| DOHA, Qatar - Third-seeded Tomas Berdych of Czech Republic beat Andreas Seppi 6-2, 6-3 Friday to set up a Qatar Open final against fourth-seeded David Ferrer of Spain.Berdych hasnt dropped his serve in four matches this week, winning all 34 service games played.Its four very good matches which Im happy with, Berdych said. Some of them were in the tough (sandstorm) conditions. Some of them were quite nice and pleasant, but, you know, now is the final. Thats the last one and the most important one to go.He saved three break points against Seppi to hold his nine service games in the semifinals.Ferrer defeated seventh-seeded Ivo Karlovic of Croatia 6-7 (2), 7-6 (5), 7-6 (4) in a match that featured no service breaks earlier Friday.It was a very mental match, said Ferrer, who now leads Karlovic 4-1 in career meetings. I think in the first set he was better than me. In the second and the third it was very close.Ferrer trailed 3-2 in the third-set tiebreaker, but Karlovic lost the next two points on his own serve to give the Spaniard control.Karlovic saved the first match point for Ferrer with a second serve ace, his 30th of the match and 97th of the tournament. Karlovic now has 9,092 career aces. He joined Goran Ivanisevic (10,183) and Andy Roddick (9,074) this week as the only three players in history to serve over 9,000 aces.Ivo, he is serving unbelievable this week, first and second serves, Ferrer said. He surprised me with the second serve because he was serving 199 kph with the second serve, and it was not easy to return him.Ferrer is looking to win his 22nd career singles title, while Berdych is seeking his 11th.

Today, we look back at the Roberto Luongo saga. One thought he was on the way out. The other thought he was staying. Two summers ago, Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo was ready and willing to accept a trade out of town. What transpired afterwards was a lengthy whirlwind of speculation on when and where he would go. And its not like the Canucks didnt try. The team spent a full year attempting to deal the Luongo - and the nine years remaining on his $64 million contract. But nothing came of it, and the franchise goaltenders showed his frustration after the Apr. 3 trade deadline passed without a new address. "My contract sucks," said Luongo. "Thats what the problem is...unfortunately it is a big (factor) in trading for me. Id scrap it right now if I could." The offseason brought speculation once more that the Canucks would have another shot at getting Luongo out. But after months of failed attempts, the Canucks surprised pretty much everyone in the hockey world and traded Schneider instead. Even Luongo was shocked by the decision, after accepting the idea that he was the one that was on the move. "I had moved on from Vancouver and I was ready to start a fresh new chapter of my career somewhere else," the three-time NHL All-Star told TSNs James Duthie. "t;It felt like a divorce, I accepted it and I had moved on personally.dddddddddddd "The only problem was she wanted me back." And Luongo was even more surprised that the team would make such a decision without talking to him. "Out of all the situations that I envisioned, that wasnt one of them," he said. "Thats a pretty big move, I thought, to make without having input from the guy youre going to put your trust in." Schneider also described the trade as shocking, adding that after several seasons of expecting to be moved out of Vancouver, he had finally begun to believe he would stay. Schneider, who spent years developing as the Canucks No. 1 prospect, felt he earned the starting job. "It was pretty stunning," Schneider told Duthie. "In this business you know you are always in the mix, you are always fair game. I really felt that having spent my entire career there, having been in the organization a long time, I was hoping to spend the rest of my career in Vancouver. But circumstances changed. Its one of those things where unfortunately it came down to this." And after weeks of more speculation about whether or not he would return to Vancouver, Luongo confirmed he would report to the Canucks training camp in September as the teams starting goalie. "I have a contract. I plan to honour it," Luongo told Duthie. Theres a lot at stake for me this year." wholesale jerseys authentic wholesale jerseys store cheap jerseys Cheap Jerseys china wholesale jerseys ' ' ' |
