Pirate Galaxy » becomes the first top seed to win since Caroline Wozni

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Rookie Brandon Williams is the starting cornerback for the Arizona Cardinals.Playing opposite All-Pro Patrick Peterson, there will be a barrage of passes coming Williams way.Is he ready?Hes the best weve got, coach Bruce Arians said after practice Wednesday, so he better be.Its almost Williams job by default. Mike Jenkins tore an ACL and is out for the season. Justin Bethel has a bad foot. Marcus Cooper just got here.So the Cardinals will stick with Williams, who has only been playing the position for a year or so.Of course it feels good, Williams said, because ultimately Im doing something right. But Im not satisfied at all. Ive got a lot of goals. My dreams not complete.Williams was a running back before he was switched to corner in his final season at Texas A&M.While he has impressive athleticism, he gave up some big plays in the preseason.Arians said Williams needs to learn to consistently turn around and look for the ball when hes covering a receiver.Me running with a guy and then having to turn around and find the ball is something new to me, Williams said, because as a running back I didnt have to do that. So its something Im working on and I feel like Im getting good.Williams faces some big-time talent in the Cardinals season opener Sunday night against the New England Patriots. Tom Brady wont be there, but backup Jimmy Garoppolo has a host of talented receivers.It all starts with the eyes, Williams said. Thats a very good offense. Theyve got a lot of different things they do, a lot of personnel they do, so our eyes will be a big key in stopping those plays.Williams said hes learned theres a whole different attitude in being a cornerback.Being relaxed, he said. Running back is more of an attack position, more of `Im going to go get it, as a cornerback is more relaxed and a `let the game come to you position.Expect Williams to get some help.Arians said Peterson wont stick with one receiver the whole game, as he often does when the opponent has an obvious No. 1 target.Hell be in a bunch of different places, Arians said. Theres not a guy that hes going to mirror all the time.The help will come often, not just when only Arizonas defensive front is rushing the passer.We can help him even when were doing everything else, Arians said, other than blitzing everybody and he wont have to cover him very long if were blitzing everybody.Arians said Bethel, a three-time Pro Bowl selection on special teams, hasnt practiced enough to start at cornerback.Bethel was supposed to challenge Williams for the job. But his foot never responded fully from offseason surgery and he knows he will have to play in pain through the season.If I was a normal person I could just sit around and let it heal up, Bethel said.He acknowledged that the pain slows him down.Yeah, you can feel it, Bethel said. I try not to think about it but obviously its there. Its not like something I can tape up and get around. Its not a shoulder, its not an arm, its my foot and I have to be on my feet.Bethel will play, Arians said. So will Cooper, acquired this week in a trade with Kansas City.But at the start, the job goes to the rookie.I never thought it would happen, he said. Not saying I doubted myself or anything. I just never looked this far ahead. I was just taking it day by day, but now its on me and Im very excited about it.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLAl Oliver Jersey .

Today, we look back at Boston Strong - a citys recovery from tragedy.NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Top-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska completed a dominating week at the Connecticut Open on Sunday, beating Elina Svitolina 6-1, 7-6 (3) in the final then spraying her coaches and friends with champagne.The Polish star didnt drop a set during the tournament, her 19th WTA championship. She took control of the final from the start, winning 20 of the first 27 points, jumping out to a 5-0 lead.She ran the 21-year-old Ukrainian all over the court, chasing down shots and placing her own with pinpoint accuracy. Svitolina held off two set points in the sixth game, but Radwanska was able to serve out the set in 29 minutes.I was really feeling good this week, Radwanska said. Everything was working. I was feeling very confident on that court.The second set was much closer. It included three service breaks for each player and a 37-shot rally in the ninth game. Radwanska broke serve in that game to go up 5-4 and seemed to be in control, especially after Svitolina turned her ankle chasing a lob shot.But the 10th seed rallied, breaking back and going up 6-5. Radwanska saved two set points to force the tiebreaker, and took five of the last six points to win it.Svitolina committed 36 unforced errors, including a backhand into the net to end the match.Set points, they come and go in five seconds, Svitolina said. She served two big serves. She placed it really well.Radwanska had nnever before made it past the quarterfinals in New Haven, but had a relatively easy trip this year that included a first round bye and straight set wins over Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia, lucky loser Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium and a 6-1, 6-1 semifinal victory over two-time champion Petra Kvitova.ddddddddddddShe becomes the first top seed to win since Caroline Wozniacki did it in 2011. The title is Radwanskas second this season after taking the Shenzhen Open in China in January.She takes home just over $130,000 for winning in Connecticut, but also earned enough points to clinch the U.S. Open Series bonus challenge. That means a chance for up to an extra $1 million, depending on her finish in New York next week, where she will be the No. 4 seed.So now its everything in my power to do good in the U.S. Open, she said with a big grin. It will be worth it, right?Svitolina, who beat Serena Williams in the third round at the Olympics, is now 4-1 in WTA finals, but this was her first at a Premier level event. She was playing this tournament for the fourth time and had never before made it out of the first round.She said it was a disappointing first set, but an otherwise encouraging week.There is no time to be sad because U.S. Open is just on Monday, she said.
