Racket-smashing Djokovic reaches Cincinnati semifinals vs Cilic

He beat defending champion Grigor Dimitrov a few hours earlier, completing a match suspended overnight because of rain and returned a few hours later to play a rested opponent.“Quite a roller coaster, to be honest,” he said.FEATURED STORIESSPORTSGinebra beats Meralco again to capture PBA Governors’ Cup titleSPORTSJapeth Aguilar wins 1st PBA Finals MVP award for GinebraSPORTSTim Cone still willing to coach Gilas but admits decision won’t be ‘simple yes or no’Djokovic has reached the finals in Cincinnati five times and lost every time.

Today I tried to really focus on just the one match, not thinking that there is possibly going to be two.”On the women’s side, the top-ranked Halep beat Ashleigh Barty 7-5, 6-4 early Friday afternoon to reach the quarterfinals, then returned and knocked off Lesia Tsurenko 6-4, 6-1, raising both arms in triumph at the end of her long day featuring two full matches.Halep has faced the most challenges from the rain, with one match suspended overnight Wednesday and then her third-round match held over for a day as well.“I hope it’s not going to happen again,” Halep said. “I will not complain, but it was a tough day.”Barty, who lost to Halep in last week’s Rogers Cup semifinals in Montreal, committed 32 unforced errors to Halep’s 17. Halep is seeking her first Cincinnati championship after losing in the finals last year and 2015.In a match between rested players, Petra Kvitova beat Elise Mertens 7-5, 5-7, 6-3 to reach the semifinals.Sports Related Videospowered by AdSparcRead Next Lights inside SMX hall flicker as Duterte rants vs Ayala, Pangilinan anew ‘High crimes and misdemeanors’: Trump impeachment trial begins MASON, OH – AUGUST 17: Novak Djokovic of Serbia gestures after breaking Milos Roanic of Canada in the third set during the Western & Southern Open at Lindner Family Tennis Center on August 17, 2018 in Mason, Ohio.

Dear Editor,It was saddening to hear of GuySuCo’s decision to end the operations at LBI Estate. From what I understand a number of departments including the Field Workshop would be closed and its tasks discharged from the workshop at Enmore Estate.I do not think this is a wise move by GuySuCo. Given the distance between Enmore and LBI it would be both time-consuming and costly for mechanics to travel to repair machines and other equipment in the LBI cultivation.Time is important especially when tillage operations are being carried out. I recall when the Diamond cultivation was in existence, GuySuCo maintained a workshop at that location for such occasions.I also understand that the Enmore workshop is too small and cannot accommodate the total machine fleet from both LBI and Enmore. This will undoubtedly cause major problems.What is the real reason for GuySuCo’s hasty decision to close the LBI operations?Yours sincerely,Fredrick Yuvraj

Arsenal don’t do many transfer deadline day deals, but in 2011 Arsene Wenger was a very busy man indeed.Three years ago Yossi Benayoun, Chelsea’s Israeli attacker, moved on a season-long loan, joining the Gunners as part of an uncharacteristic last minute trolley dash that also saw Andre Santos, Per Mertesacker and Mikel Arteta arrive.If snapping up four players was a surprise, the move for Benayoun was perhaps the most unexpected of all, but his experience proved useful and he should probably be judged a hit during his loan stint.The Israel international waited patiently for his chance in red and white and is mostly fondly remembered for scoring a late winner at Villa in a 2-1 victory that sealed three vital points.“Yossi has had to wait for his moment but he has been 100 per cent professional and got us three very important points. He works hard and shows fantastic attitude,” Wenger said following the win at Villa Park.The former Liverpool star was arguably more impressive with an excellent display against Tottenham in a crucial 5-2 win in February 2012, where he was a constant menace to the opposition defence in a victory that helped the Gunners fend off their great rivals’ challenge for Champions League qualification.After six goals in 25 games in all competitions, Benayoun returned to Chelsea, before bing loaned to West Ham for the 2012/13 season. He now plies his trade at Maccabi Haifa in his homeland. Yossi Benayoun spent the 2011/12 season on loan at Arsenal from Chelsea 1
1 Philippe Coutinho’s wonder strike steered Liverpool to victory against Southampton and to within two points of the Premier League top-four.Raheem Sterling netted midway through the second half to ensure the Reds recorded a fifth win in six matches to maintain their pursuit of Champions League football next season.However, Saints will feel aggrieved after a handful of penalty appeals were waved away by referee Kevin Friend, though the hosts did look out of sorts in an uninspiring match at St Mary’s.Boos rang around the stadium from the start, not for the unwelcomed return of Adam Lallana, but when Filip Djuricic was bundled over inside the box by Emre Can after Steven Davis’ sweeping pass caught Liverpool’s back-three napping.Their claims were waved away, though, and St Mary’s soon turned silent when Coutinho curled the ball into the top corner on three minutes.The Brazilian collected possession from Lazar Markovic with plenty of time and space, before sending a dipping 30-yard effort beyond the outstretched Fraser Forster for a goal-of-the-season contender.Saints responded with another penalty appeal two minutes later as Djuricic was again impeded by a clumsy challenge, this time from Joe Allen, and as the ball bobbled out Eljero Elia had a strike diverted wide by Dejan Lovren’s instinctive block.A slick breakaway from the visitors concluded in their first penalty claim when Sterling was tripped by Jose Fonte’s trailing leg, but the Saints skipper made enough contact with the ball to detract interest from the referee.More appeals erupted from the home faithful when Simon Mignolet intercepted a hopeful punt with an arm outside of the area to deny Elia, before the ball bounced off Lovren’s arm in a goalmouth scramble.The unconvincing Belgian goalkeeper rectified some tame punching with a couple of excellent stops to keep the hosts at bay.Neither side was at their fluid best, as the high-pressure approach adopted by both managers meant building attacks from deep was restricted.And it took until the hour mark for the first meaningful chance of the second half as substitute Sadio Mane latched onto Elia’s cross with a neat swivel and shot, but Martin Skrtel ensured the attempt would not trouble Mignolet.The introduction of Daniel Sturridge added more impetus to Brendan Rodgers’ frontline and the 25-year-old threatened to double Liverpool’s tally with a mazy run deep into the Southampton area, until Fonte intervened with a precise sliding tackle.But the away side did manage a second goal on 73 minutes when Sterling reacted quickest to steer the ball past Forster.The Reds hounded the hosts into a mistake as Alberto Moreno pounced on the left and his low cross caused confusion among the Saints ranks as Matthew Targett failed to clear his lines, with the England international on hand to net his sixth league goal of the campaign.Saints were restricted to set-piece efforts while, unbelievably, Liverpool only forced a first save from Forster when Sturridge tried his luck from the left.The defeat means Southampton missed the chance to move into third spot, while momentum is gathering speed for the Merseysiders who welcome Manchester City to Anfield next week.

Zoo started the game on a wrong note with Ochieng and Kasuti giving the soldiers a two goal advantage in the first ten minutes.Zoo’s attacking three of Mike Madoya, Geoffrey Gichana and Danson Chetambe combined well but couldn’t break through the solid defence of the Ulinzi Stars.Their efforts were rewarded midway through the half hour mark with Kipkurui pulling one back when he headed home from a Cylus Shitote header.Zoo’s all attack minded approach as the game progressed exposed their defence, this time Waweru making no mistake, sending his stinger to the top right corner one minute to the break to triple the soldiers lead.It was no surprise when Zoo started the half on the upper hand with some crisp passes going ahead to score a second through Madoya.-Additional reporting from Soka-0Shares0000(Visited 1 times, 1 visits today)

Re “‘Son of Red Car’ makes long-awaited return to Valley” (Oct. 30): Those Red Cars were my main transportation for over two years to and from North Hollywood High School. I got on board at Vineland and Moorpark, and got off on Colfax. Remember the Friday nights in Hollywood, going to Los Angeles for a downtown shopping experience on the Red Cars? I rode the Red Cars down to Long Beach, and with the big red ones, it felt like you were flying along the countryside. And then due to the infinite wisdom of our leaders and the coercion of big oil, big auto manufacturers and tire manufacturers, the Red Cars began to disappear. But look what has happened: Now those same routes of big red are being used on so-called new trains, subways and buses. John Adams Camarillo Pumpkin to turkey We were always curious about those accordion-clad buses lumbering about Warner Center. The pumpkin buses seem to be turning into turkeys. As I understand it, the Orange Line will take 42 minutes (on a good day) to the Metro, which will then take another 20 minutes or so to L.A. I am at the 5-110 freeway ramp in 40 minutes, so where’s the incentive for me to use the Orange Line? What about a monorail along the 118 to the 101? Using old rights of way does not mean it is the right way to install mass transit in the West Valley. Leigh Datzker Woodland Hills Orange Line whiners Stop whining about the Orange Line. Has anybody who relies on bus service complained yet? It seems only car owners do. Some suggestions for everybody’s safety: Turn off cell phones, eat/drink at home or in a restaurant, put on makeup at home; pay attention to other traffic, don’t run every red light that comes your way, and keep to the speed limit. It’s a stretch, I know. Maybe then we won’t have to shell out more money for safety measures to keep incompetent drivers out of our/harm’s way. Stalling construction last year cost enough. Christina Sjoblom West Hills Wrong country Re “MTA launches the busway with great hoopla; More than 30,000 riders on Day One” (Oct. 30): Can you tell me what Aztec dancers represent? Nowhere in U.S. history is there any record of Aztecs in our country. Aztecs were a civilization of Mexico. Why honor them on the Orange bus line? Barbara Mark Valencia Orange appeal I enjoyed taking a ride on the recently opened Orange Line. I think it’s a great way of getting across town. I believe many people will take advantage of it. There were a lot of positive comments from other passengers. Three very well-placed stops are Pierce and Valley colleges and the thriving Warner Center. It’s a plus to the Valley. I’m pleased with it, “orange” you? Pamela Taguinot Woodland Hills Good first step Re “Cheney aide indicted” (Oct. 29): This should be a good step toward finally exposing this group who operated out of the office of Dick Cheney to smear and diminish the critics of the Bush claims of nuclear weapons in Iraq to justify going to war. It is a corruption of some magnitude and an assault against our country to lie to get us into an unnecessary, shameful war. Sharon R. Fox West Hills Seek permission It is easier to seek forgiveness than permission. The union whiners complain Proposition 75 is a big-business, special-interest, unnecessary boondoggle, which the taxpayers will have to pay for. How? I would rather have a union to which I belong seek my permission to make political contributions than be allowed to make a donation to a political cause I do not agree with. Make unions seek permission of their members. Vote yes on Proposition 75. Craig Crippen West Hills
