PARIS -- Canadians Eugenie Bouchard and Daniel Nestor lost their matches Friday at the French Open. The No. 77-ranked Bouchard, from Montreal, was dispatched by defending champion Maria Sharapova 6-2, 6-4 in a second-round match that was forced to be completed Friday due to rain. Torontos Nestor and new partner Robert Lindstedt of Sweden lost their second-round match to French duo Jonathan Dasnieres de Veigy and Florent Serra 7-6(3), 6-3. It was Nestors worst result at Roland Garros since he was ousted in the second round in 2006. Bouchard, meanwhile, trailed by a set and 4-2 when the match was halted Thursday night by rain. The 19-year-old put up a stubborn defence Friday before falling on a first match point as her forehand sailed over the baseline. "It was a good experience, to play one of the best in the world," Bouchard said. "I saw her game, her shots. "She kept me on my heels a lot. I tried to counter that and was able to play my best game at some stages." Bouchard, who made her first WTA semifinal last weekend in Strasbourg, converted on only one-of-six break chances and committed 22 unforced errors. Sharapova also won their only previous meeting in March in Miami. "I did better than Miami, it was more competitive this time," Bouchard said. "I wasnt quite as blown off the court as in Miami. "It was an improvement. I was excited and motivated and was really looking forward to the match." The third-seeded Nestor and Lindstedt lost in 75 minutes to snap Nestors 19-match win streak in Paris. Nestor had claimed the French Open title the previous three years -- with Nenad Zimonjic in 2010 and Max Mirnyi in 2011 and 2012 -- and owns four trophies overall. He has also played in three other finals (1998, 2002 and 08). "Nothing went right for us." said Nestor. "The best comparison is to boxing match, where you get pounded early. "They came out swinging and we were on our heels the whole time." The loss was the first in Paris for the 40-year-old Canadian since he and Zimonjic were beaten in the 2009 semifinals by Lukas Dlouhy and Leander Paes. "They didnt do anything to surprise us, we werent making shots," Nestor said. "In the first game they hit four winners to break and that set the tone. "They were hitting big shots and we were just hanging on. When we needed to make shots, we didnt." Nestor admitted it was tough to lose in Paris, saying "It was a good run." Nestor and Lindstedt broke twice but lost serve three times in the tight match.Cheap Superstar Shoes Nz . -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday.

Superstar Shoes Nz . LOUIS -- Mike Smith is used to facing plenty of shots, so this was nothing new. Adidas Superstar Online Nz . -- There were a lot of firsts for the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.There was only going to be one result when New Zealand full-back Ben Smith dropped the ball onto his right foot in the final few minutes of the 2015 Rugby World Cup final. For looming up on the inside was one of the fastest men in world rugby: All Blacks replacement Beauden Barrett.Yeah unbelievable, for how that ball bounced up I just couldnt believe my luck, Barrett recalled to ESPN.And its just a memory, a feeling that will stick with me for a long time. Obviously it was on the back of a great team performance and it was pretty nice to finish that way.Having come on with 15 minute to play in the Twickenham decider, Barretts fresh legs iced the All Blacks third Webb Ellis crown after Sonny Bill Williams had made a similarly important impact from the bench just after half-time.But it wasnt always about speed for the son of Pungarehu cattle farmers, and brother to seven siblings, with his early running more about endurance that pure pace.I was never that quick as a kid, Barrett told ESPN. I was more into the long-distance stuff: running the hills.Mum would make me run home from school and so on; we had some pretty adventurous cross-country courses, which was good fun.Barrett and Smith were at it again recently during the All Blacks 3-0 sweep of Wales.An injury to fly-half Aaron Cruden gave Barrett 45 minutes at No. 10 in the second Test before he started the third Test in the same position.A return of three tries, a further assist, four clean breaks and a swathe of beaten defenders reflected his superb contribution in Wellington and Dunedin, and only added to the selection headache All Blacks coach Steve Hansen will have come the Rugby Championship.Look it was unfortunate for Aaron and the injury that he had, but it was an opportunity for me to just play footy and, you know, drive the All Black team -- and that was an opportunity that I really enjoyed, Barrett said.I felt quite composed doing it and I really did enjoy that game and a half [at No. 10].As for moving to fullback, as he did in the closing stages of New Zealands 46-6 triumph in Dunedin, Barrett said: [Smith] is a class player; getting pushed back to fullback, it opens my eyes up and theres a lot more time, spacee and freedom back there, and if its alongside Ben its pretty exciting.dddddddddddd But, yeah, I enjoy my time back there as well.[Acting as a replacement] certainly is part of development, playing footy is part of the development, and the time that I have had on the park [at Test level] has mostly been off the bench.But, yeah, Ive really enjoyed my opportunity starting and even if its going to full-back for the last part of the game Im really happy to do that. So theres different ways you can do it, but ultimately its just what works best for the team, and the coaches and selectors make those decisions.With the Test series put to one side, Barrett is now back at work with the Hurricanes as they seek a second straight appearance in the Super Rugby playoffs.Last weeks 37-27 over north island neighbours the Blues brought the Hurricanes within two points of the New Zealand conference lead while ensuring they continue to occupy a wildcard position.But they face a difficult road trip to Sydney for this weekends penultimate round before a final regular-season showdown with the Crusaders in Christchurch.A win over the Waratahs at Allianz Stadium on Saturday will be good enough to secure a semifinals spot; but having dropped their past two against NSW, and six of the last eight, it is anything but an easy assignment.Its going to be a huge challenge for us; both teams need to win, theres no hiding from that, Barrett told ESPN.Were aware of their strengths and theyve got plenty of X-factor, and power and strength in that forward pack as well. So its going to be a great game and were looking forward to it, were just going to have to take the opportunities that we get.We have to win that physical battle; theyve got some really big boys and you know [Hooper] is there, too.The breakdown; its going to be a huge, huge challenge for us to dominate that breakdown because both teams want to play footy and we know theyll do everything they can to slow us down and to give us poor quality ball, and well be doing the same. So whoever wins that battle will win the game. ' ' '
