MELBOURNE, Australia - Milos Raonic tied a Canadian tennis record by reaching his third career Grand Slam quarterfinal with a 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 6-7 (7), 6-3 win over Spains Feliciano Lopez on Monday at the Australian Open. Brandon Fusco Jersey . Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., joins Robert Powell as the only other Canadian man to reach the quarter-finals at three major events (1908, 1910 and 1912 Wimbledon). Raonic made it to the Wimbledon semifinals last summer and reached the French Open quarter-finals in 2014. But he had never been past the fourth round in Melbourne. There was some great tennis played today and its only going to get better, said Raonic after the match. Its an exciting time for Canadian tennis, he added. Its great to see a lot of red and white at these matches. Its a pleasure to play. The eighth seed will next face top-seeded Novak Djokovic of Serbia, who posted a 6-4, 7-5, 7-5 win over Gilles Muller of Luxembourg. Raonic is the first Canadian man to make the quarter-finals in Melbourne since Michael Belkin did it back in 1968. Its great to be doing what Im doing and that it is making a difference, Raonic said. It is, I guess, part of some history, if you look really deep. But at the end of the day, Im always pushing myself for what I want to achieve. Im always looking in the mirror and saying, Thats who I have to compare myself to — to myself. In womens play, seventh seed Eugenie Bouchard of Westmount, Que., will play a Tuesday quarter-final against five-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova of Russia. Raonic needed to go five sets and more than three hours to beat Lopez, breaking for 5-3 in the final set and hammering home huge serves — including three aces in the final game — before an errant return from the Spaniard sealed the win. The 24-year-old Raonic finished with three breaks and 30 aces in a victory that also featured a massive 81 winners. Im happy with the attitude that got me through. I stayed calm even though things werent always panning out how I would have liked, he said. I missed a lot of break-point opportunities, but overall I cant complain too much. I fought my way through. Raonic improved his career record against Lopez to 2-2. He lost to the 14th-ranked Spaniard last summer in a Rogers Cup quarter-final in Toronto. Logan Paulsen Falcons Jersey . Louis Cardinals a hard-fought victory. The Colorado Rockies intentionally walked Yadier Molina with one out and runners on first and third to load the bases for Kozma. Isaiah Oliver Jersey .com) - The Winnipeg Jets placed defenceman Paul Postma on injured reserve Tuesday. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falcons-Isaiah-Oliver-Jersey/ . -- Albert Pujols is thrilled to have a reason to forget about his first two disappointing seasons with the Los Angeles Angels.EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Cleaning out their lockers and heading home for the off-season is going to be a very different experience for the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants.Neither team made the post-season. The similarity ends there.The Eagles (10-6) are walking away frustrated after closing out the season with a 34-26 win over the Giants on Sunday. The defending NFC East champions had a game lead in the division after beating Dallas on Thanksgiving and blew it with consecutive losses to Seattle, the Cowboys and Washington, ending their playoff hopes and making Sundays game meaningless.Overall, its bad, Eagles centre Jason Kelce said regarding the season that saw Philadelphia match its win total of a year ago. Were upset we didnt make the playoffs. Were happy to get a win today. The only thing we can take away is that were close to being a very, very good team. The Giants (6-10) are not a very good team. They have missed the playoffs three straight seasons and their win total is one less than a year ago.Its has many wondering whether coach Tom Coughlin is going to be fired. While the 68-year-old has led New York to two Super Bowl titles in 11 seasons — the last in February 2012 — missing the playoffs repeatedly tends to cost people their jobs.Were going to evaluate our team, just like we always do, said Coughlin, who has a year left on his contract. Well present our information of the pro personnel to the owners and if theres anything else, itll be initiated by ownership. Im going to go about my business until Im told otherwise.Eagles and Giants players are scheduled to meet on Monday for the final time this season.Its bittersweet, said Eagles receiver Jeremy Maclin, who will be a free agent after this season. It is frustrating that we are not going to be in the playoffs. We had every opportunity to get there. Its over. We cant go back in time.On Sunday, Mark Sanchez threw touchdowns to Jordan Matthews and Brent Celek, Trey Burton returned a blocked punt 27 yards for a score to lead the Eagles. Chris Polk also scored on a 1-yard run and Cody Parkey kicked two field goals.Odell Beckham Jr. capped a phenomenal rookie season for the Giants with 12 catches for a career-best 185 yards, including a 63-yard toucchdown. Atlanta Falcons Jerseys. Andre Williams scored on a 1-yard run and Josh Brown kicked four field goals for New York, which had a three-game winning streak snapped.Five things we learned from this meaningless game:SPECIAL EAGLES: The return of the blocked punt was the seventh touchdown by the Eagles special teams this season. It was their third return of a blocked punt for a TD. They also had two kickoff returns and two punt returns for TDs. Prior to this year the Eagles never had more than one blocked punt returned for a touchdown in a season. The last NFL team to have three blocked punt return touchdowns in the same season was the Rams in 1987.MORE BECKHAM: Beckham finished with team highs of 91 catches for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns in only 12 games. He missed the first four with a hamstring injury. The receptions and yards were rookie team records and the TD total tied the franchise rookie mark set by Bill Paschal in 1943. The first-round pick also tied Hall of Famer Michael Irvin (1995) as the only players in NFL history with at least 90 receiving yards in nine consecutive games. Imagine a full season.MANNING IMPROVES: A year after throwing a career-high 27 interceptions, Manning had 30 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. The 11-year veteran completed 28 of 53 for 429 yards, a touchdown and an interception on Sunday, finishing the year with 4,410 yards, his fourth 4,000-yard season.EAGLES OFFENSE: Chip Kellys offence broke a team record scoring 474 points, 32 more than last years mark. The Eagles also set team records with 54 touchdowns, 390 completions, 4,581 gross passing yards, eight 300-yard passing games and 356 first downs. What probably kept them out of the playoffs were 35 turnovers.JPP: Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul had two sacks and finished the season with 12 1/2, the highest total by a Giant since he had 16 1/2 in 2011. He is set to become a free agent after this season. While the 25-year-old said he would like to return, he isnt going to give the Giants a break.Do you get discounts? Pierre-Paul said. Do you get discounts when you go to Macys? You do if you have a discount coupon. I dont know. We will see what happens.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Hockey Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys China Wholesale Baseball Jerseys China Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys Near Me Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic MLB Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Throwback Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
