TOKYO -- Kei Nishikori became the first Japanese man to break into the top 10 of the world tennis rankings on Monday. Nishikori, who is No. 9, was assured of a place in the top 10 after beating Feliciano Lopez 6-4, 6-4 in the quarterfinals of the Madrid Open. "It was a big goal for me to get top 10, but its just only one week for now," Nishikori said on the ATP website. "So I have to keep playing better tennis and keep this ranking. My goal is not to get one time into the top 10. Hopefully I can keep this ranking." The 24-year-old Nishikori beat David Ferrer 7-6 (5), 5-7, 6-3 in the semifinals in Madrid before retiring from Sundays final with a hip injury when trailing Rafael Nadal 2-6, 6-4, 3-0. Nishikori, who went into the Madrid Open at No. 12, had previously reached a career-high of No. 11 in June 2013. The Japanese player beat Santiago Giraldo 6-2, 6-2 to win the Barcelona Open on April 27 for his fifth career title and his second of the year. Nishikori becomes the first Asian to rank inside the top 10 since Paradorn Srichaphan of Thailand did so on March 29, 2004.

Halak did not get the start in the Washington Capitals Tuesday night game against the St.LANDOVER, Md. - The Philadelphia Eagles have proved themselves to be a mirage, a team that got away with its faults until it couldnt any longer. Leaders in the NFC East as recently as a week ago, theyre now just about done in the playoff race, and theyre in no position to argue that they deserve any better.Penalties, missed field goals, two more turnovers by Mark Sanchez and an inability to keep track of former teammate DeSean Jackson turned into a 27-24 loss to the lowly Washington Redskins on Saturday night, the Eagles third straight defeat and one that gives Dallas two chances to clinch the NFC East.Were currently minus-9 in the turnover margin, so us having nine wins is really impressive for that, said safety Malcolm Jenkins, echoing the mood of a locker room hit with a communal reality check. And really we were on borrowed time playing that style of football. If we had run the table in December with that kind of football, it would have been surprising, and its something we didnt fix.Sanchezs interception with 1:31 remaining — his 13th turnover in seven games — led to Kai Forbaths winning 26-yard field goal with 5 seconds remaining as the Redskins (4-11) snapped a six-game losing streak.The Eagles (9-6) will now be rooting for Indianapolis to beat the Cowboys (10-4) on Sunday. A Dallas win eliminates Philadelphia. A Dallas loss keeps a modicum of hope alive.Im not going to throw a party and watch it, receiver Jeremy Maclin said. Im going to watch it at home.The loss also knocked Philadelphia from the wild-card race and clinched a playoff berth for Detroit.Sanchez set an Eagles record with 37 completions in 50 attempts for a career-high 374 yards with two touchdowns to Riley Cooper, and tight end Zach Ertz set a franchise game record with 15 catches. But Sanchez lost a fumble for the third time this season and threw his 10th interception to put the Eagles NFL-leading turnover tally at 36.Robert Griffin III, back from his recent benching after a season-ending neck injury to Colt McCoy, went 16 for 23 for 220 yards with one interception for the Redskins to win in his first complete game in 13 months. Griffins only other win as a starter this season came when he was injured in the first quarrter against Jacksonville in Week 2.ddddddddddddFirst-year coach Jay Gruden, who has frequently been critical of Griffin, gave a glowing assessment, saying RG3 did an outstanding job of managing the football game.You would think a 3-11 football team would just quit, Griffin said. And were not.From the Eagles perspective, everything seemed to go wrong in pairs. Two wide-rights by rookie kicker Cody Parkey — doubling his number of misses this season — were converted into two 1-yard touchdown runs by Darrel Young.One of those Washington scoring drives included roughing-the-passer penalties by Brandon Graham and Vinny Curry in a span of four plays. The other drive featured a 55-yard over-the-shoulder grab by Jackson, the second 50-plus Griffin-to-Jackson connection in the game.I missed kicks and we lost the game, said Parkey, who has been battling a groin injury in his kicking leg. I dont think theres any words to really describe it. You let yourself down. You let your teammates down. The kicks had nothing to do with my groin.Curry also had a roughing-the-passer call on the Redskins winning drive. Earlier, a pass-interference call on Nate Allen in the end zone set up Youngs second scoring run. Philadelphia was flagged 13 times for 102 yards.Were beating ourselves with the penalties, defensive co-ordinator Bill Davis said. They stay on the field, and they get more shots on goal, and bad things happen in the NFL.The Eagles trailed 24-14 when Sanchez hit Cooper for a 16-yard score early in the fourth quarter, and Parkey kicked a 22-yard field goal with 6:17 to play.But, on their next possession — with the score tied and the season on the line — Sanchez made the games final mistake, the interception to rookie cornerback Bashaud Breeland at Washingtons 42.We wanted to spoil their Christmas and send them home, Griffin said, and we did our part.Notes: Jackson, cut by the Eagles after last season, caught four passes for 126 yards. ... Washington rookie LB Trent Murphy broke a bone in his right hand, and LT Trent Williams re-aggravated his sprained right shoulder.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL__Follow Joseph White on Twitter: http://twitter.com/JGWhiteAP Wholesale MLB Orioles Jerseys Red Sox Jerseys From China Discount Yankees Jerseys Online Rays Jerseys For Sale Blue Jays Jerseys From China Wholesale MLB White Sox Jerseys Indians Jerseys For Sale Tigers Jerseys From China Wholesale MLB Astros Jerseys Cheap Baseball Angels Jerseys Athletics Jerseys From China Mariners Jerseys For Sale Cheap Baseball Rangers Jerseys Braves Jerseys For Sale Discount Marlins Jerseys Online Discount Mets Jerseys Online Phillies Jerseys From China Wholesale MLB Nationals Jerseys Cubs Jerseys From China Discount Reds Jerseys Online Brewers Jerseys From China Wholesale MLB Pirates Jerseys Wholesale MLB Cardinals Jerseys Diamondbacks Jerseys For Sale Rockies Jerseys For Sale Discount Dodgers Jerseys Online Discount Padres Jerseys Online Giants Jerseys For Sale ' ' '
