INDIAN WELLS, Calif.
Jaromir
Jagr Rangers Jersey Authentic . -- Milos Raonic and Aleksandra Wozniak
continued successful injury comebacks as each advanced into the fourth round of
the BNP Paribas Open on Monday to next face reigning Grand Slam champions.
Tenth-seeded Raonic, playing for the first time in more than a month after
suffering ankle ligament damage, fired a modest 10 aces in a 6-4, 6-3 defeat of
Colombian Alejandro Falla with a break per set providing the winning margin. "Im
playing well this week, better with each match," said the 11th-ranked Thornhill,
Ont., native. "Im proud to be back on court again. Im happy to be back and
really happy to be playing so well, so quickly." Raonic lined up a match against
Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, who struggled to beat Czech Jiri Vesely 6-7 (2),
6-4, 6-4. Raonic owns a 2-1 lead in that series, winning their last in a 2012
Tokyo semifinal. "I have got to go out there and play well, thats the main thing
to focus on," said Raonic. "I have to really take care of my serve, and try to
sort of make the most of the situations as they occur. "Andys in a situation
where he didnt play for a big chunk of time (back surgery) and Im in mine. I
have to really buckle down and focus on myself and make sure I do my things
well, and then change a few things that I may need to facing him." Wozniak is
making quick progress after a shoulder injury with a 6-1, 6-7 (3-7), 6-0 defeat
of Russias Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. The Blainville, Que., native set herself up
for a huge test in the next round. She will face world No. 2, top seed and
Australian Open champion Li Na after the two-time Grand Slam winner beat Czech
Karolina Pliskova 6-3, 6-4. This event marks the first time since late 2012,
when her shoulder problems began, that the No. 241-ranked Wozniak has gone past
the second round at a WTA-level tournament. Wozniak was pleased to advance after
fighting and losing a second-set tiebreak but dominating in the final set to
sweep to victory. "I"ve had a tough year and a half with my shoulder," she said.
"It was a good match for me today. Russians are always tough, I had to being my
A game today." Wozniak claimed victory in just under two hours, committing 10
double-faults in the match but breaking on nine of 13 chances. Wozniak credited
her French coach Nathalie Tauziat with helping her to the victory. "She gave me
encouragement and a boost for the third set," Wozniak said. "I was playing a
little too far back on the court in the second. My balls were not as deep as in
the first. "In the third, I tried to step up more, take the ball early. I didnt
want to let her get back into it like I did in the second set." Wozniak, who
will move into the 180s on ranking according to WTA estimates, is pleased with
her comeback, which has bloomed this week in the desert. "Its really good, Im
happy, Im progressing with every match, step by step," she said. "Im finding
that aggressive way I used to play. It gives me confidence to start finding my
game like before." Wozniak will next play Li for the fourth time, standing 1-2
in the series. "Its a privilege to play her," Wozniak said. "Ill have to play
the way I know I can, like Ive played this week. She loves to dictate from the
first ball. Ill stay on her and try to have a good match. "I wont be any more
nervous than usual. I know how to handle these situations because Ive been in
them before. It will be important to start from the first point and stay with
her in the rallies."

goaltender Carey Price said Saturday the "lower body" injury he suffered in the
NHL Eastern Conference final wont need surgery. Prices playoffs ended in the
second period of the series opener after New York Rangers forward Chris Krieder
crashed into him while on a breakaway. He would only call it a lower body
injury, although he was wearing a brace on his right knee in the days after the
incident. "Over time its going to get back to normal," he said. "I actually got
really lucky, it could have been a lot worse than it was." Price lay on the ice
for a moment after the collision early in the second period of New Yorks 7-2
victory, but finished the period. He was substituted by back-up Peter Budaj for
the third. No penalty was called on the play, although teammate Brandon Prust
said Kreiders crash was "accidental on purpose." "I dont think he did it
intentionally and I dont think he tried to miss me either," said Price. "He was
coming in with a lot of speed and he lost his footing. "Theres not much really
to be said. Im not going to go seeking revenge or anything like that. Hockey is
a game of chance and unfortunately, I was unlucky in that situation." Budaj was
beaten for three goals in his one period of action and coach Michel Therrien
made the surprise decision to start third-stringer Dustin Tokarski for the rest
of the series. Tokarski, who had only played 10 NHL regular season games in his
career and had no playoff experience, was solid in goal, going 2-3-1 with a 2.60
goals-against average and a .917 save percentage. Price had been 8-4-1 with a
2.35 average and a .919 save percentage. "That was probably one of the hardest
situations you could ever throw a guy into and he really excelled," Price said
of Tokarski, a former rival in the junior Western Hockey League.

an awesome guy and Ive got to tip my hat to him. He did an awesome job." It left
Budaj out to dry. The Slovak has a year remaining on his contract but looks to
have been bumped to third-string status. Price feels for him. "Its definitely a
tough spot," he said. "Peters one of the genuinely nicest human beings Ive ever
met. "Hes an unbelievable backup. Hes one of the best friends I have on this
team and he showed a lot of character. He never hung his head, never pouted and
he showed the utmost support for everybody, including Dustin. It takes a special
person to do that." Price was on an accelerated rehab program after the injury.
Going from a five-minute skate to a half hour in pads and then practising with
his teammates. He said he should have been able to play if the team reached the
Stanley Cup final. "I would have been pushing my luck to come back real quick,
but obviously the time of year I would be trying to come back real soon," he
said. "Obviously, in the playoffs you play through things, and thats what I
wanted to do. But theres also the reality that no matter how bad you want to
play and how bad you want to get in there, theres also a question of how
effective you are going to be. That was a decision that we had to make." He said
the injury was not related to the one he suffered while backstopping Canada to
gold at the Sochi Olympics in February. The 26-year-old plans to continue rehab
in Montreal for a short spell and return home to British Columbia to heal and
get ready for next season.
