DELRAY BEACH, Fla. John Ross Womens Jersey . -- John Isner held off an upset bid by Dudi Sela of Israel on Thursday night to advance to the quarterfinals of the Delray Beach Open after No. 3 seed Kei Nishikori of Japan exited the tournament because of a left hip injury. The second-seeded Isner squandered four match points in the third set after leading 4-1, but the 6-foot-10 American rallied from a 5-2 deficit to prevail in the tiebreaker for a 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (5) victory that earned him a spot in the quarterfinals for the third consecutive year. "More times than not, when Im up 4-1, I close it out," said Isner, who is 5-0 in his three-set matches this season but is playing in his first tournament since exiting the Australian Open with an ankle injury last month. "It definitely didnt need to go to 5-5 when I was up 4-1. I put a lot of stress on myself when I do that." The world No. 13 will face American qualifier Rhyne Williams on Friday night. Williams ousted wild-card Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus 6-7 (7), 6-4, 6-2 in Thursdays nightcap to reach his second ATP quarterfinal. Nishikoris bid to win his second consecutive ATP title came to an abrupt halt Thursday afternoon when the top-ranked Asian was forced to retire during the first set of his second-round match because of a left hip flexor injury. Nishikori was trailing Teymuraz Gabashvili of Russia 4-2 when he decided to stop the match. He said that he experienced discomfort for the first time during his first-round win Tuesday in which he stretched his win-loss record this season to 12-2. "I tried to play, but if youre not 100 per cent, its tough," said Nishikori, who is ranked No. 15 in the world and was coming off a win in Memphis last week. "I couldnt do anything today. Its going to take some time to recover. Its shocking this happened, especially since Ive been playing well." Gabashvili advanced to the quarterfinals on Friday and will face No. 7 seed Marin Cilic of Croatia, who defeated American wild-card Ryan Harrison 6-3, 6-4. Samuel Groth and Max Mirnyi advanced to the doubles semifinals with a 7-6 (5), 6-4 win against Americans Sekou Bangoura and Vahid Mirzadeh. Harrison and fellow American Jack Sock filled out the final spot in the doubles semifinals with a 6-4, 7-5 win against Santiago Gonzalez and Scott Lipsky. John Ross Jersey .

THE MICHAEL JORDAN FLU GAME First this famous basketball moment.

I kind of got a taste of being able to pick a suit with the draft lottery, I went with the bow tie.TORONTO -- On the first day of training camp in his new job as a Toronto Maple Leafs assistant coach, Steve Spott was trying to put an off-season disagreement with Phil Kessel behind him. After the Toronto Star reported Kessel telling Spott he wouldnt follow the teams new plan on how to break out of its defensive zone -- and Spott relaying that at a coaches clinic over the summer -- the dispute became one of the hottest topics on the day players reported for physicals. While Kessel denied such a conversation even took place, Spott only expressed regret that the star winger had to deal with questions about the situation. "Its our job as assistant coaches to get to know what these guys want to do and areas they think we can improve on," Spott said Thursday at the teams practice facility. "Phil and I talked about a number of things with regard to power play and where he wants to be. But those are things, thats my job. "To think we dont have conversations about golf and some simple things about the power play, thats what were paid to do. At the same time, its a very light-hearted conversation that I had some fun with in a coaches clinic." The Star quoted three anonymous minor-league coaches who attended that clinic and re-told what Spott said. Spott, promoted to join Randy Carlyles staff after being head coach of the AHLs Toronto Marlies, didnt refute the report. "I think we had a very general conversation that took place, talking about his drive, and also talking about different things on the ice, and thats part of my job," he said. "Get to know these guys, things they like to do on the ice, things that they think we can improve on, and just getting to know them." Kessel said he didnt read the article but insisted the conversation in question didnt happen. "Ive obviously talked to Spotter a couple times, but its not about that," Kessel said. "Its more about golf and stuff. I dont really talk about hockey in the summer, to be honest, if you really want to know the truth." Kessel was all smiles as he talked about the 11-foot, 450-pound shark he and teammate Tyler Bozak caught while in Florida and appeared to be in a jovial mood at the beginning of training camp.

When Kessel got serious about coaching techniques, he said he believed deviating from team structure was "how you lose games." But he added that he doesnt get any input. "I have opinions, but I have nothing to do with how this team is run, coached or any of the systems, no matter what you guys think," Kessel said. General manager Dave Nonis said the disagreement was "not an issue in the dressing room at all." Carlyle sought to emphasize Spotts "tongue-in-cheek" tenor but move on from the entire discussion. Carlyle, however, conceded that Kessel gets coached in a different way than other players. "I think there is a double-standard in sports that talented people have to be given a bit more of a rope," Carlyle said. "Talented people have to have some freedom to take their artistic values and go paint the picture. He is that type of player. Hes a very talented player." Kessel, who last season matched a career high with 37 goals to finish fifth in the NHL in that category, agreed. "I think Randy lets me get away with stuff that other guys might not get away with," he said. "Obviously I play different than someone else on the team. I think me and Randy have a pretty good relationship in that, and we get along real well in that sense." When it comes to what Carlyle likes to refer to as the "white noise" around the Leafs in hockey-mad Toronto, Kessel passed up an opportunity to say extra scrutiny bothered him. In the first season of a US$64-million, eight-year contract, the 26-year-old said theres nowhere hed rather play. For Spott, who previously coached the OHLs Kitchener Rangers before the Marlies, this was a "Welcome to the Leafs" moment. "People had asked me earlier what I thought the biggest adjustment would be going from the head coach of the Toronto Marlies to an assistant coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs," he said. "I just found that out real quick." Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' ' |
