other through the Finns British coach, Chris Eaton, wanted to play together at the French Open -- as a joke, according to Watson -- but didnt make the cut due to the Britons ranking. But with Wimbledon having a larger draw, they knew they would get in this time around.God, Im glad we decided to play together, she added, before admitting that being a major finalist was pretty damn cool.It would mean absolutely everything to me to win not just a Grand Slam, but here at Wimbledon, she told a media conference.Watson didnt even know she would be following Andy Murray onto Centre Court on Sunday -- something else she called pretty cool.Mixed is a fun thing, it doesnt come around very often, she said. Its a tough thing to take super seriously. Theres always different pairings. You cant really prepare in that way you can in singles.Theres definitely a lot more smiles and laughing and chatting on the mixed doubles court. I enjoy both, but there hasnt been much pressure on us. We werent expected to get to the final.Maybe I should laugh and smile more in my singles matches, and chat to myself.Watson will be hoping to claim more doubles success for Britain on Sunday, after Gordon Reid and Alfie Hewett became the first Britons to win the mens wheelchair doubles title at Wimbledon.Its been an incredible week, a bit of a fairytale story so far. Hopefully I can finish it off the right way tomorrow, said Reid, who will play in the first wheelchair singles final here on Sunday.Im really pleased for Alfie, I know what its like winning your first Grand Slam. To be able to do it here on home turf, its something Ill never forget for sure. Its going to be the same for Alfie.Reid, the Australian Open wheelchair singles champion, is hoping he and Murray?-- who plays in the mens singles final against Milos Raonic -- can make it a historic double for Scotland.Not bad for a small country like ours, he said. I was on Centre Court when Andy won in 2013, which was an amazing achievement. For me, having the opportunity to win the first time theyve had a wheelchair singles event is massive.We dont speak that much; hes a busy guy, Reid said of Murray. But whenever we bump into each other at the Grand Slams we have a little chat.Tim Henman might have a battle on his hands when it comes to naming the Wimbledon hill, even if Murray said he was happy for his friend to have the privilege.I heard somebody say it was renamed Reids Ridge now. I dont know if thats going to catch on enough, Reid said, smiling. Were trying to gain a lot of new fans and followers of our sport. Seeing everybody on the hill watching on the big screen shows how far our sports come. Its a really good platform to build on.Wheelchair tennis was trending on Twitter -- thats not bad, ?Hewett said.

ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Braves may not be finished with the dramatic overhaul of their rotation.General manager John Coppolella told The Associated Press on Wednesday he hopes to add another starting pitcher, even after agreeing to deals with veteran right-handers R.A. Dickey and Bartolo Colon last week.Chicago White Sox ace left-hander Chris Sale might be available in a trade. The Braves apparently would make top prospects available for Sale, an All-Star in each of the last five seasons who could be a trade target of many teams.The Braves have focused on young pitchers while trading such stars as Jason Heyward, Andrelton Simmons, Justin Upton, Evan Gattis and Craig Kimbrel in recent years. Coppolella said hes considering all options, including a trade involving prospects, in his search for another starter.We would like to add another starter if possible, but that will be more a function of market factors than any other factor, Coppolella said in a text message.Sale, 27, would be the new top name for a rotation that includes Julio Teheran, Mike Foltynewicz and Josh Collmenter as the team moves into new SunTrust Park in suburban Cobb County next year.Sale was 17-10 with a 3.34 ERA for the White Sox in 2016. He will earn $12 million in 2017. His contract includes club options at $12.5 million for 2018 and $15 million for 2019.Dicckey, 42, and Colon, 43, are short-term links to such young starters as Sean Newcomb, Kolby Allard, Max Fried and Touki Toussaint.dddddddddddd Some other young starters, including Matt Wisler, Aaron Blair and Tyrell Jenkins, already have made their Atlanta debuts.The Braves one-year, $12.5 million deal with Colon and one-year contract with an $8 million guarantee with Dickey wont be official until the players pass physicals.The deal with Dickey, the first of the 158 free agents to switch teams this offseason, was reached last Thursday. The agreement with Colon came one day later.Sale has five straight seasons with double-digit wins. The Braves had no starter with as many as 10 wins last season. The hard-throwing Foltynewicz led the team with a 9-5 record.Teheran, a two-time All-Star, is the leader of the rotation. The search for other proven starters has been the top offseason priority for Coppolella.The Braves finished last in the NL East in 2016 but won 50 of their last 97 games, leading Coppolella to say the rebuilding effort was ahead of schedule. The promotion of rookie shortstop Dansby Swanson helped the team win 20 of its last 30 games, earning interim manager Brian Snitker the full-time job. ' ' '
