BEIJING, China - Top-ranked Novak Djokovic reached his fifth China Open final and improved his spotless record at the tournament to 23-0 with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Andy Murray on Saturday.In the womens draw, Maria Sharapova overcame eight double-faults, including four as she served for the match, to defeat Ana Ivanovic 6-0, 6-4. She will take on Petra Kvitova in the final after the Czech player beat Samantha Stosur 6-3, 5-7, 6-2.It was Djokovics third win over Murray this year and came just weeks after the Serb knocked him out of the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open in a hard-fought, 3 1/2-hour match.Saturdays semifinal didnt quite reach the same level of quality — the two combined for 43 unforced errors and only 26 winners — but Djokovic proved the steadier player at the key moments and saved four of five break points he faced in the second set.It was a two-set victory today, but still it felt like I had to work hard to win the points, he said.Hell play third-seeded Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic in the final. Berdych won 6-4, 6-1 over Martin Klizan, the qualifier who upset Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals.Overall, Djokovic is on a 24-match winning streak in China, having also won the Shanghai Masters in 2012 and 2013. He has not lost in China since being beaten by Roger Federer in the semifinals in Shanghai in 2010.He said he feels hes playing consistent tennis again after an up-and-down summer that saw him win his seventh Grand Slam title at Wimbledon and marry his long-time girlfriend, Jelena Ristic, then lose early at Cincinnati and Toronto.I just wasnt myself on the court. I wasnt really prepared emotionally to go back and compete again after Wimbledon and a very exhausting summer, everything that happened in my professional and private life, he said. Im glad that Im back in the form that I would like to be in, especially in these courts where I still havent lost ever since I played this tournament.Despite the loss, Murray was also pleased with how hes been playing in Asia this month. The 11th-ranked Scot accepted wild cards to play in Shenzhen and Beijing to try to improve his ranking and qualify for the ATP World Tour Finals in London.He won the title in Shenzhen last week and reached the semifinals in Beijing, playing eight matches in 10 days.Its been a couple good weeks for me, he said. I got a lot of matches, some momentum. Obviously, I would have liked to have done a little bit better here. But I lost to the No. 1 player in the world. Theres no disgrace in that.On the womens side, Sharapova needed four match points — and a little luck — to close out her win over Ivanovic.With Sharapova serving for the match at 5-4, the two played a nerve-wracking, 10-minute game featuring four double-faults and several wasted match and break points.Ivanovic finally thought she got the break on her fourth chance when Sharapovas backhand went wide, but the Russian challenged the call and the ball was shown to have caught the line by a fraction. Sharapova hit an ace to set up her fourth match point and won it on an Ivanovic error.Definitely got tricky in the end, Sharapova said. I didnt just give her a serve where she could attack because against me shes always played well when she has been behind because shes free and loose.The third-seeded Kvitova will be going for her second title in as many weeks. She captured the inaugural Wuhan Open title last week, and will be going for her fourth of the season on Sunday in Beijing.If she wins, shell also leapfrog Simona Halep to move to No. 2 in the rankings.Im quite tired already. A lot of matches in Wuhan and here, she said. Im looking forward to go to Europe. So Im glad the final match is the last one here, then I can go. Y.A.

Tristan Jackson returned a missed field goal 129 yards early in the fourth quarter as the Roughriders beat the B.C.CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Cam Newton returned to practice Wednesday eight days after a horrific-looking automobile accident left him with two fractures in his lower back.Whether or not he starts Sunday against the Cleveland Browns remains unclear.Panthers coach Ron Rivera said the team put Newton through a rigorous rehab schedule and will now wait to see how much soreness the fourth-year quarterback has on Thursday. Rivera wouldnt say definitively if hell start Newton or Derek Anderson in a game with playoff implications for the Panthers (5-8-1).The Panthers are a half-game behind the New Orleans Saints in the NFC South with two games remaining.Come Friday I want to have a good feel for him, Rivera said. I dont want to let it drag or linger. We want our quarterbacks to know whos getting the reps if theyre going to be the starter.Newton, wearing a long sleeve black shirt under his red practice jersey and a helmet, was limited in practice according to the teams injury report and split reps with the first team with Anderson. Rivera said Newton looked good throwing, even heaving a few balls more than 60 yards downfield.Rivera said Newton could see an increased workload this week if he feels good.Rivera repeatedly said Thursday is a big day for Newton.They put him through some very rigorous stuff today with the intention to stress (the back) and see how he feels, Rivera said.Newton did not address the media, but is scheduled to talk on Thursday.While sitting as his locker Wednesday, Newton was asked how he felt and pretended to zip his lip as he smiled at reporters. He said nothing of his injury.I thought he looked pretty good and move around normally, tight end Greg Olsen said of Newton.Olsen said he doesnt anticipate Carolinas game plan changing much if Newton doesnt play, and said the uncertainty over who is starting shouldnt affect the teams preparation.Both guys have been in this offence long enough and it doesnt matter, Olsen said. So if we havent gotten it by now, well neveer get it.ddddddddddddNewton missed last weeks game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after flipping his truck in a two-vehicle wreck on Dec. 9. Newton suffered two transverse process fractures and was hospitalized overnight after the crash.The fourth-year quarterback is 3-8-1 this season as Carolinas starter. Anderson is 2-0 with both wins coming against the Buccaneers (2-11).Browns coach Mike Pettine is preparing as if Newton will start at quarterback. He said the more athletic Newton poses more problems from a preparation standpoint than Anderson.The things they do with Cam with the quarterback runs and the options and the things you wont necessarily see when Derek is in there, Pettine said. They just pose more problems schematically. So its obviously in our best interest to prepare for him.Anderson said he expects Newton will try to start if he feels healthy enough to play.Its out of my control, Anderson said. I have to be tuned in and have a very good understanding of what were going to do and understanding their defence and what theyre trying to do to us. If I am called upon to play, I will play.Anderson left Cleveland in March of 2010 under tense circumstances.The Browns released him two years after he appeared in his first and only Pro Bowl.After his hasty departure, Anderson sent an email to The News-Herald in Cleveland that read: The fans are ruthless and dont deserve a winner. I will never forget getting cheered when I was injured. I know at times I wasnt great. I hope and pray Im playing when my team comes to town and (we) roll them.If Anderson starts on Sunday it will be his first against his former team.Anderson described his experience in Cleveland on Wednesday as up and down and wonderful at times.I said some things I regret saying before I left, Anderson said. But its over with and Ive moved on. Im happy. I wasnt in a great place when I left. Im in a lot better place now.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Stitched College Jerseys Cheap UCLA Jerseys NCAA Louisville Cardinals Jerseys North Carolina Jerseys Stitched Kentucky Wildcats Jerseys Stitched Alabama Crimson Tide Jerseys Cheap Basketball Wisconsin Badgers Jerseys Authentic NCAA Jerseys Store Wholesale Basketball NCAA Jerseys Cheap Duke Gear Stitched Alabama Jerseys Stitched Georgia Jerseys Cheap Clemson Jerseys Authentic Authentic Texas Jerseys Wholesale USC Jerseys Stitched Oklahoma Jerseys Stitched Ohio State Jerseys Cheap Notre Dame Gear UCLA Jerseys From China Cheap Louisville Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap North Carolina Jerseys Authentic Cheap Kentucky Jerseys Authentic Wisconsin Jerseys From China Cheap Michigan Gear Cheap Florida Gear Wholesale Arizona State Jerseys Cheap LSU Gear Cheap Auburn Gear Cheap California Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Miami Jerseys Authentic Cheap Michigan State Gear Cheap Tennessee Jerseys Authentic Texas A&M Jerseys From China Authentic Wake Forest Jerseys West Virginia Jerseys From China ' ' '
