  • SANTA CLARA, Calif. Shareef Abdur-Rahim Jersey . -- Cordell Cato scored his first goal of the season and the San Jose Earthquakes survived a full half playing a man down to beat FC Dallas 2-1 Saturday night. San Jose (2-3-4) stretched its unbeaten streak at home to three matches despite losing winger Shea Salinas to a straight red card after a studs-up tackle on Dallas defender Zach Loyd just before halftime. FC Dallas (5-5-1) slid to its fourth straight loss despite a stinging 20-yard free-kick goal by Michel in the 76th minute. Cato burst in behind the Dallas defence to give San Jose a 1-0 lead in the 25th minute, set free by a long pass forward by goalkeeper Jon Busch and a redirecting header from centre back Clarence Goodson. It was the first career assist for Busch, a 14-year MLS veteran. San Jose doubled its lead off an own goal by Dallas substitute David Texeira in the 73rd minute, providing enough of a cushion to withstand Michels strike. The Earthquakes held on in the second half. Victor Ulloa banged a shot off the post in the 57th minute, and Busch scrambled across his goalmouth to deliver a body block on Blas Perezs rebound try. Matt Hedges, Fabian Castillo and rookie Tesho Akindele all missed wide for Dallas in the final 11 minutes of regulation. Memphis Grizzlies Jerseys . -- Arizona pitcher Bronson Arroyo is expected to miss a week to 10 days because of a back injury. Custom Memphis Grizzlies Jerseys .

If you throw the ball on the floor, the bounce goes everywhere. Is not a question of winning or losing. I won in Rio (earlier this year) with this ball.Its just that were competing at the top level of our sport, tennis, and the ball is an important thing.This isnt the first time the 14-time major winner has complained previously about the ball in question a€” manufactured by Head. He also criticized the decision to switch ball manufacturers from tournament to tournament, saying it could result in injuries.This week we are playing with one ball. Next week we are playing with a different ball, he said. Thats dangerous for the shoulder, dangerous for the elbow.Head is a corporate sponsor of the ATP tour, but each tournament has the right to choose the ball it wants to use from an approved list.Andy Murray echoed Nadals complaints about the difficulty of adjusting to a new ball each week.If you want to see consistently high level tennis, its very difficult when youre changing balls from week to week -because they all react differently, he said after his 6-2, 6-2 win over Pablo Cuevas.Im sure if you gave golfers a different ball to play with each week, it would take them time to adjust to that, as well.Nadal wasnt nearly as critical of his own game in his second match back from a two-month layoff due to a right wrist injury.He was sharp for much of the match until the final game when he double-faulted and made two unforced errors to give Gojowczyk three break points. He fought them off, however, and closed it out on his fourth match point.Nadal faces anotther qualifier in the quarterfinals, Martin Klizan, who advanced when seventh-seeded Ernests Gulbis of Latvia retired with a shoulder injury while trailing 6-2, 3-0. Wade Baldwin Jersey. urray takes on U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic, a 6-3, 6-3 winner over Portugals Joao Sousa.In the womens draw, top-ranked Serena Williams recovered from a second-set lapse to defeat Lucie Safarova, 6-1, 1-6, 6-2.After the match, Williams skipped her post-match news conference, releasing a statement saying she had a little swelling in her knee. She wore strapping on the knee during the match she said was preventative.Simona Halep of Romania won a back-and-forth match against Andrea Petkovic of Germany 7-6 (4), 5-7, 7-6 (1), then immediately withdrew from the tournament with a left hip injury.The second-seeded Halep took a medical timeout for treatment on her hip after the first set, but returned to complete the match, which featured 17 breaks of serve and 105 combined unforced errors (61 from the Romanian).It was a tough match against Andrea today, and I had to fight a lot. Im happy I was able to win and finish the match in the right way, but I have a hip injury and it would be risky for me to play again tomorrow, Halep said in a statement.Haleps withdrawal gave ninth-seeded Ana Ivanovic of Serbia a pass to the semifinals.
