MELBOURNE, Australia -- Victoria Azerankas win over Maria Sharapova in the Australian Open final on Saturday elevated her to No. 1 and also forced a shift in the womens top 10 rankings. Azarenka moved from No. 3 to No. 1, passing Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, who will remain at No. 2 after her loss in the semifinals. The 22-year-old Belarusian is the 21st player to hold the No. 1 spot since computer rankings were introduced in 1975. The WTA said Saturday that rankings which will take effect Monday show Sharapova moving up one spot to third and Caroline Wozniacki, who held the No. 1 ranking for nearly 67 weeks before losing in the quarter-finals to Kim Clijsters, dropping to fourth. U.S. Open champion Sam Stosur, who lost in the first round, moves up one spot to fifth despite the poor result at her home major, while Agnieszka Radwanska is a career-high No. 6. Marion Bartoli of France moves up two spots to a career-best seventh, while Vera Zvonareva is No. 8, French Open champion Li Na drops four spots to No. 9 and Andrea Petkovic, who withdrew from the Australian Open due to a stress fracture in her back, stays at No. 10. Li dropped from fifth after she lost in the fourth round to defending champion Clijsters. The Chinese star had a high number of ranking points to defend as a finalist last year. Clijsters, who lost in the semifinals to Azarenka this year, is projected to drop to about 30th from No. 11. Serena Williams, who lost in the fourth round, will remain at No. 12. "Ive been loving coming to Australia since I was a junior, and Ive had an amazing month and this is a dream come true," Azarenka said She had a 55-17 win-loss record in 2011, winning three titles and finishing runner-up in two others. She started 2012 strongly, defeating three top 10 players in a row en route to her ninth career singles title at the Sydney International. She remains undefeated in 2012 with a 12-0 record. She is the third player to achieve the top ranking directly after claiming a first Grand Slam singles title: Martina Navratilova moved to No. 1 after winning Wimbledon in 1978 and Ana Ivanovic took top spot after winning the 2008 French Open. wholesale jerseys .

CLEVELAND -- For a team that just snapped a five-game losing streak, the Boston Celtics werent doing much celebrating following Tuesday nights 86-83 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. In fact, cranky would best describe the Celtics mood as they packed for a trip home to play Milwaukee on Wednesday. "It was a win, thats all it was for us," Boston coach Doc Rivers said. "It was a good way to end the losing streak, but we have to be better than that. That was awful." Ray Allen scored 22 points and Kevin Garnett added 18 as Boston, which couldnt hold a 16-point lead in the first quarter, avoided its first six-game skid since dropping seven in a row from April 4-15, 2007. The Celtics big lead became a five-point deficit in the third quarter, making the last 12 minutes a possession-by-possession game until Boston finally made enough plays to pull it out. "Hopefully, this was just a little All-Star hangover," Paul Pierce said. "Were making it hard on ourselves." Kyrie Irving returned from a bruised elbow that sidelined him late in the second quarter and led Cleveland with 24 points, 19 in the second half. Irving hit two free throws with 1:21 remaining to give Cleveland an 81-80 lead. After Allen missed a 3-pointer, Garnett tipped Irvings pass, leading to Allens dunk with 48.6 seconds left that put Boston ahead for good. "I got my hand on it and I got the ball to Ray for a layup," Garnett said. "Nothing special about it." Irving said it was simply a good defensive play by the Celtics. "I wasnt careless," Irving said. "They anticipated it and they stole the ball. Nothing big." Irving drove down the lane and missed a layup with 27 seconds remaining. Garnett missed on Bostons next possession, but grabbed his own rebound and was fouled by Antawn Jamison with 3.9 seconds to go. Garnett made both shots and the Cavaliers called a timeout trailing 84-81. Irving was fouled before he could get off a 3-point attempt and made both free throws with 3.5 seconds left. Allen hit two foul shots with 2.4 seconds remaining, and Anthony Parkers 3-pointer at the buzzer hit the front rim. A moment of silence was observed before the game for the victims of Mondays shootings at Chardon High School, located approximately 30 miles from Cleveland. Three students were killed and two were wounded. The Celtics lead the Cavaliers by 2 1/2 games for eighth place in the Eastern Conference. Boston lost its final five games before the Alll-Star break, the last three by 15 or more points.dddddddddddd "Weve got to fight through this," Garnett said. "This is going to be a true grind right here, physically and mentally." It appeared the Celtics were headed to a blowout of their own as they dominated the first quarter, shooting 12 for 20 from the field. Their biggest lead was 28-12 on Garnetts bank shot with 19 seconds left in the period. Irving left the game with 3:41 remaining before halftime after taking a charge from Pierce. Irving was taken to the locker room and returned to the bench with about two minutes to go, but didnt play the rest of the half. Cleveland trailed 43-38 at halftime. "I just hit my elbow on the floor," Irving said. "Once I got back (to the locker room) I felt much better. There was nothing funny about it (hitting his funny bone). It was my first almost-injury in the NBA." Irving returned to begin the second half and immediately made his presence felt. His 3-pointer broke a 53-all tie with 5:03 remaining in the quarter. Irving followed with a steal and a breakaway dunk to give Cleveland a five-point lead, its largest of the game. Irving had six points in his last game before the All-Star break, tying his career low, and was 2 for 13 from the field. He scored 34 points and earned MVP honours in the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday. "Hes terrific," Rivers said. "His handling skills and moxie in the fourth quarter, I dont know if weve ever seen it from a rookie." Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo was held scoreless for the first time since March 16 last season against Indiana. He had 11 assists, but committed five turnovers. "He was struggling," Rivers said. "I think he got down on himself because of his turnovers." Cleveland finished its franchise record nine-game homestand with a 4-5 record. Celtics centre Jermaine ONeal missed his second straight game with a sprained left wrist. He remained in Boston and will be examined by doctors Wednesday. NOTES: Boston F Brandon Bass, who had missed the past six games with a sore left knee, and centre Chris Wilcox, who didnt play in the final game before the All-Star break because of a strained right adductor, both returned. Bass scored 12 points, while Wilcox had five points and a season-high 11 rebounds. ... Parker returned after missing 12 games because of a lower back strain. He scored one point in 22 minutes. ...
