Cilic said he feels fine physically heading into Sunday.The conditions here are not too difficult; the weather, not too humid and not too demanding, Cilic said.

But I pretty much feel fine.On Sunday, Isner will open against Cilic, and Sock will face Borna Coric.The U.S.-Croatia winner will advance to the World Group semifinals, facing the France-Czech Republic quarterfinal winner Sept. 16-18. If the United States advances, it will play host to the semifinals at a site to be determined.The lineup shuffle didnt surprise the United States.I think its fair to say hes a better doubles player than Draganja, U.S. captain Jim Courier said. That made a lot of sense from their standpoint,The Bryans didnt relish having Cilic in the lineup.Cilic is dangerous. He brings great returns and some nasty groundies, and his serve is pretty strong, Bob Bryan said. So putting him in there was probably a smart play,The Bryans, who are 38, were handed just their fifth Davis Cup loss in 29 matches. The Croatians broke their serve six times.We werent making a lot of first serves, werent getting them in trouble from the start. They just kind of outplayed us in every aspect of the game today, Bob Bryan said. Those guys are two good players. Thats the type of match that we have to play at the top of our game to take them out. We just didnt do it.The doubles win gave Cilic a much-needed boost of confidence after he blew a two-set lead to Roger Federer in the Wimbledon quarterfinals, then to Sock on Friday.I was thinking a little bit after yesterdays loss that maybe I was a little mentally drained, Cilic said. Wimbledon left a small mark on me. This gives me good sensation for playing.The United States, 157-3 in Davis Cup, claims its confidence hasnt wavered. Isner beat Coric in three sets, while Sock bounced back from a two-set deficit to win the final three sets against Cilic.Obviously, we would have loved to close this out today, but were up 2-1 going in and our singles players have confidence, Courier said. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but were confident.The United States is trying to break a nine-year Davis Cup title drought. The U.S. won in 2007 when it beat Russia 4-1 in Portland. Croatia claimed its only Davis Cup title in 2005. The U.S. has won a Davis Cup-high 32 titles, but only one since 1995. Nolan Cromwell Rams Jersey . Ronaldo produced a spectacular individual performance on Tuesday, scoring all three goals and guiding Portugal into the next years World Cup in Brazil with a 3-2 victory in Sweden.

Kurt Warner Womens Jersey . Varlamov made 33 saves and Ryan OReilly had a goal and scored in the shootout as the Avalanche beat the New Jersey Devils 2-1 on Thursday night. 1 Tamim Iqbal (476 runs at 43.27, SR 115.8) Given his top position among the run-scorers, Tamim was an automatic choice. He spent much of the tournament trying to ensure his runs mattered for Chittagong Vikings, who failed to make it past the eliminator match despite having a strong line-up.2 Mehedi Maruf (347 runs, SR 135.54) Marufs strike rate was the highest among openers who played at least 10 innings. He did not make many big scores but always provided Dhaka Dynamites with a fast start in the Powerplay. He is a good fielder too, and affected a crucial run-out to dismiss Sabbir Rahman in the final.3 Sabbir Rahman (377 runs, SR 117.81) Sabbir edged out Mohammad Mithun by virtue of one innings. His 122 against Barisal Bulls was the tournaments only century. Mithun had a better average and appeared more stable, but you would always want a gun batsman like Sabbir at No. 3.4 Mahmudullah (396 runs at 33; 10 wickets, 7.41 RPO) He was often a one-man show for Khulna Titans. For his exploits with bat and ball, Mahmudullah was the Player of the Tournament. He was consistent with the bat despite having to switch between roles of anchor and slogger, and though he bowled less this year, his last-over heroics in two matches ultimately took Khulna to the playoffs.5 Mohammad Nabi (overseas, 230 runs, SR 174.24; 19 wickets, 6.47 RPO) Chittagong had great service from Mohammad Nabi, who won them matches with bat and ball. His reputation grew from the 2013 BPL, when he appeared for Sylhet Royals, but this time he was more involved by bowling up front and batting higher up the order.6 Darren Sammy (capt) (overseas, 276 runs, SR 174.68; 6 wickets, 7.54 RPO) By pulling Rajshahi Kings to the final with his leadership and crucial runs, Sammy was chosen ahead of Kumar Sangakkara, who made 370 runs, in the XI. Sammy brought his ability to inspire to a franchise that was making its debut in the BPL. His team talks, some of which were seen in the middle, seemed to briing everyone together.dddddddddddd His big-hitting also won them a few matches, and there was also the odd breakthrough with the ball.7 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk) (341 runs at 37.88, SR 134.78; 7 dismissals) Because Sangakkara could not be fit in because of the limit on overseas players, Mushfiqur made it. He was the lone light in a dreary season for Barisal Bulls, who finished at the bottom. There was a marked improvement in Mushfiqurs wicketkeeping.8 Dwayne Bravo (overseas, 104 runs; 21 wickets, 7.55 RPO) Dhaka Dynamites wouldnt have been champions without Bravos effervescence with the ball. He failed to take wickets in only two matches and collected at least three wickets in four matches. He was the highest wicket-taker of the tournament, which helped him stretch his lead as T20 crickets highest wicket-taker. 9 Arafat Sunny (13 wickets, 6.29 RPO) Sunny edged out Sunzamul Islam, Nazmul Islam and Rangpur Riders team-mate Sohag Gazi because he conceded only 4.02 per over in wins. Sunny was also the only Bangladeshi spinner among the top ten wicket-takers this season. But he had one sour note: his bowling action was reported by umpires for one delivery.10 Shafiul Islam (18 wickets, 7.78 RPO) In this unusually long injury-free period, Shafiul bowled better than he has ever done in a tournament. He ended with more wickets than Rubel Hossain, Mohammad Shahid and Taskin Ahmed, becoming the highest Bangladeshi wicket-taker in the tournament. But he eventually suffered a hamstring injury and missed the second qualifier for Khulna.11 Junaid Khan (20 wickets, 6.09 RPO) Junaid was the second highest wicket-taker in the tournament, grabbing the attention with a four-wicket haul in Khulnas first game. His pace, lengths and variation impressed even Wasim Akram, who tweeted that the performance should be noticed by Pakistans selectors. ' ' '
