Tennis : Federer and Nadal Headline Field at Rogers Cup Tennis Tournament

TORONTO – After a month-long break, the top two men’s tennis players in the world are ready to get back to business.

World No. 1 Roger Federer of Switzerland and No. 2 Rafael Nadal of Spain headline the 64-man field at the $2.45-million US Rogers Cup, which begins Monday at the Rexall Centre on the campus of York University.

The Masters Series event boasts 17 of the top 20 players in the world, but many fans will be hoping to witness another chapter in the rivalry between Federer and Nadal, who have owned the ATP Tour this season and are playing for the first time since meeting in the Wimbledon final.

Nadal won the Rogers Cup last year in Montreal while Federer won here in 2004. Two other former champions, Marat Safin of Russia (2000) and Thomas Johansson of Sweden (1999), are also in the field but former winners Andy Roddick and Andre Agassi were late withdrawals. Roddick, the 2003 champ, is nursing a muscle strain in his side while Agassi – a three-time champ (’92, ’94, ’95) who pulled out Friday – will concentrate on getting ready for the next Masters Series event in Cincinnati before ending his stellar career at the U.S. Open.

Federer, who turns 25 on Tuesday, is coming in on a high after beating Nadal in the final for his fourth straight Wimbledon title four weeks ago. He will open against Paul-Henri Mathieu of France, his same opponent from the first round at the All-England Club. Federer is an impressive 56-4 record this season but all four losses – including one in the French Open final – have come to Nadal, who is 43-5 on the year.

Federer said he enjoys their rivalry and thinks it’s good for the sport.

“I think it deserves the attention,” he said. “We’ve been playing so good for the last one and-a-half years. He’s been really coming along since his French Open win back in ’05. He’s been able to back it up on clay and then also he’s started to improve on hardcourt and on grass. The difference is not that big anymore.”

Nadal, 20, handed Federer his lone hardcourt loss of the season in the final at Dubai last March. However, the Spanish star could be tested early as he opens against Nicolas Massu of Chile, who won gold at the 2004 Athens Olympics.

There are some other intriguing first-round matchups, which will be spread out over two days. Former French Open champions Gaston Gaudio of Argentina and Carlos Moya of Spain will square off while veteran Frenchman Fabrice Santoro will take on rising star and countryman Richard Gasquet. There’s even an all-Canadian matchup between wild-card entries Frank Dancevic of Niagara Falls, Ont., and Peter Polansky of Thornhill, Ont.

Daniel Nestor of Toronto and Philip Bester of North Vancouver, B.C., also picked up wild-card spots but both have tough draws. Nestor faces No. 13 Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic while Bester will take on fifth-seeded James Blake of the U.S.

Nestor and partner Mark Knowles of the Bahamas are seeded fourth in the 24-team doubles field. The top seeds are Bob and Mike Bryan of the U.S.

The weather is expected to cooperate for the 125th anniversary of the tournament with warm temperatures and sunny skies in the long-term forecast.

Organizers had to do make some last-minute changes to the draw after Roddick’s withdrawal was announced Sunday afternoon. It was good news for Robby Ginepri, who was slated to meet No. 3 David Nalbandian of Argentina. Ginepri instead became the No. 17 seed and will play qualifier and fellow American Kevin Kim while Nalbandian will face qualifier Davide Sanguinetti of Italy. Roddick’s No. 9 seed position was not filled and lucky loser Nicolas Mahut of France was added to the draw. He’ll play Czech qualifier Jan Hernych.

Tournament director Grant Connell said he understood that Roddick wanted to take some more time to nurse the strain in his left side that also kept him out of the Legg Mason Tennis Classic in Washington.

“When he cancelled his flight from Texas, I knew his injury was still an issue,” Connell said. “Andy loves the hardcourt surface and I’m certain he wishes he could play in Toronto.”

Roddick issued a statement saying he was very disappointed that he could not compete, adding he’s optimistic he’ll be back in top form for the U.S. Open.

Connell is still pleased with the depth of the field, calling it one of the strongest in tournament history. The winner of Sunday’s final will receive $400,000 while the winning doubles team will split $99,300.

Notes: Six-time champion Ivan Lendl, tennis great Roy Emerson and Robert Bedard, the last Canadian to win the tournament, will be on hand for the opening ceremonies . . . I.F. Hellmuth won the first edition of the Canadian Open at the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club in 1881 . . . The women’s Rogers Cup will be played at Montreal’s Uniprix Stadium Aug. 12-20. Kim Clijsters of Belgium won the tournament last year.

Excerpt: The approach to offense in American and Canadian football has splintered and evolved in the 100 years in which the modern form of the sport has existed. Many philosophies exist about deploying a team’s 11 players. A smash mouth offense is the more traditional style of offense. It often results in a higher time of possession by running the ball heavily. So-called “smash-mouth football” is often run out of the I-formation or wishbone, with tight ends and receivers used as blockers. Though the offense is run-oriented, pass opportunities can develop as defenses play close to the line. Play-action can be very effective for a run-oriented team. Used to describe the run-heavy offenses such as run by Woody Hayes of Ohio State University in the 1950s and 1960s. A quarterback under Hayes would often throw fewer than 10 passes a game. Hayes is credited as saying “Three things can happen when you pass the ball, and two of them are bad”. This is a grind-it-out ball control offense that relies on time of possession and high percentage inside running off of handoffs to advance the ball down the field. Hayes relied primarily on the fullback off-tackle play. The basic running philosophy employed by the Green Bay Packers under coach Vince Lombardi. The central two plays in this philosophy are off-tackle run and the so-… More:

Arena Football $49 Arena Football is a variety of Gridiron football. It is a proprietary game played indoors on a smaller field than American or Canadian outdoor football, resulting in a faster and higher-scoring game. The sport was invented in 1981, and patented in 1987, by James F. Foster, Jr., a former executive of the National Football League and the United States Football League. Though not the only variant of indoor football, it is the most widely known, and the one on which most other forms of modern indoor football are at least partially based. Two leagues have played under the official arena football rules: the Arena Football League, which played 22 seasons from 1987 through 2009 and arenafootball2, which was founded in 2000. Arena Football 1, is the league’s new name, confederation of former AFL and af2 teams that plans to begin play in 2010, will also presumably follow the official arena football rulebook.

Canadian Football $14.14 Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Canadian football is a form of gridiron football played almost exclusively in Canada in which two teams of 12 players each compete for territorial control of a field of play 110 yards (101 m) long and 65 yards (59 m) wide attempting to advance a pointed prolate spheroid ball into the opposing team’s scoring area (end zone). In Canada, the term football usually refers to Canadian football and American football collectively, or either sport specifically, depending on the context. The two sports have shared origins and are closely related, but with significant differences. Rugby football in Canada had its origins in the early 1860s, and over time, the unique game known as Canadian football developed. Both the Canadian Football League (CFL), the sport’s top professional league, and Football Canada, the governing body for amateur play, trace their roots to 1884 and the founding of the Canadian Rugby Football Union. Currently active teams such as the Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Tiger-Cats have similar longevity. The CFL is the most popular and only major professional Canadian football league. Its championship game, the Grey Cup, is the country’s single largest sporting event and is watched by nearly half of Canada’s population. Canadian football is also played at the high school, junior, collegiate, and semi-professional levels: the Canadian Junior Football League and Quebec Junior Football League are leagues for players aged 18-22, many post-secondary institutions compete in Canadian Interuniversity Sport for the Vanier Cup, and senior leagues such as the Alberta Football League have grown in popularity in recent years. Great achievements in Canadian football are enshrined in the Canadian Football Hall of Fame. Other organizations across Canada perform senior league Canadian football during the summer. The first documented gridiron football match was a game played at University

Rash $16.99 “Of course, without people like us Marstens, there wouldn’t be anybody to do the manual labor that makes this country run. Without penal workers, who would work the production lines, or pick the melons and peaches, or maintain the streets and parks and public lavatories? Our economy depends on prison labor. Without it everybody would have to work — whether they wanted to or not.” In the late twenty-first century Bo Marsten is unjustly accused of a causing a rash that plagues his entire high school. He loses it, and as a result, he’s sentenced to work in the Canadian tundra, at a pizza factory that’s surrounded by hungry polar bears. Bo finds prison life to be both boring and dangerous, but it’s nothing compared to what happens when he starts playing on the factory’s highly illegal football team. In the meantime, Bork, an artificial intelligence that Bo created for a science project, tracks Bo down in prison. Bork has spun out of control and seems to be operating on his own. He offers to get Bo’s sentence shortened, but can Bo trust him? And now that Bo has been crushing skulls on the field, will he be able to go back to his old, highly regulated life? Pete Hautman takes a satirical look at an antiseptic future in this darkly comic mystery/adventure.

Rugby Union: Canadian Interuniversity Sport, Positionen Im Rugby Union, Grand Slam, Invictus – Unbezwungen, Irb-Weltrangliste $14.14 Kapitel: Canadian Interuniversity Sport, Positionen Im Rugby Union, Grand Slam, Invictus – Unbezwungen, Irb-Weltrangliste, International Rugby Hall of Fame, Irb Hall of Fame. Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Rugby union is a full contact team sport, a form of football which originated in England in the early 19th century. One of the codes of rugby football, it is based on running with the ball in hand. It is played with an oval-shaped ball, outdoors on a level field, usually with a grass surface, up to 100 metres (330 ft) long and 70 metres (230 ft) wide. On each goal line are H-shaped goal posts. William Webb Ellis is often credited with the invention of running with the ball in hand in 1823 at Rugby School when he allegedly caught the ball while playing football and ran towards the opposition goal. Although the evidence to support the Ellis story is doubtful, it was immortalised at the school with a plaque unveiled in 1895. In 1848, the first rules were written by pupils; other significant events in the early development of rugby include the Blackheath Club’s decision to leave the Football Association in 1863 and the split between rugby union and rugby league in 1895. The International Rugby Board (IRB) has been the governing body for rugby union since its formation in 1886. Currently, 115 national unions are members of the IRB. In 1995, the IRB removed restrictions on payments to players, making the game openly professional at the highest level for the first time. The Rugby World Cup, first held in 1987, takes place every four years, with the winner of the tournament receiving the Webb Ellis Cup. The Six Nations in Europe and the Tri Nations in the southern hemisphere are major international competitions held annually. Major domestic competitions include the Top 14 in France, the Guinness Premiership in England, the Currie Cup in South Africa, and the ITM Cup in New Zealand. Other transnational competitions

York Region Shooters $44.99 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! York Region Shooters are a Canadian soccer team, founded in 1998. The team is a member of the Canadian Soccer League, the top tier soccer league in Canada, and play in the International Division. The team first entered the league as Glen Shields in 1998, but changed their name to the Glen Shields Sun Devils the following year. They changed their name again, this time to the Vaughan Sun Devils in 2002, and then after merging with the York Region Shooters in 2003, became the Vaughan Shooters prior to the 2004 season. With the creation of the new International Division, and to celebrate the club’s strong Italian heritage, the club changed its name yet again, becoming the Italia Shooters in 2006 until 2010 when it changed to York Region Shooters. The Shooters currently play their home games at the St. Joan of Arc Turf Field in the city of Maple, Ontario, around 12 miles north-east of downtown Toronto. The team’s colors are blue and white, mirroring those of the Italian national football team.
