PARIS -- Vancouvers Vasek Pospisil was ousted in the first round of the Paris Masters on Tuesday, saying he was "mentally injured" in a 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 loss to Spains Pablo Andujar. Tyrone Hill Cavaliers Jersey . Ranked 32nd in the world, Pospisil was due to play Frenchman Gael Monfils, but he withdrew with a wrist injury. Pospisil had the momentum going into the match against No. 52 Andujar, who got into the draw as a lucky loser, after making the semifinals last weekend in Basel. But he said his head wasnt in the game Tuesday. "I had no physical issues," Pospisil said. "I was just burned out mentally. I was not ready to fight, Im very disappointed right now. Its true Ive had a great season but its disappointing to lose like that." Pospisil went down with 62 unforced errors, 38 off of his usually reliable forehand. His lack of fire was evident in the opening game when he dropped serve in the 37-minute first set, despite dominating Andujar with 12 winners. Pospisil rallied in the second set to take it with a pair of breaks but failed to keep up his intensity in the third set as the rigours of the demanding season began to take a toll. Andujar earned a 4-2 lead on a break but was then unable to easily serve out the win. Instead, the Spaniard lost serve leading 5-2 and missed a match point chance a game later as Pospisil hammered over an ace. Pospisil saved three more match points a game later before Andujar managed a passing winner to end the struggle. The 23-year-old Pospisil said that several months of travelling in Asia and Europe since the U.S. Open finally hit him. "Ive been on the road for eight or nine weeks, and Ive been struggling the last few weeks, even if I did well last week," he said. "It was definitely tough to play today. I didnt play well at all, credit to him, he played solid, but Im not happy with my game." Pospisil said hes anxious to move on. "Im bitter now, but Ive had a great year for sure," he said. "Ill try to forget this match as quickly as possible and look back on a positive year." His 32nd ranking is a career high for Pospisil, who now has a chance to be seeded at the Australian Open in January. He started 2013 ranked 128th. Pospisil said he will take a few weeks off before beginning his pre-season training in Florida. Tenth-seeded Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., opens play Wednesday against Robin Haase of the Netherlands. The Canadian star is vying for spot in the World Tour Finals in London next week. In other play Tuesday, Kei Nishikori of Japan put an end to Jo-Wilfried Tsongas bid for a World Tour Finals spot by defeating the Frenchman 1-6, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (7) in the second round while ninth-seeded Richard Gasquet outlasted Fernando Verdasco 7-5, 6-7 (6), 6-3 in another second-round match to stay in contention for the tournament in London. Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, David Ferrer, Juan Martin del Potro and Tomas Berdych have already qualified for the tournament in London next week. There are still three spots up for grabs as Andy Murray withdrew from the season-ending event to recover from back surgery.

Kevin Anderson of South Africa, Marcel Granollers of Spain, Ivan Dodig of Croatia, French wild card Nicolas Mahut and Polish qualifier Michal Przysiezny also moved into the second round.

Saltalamacchia has agreed to a $21 million, three-year deal with the Miami Marlins, two people familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday. http://www.cavaliersbasketballpro.com/jose-calderon-cavaliers-jersey/ .com) - James Harden put the Houston Rockets on his back and willed them to an overtime victory on Thursday.CALGARY - The Calgary Stampeders have had enough bad news on the injury front lately that they welcomed any good news they could get.The return of receiver Marquay McDaniel after a six-game absence due to a broken hand provided players and coaches with a positive talking point after practice on Tuesday.Im very pleased about that situation, said Calgary coach and general manager John Hufnagel. I know hes excited about playing. Hes a big part of our offence when hes on the field. Hes probably our most complete receiver.After a disheartening 18-13 loss at home to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Saturday, the Stamps (14-3) are looking forward to welcoming McDaniel back to the lineup for their road game against the B.C. Lions (9-8) in Vancouver on Friday night.I know Im excited to watch him play, said Stamps veteran linebacker Keon Raymond. Hes by far one of the best receivers in this league. For us to have a weapon like that going into this game and potentially for our West Final as well … Im excited.Not only did the Stamps lose the game to the Bombers, they also lost running back Jon Cornish and receiver Maurice Price to concussions as well as rookie receiver/kick returner Sederrik Cunningham to a sprained ankle.That makes the return of McDaniel off the six-game injured list even more important for the Stamps, who want to head into the post-season on a positive note.We want to be playing our best going into the playoffs, said McDaniel, whos eagerly anticipating his return to BC Place where he suffered a season-ending ankle injury in the final game of the regular season one year earlier. I actually feel blessed. My season could be over. You see guys with lower-body injuries. Its not my knee. Its not my foot. I think that would have hurt a little bit more, especially playing receiver trying to come back from it.The 30-year-old veteran of six CFL seasons, four of them with the Stamps, is hoping to make the most of his opportunity to get into game action leading up to Calgary hosting the CFLs West final at McMahon Stadium on Nov. 23.Last year, I missed the playoff game, so at least I get to come back before the playoffs, said McDaniel, who still leads the Stamps with 42 catches for 627 yards despite missing the past six games. Rodney Hood Jersey. . Im just looking forward to Friday. Thats my main focus.McDaniel and his fellow receivers will catch passes from both of Calgarys quarterbacks, Drew Tate and Bo Levi Mitchell, on Friday against the Lions.Both Drew and Bo will play in the game, Hufnagel said. Were planning on starting Drew — get him a game where he has to prepare as the starter.After carrying the ball 11 times for 109 yards against Winnipeg, running back Matt Walter can expect to get just as much or more action against the Lions with Cornish out of the lineup.Coming off a loss, it doesnt feel that great, said Walter of his first career 100-yard rushing game. You always want to get the win and that didnt happen. It was nice that I was able to add some value where I could, but we still couldnt finish and we have to get better at that.Against the Lions, Walter will be looking to add to his totals of 77 carries for 453 yards and two touchdowns this season — all career highs.Were obviously going out for the win, he said. Whatever way they can use me, thats all I can ask for.Veteran receiver Nik Lewis, who had two catches for 26 yards against the Bombers, said the Stamps want to rebound with a much better performance against the Lions in their final game of the regular season.We played pretty bad offensively — fumbling the ball, not protecting it, not making plays when we needed to, said Lewis, while adding that the Stamps cant use the snowy conditions on Saturday as an excuse. Any time you go out and get 250 yards rushing and dont score more points, its not very good. We feel like we did a good job blocking, but weve just got to be better.You never know what the West final is going to hold. If it holds a game like that, we have to be better in that type of game.According to Raymond, the Stamps also have to bounce back with a much better defensive effort on Friday.I can pretty much speak for the whole defensive unit, we want to get better, Raymond said. We want to make sure we play better as a defensive unit — get better at the things that we do best and show that on game day. Thats our main focus right now so make we sure that we get better as a unit and be the best defence playing going into the playoffs.
