CHARLESTON, S.C. - American Sloane Stephens was upset 6-4, 6-4 by Elina Svitolina at the Family Circle Cup, losing to the 35th-ranked Ukrainian on Wednesday. The 18th-ranked Stephens fell to the 19-year-old Svitolina, who earned her fourth career victory over a top 20 player — the third coming last week at the tournament near Miami. The 21-year-old Stephens gave credit to her opponent, who moved up seven spots to reach a career-high ranking this week. "She played pretty well, and its just unfortunate that I lost, but I mean, you can just learn from the mistakes and things like that and build on it," Stephens said. Last week at the Sony Open, Svitolina defeated Bethanie Mattek-Sands, Eugenie Bouchard and Barbora Zahlavova Strycova before losing to No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska. "I started to believe more in myself that I can compete with players like this, top level, top 20 and top 10," said Svitolina, who is making her first appearance on the green clay in Charleston. "I think this is the key, that I believe more in myself and I play more solid from the baseline and trying to go forward to finish the point earlier." Second-seeded Jelena Jankovic, the highest seeded player remaining after top-ranked Serena Williams was upset Tuesday, plays Wednesday night against American Lauren Davis. The 28th-ranked Venus William faces Chanelle Scheepers of South Africa later Wednesday. Stephens says shes looking forward to a long career. "If I play 10 more years of tennis, until Im 31, thats a lot of tennis to be played," Stephens said. "I could win the next Grand Slam or I could win one in six years and that would still be, you know, if I had pretty decent results and I was pretty consistent, I think that would still be pretty good." In other matches, Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia defeated American qualifier Grace Min 6-2, 6-3. Elena Vesnina of Russia stopped Petra Cetkovska of the Czech Republic, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4.

Vonn flew back to Vail, Colo., last week after hurting her surgically repaired right knee at a downhill race in France. "Her knee was swollen again after Val dIsere," U.S. womens head coach Alex Hoedlmoser told The Associated Press.BEAVER CREEK, Colo. - This is how Hannes Reichelt prefers his courses: daunting, with a dash of demanding and a bit of danger.Thats why the Austrian feels so at home on the Birds of Prey hill.Reichelt mastered a tricky World Cup super-G course Saturday, holding off Kjetil Jansrud to snap the Norwegians three-race win streak.Hardly ever hitting the brakes, Reichelt sped down the harrowing track in 1 minute, 12.78 seconds. Jansrud was second, 0.52 seconds behind, and technical specialist Alexis Pinturault of France finished third.We have a nice relationship, that slope and me, Reichelt said.Reichelt is quickly getting up to speed after surgery to fix a herniated disk in his back last January knocked him out of the Sochi Olympics. He is pain-free again.Skiing fast again, too. Especially on this course. Dustin Cook of Whistler, B.C., was 12th (1:13.93), Calgarys Jan Hudec finished 14th (1:13.99) and Morgan Pridy of Whistler, was 16th (1:14.03).Hudec is ninth in the World Cup super G standings with 47 points.The 34-year-old Reichelt earned his first World Cup win at Beaver Creek in 2005 and has been on the podium six times at this venue.There are so many bumps and so many times when you dont see the next gate, he said. So its really tough and you always have to ski great, and with (using) your brain. You have to know when to risk in the right part.He already is looking forward to the world championships on this course in February. He certainly will be one of the favourites in the super-G.This was a great step on the way to the championships, Reichelt said.For as splendid of run as Reichelt turned in, he still had to hold his breath when Jansrud took the course.I was really scared, because hes really at another level, Reichelt said.Jansruds definitely the skier to beat whenever he steps into the start gate for a speed event. He won two races last weekend in Lake Louise, Alberta, and a downhill Friday at Beaver Creek in which he skied a near-perfect run.This time, though, Jansrud made a big miscalculation. He struggled with a gate near tthe bottom of the course and got bounced around.dddddddddddd Somehow, he managed not only to stay on course, but maintain his speed.Still, his streak was snapped. Not that he was bemoaning his runner-up spot.The day I get disappointed for second place is the day you turn into an arrogant guy, said Jansrud, who vowed to hold off cutting his long hair given his recent success. So thats not going to happen. I was disappointing coming into the finish, more for the mistake. I knew I (messed) up a little bit.Thats how ski racing is. Some days you win, some you dont. Second place with such a mistake is pretty good.Andrew Weibrecht was the top American; the skier nicknamed War Horse wound up 10th. He said he gained confidence after a solid 30th-place finish the day before in the downhill.The downhill was huge for me, excited about that just to be in the points, said Weibrecht, who won silver in the super-G at the Sochi Olympics, finishing behind Jansrud. I looked it up yesterday, and it was 1,777 days since I (last) scored a downhill point.Ted Ligety was 11th — bad wrist and all. The two-time Olympic gold medallist had four metal screws inserted into his wrist as a result of a skiing mishap in a training session on Nov 22. But he hasnt given the injury a second thought.The wrist is not an issue, Ligety said.The course layout? Now thats a different story.The start was really daunting and intimidating. But you cant let that get to you, Ligety said. Skied way, way too conservative up top. It looks hairy and gnarly and its actually pretty easy if youre a good technical skier.Which, of course, Ligety is. Same with Pinturault, who really hasnt worked on his speed that much but still found a fast line.Although, he did appear to smack his shoulder on a gate. Didnt slow him down, though.Thats skiing, sometimes you dont control everything, he said. I tried to stay focused.The Birds of Prey competition concludes Sunday with a giant slalom, which is Ligetys specialty.Its always fun to ski a GS here, Ligety said. Its an awesome hill. ' ' '
