NEW YORK -- Novak Djokovics right elbow was treated by a trainer in the third set of an otherwise matter-of-fact 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 victory over Kyle Edmund on Sunday night that put the defending champion in the U. Josh Oliver Jersey .S. Open quarterfinals for the 10th consecutive year.Djokovic was finally forced to play a full match after competing for a total of 31 minutes over the preceding five days because of injuries to his opponents in the second and third rounds.Obviously I havent played too much tennis. So Im really glad to be back, Djokovic said in an on-court interview. I thought I came out, really, from the blocks very good, playing with a high intensity.That he did. Yet while Djokovic looked quite good for the first two sets against the 84th-ranked Edmund, and again at the very end, there was that interlude that included the medical visit at 2-1 in the final set.That came right after Djokovic was broken for the first time in the match and was part of a stretch of three games in a row for Edmund.Djokovic also had his right arm worked on during his first-round victory on Day 1 of the tournament, but he got a chance to let that arm sit idle for a bit, benefiting from a walkover in the second round, then a retirement after only six games in the third.Until the issues resurfaced in the third set against Edmund, Djokovic appeared rather rested and ready.After about 75 minutes Sunday, Djokovic was ahead by two sets and a break. He produced various bits of magic along the way: a jumping, head-fake drop shot at an impossible angle; a stretching angled cross-court backhand pass that drew an errant volley from Edmund; a body-contorting defense-to-offense forehand that drew a roar from spectators.I made Kyle work for each point, said Djokovic, whose quarterfinal opponent is No. 9 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the man he beat in the 2008 Australian Open final for the first of his 12 major championships. I wanted to move him around the court.Djokovic even cracked a smile after one effortless exchange in which he ran Edmund this way and that before dropping a backhand winner right near the baseline early in the third set.And yet it was in that same game that Edmund began his mini-run. At the ensuing changeover, Djokovic was visited by the trainer, who pressed a thumb just above the back of the players right elbow, while manipulating that joint in various ways. Edmund broke for a second consecutive time to suddenly lead 3-2 as Djokovics coach, Boris Becker, looked on from the stands, grim-faced.That, though, was that. Djokovic broke back to 3-all, and after a trade of service holds, he took the last two games. He has reached at least the quarterfinals at 29 of the past 30 Grand Slam tournaments -- the exception was his loss in the third round of Wimbledon in June against Sam Querrey. Nick Foles Jersey . Vancouver Whitecaps and Toronto FC failed to make the postseason while Montreal Impact fell at the first hurdle losing heavily to Houston Dynamo in the Eastern Conference Knockout Round.

Where theres light, theres hope and Wests Tigers halfback Luke Brooks refuses to concede his side is out of NRL finals contention.The Tigers chance of making their first finals appearance in five season were dealt a blow in Friday nights embarrassing 40-10 defeat to Penrith.Only a mathematical chance and needing to win their last two games with other results to run their way, Brooks said he hadnt given up hope.As a team we want to improve and weve still got a chance of making the eight, Brooks said.This week is a big game for us.Weve just got to worry about what we can control. We just need to win and if the other games go our way then thats a bonus.The Tigers are 10th and three points outside the eight and they must beat the ninth-placed Warriors in a do-or-die showdown at Mt Smart Stadium on Sunday before meeting the in-form Canberrra in the final round. Andrew Wingard Jersey. They must now win their final two as well as hope the Warriors and Gold Coast lose their remaining games.With a top-eight berth up for grabs, the Tigers produced one of their worst defensive performances of the season in their seven-tries-to-two loss to the Panthers.Hurt by 48 missed tackles, Brooks acknowledged his side failed to handle the occasion but was at a loss to explain what went wrong.We were obviously disappointed in the way we played, Brooks said.The last two months weve been playing great footy and to put in a performance like that is disappointing especially with finals on the line.The only way we can make up for it is to put in a good performance this week.
