Mason Cole Jersey .The 42-year-old Nestor, from Toronto, was broken three times in the match, which lasted just 62 minutes and played under the closed roof of the Rod Laver arena due to rain.The Canadians third-seeded side went down to defeat with 18 winners and 16 unforced errors, losing serve five times while breaking on three occasions.They played better for sure. Obviously there were things we could have done a little bit better. But they were the better team, said Nestor. Even when I thought I was serving OK, they were still making a lot of balls. They played well.I played a bit was over-aggressive on second serve. The court was playing a little bit different than what weve been used to... It was kicking more when we were playing outside. Today it was more of a dead bounce.Nestor called his overall Open performance (he and Rohan Bopanna lost in the mens doubles second round) as not ideal.We played well in Sydney (won the title) and had a little bit of a letdown here. Its nice to win some matches in mixed. It was not result that we wanted but it was OK overall.All four players on the court were former grand slam champions, with Hingis winning her second major in mixed doubles and 16th overall in a career which began in 1995 as a teenager. The Swiss had not won a grand slam title since playing Australia in 2006 in the event.Nestor, who owns four mixed doubles titles and won the Melbourne title in 2011 and 2007. He claimed Wimbledon with Mladenivoc two years ago.He and Russian Elena Lkihovtseva finished runners-up in 2006 in Australia to a team of Hingis and another Indian, Paes former doubles partner Mahesh Bhupathi.Nestor got off to a poor start, broken to love in the second game of the match before his team broke Paes in the fifth game. Hingis and Paes won the set after 29 minutes as Nestor double-faulted on a set point.In the second, Nestor made amends as he held serve in the second game only to lose it again to hand over a 4-2 lead.But Hingis and Mldenovic then traded breaks, with the Swiss-Indian seventh seed emerging with a 5-3 lead. A return long from Mladenovic off a Hingis return at her feet ended the contest on a first match point. Justin Pugh Jersey . Heck, we might just miss the BCS. Maybe? It sort of worked out this season. Top-ranked Florida State (13-0) was the only team to get through the regular season unbeaten, and the Seminoles did it in dominating fashion. Benson Mayowa Jersey . Or at least on everyone elses expectations. Costa Rica followed up its surprise win over Uruguay with another World Cup stunner on Friday, beating four-time champion Italy 1-0 to secure a spot in the next round and eliminate England in the process. http://www.azcardinalsfanspro.com/Black-Brice-Butler-Cardinals-Jersey.html?cat=936 .com) - The 12th-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes continue a four-game homestand at Value City Arena on Wednesday night when they face off against the High Point Panthers in a non-conference matchup.REGINA -- It didnt take much time for Brett Swain to feel comfortable in a Saskatchewan Roughriders jersey -- about 15 minutes, in fact. The rookie slotback hauled in two touchdowns Saturday to help lead the defending Grey Cup champs to a 21-17 victory over the Ottawa Redblacks in a CFL pre-season contest at Mosaic Stadium. "I just had no idea what I was about to get myself into," Swain said. "The possessions and being on and off the field and not being able to make adjustments and doing everything on the run a I think I got used to all of that by the second quarter." Thats when veteran quarterback Darian Durant entered the game. Durant orchestrated a 91-yard scoring drive with his first possession, one that was capped with an 18-yard touchdown pass to Swain to give the Riders a 14-10 lead. Swains second touchdown of the game came on the Riders second offensive possession of the second half. Rookie quarterback Adam Weber found Swain for a four-yard touchdown strike, one that swelled Saskatchewans lead to 21-10. "I think (Swain) looked great," Durant said. "He has had a great camp and he has done a good job of learning the system and getting on the same page with the quarterbacks. I think hes going to have a role with us and I look forward to working more with him moving forward." With the departure of all-star slotback Weston Dressler to the NFLs Kansas City Chiefs and the retirement of the CFLs all-time leading receiver Geroy Simon, the Roughriders have a couple of holes to fill within their receiving corps. Swains debut with the Green and White should earn him more playing time in Saskatchewans second exhiibition contest on Friday against the visiting Edmonton Eskimos. Mason Cole Cardinals Jersey. "I had a couple balls come my way and I made the most of them," said the six-foot, 200-pound Swain. "It was a slow start for me a still getting acclimated to the game, but I feel a lot more comfortable and I gained a lot of confidence today. Im excited to come in here and watch the game film and learn where I can improve." The Redblacks, on the other hand, have more than just a couple of roster vacancies. "You can see that (the Roughriders) are definitely in a rhythm and theyre communicating well and are all on the same page," said Ottawa quarterback Henry Burris, who was 5-for-6 passing for 40 yards in limited time. "Thats where were trying to get to. We have a lot of guys competing for jobs. "Other teams are just trying to plug a few holes. Were trying to put the whole kit and caboodle together here. We have a good idea of what we have, but we need to all be singing from the same sheet of music." Chevon Walker scored the Redblacks first touchdown, a one-yard plunge, which was set up thanks to Jamill Smiths 77-yard punt return to Saskatchewans two-yard line. Justin Palardy then booted a 44-yard field goal and the expansion Redblacks owned a 10-0 lead midway through the first quarter. Thomas Demarco played under centre for much of the second half for Ottawa and completed 4-of-7 pass attempts for 97 yards. His lone touchdown strike came on a 60-yard pass-and-run with receiver Travon Patterson in the third quarter. The Redblacks will visit the Montreal Alouettes on Friday, their second and final exhibition game.
