Crawford think a lot about last game. Inst Antworten

NEW YORK -- Madison Keys, seen by some as a future No. 1 player, was up against it in the third round of the US Open on Friday, trailing teenager Naomi Osaka 5-1 in the third set. But Keys rallied, found her forehand and regained her confidence to win 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (3).Was it the best comeback of her young career?For sure, she said in her on-court interview. Hands down.Keys, a 21-year-old from Rock Island, Illinois, is the No. 8 seed, her highest ever at a major. She avoided following No. 3 Garbine Muguruza as a surprising first-week victim.Osaka, an 18-year-old from Japan ranked No. 81, twice served for the victory in her first match against Keys, a semifinalist at the 2015 Australian Open. She couldnt finish off Keys, however, and was wiping away tears on court after she lost her fourth straight game to allow Keys to even the third set at 5-5.Osaka, who made it to the third round at both the Australian Open and French Open this year, was playing in just her third Grand Slam tournament and first US Open.Keys moves on to face two-time US Open runner-up and former No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki, who followed up her win over 2004 champion and No. 9 seed Svetlana Kuznetsova by defeating Monica Niculescu 6-3, 6-1.Once the No. 1-ranked player in the world, Wozniacki has plummeted to 74th after a series of losses and injuries. She is back in the round of 16 at a Grand Slam for the first time since Wimbledon in 2015.In the days last match, No. 2 Angelique Kerber ended 17-year-old American qualifier CiCi Bellis stay at the US Open, winning 6-1, 6-1 for her tour-leading 50th match victory of 2016.Kerber, who has a chance to overtake Serena Williams at No. 1 in the rankings at tournaments end, won the Australian Open in January for her first Grand Slam title, then was the runner-up to Williams at Wimbledon in July.Kerber moves on to face two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, a 6-3, 6-4 winner over Elina Svitolina.Also Friday, No. 7 Roberta Vinci, who stopped Serena Williams Grand Slam bid a year ago in New York, needed nearly two hours to top 102nd-ranked Carina Witthoeft 6-0, 5-7, 6-3.Both Vinci, the 2012 US Open doubles champion, and Wozniacki credited their past success at Flushing Meadows with helping them now.In the end, the head does a lot, said Vinci. If you think negatively, its hard to get out of tense moments. So I try to think about what I did last year, what Ive done in other years.No. 13 Johanna Konta upset 24th-seeded Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-1; and Anastasija Sevastova, the player who beat Muguruza in the second round, beat Kateryna Bondarenko 6-4, 6-1.No. 12 Dominika Cibulkova lost 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to Lesia Tsurenko.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Kahale Warring Texans Jersey . -- Ken Appleby made 32 saves for his first shutout of the season to lead the Oshawa Generals to a 2-0 win over the Belleville Bulls on Wednesday in Ontario Hockey League action.CHICAGO -- If Corey Crawford is feeling the pressure of being in his first Stanley Cup final, he isnt showing it. The Chicago Blackhawks goaltender cracked jokes about his glove hand and already seemed to be over his roughest start of these playoffs, when he was beaten five times on 33 shots by the Boston Bruins. He quipped that during the Western Conference final there was criticism of his blocker side so "both sides are bad, I guess." And even though a weakness was exposed, Crawfords confidence isnt shaken going into Game 5 Saturday night. "I think its something you have to learn from," Crawford said. "If that wouldve happened in junior, I think I wouldve been pretty deflated, and my confidence wouldve been pretty low. I think its something you build over time and something you learn from." It was no secret the Bruins kept shooting glove-side Wednesday, and the 26-year-old deflected the notion that he has a weakness that could derail Chicagos championship hopes. Crawford also acknowledged that adjustments might be necessary. Even this late in a run, its possible that he and goaltending coach Stephane Waite fix some mechanics before Crawford goes back in net. "Sometimes you need your goalie coach to look and see," Crawford said. "As a goalie, its tough sometimes to really know if youre fine, if theres nothing to change or if theres something to change. Sometimes you need that extra set of eyes to figure that out for you." His teammates tested him out at practice Friday. "I tried today and he stopped me glove side, so hopefully hes got it all figured out," left-winger Patrick Sharp said. "I dont know if that was the game plan or if thats something they did on purpose and they were successful at it, but I like Corey in there." So does coach Joel Quenneville, who insisted he was not considering replacing Crawford with backup Ray Emery, who hasnt played in almost two months. Crawford is the man for the Blackhawks. "In our room he hasnt taken any heat, so I dont know whats being said out there," defenceman Duncan Keith said. "You look at the job hes done all season for us, hes been great all year long. I thought we let in five, and they let in six. I mean, we won the game and well move on." Crawford moved on almost immediately. Rather than dissect how he gave up five goals in Game 4, he was "thrilled" about the victory and defenceman Brent Seabrooks game-winner. From the Bruins, there were plenty of denialss that they solved Crawford.dddddddddddd "I know were not skating down the ice thinking, Oh my God, if we dont go glove-side were not going to score. Nothing like that," forward Shawn Thornton said. "I think its just a bit of coincidence. Were trying to get pucks on net from everywhere and create traffic and wherever that rebound pops out, Im sure youre trying to put it in." That the Bruins put the puck in five times could make Crawford think a lot about last game. Instead, hes trying to keep excess worrying to a minimum. "Theres times when you think about a game more than others," he said. "But at this point, I really dont want to be thinking too much about the last game, whether it was good or bad." The last game wasnt good. But it was good enough to help Chicago tie the series at 2. Of course that did not mean Crawford was immune from criticism. "I think that the scrutiny of goaltending at any stage of the season is at a different level of any other player, and I guess its even more out there now that youre in the final," Quenneville said. "But Corey just seems to move forward whatever the challenge is, the next shot, the next game. Hes excited about the opportunity. Were excited about what he accomplished. He won a big game for us, and thats where were at." Crawford is there, too. Experience, he said, helped him realize that he cant let one bad performance affect his psyche. "Situations youve gone through -- a similar situation like that where you just collapse and you probably lose the game -- you just learn from that and dont feel like its the end of the world," he said. It could be the end of the line for the Blackhawks if the Bruins manage to light him up in the same fashion for the rest of the series. "I think you can score on other areas, hopefully, on Corey Crawford, than just the glove," Boston coach Claude Julien said. "At the end of the day youre looking to find ways to score goals, whether its cross passes, tips, screens or whatever, it doesnt really matter." As much as the Bruins had success beating Crawford in Game 4, one knows yet whether that will have a carry-over effect. "Thats the thing: Everyone thinks (theyre) going to shoot to the glove," Sharp said. "Its not like Corey can start cheating glove side, because those guys are such good shooters they can pick him apart. Who knows if thats a once-in-a-lifetime type of game of if theyve figured something out." ' ' '
