LONDON -- Milos Raonic capped an impressive start by Canadian players at Wimbledon with a straight-sets victory over Argentinas Carlos Berlocq on Tuesday at the All-England Club. Ferguson Jenkins Jersey . Raonic, the No. 17 seed from Thornhill, Ont., needed less than two hours to complete the 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 win to become the fourth Canadian to reach the second round at the Grand Slam event this week. It has been 25 years since four Canadians won first-round singles matches at the same major. Sebastien Lareau, Daniel Nestor, Sonya Jeyaseelan and Jana Nejedly last accomplished the feat at the Australian Open in 1988. Raonic, who has struggled of late to get his grass-court game in form, said he was happy with the way he played Tuesday. "My game feels a lot better than last week," Raonic said. "We worked on a lot of things. Also, this is a grand slam and you bite down harder." The 22-year-old had 19 aces and just 18 unforced errors in the match. "I kept the pressure on (Berlocq) the whole time," Raonic said. "Im feeling much more comfortable on grass. Ive had moments in the past when I doubted myself, but Im playing with more peace and confidence." Raonics next opponent will be Igor Sijsling of the Netherlands, who beat American Alex Kuznetsov 6-3, 6-4, 6-4.

Ottawas Jesse Levine also won his opening match Tuesday, a day after Vancouvers Vasek Pospisil and Montreals Eugenie Bouchard posted victories. Levine defeated Guido Pella of Argentina 6-4, 6-2, 4-6, 3-6, 4-3. Pella had to be helped off the court midway through the fifth set with an apparent hamstring injury. The match lasted nearly three hours as the 112th-ranked Levine advanced to the second round for the second straight year. Pella appeared to slip on the grass and received medical treatment while lying on the baseline. He shook Levines hand before being taken away on a stretcher. Levine said he was able to refocus after dropping the third and fourth sets. "My energy went down and I got away from my game plan," Levine said. "I wasnt hurting him any more with my shots. He is good on clay and slow surfaces so I wanted to force him to speed up. "In the first and second sets I took it to him, I didnt want to get into a long battle. I finally got back to doing what I had been doing. Im glad to be into the second round." Levine had 19 aces and converted five of eight service breaks. He will face Juan Martin Del Potro in the second round. The 25-year-old Canadian says hell have to sharpen his game against the eighth-seeded Argentine. "Against Del Potro I really have to hit the ball," Levine said. "I cant get away with what I did today. Hes a big strong guy, so I hope to use my speed to move him around the court. "Im going to try and not let him set up on too many balls, but thats easier said than done." Nestor, from Toronto, and Robert Lindstedt of Sweden are the sixth-seeded mens doubles team. They will open against Mikhail Elgin of Russia and Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan. Wholesale Custom Cubs Shirts .

Jody Davis Jersey . Hes coming back to fulfil them. One of Europes top coaches, Blatt was hired Friday by the Cavaliers, who ended a sweeping, 39-day search with an out-of-the-box selection they hope changes their fortunes. http://www.customcubsjersey.com/custom-jerome-walton-jersey-large-690n.html . However, it wasnt a problem on Monday night. Evgeni Nabokov made 23 saves for his 56th career shutout in the New York Islanders 3-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Monday night.DENVER -- The Denver Broncos wildest of offseasons came to an end Thursday night when Arizonas Ryan Lindley threw for two touchdowns in a 32-24 victory at Denver. "Thats the true measure of a quarterback," Lindley said of the win, which he secured with a fourth-quarter rally, one he hopes lands him on the Cardinals 53-man roster as their third QB. The Broncos were just glad to get through this one relatively intact, although promising rookie linebacker Lerentee McCray did sprain his right ankle and had to be helped from the field. Just another speed bump on this uneven ride the Broncos have been on since their playoff pratfall against Baltimore in January. Now, they get to put the turmoil of the off-season aside and see if they can use all this adversity to drive them to great heights, like so many expect. "What tumult?" Broncos coach John Fox asked incredulously. "This job is tumult." Well, there was losing Elvis Dumervil to the Ravens in free agency after a fax foul-up on his renegotiated contract, followed by John Elways top two assistants getting suspended for drunken driving arrests; All-Pro linebacker Von Millers six-game suspension; and a rash of injuries to key players such as Champ Bailey. "I enjoyed the off-season," Fox insisted. "Everybody goes through the same things. Were done with the off-season and were getting ready to start the regular season." The Broncos head into next weeks NFL Kickoff against defending champion Baltimore -- with gigantic banners of Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco hanging from their stadium next to those of Peyton Manning, no less -- with Dumervil on the other side and Miller sidelined. Together, they accounted for 29 1/2 of Denvers league-leading 52 sacks last season. How the Broncos make up for their absences will go a long way in determining if Millers Super Bowl guarantee he made back in February was bold or blather. The Broncos have some tough choices when filling out their 53-man roster because several players theyd like to keep are injured, and theyre already without their defensive superstar until mid-October. Before spraining his right ankle, McCray made a strong case for extending Denvers streak to a full decade in which at least one undrafted player made the 53-man roster in Week 1. McCray started at Millers strong side spot and had a sack and a forced fumble in the first half. Lindley threw a 55-yard TD pass to Jaron Brown on the play after McCray was helped off the field in the third quarter. The Broncos responded with Lance Balls 69-yard gain on a screen and rookie Zac Dyserts keeper from 7 yards that put Denver back on top, 24-17. Mickey Morandini Jersey. Denver tight end Jake OConnells second fumble of the night, however, led to Mike Thomas 13-yard TD catch from Lindley, whose 2-point conversion pass to Andre Ellington gave Arizona its first lead at 25-24 with less than 6 minutes remaining. Stepfan Taylor added a 15-yard TD run with 1:05 left. Miller was among Broncos starters who didnt play but went through a workout 3 1/2 hours before kickoff. Also in that group was rookie running back Montee Ball. Absent was Ronnie Hillman, who had fumbles that were returned for touchdowns in back-to-back games. Hillman started for Denver and got the first two carries, gaining 14 yards, before Jeremiah Johnson took over and capped the opening drive with a 9-yard burst up the middle. Brock Osweilers 45-yard pass to Gerell Robinson set up a 27-yard field goal by Matt Prater before the Cardinals countered with Ryan Williams 1-yard TD run and Jay Feelys 52-yarder to knot the score at 10 at halftime. "I thought the offensive line played lights out. I didnt have a hand put on me," Osweiler said. "The receivers made plays. Gerell Robinson had a huge night. It was a lot of fun reconnecting with him on the field. We had quite a few completions in our careers at ASU together." Robinson caught five passes for 99 yards, including a 25-yard TD pass from Dysert. "Even if I do feel like I did (enough to make the roster), it doesnt matter what I think," Robinson said. "It ultimately comes down to what the heads in the top room think. Ive been down this road before" Arizona coach Bruce Arians indicated Williams, who had been hobbled by a knee injury, did enough to make the cut. "Right now I would keep all five" running backs, he said. "They are solid. They can all play. You cant have enough good backs. We have a stable of them. I am not going to cut a running back thats a good football player to keep an average player just to have eight players at another position. We are going to keep the best 53 players we have." Notes: Arians said TE Jeff King will likely have knee surgery Friday. ... Cardinals DT Ricky Lumpkin injured a shoulder. ... Denver rookie CB Kayvon Webster tied for the team lead with seven tackles, but his hard hits drew two 15-yard penalties. "Thats my game," he said. "I pride myself on being a good tackler." ' ' '
