BASEL, Switzerland -- Roger Federer eased to victory in the first round
at his hometown Swiss Indoors event on Monday, beating Adrian Mannarino
of France 6-4, 6-2. Chris Doleman Jersey .
Federer swept the final five games against the 60th-ranked Mannarino to
win in 1 hour, 12 minutes.
Hampered by back injuries in a difficult season, Federer has won only
one title as his ranking has dropped to No. 7. He also has yet to secure
a place in the eight-man lineup at the season-ending ATP World Tour
finals in London next month.
A five-time champion at Basel, Federer is only seeded third this week
and made just 51 per cent of his first serves Monday. He needed 13
chances to break Mannarinos serve four times in the match.
The last time he played in Switzerland, Federer fell to a straight-set
loss to 55th-ranked German Daniel Brands in his opening match at the
Swiss Open in July. Federer said Sunday he is fitter and more confident
now, and broke Mannarinos serve to begin the match. Still, he
double-faulted to lose his second service game.
Settling into his rhythm, Federer broke again to lead 4-3 and converted
his first set point with a forehand winner.
Mannarino, who lost to Federer in the third round of the U.S. Open, sent
a two-handed backhand long to concede a 3-2 lead in the second set.
Federer broke serve again by hitting another forehand winner and
clinched the match with a serve that Mannarino could not return.
Earlier Monday, Lukasz Kubot of Poland beat Daniel Gimeno-Traver of
Spain 7-5 (6), 6-2, and Tobias Kamke of Germany beat Victor Hanescu of
Romania 6-4, 6-4.
Alexandr Dolgopolov of Ukraine was playing Kenny de Schepper of France
in the late match.

make sense if he had a been-there, done-that attitude when stepping onto
the sports biggest stage.Charlottesville, VA (SportsNetwork.com) -
Chalk up another impressive
defensive effort for the unbeaten Virginia Cavaliers.
Mike Tobey had 15 points and 10 rebounds, as the No. 6 ranked team
dominated
Harvard, 76-27, at John Paul Jones Arena.

Malcolm Brogdon also scored 15 for Virginia (11-0), which is off to
its best
start since the 1992-93 season.

Harvard is a lot better than they showed, Virginia coach Tony Bennett
said.
Mike Tobey got us off to great start offensively, and defensively
we were
ready. We prepared well this week in practice and had great
respect for
Harvard, but you could see they were sluggish and had one of their
poorer
games.

The Cavaliers entered the day ranked second in the nation in scoring
defense
(47.9 ppg), behind only Kentucky (47.7 ppg). Virginia has held
opponents under
70 points in a nation-leading 17 consecutive contests. It was also the
second
time this season the Cavaliers held an opponent under 30 points.
They beat
Rutgers, 45-26, on Nov. 29.

Corbin Miller scored eight for Harvard (7-2), which shot 16 percent
(8-of-50)
from the field in its first game since a 12-day layoff for final
exams. The
Crimson had a six-game winning streak snapped.

Harvard went 1-of-20 from the floor in the first half. That ties
an NCAA
record with Northern Illinois for fewest field goals in a half. The
Huskies
were 1-of-31 against Eastern Michigan on Jan. 26, 2013.

Wesley Saunders, who came into the game at an impressive 20.1 ppg to
pace the
Ivy League, was held to four on 0-for-7 shooting.

We were hopeful that we could break through and come away from a
few
possessions without hanging our head, Harvard coach Tommy Amaker
said.
Sometimes, its hard to get that energy on the other end when you
start to
sulk and hang your head a little bit. Thats normal human nature,
especially
when our best offensive player had a very tough afternoon.

The Cavaliers opened a 7-0 lead, and Tobey accountedd for UVAs
first nine
points. Phil Loadholt Vikings Jersey. The Crimson had a difficult time getting off clean looks at the basket, and had a stretch of nearly 20 minutes without a field goal.

Zena Edosomwans layup with 16:31 remaining put Harvard on the board, but the
Crimson didnt hit another shot the rest of the half and faced a 39-8 deficit
at the break.

Tobey led the way by making all six of his field-goal attempts and compiled
all of his points by the break. Virginia, which went 16-of-26 from the floor
in the first 20 minutes, scored 14 in a row for a 30-4 cushion. Brogdons
jumper capped the burst.

Harvards first-half performance was being compared to UCLAs 3-of-37 effort
in the opening 20 minutes of an 83-44 loss to No. 1 Kentucky on Saturday. The
Bruins were behind 41-7 at the break in that contest.

The eight points in a half ties the fewest by an opponent in the history of
John Paul Jones Arena, which opened in time for the 2006-07 season.

Harvards second field goal didnt come until 16:38 left in the game, when
Steve Moundou-Missi converted a layup and was fouled by Justin Anderson. That
ended a stretch of 20 straight misses. Moundou-Missi made the free throw for a
45-12 margin.

The Cavaliers widened the gap to 56-15 with 12:09 left following a Marial
Shayok layup.

Defensively, this has to be our standard now, Tobey said. We did a great
job executing our defensive game plan. Harvard is a great team, preseason
top-25 and very talented, but I think we did a good job holding them.
