| Brisbane, Australia (SportsNetwork. Reggie Miller Jersey .com) - A pair of top-three seeds -- Roger Federer and Milos Raonic -- recorded season-opening wins Thursday at the Brisbane International tennis event. The top-seeded Federer rallied from a set and a break down to come back to top game Aussie wild card John Millman 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 in 2 hours, 2 minutes, while the third-seeded Raonic fired 17 aces in rolling past Kazakhstans Mikhail Kukushkin 6-3, 6-4 on the hardcourts at Queensland Tennis Centre. I thought I got quite lucky, Federer said on-court. He [Millman] was playing great tennis until maybe the last couple of games. I had to fight very hard. Credit to him for pushing me to the edge. I didnt play badly, but maybe felt a bit tired at times. The first match of the season you never know quite what to expect. I am sweating like crazy. I am happy we had a good match and I got through in the end. Federer lost to Aussie favorite Lleyton Hewitt in last years all-former-No. 1 Brisbane final. His quarterfinal opponent on Friday will be another Aussie wild card, James Duckworth, while Raonic will face Aussie Sam Groth. Meanwhile, Duckworth saved two match points in order to overcome Finnish veteran and 2008 Brisbane runner-up Jarkko Nieminen 4-6, 7-6 (7-5), 6-3 and Groth outlasted Polish qualifier Lukasz Kubot 6-4, 6-7 (2-7), 7-6 (7-3). Fridays other quarters will pit second-seeded U.S. Open runner-up Kei Nishikori against Aussie Bernard Tomic and fourth-seeded 2013 Brisbane runner- up Grigor Dimitrov versus Slovak Martin Klizan. Brisbane serves as a tune-up for the Australian Open, which will begin January 19 in Melbourne.

Lance Stephenson Jersey . You can watch all the action on TSN and TSN GO beginning at 8:30pm et/5:30pm pt. Minnesota dropped the first two tests of this best-of-seven set at Chicagos United Center and was outscored by a combined 9-3 margin in those setbacks.

The 41-year-old Northern Irishman has proved a perfect fit at Liverpool since taking over from Kenny Dalglish in the summer of 2012 and steered the team to an unexpected title challenge in the Premier League last season.GREEN BAY, Wis. - The division leaders keep rolling into Lambeau Field to face the Packers. But Green Bays game Monday night against the Atlanta Falcons isnt generating quite the same buzz as the Packers victorious showdown the previous week with the New England Patriots. Watch the game live on TSN tonight starting at 8:15pm et/5:15pm pt on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, and TSN5. No talk of potential Super Bowl or NFC championship previews here, though this contest could be just as critical to each teams playoff hopes. Yes, even the Packers — the 9-3 team anointed as the NFL favourite of the month after beating the Patriots — arent guaranteed anything. Even with quarterback Aaron Rodgers playing at what Falcons coach Mike Smith described as a level that much higher than everybody else. The typically even-keeled Rodgers appreciates the compliments, but will kindly move on. I think you just have to realize that youre one game away from getting thrown in the trash, Rodgers said. So youve got to continue to stay focused on the things you can control — your preparation, your performance each week — and realize this is a what have you done for me lately league. Even the NFC North isnt a lock for Green Bay. So long as Detroit stays a game back in the division, the Lions have a chance to unseat the Packers if they can win the regular-season finale at Lambeau. Detroit beat Green Bay in Week 3. Theres an urgency that picks up, a focus, and we have to play our best football this week, and realize were in some tough races. Obviously for the division, which is our first goal, and then after that anything is a bonus, Rodgers said. Just getting to .500 would be a bonus for Atlanta, tied with New Orleans at 5-7 atop the mediocre NFC South. The Falcons, though, have won three of four after beating injury-riddled Arizona last week. Beating the Packers in December in Green Bay could push their confidence level through the Georgia Dome roof. We want to be a relevant football team in December. I think thats what everybody shoots for and sometimes being a relevant football team means having 10 wins, sometimes it means having less than that, Smith said. This week, were playing a team thats got the best record in the NFL at 9-3 and theyre playing outstanding football. Some things to watch in the teams first meeting on a Monday night since Atlantas 28-21 win on Nov. 22, 1971: ROLLING RODGERS: The star qquarterback is having an MVP-calibre year, dissecting defences with his trademark pinpoint passes and ability to extend plays. Domantas Sabonis Jersey. Rodgers has thrown an NFL record 360 passes at home without an interception, having last been picked off at Lambeau on Dec. 2, 2012. Its a big difference covering for 5 seconds and 10 to 12 seconds (against Rodgers). Receivers can run anywhere, Atlanta cornerback Desmond Trufant said. TURNING OVER: Maybe Rodgers will meet his match in the Atlanta defence, which has the leagues worst unit statistically but leads the NFC with 24 takeaways, including 14 interceptions. Nine picks have come during the recent 3-1 stretch. Turnovers are way more important to me. Its proven when you win the turnover battle you come out with the win, probably, safety William Moore said. TAKEAWAYS TIMES TWO: The only problem for the Falcons is that they are facing the team that leads the league in turnover margin at plus-15. That is partly due to Rodgers, who has 32 touchdown passes to three interceptions. But the Packers defence has been productive as well with 23 takeaways. SECONDARY LOOK: Starting cornerback Sam Shields availability for the Packers was in question at midweek because he is recovering from a concussion sustained in the Patriots game. At first glance, that could prove problematic given that Roddy White is expected back from an ankle injury at receiver for Atlanta to join Julio Jones and Harry Douglas. The Packers, though, are relatively deep in the secondary. Coach Mike McCarthy likes how backup cornerbacks Davon House and Casey Hayward have performed, while young free safeties Micah Hyde and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix are often on the field together when the Packers go with five defensive backs. FINDING CLAY: The Packers have been giving opposing offences something extra to think about since using Clay Matthews more at inside linebacker instead of solely at his traditional role rushing the passer outside. The move seems to have helped against the run, while getting more snaps for Nick Perry and Mike Neal to rush the passer opposite Julius Peppers. Smith said it gives Green Bay flexibility to find advantageous matchups in rushing the quarterback. ___ AP Sports Writer Charles Odum and Associated Press writer George Henry in Flowery Branch, Georgia contributed to this report. ___ AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Wholesale Jerseys 2018 NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NFL White Jerseys Black China NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap White NFL Jerseys Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys Camo China Jerseys Stitched Jerseys China NFL Gear Cheap Jerseys Throwback Cheap Stitched Jerseys Youth NFL Jerseys Cheap Cheap NFL Hoodies NFL Jerseys Wholesale China Jerseys Cheap Wholesale Jerseys China NFL Jerseys White Wholesale NFL Autographed Jerseys Stitched Jerseys ' ' ' |
