MELBOURNE, Australia - U.
http://www.nfljetsofficialauthentic.com/lawrence-thomas-jersey/ .S. Open runner-up Kei Nishikori was circumspect about his quarterfinal loss at the Australian Open on Wednesday, saying theres nothing wrong with getting to the final eight of any Grand Slam tournament.Hes done it three times now — two of them at Melbourne Park — but he realizes there is plenty of room for improvement.Nishikori had few answers for Stan Wawrinkas shot-making and excellent serving in a 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (6) loss to the defending champion.At the U.S. Open last year, Nishikori beat Wawrinka in the quarterfinal in five sets before beating Novak Djokovic in the semis to reach his first Grand Slam final. He lost to Croatias Marin Cilic.It wasnt really a bad week, Nishikori said of the past 10 days in Melbourne. Its not easy getting to a quarterfinal at Grand Slams. But I have to keep doing this ... playing tough all the time, playing a lot of matches, especially at Grand Slams.Nishikori said after two relatively easy set wins for Wawrinka, he felt more comfortable in the third set as he challenged the Swiss player more.I could be a little more aggressive than the first and second set, Nishikori said. I was mixing up serve and volleys. My serve was much better than first couple sets because I was making more first serves.In the tiebreaker, Wawrinka looked to be cruising but the Japanese player saved match point after match point with a combination of great shots and errors by Wawrinka.Nishikori made the biggest error at the wrong time, however, attempting a drop shot from the back of the court that bundled into the net. That set up another match point for Wawrinka, which he converted with an ace, his 20th of the match.Yeah, the tiebreaker was really close, Nishikori said. If I could get that one (the attempted drop shot), it might change the whole thing. But he was serving really well until end of the set, so I think I have to give him credit.Nishikori said he had spoken to his coach, former French Open champion Michael Chang, right after the match on ways to improve his game, and how Chang might continue to help him.Ive been working with him for one year now, Nishikori said. I see a lot of improvement, not just tennis, outside, too. Mentally I get more stronger. I think physically Im little more fit than before. So Im really happy right now.

http://www.nfljetsofficialauthentic.com/bilal-powell-jersey/ . -- Shanshan Feng was alone in her opinion about the pin positions in the Kraft Nabisco Championship.Tiger Woods is back in action this week at his Hero World Challenge, a 16-player event that moved to Floridas Isleworth G&CC for one year before taking up residence in the Bahamas starting in 2015 for three years. A day before teeing off, he met with the media for a conference that started with the official announcement of his new sponsor, Hero Motor Corp., of India and quickly moved into his status after a year of injuries and poor play. This marks the first time since he missed the cut at the PGA Championship in August that the 14-time major champion will be teeing it up. If you remember, the PGA marked Woods first event post-microdiscectomy event and it didnt end well. Woods hurt his back and then missed the cut. But now, after a much-needed rehab period, the 14-time major champion, looking relaxed and slimmed down, declared himself healthy and ready to go, albeit with a bit of competitive rust. It feels fantastic, Woods said of his back. Ive done the proper rehab. Ive gotten stronger. Ive gotten more explosive. Ive gotten faster. I just now need to hit more balls, but the body is good. Its nice to have - I dont have the sharp pain like I used to at the beginning of the year. I dont have that anymore. I still have some aches and pains, just like anybody else who is my age and older. Aside from those day-to-day aches and pains, this will mark the first time in a long while that well see Woods on the golf course without some sort of ailment. No sore back. No busted knee. No tender Achilles. No aching elbows. For much of the past decade, hes been a walking wreck and yet hes still managed to play better than just about anyone else. While last year was a write-off, his worst as a pro, just two years ago he won five times. This week, hell debut the work hes been doing with new swing consultant (dont call him a coach) Chris Como. Its designed to be a bit of back too the future, drawing on his greatest hits of the past.
http://www.nfljetsofficialauthentic.com/sheldon-richardson-jersey/. It is new, but its old, Woods said. When I say that because I havent done it in a very long time. We looked at a lot of video from when I was a junior, in junior and amateur golf, way before - even when I came out there and had some really nice years where I hit the ball really well. We went back to some of those old videos and really looked at it. The toughest part of the new swing may have actually been trying to find a VHS player to view some of the old tapes. Thankfully, Woods mother, Tida, was still a generation or two behind in her electronics. While he was obviously excited with his new work, Woods also addressed the relationship with his last coach, Sean Foley, which ended not long after Tigers season did. After four years and a slew of wins - although no majors - Woods used his down time to reflect on his Canadian coach. I think that physically, I just wasnt able to do some of the things that we wanted to do in the golf swing, admitted Woods, who turns 39 on Dec. 30. Thats one of the neat things about our transition out of a working relationship is that we are still very good friends and we still needle each other quite a bit on texting. So that part has been fantastic but on a professional level, I think I needed to go a different direction. Thats far different than Woods previous coach, Hank Haney whose relationship disintegrated in no small part due to the tell-all book the teacher penned. Its unlikely well get a good read on just where Woods is with his game in this limited-field event. Win or lose, this is more hit-and-giggle than grind-it-out. Hell play with a new bag of Nike clubs and a new Nike ball as well, adding to the difficulty in getting a solid read with just four rounds. But Tiger has returned and with that comes a lot of attention on just what hell do next.
