MOSCOW -- Dominika Cibulkova advanced to her second straight semifinal Friday, rallying to upset top-seeded Vera Zvonareva of Russia 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 in the quarter-finals of the Kremlin Cup. In later quarter-finals, Kaia Kanepi upset sixth-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-1, 6-2 to set up a semifinal clash with Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic, who ousted another Russian, Vera Dushevina, 6-4, 6-4. Earlier, Marion Bartoli of France withdrew from the quarter-finals with an illness, handing Agnieszka Radwanska a spot in the season-ending WTA finals. In the mens quarter-finals, defending champion Viktor Troicki of Serbia rallied from 4-love down in the third set and prevailed in a tiebreaker to eliminate Alex Bogomolov Jr. of the United States 7-6 (6), 6-7 (1), 7-6 (1), while three-time winner here Nikolay Davydenko advanced to the semifinals with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Michael Berrer of Germany. Kanepi won four consecutive games to go a set up in the match. In the second set, the 43rd-ranked Estonian endured eight deuces on her serve in the sixth game, which lasted for 12 minutes. She then fought off five break points and went on to win. "I fought my best today, but I didnt attack her," said Kuznetsova. "This is not my game and I understood it but couldnt change it." Kanepi, who is making her debut at the event, agreed with the two-time Grand Slam winner. "Normally a player can play attacking tennis when the other allows him," Kanepi said. Safarova, at No. 8 the only seeded player to survive into the semis in the womens draw, broke Dushevina decisively in the third game of the second set. Cibulkova, who was runner-up in Linz, Austria, last week, played with her right leg bandaged after she aggravated a knee injury in the previous match. Both players took medical timeouts in the third set -- Zvonareva to treat her shoulder and Cibulkova to have her leg massaged and retaped. The 20th-ranked Slovak rallied from 5-3 down in the second set to break the fifth-ranked Zvonareva in the 10th game and stay in the match. Cibulkova said she lost the first set because she was not aggressive enough on her second serve. "In the second set I just said, OK, come on, you have to play 100 per cent and also to go for second serve. And you have nothing to lose. And it just paid off," Cibulkova said. Serving in the tenth game of the third set, the Russian raced to 40-love up but could not finish and finally returned wide and long to lose the game and the match. "You cannot go 50-50, you should decide at the right time," Zvonareva said. "Maybe I should have retired, because Im to play next week in Istanbul and then be back here for the Fed Cup." Zvonareva said that she had played a good match but because of the pain in her shoulder caused by an old injury and concerns about her upcoming matches she could maintain concentration. The third-seeded Bartoli, who has not dropped a set in six matches, was scheduled to play Elena Vesnina of Russia in the first quarter-final but pulled out because of a viral illness. "I think just my whole body needed a break," Bartoli said. "I really was trying till the end but yesterday during my match I already felt not very good. "I still have a bit of energy left, so it was enough (to play), but early this morning I had so much pain in my whole body, on my neck -- I couldnt even warm up," she said. Vesnina said it was the first time she had advanced by a walkover at this stage of a tournament. "Its really sad when you are not feeling good, not very healthy," Vesnina said. "I saw her match yesterday, and she was playing really well." The 64th-ranked Russian will play Cibulkova in the semifinals. Bartoli won her seventh career title in Osaka last weekend and needed to win the title in Moscow to secure the last open spot for next weeks WTA Championships in Istanbul. With Bartolis withdrawal, Radwanska qualifies directly for the event for the first time, despite losing in the second round in Moscow. She was a substitute in 2008 and 2009. Bartoli will travel to Istanbul and will be the first alternate. In early mens quarter-finals, the 133rd-ranked Jeremy Chardy of France landed 11 aces to beat Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany 6-4, 6-3 and make it to the semifinals for the first time since winning his maiden title in Stuttgart, Germany in July 2009.

Nike Juvenate Homme .com) - The simple fact is that regardless of record, one team from the NFC South is going to get into the playoffs.CLEVELAND -- Jason Giambis 19th season didnt go as planned. Hes not sure there will be a 20th. As the Indians closed 2014 short of the playoffs, Giambi said Sunday he hasnt decided whether hell try to extend a major league playing career that began with Oakland in 1995. Ive been playing this game since I was five years old, the 43-year-old said before the Indians finished a three-game series with Tampa Bay. Thats your whole life. If you look at it, its 40 years of doing the same thing. Its been unbelievable. Its been fun. But, I still havent made a decision about what Im going to do yet. Who knows? Maybe somebodys looking for a broken down 44-year-old to kind of take a few extra hacks. Giambi didnt contribute much on the field this season. He broke a rib during spring training and began the year on the disabled list. He was also on the DL with a strained calf and sore left knee. Entering Sundays game, he was batting just .133 with two homers and five RBIs in 60 at-bats. However, Giambis influence off the field couldnt be quantified. The Indians re-signed him to a minor league contract after last season, knowing he would be a positive influence on young players throughout their organization. Giambi did just that as a role model, mentor and leader. He also graciously gave up his NNo.dddddddddddd. 25 to Jim Thome, when the former Indians slugger wanted to retire with Cleveland. Giambi went to back No. 72, the number he wore when he first went to camp with the Athletics. Indians manager Terry Francona said everyone -- players, coaches and even a manager who has won two World Series titles -- learned from Giambi. This guy brings so much and hes so special to be around that you savour it and take what you can because he has a lot of offer, Francona said. With 440 career homers, Giambi is 41st on the career list. Hes not sure if that number will grow, and doesnt know what uniform hell wear next -- or if hell put one on at all. He was a finalist for Colorados managerial job in 2012 and Francona knows Giambi is going to do whatever he wants to do. For now, Giambi is only making one off-season commitment. Ill go home and enjoy my family, he said. Thats the biggest thing Ive got on my plate right now, just go home and enjoy every minute of that. And then Ill worry about what the universe has got in store for me next. I have not made one decision. Theres some teams Im sure that have kind of been asking my agent what Im going to do, but I dont even want to know who it is. I dont care right now. I just want to go home and enjoy my kids and have fun. wholesale jerseys authentic wholesale jerseys store cheap jerseys Cheap Jerseys china wholesale jerseys ' ' ' |
