BOGOTA, Colombia -- Croatias Ivo Karlovic won the Claro Open Colombia on Sunday, spoiling hometown favourite Alejandro Fallas bid for his first ATP Tour title. Jamel Dean Youth Jersey . The 34-year-old Karlovic, the tallest player on tour at 6-foot-10, beat Falla 6-3, 7-6 (4) on the hard court at Centro de Alto Rendimiento for his fifth career title. Karlovic missed three months this season because of viral meningitis, returning this month at Newport. Mike Alstott Womens Jersey . After a first half in which he thought "the lid was on the basket," the Toronto Raptors coach watched his squad mount a second half surge to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers 98-91. Sean Bunting Jersey . Tests earlier this week revealed a Grade 2 left hamstring strain for Sabathia, who was hurt in last Fridays start against San Francisco. Its an injury that will require about eight weeks to heal. He finished a disappointing campaign just 14-13 with a career-worst 4. http:///...p-buccaneers-jersey/ . The 28-year-old from Calgary matched his career best after missing just one shot in his two rounds of shooting in the mens 10-kilometre sprint competition. Smith finished in 23 minutes 15. FORT WORTH, Texas -- Graham Rahal made a last-lap pass and just held on to beat James Hinchcliffe in the closest finish ever for an IndyCar race at Texas.The only time Rahal led the race -- competed over a 2 1/2-month span -- was when he sliced to the bottom of the track coming off of the backstretch on that final lap Saturday night. He won by eight-thousandths (0.008) of a second, crossing the line only inches and side-by-side with Hinchcliffe, with Tony Kanaan right behind them.Rahal almost celebrated a bit too early, pumping a fist over his head just before crossing the checkered flag with Hinchcliffe right beside him and still making a final push for the victory.Hinchcliffe had led the Firestone 600 for 76 days. He was leading when the race was initially red-flagged June 12 because of rain after only 71 of 248 laps, and dominated after it resumed until three late restarts.Rahals fourth career win came at the high-banked, 1 1/2-mile-oval where four years ago he appeared headed for victory before brushing the wall on the last lap and finishing second to Justin Wilson.Hinchcliffe led 188 laps overall in the race, including 157 of the 177 laps run Saturday night.Series points leader Simon Pagenaud was fourth, and extended his lead to from 20 to 28 points over Team Penske teammate Will Power with two races left. Power, who won four of the previous six races with runner-up finishes in the other two, was eighth at Texas.Ed Carpenter twice had contact with other cars while running second behind Hinchcliffe in the later laps.Carpenter was within about 2 seconds of the lead on Lap 213 when Scott Dixon, trying to get back on the lead lap, made contact coming off the frontstretch. That sent Dixon spinning, and Carpenter believes he might have cut a tire though he was able to stay on the track and even took the lead after that.After the ensuing caution, Hinchcliffe and Carpenter restarted 1-2 on lap 221, and Carpenter went low coming off the backstretch and led at the line by a matter of inches. Mike Edwards Youth Jersey. Hinchcliffe went back in front on the next lap, and was still there when Carpenter got loose coming out of Turn 4 on lap 225 and made contact with Helio Castroneves and slammed into the wall to end his race.There was one more caution after that, when lead-lap car Mikhail Aleshin crashed, setting up the final sprint to the finish.It was the fifth-closest finish in IndyCar Series history and the closest of any race ever at the Texas track that has hosted NASCAR and IndyCar races since 1997. At one point, the top four finishers were running side-by-side on the backstretch.Some other notable items from IndyCars one-day return to Texas:BACK THE BLUE: Two police officers wounded on duty, Jorge Barrientos from Dallas and Matt Pearce from Fort Worth, served as co-grand mashals and gave drivers the command to start their engines. Barrientos was wounded in the July 7 downtown Dallas attack that left five officers dead, Pearce survived being shot multiple times by a fugitive during a manhunt in March. Pearce was the grand marshal in June. Every IndyCar on Saturday night had a Back the Blue decal, and before the race drivers wore caps representing different local police and national law enforcement agencies.FAST BREAK: Takuma Sato was only two laps into the short practice session when something broke in the car and the No. 14 car slammed into the wall coming out of Turn 4. The A.J. Foyt Racing team got the car fixed and ready for the restart.UP NEXT: IndyCar is going to Watkins Glen instead of Boston next Sunday for the second-to-last race of the season. When the planned Boston race was canceled earlier this year, Watkins Glen become the replacement for the Labor Day weekend date. The last IndyCar race at Watkins Glen was in 2010, and won by Power.---AP Auto Racing Website: www.racing.ap.org ' ' '
