Chong Wei terus garang ke separuh akhir

KUALA LUMPUR - Datuk Lee Chong Wei menggembirakan ribuan penyokong dengan muncul wakil tunggal Malaysia melangkah ke separuh akhir, namun separuh daripada tarikan Terbuka Malaysia hilang kerana dia tidak akan menentang Lin Dan yang menarik diri.

Chong Wei, sebaliknya hanya akan bertemu pemain muda China, Chen Long pada separuh akhir hari ini selepas pertemuan yang diimpikan oleh seluruh peminat tidak menjadi kenyataan ekoran tindakan Lin Dan menarik diri dengan alasan kecederaan otot perut.

Juara Olimpik itu dikatakan mengalami kecederaan tersebut ketika latihan pagi semalam, bagaimanapun ia agak menghairankan kerana pemain China tidak kelihatan pada sesi latihan yang dijadual di Stadium Putra pukul 9 pagi.

Ketiadaan musuh tradisi mencerahkan peluang Chong Wei untuk merakam kejuaraan ketujuh Terbuka Malaysia dan semalam dia tidak menghadapi masalah untuk melepasi halangan jaguh Vietnam, Nguyen Tien Minh 21-15, 21-16.

Biarpun sedikit dikejutkan dengan ketinggalan 8-11 pada set pembukaan, namun Chong Wei dengan bantuan jurulatihnya, Datuk Misbun Sidek tidak menghadapi masalah untuk bangkit sebelum memenangi pertarungan dalam masa 40 minit.

"Saya tahu semua orang menunggu pertemuan saya dan Lin Dan, ia memang agak mengecewakan mereka apabila tidak dapat menyaksikan perlawanan itu tetapi untuk saya, tiada apa yang boleh dilakukan jika dia mahu menarik diri.

"Saya setuju dengan pandangan Taufik Hidayat (Indonesia), BWF (Persekutuan Badminton Dunia) kena mengambil serius perkara ini kerana ia bukan kali pertama Lin Dan menarik diri daripada kejohanan secara tiba-tiba apabila terpaksa berdepan rakan senegara sendiri.

"Saya tidak kata ia adalah perancangan atau plot China, saya tidak pasti tetapi perkara seperti ini kalau dibiarkan tidak bagus untuk sukan badminton. Semua peminat akan marah,'' kata pemain No. 1 dunia itu ketika ditemui sejurus tamat perlawanan.

Bagaimanapun tegas Chong Wei, sekali pun berjaya mengelak pertemuan dengan musuh tradisi yang telah mengalahkannya dalam dua perlawanan terakhir mereka - Piala Thomas dan Sukan Asia 2010, dia masih tidak melihat laluan di separuh akhir mudah kerana Chen Long juga adalah pemain yang sukar dijinakkan.

Tambahan lagi katanya, pemain muda China itu, yang masih segar dengan kejayaan menjuarai Terbuka China, Oktober lalu mempunyai kelebihan fizikal kerana mendapat rehat sehari ekoran kemenangan percuma yang dihadiahkan oleh Lin Dan.

Chong Wei, 29, dan Chen Long, 22, mempunyai rekod pertemuan seimbang. Dia mengalahkan pemain muda itu pada pertemuan terakhir mereka di Grand Prix Emas Terbuka Malaysia, Jun tahun lalu tetapi kalah ketika kali pertama bertemu di Terbuka India, Mac 2009.

Melengkapkan kuota separuh akhir perseorangan lelaki adalah dua pemain Indonesia, juara Olimpik 2004, Taufik Hidayat yang bakal berentap dengan Simon Santoso.

Taufik mudah mengetepikan naib juara All England, Kenichi Tago 21-15, 21-15, manakala Simon menundukkan rakan senegara, Alamsyah Yunus 21-19, 21-9.

Nadzmi jumpa Misbun hari ini

Oleh Norzie Mohd. Khasbi dan Zazali Jamian
sukan@utusan.com.my

KUALA LUMPUR - Selepas hampir sebulan berlarutan, kemelut antara jurulatih perseorangan negara, Datuk Misbun Sidek dan Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) bakal berakhir esok apabila ahli majlis badan badminton negara itu bersidang untuk mencari satu keputusan.

Bagaimanapun tempoh yang sebenarnya dianggap paling kritikal adalah hari ini, apabila Presiden BAM, Datuk Seri Nadzmi Mohd. Salleh mengadakan pertemuan terakhir dengan Misbun untuk berunding mengenai masa depan jurulatih, sebelum membawa hasil rundingan untuk dibincangkan oleh majlis.

Kata Nadzmi, beliau masih berharap krisis ini akan berakhir dengan nada positif, sambil melihat kehadiran Misbun di Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil untuk memberi sokongan kepada anak didiknya, Datuk Lee Chong Wei pada Terbuka Malaysia sebagai semangat yang baik.

"Saya belum sempat berjumpa beliau kerana baru pulang dari luar negara hari ini tetapi saya akan bertemunya esok kerana banyak perkara yang perlu dijelaskan oleh kedua-dua pihak sebelum mesyuarat majlis diadakan Ahad ini. Baik Misbun mahupun BAM perlu mempunyai gambaran yang betul.

"Saya masih percaya tiada masalah yang tidak boleh diselesaikan. Saya tidak pasti apakah hasil daripada rundingan dengan Misbun dan apakah keputusan akan dicapai di mesyuarat itu nanti, tetapi saya mengharapkan ia berakhir dengan sesuatu yang amat positif," ujar Nadzmi.

Tegas Nadzmi lagi, masalah perletakan jawatan Misbun harus ditangani daripada semua aspek kerana ia melibatkan kepentingan negara, bagaimanapun perkara paling penting buat majlis BAM adalah memahami aspirasi dan pemikiran jurulatih itu.

Begitupun Misbun juga perlu diperjelaskan mengenai matlamat perjuangan sebenar BAM kerana sebagai sebuah badan induk yang menaungi ramai pemain-pemain kebangsaan serta menggalas tanggungjawab melakukan program pembangunan, mereka juga mempunyai sistem dan cara yang mungkin kurang difahami.

Ketika ditanya apakah beliau lega kerana kemelut Misbun menghampiri penghujung, Nadzmi hanya berkata: "Saya memang mengharapkan perkara ini tidak berlarutan lebih lama kerana selepas ini kami ada banyak program yang memerlukan perlaksanaan.

"Saya memang gembira masalah ini akan berakhir segera tetapi lebih gembira jika ia berakhir dengan baik. Saya tidak kata masalah ini tidak merungsingkan saya, tetapi mungkin sebagai orang lama saya mempunyai kesabaran yang tinggi."

Mengulas keputusan pemain perseorangan negara, Muhammad Hafiz Hashim untuk meninggalkan pasukan kebangsaan, Nadzmi mengakui, isu juara All England 2003 itu lebih mudah berbanding Misbun.

Strategy of fun keeps Vegas in a tie for Hope Classic lead

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 06:33 PM PST

LOS ANGELES, Jan 22 — PGA Tour rookie Jhonattan Vegas looked like a seasoned campaigner as he stayed at the top of the leaderboard in the third round of the Bob Hope Classic at La Quinta, California today.

The happy-go-lucky, 26-year-old from Venezuela fired a flawless five-under-par 67 at the SilverRock Resort, which is rated the most difficult of the four venues hosting the five-round pro-am celebrity event.

Despite missing a four-foot birdie putt at the last, the straight-hitting Vegas ended another sun-splashed day in the Coachella Valley level with American Gary Woodland at 18-under 198.

Power hitter Woodland birdied five holes in a row on his outward nine before carding a sparkling eight-under 64 on the Nicklaus Private course at PGA West.

Australian left-hander Greg Chalmers returned a 65 at La Quinta Country Club to finish at 17 under, one stroke better than Britain's Martin Laird, who shot a 64 on the Palmer Private course.

Vegas, a graduate from the 2010 Nationwide Tour who is making only his fifth start on the PGA Tour, had no problems sleeping on a share of the second-round lead overnight.

"If it's something that I do well, it's sleep," he told reporters with a laugh after recording two birdies in his last six holes at SilverRock. "And leading a golf tournament is not going to cut into my sleep.

"It's always fun. You always feel excited about leading a tournament, especially a PGA Tour event for the first time. I'm just having a good time, enjoying it and just having fun."

Joint pacesetter overnight with American Boo Weekley, Vegas had just one regret after staying in a tie for the lead.

 "It was a great round today, I just wish I would have made a few more putts," said the Venezuelan, who moved to the U.S. in 2002 before playing at the University of Texas. "It was probably the best ball-striking round out of all three.

"I hit it to about 15 feet a bunch of times, and just wasn't able to make them (putts) as many times as I wanted."

Vegas, who cruised to a six-shot victory over Andres Romero at last year's Argentine Open, felt his experience of handling leads on the Nationwide Tour would help him over the weekend.

"I'm just going to keep doing what I've been doing, have fun," he added. "I'm just going to keep trying my best and hopefully with the best results."

Woodland, bidding for his first PGA Tour victory, was delighted with his sizzling start in ideal scoring conditions.

"The weather's perfect ... and I hit it well all day," the 26-year-old said after hitting 17 of 18 greens in regulation. "I got the ball below the hole and made some putts.

"I had a bunch of opportunities for birdies, I didn't make everything but I made nine of them, so that was good enough."

Weekley slipped down the leaderboard after carding a level-par 72 at SilverRock for a 13-under total, one stroke better than former world number one David Duval who returned a 69 on the Nicklaus layout. — Reuters

Solid Soderling dispatches Hernych in Melbourne sunshine

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 06:26 PM PST

MELBOURNE, Jan 22 — Fourth seed Robin Soderling eased effortlessly into the last 16 of the Australian Open with a methodical 6-3 6-1 6-4 trouncing of Czech qualifier January Hernych today.

The Swede racked up 33 winners in the bright sunshine on the Hisense Arena, and it was only repairs to a dead spot discovered on the court at the start of the third set that extended the contest to nearly two hours.

The oldest man left in the tournament, 31-year-old Hernych was playing in the third round of a grand slam for the first time in 19 attempts.

The world number 241 showed some pride with a gallant rearguard action in the third set but Soderling rarely needed to move out of first gear to keep intact his unbeaten record in 2011. — Reuters

... but City boss Mancini not bothered with Balotelli's non-stop controversial comments

Friday, January 21st, 2011 13:48:00

Football

TOO FAST AND FURIOUS: Mancini (left) insists he does not care about Balotelli's enduring capacity to hit the headlines. All the Manchester City manager is bothered about is getting his young striker fit

LONDON: Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini insists he has no problem with Mario Balotelli's liking for stirring controversy.

The outspoken Balotelli was at it again this week, declaring in an interview with new Italian newspaper Extra Time, that he was part of the best strikeforce in the world and that Wayne Rooney was not even the number one striker in Manchester.

Maybe it was not the wisest comment from a player who is again sidelined with a knee injury. But Mancini remains unconcerned.

"I haven't read the interview so I don't know what he has said. But he likes to joke sometimes and these things are jokes. We live in a free world. If someone wants to say something, it is better that he does. I respect every opinion.

"We are not in a war. We are free to say what we want."

Balotelli, also known as "Super Mario", is now in the United States stepping up his rehabilitation work on the injury he sustained over Christmas.

It could be another month before the Italian is in action again, when Mancini would like to see him perform to his potential on a regular basis.

"He is continuing to work and maybe he can come back to play in three or four weeks. It is important he shows his talent here. For his future it is important for him to improve and this is the best championship in the world," said Mancini.

Mancini said there had been no progress with any of the potential departures from Eastlands this month. Balotelli's impending return to fitness does make it more likely Emmanuel Adebayor will leave.

But a number of English options are unlikely to hold much appeal for the former Arsenal star and Real Madrid remain the most likely destination, with manager Jose Mourinho apparently keen for Adebayor to replace Gonzalo Higuain, who could miss the remainder of the season following back surgery.

Fulham also expressed definite interest in Shaun Wright-Phillips, although City are looking to ensure there is some commitment to a permanent transfer before they will allow the winger to link up again with old boss Mark Hughes.

Mancini did not entirely rule out the possibility of further purchases, even though club officials cautioned against it.

Meanwhile, veteran midfielder Patrick Vieira is certain City have a bright future because the team are packed with "winners".

After advancing to the FA Cup fourth round by beating Leicester on Tuesday, City will turn their attentions back to the Premier League tomorrow when they visit Aston Villa.

Although they remain outsiders to be crowned champions in May, it cannot be discounted given the form City have been in recently.

With the Europa League to play for as well, that long wait for a trophy seems to be drawing to an end.

And Vieira is adamant City will not be found wanting when it comes to the mental side of the game.

"We are a group of winners. You can have all the talent but if you don't have winners in your team it is really difficult to win something. But in every position, we have them. With those kinds of players, the fans can be proud. More importantly, the future looks really good," said the 34-year-old former Arsenal star.

Bent an asset for Villa, says Young

Posted: 20 Jan 2011 09:53 PM PST

Friday, January 21st, 2011 13:28:00

LONDON: Attacker Ashley Young described Aston Villa's capture of striker Darren Bent (above) from Sunderland as a massive signing for the Premier League strugglers.

Bent, who cost the Villans £18 million, is poised to make his debut in tomorrow's home clash with second-placed Manchester City.

"Bent will bring a lot to Villa. He scores goals, that's number one in his game, and he brings other attributes too. But if you do look at his record in front of goal it's very, very impressive," said Young.

"He's been the highest scorer in the Premier League for the past five years apart from Wayne Rooney and Didier Drogba. It's huge for us. He's a massive signing. Everyone is delighted that the club has been able to pull it off.

"I've come across him on international duty and know him really well. He's a top lad. I am sure he will add to what we've got here."

Young believes Bent will have no problem settling in at Villa.

"It's easy for anyone to fit in at our place because we have a terrific team spirit and a real bond. He'll be comfortable straight away. He'll fit in, no problem."

Bent, meanwhile, is hoping he can take over from Young as Villa's penalty-taker.

The 26-year-old missed only three spot-kicks in his entire career — all saved by Tottenham's Heurelho Gomes.

"I've tried to have banter with Young about the penalty situation. I'm sure we'll talk about it and hopefully I'll be able to get onto them.

"But there's nothing in my contract saying that I have to take penalties. If I can take them, I might let Young take them against Spurs!"

Cedera, Milito Absen Lawan Udinese

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 01:11 PM PST

MILAN - Inter Milan mendapat kabar buruk ditengah upayanya mengejar rival sekota AC Milan di puncak klasemen Serie A. Bomber andalan Diego Milito mengalami cedera dan harus menepi selama beberapa pekan.

Milito mengalami cedera, saat membantu Inter menundukkan Cesena pada laga tunda, tengah pekan kemarin. Bomber Argentina menyumbang satu gol dari kemenangan tipis 3-2, yang mengantar Nerazzurri melesat ke peringkat empat klasemen sementara.

Dalam laga tersebut, Milito memang tidak bisa bermain full. Bomber 31 tahun ini terpaksa ditarik keluar pada menit ke-20 karena mengalami masalah pada otot kaki kirinya. Setelah melakukan pemeriksaan, tim medis Inter menyarankan agar Milito beristirahat setidaknya selama satu pekan untuk menyembuhkan cederanya, demikian sebagaimana dikutip Football-Italia, Sabtu (22/1/2011).

Dengan kabar ini, maka pelatih Leonardo Araujo dipastikan tak bisa menurunkan Milito saat Inter bertandang ke Stadion Friulli, markas Udinese pada giornata ke-21 Serie A, Minggu (23/1/2011) malam WIB. Tak hanya itu, Milito juga terancam absen saat Inter melakoni laga perempat final Coppa Italia menghadapi Napoli, Kamis (27/1/2011) dini hari WIB.

Cedera ini merupakan yang kedua dialami Milito sepanjang musim ini, setelah sebelumnya sempat mengalami cedera yang sama di awal musim. Akibat sering absen, Milito sejauh ini baru memainkan 11 pertandingan sebagai pemain inti dan mencetak lima gol, kalah jauh dari tandemnya Samuel Eto'o yang telah mengemas 12 gol. (acf)

Nistelrooy Segera Gabung Madrid

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 12:10 PM PST

MADRID - Kabar mengejutkan datang dari Real Madrid. Klub kaya raya Spanyol ini kabarnya tinggal selangkah lagi mendapatkan servis mantan bombernya Ruud van Nistelrooy. Benarkah?

Kabar bakal kembali bergabung Nistelrooy ke Madrid dilontarkan oleh seorang presenter TV Real Madrid, Andy May. Melalui akun twitternya, May mengklaim bahwa striker Hamburg SV itu akan kembali ke Santiago Bernabeu dalam waktu dekat.

"Memang, semuanya masih belum resmi. Tapi, sepertinya RVN (julukan Nistelrooy-red) akan segera kembali ke #RealMadrid. Pantau terus realmadrid.com untuk mengetahui pengumuman resminya," tulis May dalam situs mikrobloggingnya andymaytvradio, seperti dikutip Goal, Sabtu (22/1/2011).

Sebelumnya, Jumat kemarin, harian olahraga Spanyol, Marca yang berbasis di Madrid, juga sempat mengklaim bahwa kubu Los Merengues telah mengajukan tawaran resmi sebesar 2 juta euro kepada Hamburg untuk meminjam jasa Nistelrooy hingga akhir musim. Namun, hingga kini pihak Hamburg belum memberikan jawaban.

Nistelrooy sendiri memang telah mengatakan bahwa dirinya ingin kembali ke Madrid, klub yang sempat dibelanya selama tiga setengah tahun (2006-2010). Bomber 34 tahun ini bahkan kabarnya sempat mengancam tidak akan memperpanjang kontraknya di Hamburg, bila keinginannya tidak dipenuhi. (acf)

Menpora Tidak Diundang PSSI

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 07:10 AM PST

Palembang (ANTARA News) - Menteri Pemuda dan Olahraga Andi Mallarangeng mengakui tidak diundang oleh Persatuan Sepak Bola Seluruh Indonesia (PSSI) untuk menghadiri kongres yang diselenggarakan di Bali, pada 21-23 Januari 2011.

"Saya tidak tahu dan tidak diundang oleh PSSI yang mengadakan kongres, justru saya mengetahui dari media massa dan internet," kata Menpora Andi kepada pers, di Palembang, Jumat.

Hal tersebut dikatakan usai dirinya mendampingi Wapres Boediono dan sejumlah menteri meninjau mengelilingi kompleks Gelora Sriwijaya Jakabaring, Palembang, yang akan digunakan untuk SEA Games ke-26.

Idealnya, kata Andi, setiap cabang olahraga yang akan mengadakan kongres memberitahukan ke Menpora, demikian juga hasil kongres harus dilaporkan.

"Saya sendiri juga perlu tahu apa yang menjadi kegiatan di kongres itu," kata Menteri.

Terkait sulitnya media memperoleh akses untuk peliputan kongres PSSI di Bali, Andi berharap bahwa hal itu tidak perlu terjadi dan pihak penyelenggara sebaiknya membuka kesempatan bagi wartawan.

Dia mengatakan, sepak bola adalah olahraga masyarakat dan sudah menjadi milik masyarakat serta populer di Indonesia, sehingga masyarakat berhak mengetahui apa yang terjadi dalam kongres itu.

Menteri memberi contoh, sejumlah cabang olahraga saja jika akan mengadakan kongres pasti mengundang wartawan, bahkan untuk beberapa cabang olahraga yang kurang populer kadang kesulitan mengundang wartawan untuk meliput.

"Jadi sebaiknya akses pemberitaan terbuka karena masyarakat berhak untuk mengetahui," katanya.

Terkait dengan tertutupnya kongres bagi masyarakat, Andi mengatakan sekali lagi bahwa sebaiknya akses pemberitaan bagi wartawan dibuka.(*)

Simon Jumpa Taufik di Semifinal Malaysia

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 05:59 AM PST

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Simon Santoso melanjutkan langkahnya pada turnamen berhadiah 400 ribu dolar AS, Malaysia Terbuka Super Series, dengan maju ke semifinal bertemu unggulan kedua Taufik Hidayat.

Pada pertandingan perempat final yang digelar di Putra Stadium, Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Jumat petang, Simon meraih kemenangan atas pemain Indonesia lainnya Alamsyah Yunus 21-19, 21-9.

"Game pertama saya mendapat tekanan lebih dulu sejak poin-poin awal, dan saya mainnya sedikit lambat sehingga dikendalikan terus-menerus oleh lawan," ujar Simon mengenai game pertama saat ia sempat tertinggal dan meraih kemenangan ketat 21-19.

Sementara unggulan kedua Taufik Hidayat mengalahkan pemain Jepang Kenichi Tago 21-15, 21-15.

"Besok saya akan bermain sebaik mungkin," kata Simon mengenai pertemuannya kembali dengan mantan rekan latihannya di Pelatnas Cipayung itu.

"Memang tidak mudah mengalahkan Taufik, makanya saya akan bermain sebaik mungkin dan tanpa beban," tambah pemain peringkat 27 dunia yang mengalahkan Taufik di Malaysia Super Series 2008 namun kalah dalam pertemuan terakhir di Indonesia Super Series 2010.

Semifinal tunggal putra lainnya akan mempertemukan pemain China Chen Long dengan pemenang pertandingan antara unggulan teratas Lee Chong Wei dari Malaysia dengan pemain Vietnam Nguyen Tien Minh, setelah Chen menang tanpa tanding karena lawannya di perempat final yang juga rekan senegaranya, Lin Dan mengundurkan diri.

Ganda putra unggulan keenam Bona Septano/Mohammad Ahsan juga maju ke babak empat besar setelah mereka mengalahkan pasangan Korea Cho Gun Woo/Kwon Yi Goo 21-17, 21-15 hanya dalam 31 menit.

Mereka akan memperebutkan tempat di final dengan pemenang antara unggulan kedua Ko Sung Hyun/Yoo Yeon seong dari Korea melawan unggulan kelima asal China Chai Biao/Guo Zhendong yang tampil pada partai terakhir Jumat malam.

"Kalau dengan pasangan Korea itu saya pernah kalah di Hong Kong (Super Series 2010), sedangkan yang China, mereka pasangan baru jadi belum bisa ditebak mainnya," ujar Bona mengenai calon lawan mereka di semifinal.

"Tetapi saya lebih berharap Korea yang menang biar bisa balas dendam," tambahnya.

Adapun langkah satu-satunya tunggal putri Indonesia yang tersisa, Linda Weni Fanetri dihentikan pemain China unggulan ketiga Wang Yihan dengan kekalahan 9-21, 19-21.

Unggulan ketiga ganda putra Alvent Yulianto/Hendra Aprida Gunawan juga harus pulang setelah dikalahkan pasangan Denmark Mads Conrads-Petersen/Jonas Rasmussen 16-21, 19-21.(*)

Venus Williams early injury pullout from 3rd round

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 04:23 AM PST

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) - Venus Williams lasted just seven points in her third-round match Friday at the Australian Open, forced to withdraw due to injury from a Grand Slam singles match for the first time in her career.

After losing the first game to Andrea Petkovic of Germany and trailing in the second, Williams stretched to her right to return a serve, hit the ball and then cried out in pain, clutching toward her stomach on her right side. It was soon clear that she couldn't continue.

"Obviously I just couldn't play," Williams said. "I couldn't move, it was too painful."

Her right thigh was already heavily bandaged from an injury she sustained in the first set of her second-round match Wednesday, when she beat Sandra Zahlavova in three sets. Afterward, Williams said the injury was in her "psoas" muscle, which flexes the hip and spinal column.

"The last 48 hours, I just did as much pain management as I could," she said. "A lot of times when you play, you get that adrenalin and that blocks pain. I just didn't get enough of that today. I was hoping for some magic that I could recover."

Williams, 30, waved to the Rod Laver Arena crowd and appeared to be on the verge of tears as she walked off the court. Her younger sister, defending champion Serena, didn't even make it to Melbourne Park because of a foot injury.

"It's super disappointing because this is just not how I envisioned my Australian Open being," Venus Williams said. "But I have peace of mind that I really gave more than my best to be out there."

"I'm just going to focus obviously on getting healthy and coming back, because I love tennis and I've got a lot of great tennis in me. I love my job, so no end in sight."

Petkovic was surprised by the sudden end to the match.

"I feel very weird about how the things went," said Petkovic. "It's a pity, and I feel very sorry. I just hope she gets better - she's such a great champion."

Justine Henin departed the tournament a lot sooner than she expected, too, but No. 1-seeded Caroline Wozniacki is still around, providing entertainment on and off the court.

Henin, the 2010 finalist, was beaten by two-time Grand Slam winner Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-4, 7-6 (8) in a mild third-round upset, while Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick and Maria Sharapova all advanced.

Wozniacki provided as much fanfare in her post-match media conference as she did during her 6-4, 6-3 win over Dominika Cibulkova.

Pretending to be irritated at being considered "boring" by some critics, she came prepared with a monologue to answer any question that might be asked about the match, and then some.

"I always gave the same answers," Wozniacki said. "I find it quite funny because I always get the same questions, so I'm just going to start with the answer."

What transpired was one of the funniest schticks ever to grace the tiered news conference room under Rod Laver Arena. Once she got the usual match comments out of the way, Wozniacki had a chance to be asked about global warming, her prowess on the piano, the game of cricket and what she's looking for in a boyfriend.

"Hopefully this was a little bit different than usual, and now you can maybe give me some questions that are a little bit more interesting," the 20-year-old Wozniacki said.

Henin and Kuznetsova didn't have much fun following Wozniacki on the court.

Kuznetsova twice had chances to serve out the match but Henin broke her both times.

Henin was only weeks into a comeback from a career break from the tour when she lost the final last year to Serena Williams, the third time in four appearances that she'd reached the championship match at Melbourne. Her comeback season was derailed when she injured her right elbow at Wimbledon and didn't play again in 2010.

"There's no excuse, even if I know I'm not at 100 percent, she was better than me today," Henin said in remarks translated from French. "I made way too many errors."

It was Henin's first loss in a major to Kuznetsova, the former French and U.S. Open champion, and her worst run at a Grand Slam event since Wimbledon in 2005.

Sharapova, who won the 2008 Australian women's title, struggled to a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 win over Julia Goerges of Germany. French Open champion Francesca Schiavone of Italy also won, beating Monica Niculescu of Romania 6-0, 7-6 (2).

No. 9 Li Na of China, who reached the semifinals last year before losing in two tiebreaker sets to eventual champion Serena Williams, advanced 6-2, 6-1 over Barbora Zahlavova Strycova.

Schiavone and Kuznetsova, who will play each other in the fourth round, had what Kuznetsova called a misunderstanding after a Fed Cup match won by Italy over Russia.

"We didn't talk for some time, I didn't shake her hand," Kuznetsova said. "So after we spoke in the locker room ... we are completely over it. I said sorry or whatever."

Federer was back to his vintage best, beating Xavier Malisse 6-3, 6-3, 6-1. While the defending champion also won in straight sets in his opening-round match against Lukas Lacko, he was extended to five tough sets against Gilles Simon in the second round, a near five-hour match that Federer said he was he relieved to survive.

On Friday at Rod Laver Arena, there was no such drama for the second-seeded Swiss star who is chasing his fifth Australian title.

It took him 1 hour, 45 minutes to beat Malisse and earn an Open Era-record 57th match win at the Australian Open, breaking Stefan Edberg's record.

"I'm OK today, and I'm happy I was able to come through it," Federer said. "Surely it's not the easiest thing to come back after a five-setter, but I managed. I'm sure that another day of rest is going to do me good."

Federer will play Tommy Robredo, who beat Ukraine's Sergiy Stakhovsky 5-7, 6-2, 6-4, 6-2.

Roddick overcame a slow start before powering to victory with 32 aces to beat Robin Haase 2-6, 7-6 (2), 6-2, 6-2. The eighth-seeded Roddick is seeking to win his second Grand Slam nearly seven years after his first - the 2003 U.S. Open.

Haase received treatment on for an ankle early in the first set, having it heavily taped after appearing to stumble on a shot.

The trainer was back out at the end of the set for Haase, who broke Roddick's serve twice.

The Dutchman, despite the injury, made the shot of the tournament so far, chasing down a Roddick lob and hitting a flick backhand over the net while facing the back of the court. Haase won the point two shots later, only to eventually lose the match.

"He was playing great early on," Roddick conceded. "The biggest thing was just to turn it around in the second set."

Djokovic only had to play one set in the third round to advance. The 2008 Australian Open champion was leading Viktor Troicki 6-2 when his Serbian Davis Cup teammate retired due to a stomach muscle strain.

Djokovic will play No. 14 Nicolas Almagro, who beat No. 17 Ivan Ljubicic 6-4, 7-6 (8), 6-3.

"It's not really the way you want to win, especially if you're playing against one of your best friends," Djokovic said.

Ninth-seeded Fernando Verdasco advanced with a 6-2, 6-4, 6-3 win over Kei Nishikori of Japan and will play Tomas Berdych in the fourth round. The sixth-seeded Berdych beat Richard Gasquet of France 6-2, 7-6 (3), 6-2.

Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland beat 12th-seeded Gael Monfils 7-6 (4), 6-2, 6-3, breaking the French player in the last game. Warwinka will play Roddick in the fourth round.

Vegas, Weekley share lead at Bob Hope Classic

Posted: 20 Jan 2011 10:28 PM PST

LA QUINTA, California (AP) - Venezuelan rookie Jhonattan Vegas shot a 5-under 67 in windy conditions Thursday for a share of the second-round lead with Boo Weekley at the Bob Hope Classic.

Weekley had a 66 to match Vegas at 13-under 131 in the 90-hole tournament on four Palm Springs-area courses. Charles Howell III (66) and Chris Couch (65) were a stroke back.

Although Vegas, 26, bogeyed his final hole on the Nicklaus Private course, he leads the field with 17 birdies. With power and accuracy off the tee, Vegas used an improved short game to get on top early in just his fifth PGA Tour event.

"It's good to be hitting the ball well and putting well, especially on a course like these ones where you've always got a lot of birdie opportunities," said Vegas, who played at the University of Texas before excelling on the Nationwide Tour last year.

Although many pros still don't know him - Weekley had never met Vegas before they shook hands in the media tent after the second round - others already call him "Jhonny Vegas." As for the unique spelling on his birth certificate, Vegas realizes it might take a while to catch on.

"I'm happy they did it that way, because it's something different," Vegas said. "I mean, you only see one Jhonattan spelled that way, so once you see it, you know that it's me."

Vegas moved to the United States in 2002, spending nearly two years improving his English enough to attend college. He became the first Venezuelan to earn a PGA Tour card last year.

The sport is viewed with a raised eyebrow in Venezuela by President Hugo Chavez, who calls it a pastime of the rich. In hilly Caracas, the government has threatened to replaced golf courses occupying valuable areas of flat land with housing that will be less vulnerable to rain and mudslides.

"I'd love the chance to tell people about golf in Venezuela," said Vegas, whose father runs a catering company. "(Chavez) has always said that golf is for elite people, I guess, and as we all know here, it's not that way. But I guess he's got that mentality, so I really hope to sit down with him and talk to him, and tell him it's not that way."

Chavez made the cut at last week's Sony Open in Hawaii, although he didn't get to play Sunday due to the weather-shortened field. He got off the islands in time to survey all four courses in Palm Springs before Wednesday's opening round.

The Hope Classic typically is dominated by low scores, and both leaders won't be surprised if the winner of the five-round event checks in at 30 under.

"We've played two of the easier courses, me and Mr. Vegas, so it just all depends on what can happen tomorrow," Weekley said. "I feel like I can go out there and shoot 3 or 4 under, keep myself in the hunt ... and still have a chance somewhere down the line there."

Weekley birdied his final two Nicklaus holes, wrapping up a sharp round on perhaps the tournament's easiest course. The veteran changed putters after finishing in 27th-place tie at the Sony Open in Hawaii last week, and the switch already has produced remarkable results.

"To 12 feet, 15 feet, I feel like I can make it," Weekley said. "I would say for about the last year, I ain't felt that in a while. I was hoping that this would happen."

Howell shot his second 66 of the tournament, while Couch made three birdies on his final four holes. Keegan Bradley and Brian Davis are two strokes off the lead at 133, while 29 players - including David Duval and Matt Kuchar - were within five strokes of the lead.

Ranieri: Roma Bisa Raih Scudetto

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 06:33 PM PST

ROMA, KOMPAS.com - Pelatih AS Roma, Claudio Ranieri, tetap optimistis timnya bisa meraih scudetto musim ini. Meski sulit, dia antusias untuk mengatasi kesulitan itu.

Roma kini berada di urutan kelima klasemen sementara, tertinggal enam poin dari AC Milan di puncak. Mereka baru saja mencatatakan kemenangan di lima pertandingan dari semua kompetisi.

Berbicara jelang pertandingan lawan Cagliari, Sabtu atau Minggu (23/1/2011) dini hari WIB, Ranieri mengatakan, "Cagliari tim yang sulit dikalahkan karena mereka selalu bermain habis-habisan saat melawan tim besar. Ini akan menjadi pertandingan sulit. Tapi, saya suka hal-hal yang sulit. Saya selalu memasang target setnggi mungkin dan melakukan apa pun yang bisa dilakukan."

Tentang perburuan scudetto, dia menjelaskan, "Tanpa meremehkan Milan, bagi saya Inter adalah lawan utama yang harus ditaklukkan. Pelatih leonardo telah sukses membangkitkan antusiasme tim dan kami akan terlibat persaingan panjang dengan mereka."

Ranieri memiliki problem dengan beberapa pemainnya, terutama kapten Francesco Totti. Namun, menurutnya itu hal biasa dan dia bisa teguh pada keyakinan dan sikapnya.

"Setiap pelatih harus punya karakter kuat di depan segalanya. Saya selalu menjadi diri sendiri. Saya tak yakin punya hubungan buruk dengan pemain. Untuk menjawab hal ini, tanyakan kepada pera pemain, bukan saya," tegasnya. (FBI)

Buffon Mau Bertahan

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 05:56 PM PST

TURIN, KOMPAS.com - Kiper Juventus, Gianluigi Buffon, mengaku belum mempertimbangkan gantung sarung tangan. Meski begitu, menurutnya, sampai saat itu tiba, ia berharap tak berpindah klub.

"Cinta luar biasa dari pendukung kepadaku adalah sesuatu yang tak bisa selalu Anda dapat. Aku berharap melanjutkan sisa karierku di sini, di Juventus," ujar Buffon.

Pernyataan itu merupakan tanggapan terhadap media-media Italia yang menyebut Buffon bakal pindah ke Manchester City atau Manchester United, akhir musim ini.

Pemberitaan itu sendiri berkaitan dengan absennya Buffon setidaknya selama paruh pertama musim ini akibat cedera punggung. Selama itu, Juventus mengandalkan kiper Marco Storari.

Namun, begitu Buffon siap tampil, manajer Juventus, Luigi Del Neri memberinya kesempatan, yaitu pada dua laga terakhir, melawan Catania di Piala Italia dan Bari di Serie-A.

Keputusan Del Neri direspons media Italia dengan memberitakan Storari mempertimbangkan pindah ke Genoa. (SCN)

Namun, segala-galanya berubah selepas jaguh dari Tembok Besar China itu membuat keputusan untuk menarik diri daripada beraksi pada peringkat suku akhir semalam.

Keputusan tersebut menyaksikan seorang lagi pemain China, Chen Long yang dijadual berdepan Lin Dan pada aksi suku akhir itu, diberikan kemenangan percuma sekali gus mara ke peringkat separuh akhir.

Ini bermakna, bukan Lin Dan yang menjadi lawan Chong Wei pada aksi separuh akhir tetapi Chen Long.

"Saya terkejut dengan keputusan Lin Dan itu tetapi semuanya sudah berlalu.

"Memang pertemuan ini akan menjadi perlawanan tumpuan serta dinanti-nantikan.

"Namun, apa boleh buat dia (Lin Dan) telah menarik diri selepas dikatakan mengalami masalah kecederaan," kata Chong Wei.

Terdahulu, Chong Wei mara ke peringkat separuh akhir selepas mencatatkan kemenangan ke atas pemain Vietnam, Nguyen Tien Minh 21-15, 21-16 pada aksi suku akhir.

Mengulas mengenai pertemuannya dengan Chen Long, Chong Wei berkata: "Chen Long merupakan pemain yang agresif.

"Jadi... saya perlu lebih berhati-hati dengan corak permainannya.

"Namun, saya tidak mahu terlalu memikirkan mengenai Chen Long kerana bagi saya apa yang lebih penting adalah prestasi diri saya sendiri," katanya.

Status KLHC mula tergugat

PENYERANG Maybank, Hairul Nizam (kiri) berjaya melepasi dua pemain KLHC, Razie Rahim (tengah) dan Kevinder Singh pada aksi LHM 2010/11 di Stadium Hoki USM, petang semalam.


STATUS Kelab Hoki Kuala Lumpur (KLHC) sebagai pendahulu Liga Hoki Malaysia (LHM) 2010/11 mula menerima tamparan apabila juara bertahan itu diikat seri 2-2 oleh Maybank pada aksi di Stadium Hoki Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Pulau Pinang petang semalam.

KLHC sebelum ini diramal mampu memenangi tiga mata dengan mudah ke atas Maybank, pasukan yang berada tangga ketujuh liga sebelum ini, namun sebaliknya juara bertahan itu hampir dikejutkan oleh aksi cemerlang skuad 'sang belang' itu.

Kedudukan KLHC kini kian tergugat sekiranya pencabar terdekat, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) mampu mengutip tiga mata ke atas Yayasan Negeri Sembilan (YNS) petang ini.

Namun, jurulatih KLHC, Muhd. Dharma Raj Abdullah tidak begitu bimbang, malah tetap berpuas hati biarpun anak buahnya hanya mampu mengutip satu mata.

"Bagi saya satu mata lebih baik daripada tidak mendapat apa-apa. Mungkin ia agak mengejutkan kami gagal mengutip mata penuh tetapi saya tidak berapa bimbang tentang kehilangan dua mata ini," kata Muhd. Dharma semalam.

"Cuaca panas mungkin menjadi antara faktor aksi kami agak longlai kali ini. Saya juga tidak pasti sampai bila jadual perlawanan pukul 3 petang ini akan diteruskan, namun apa yang saya tahu ia tidak begitu sesuai bagi pemain beraksi di bawah panas terik ini.

"Apa pun, keputusan seri bukanlah penamat bagi kami, tetapi sekurangnya-kurangnya ia satu peringatan kepada kami bahawa persaingan sudah semakin sengit ketika memasuki baki separuh saingan liga," ujarnya lagi.

Pada aksi semalam KLHC mendahului 1-0 hasil jaringan Ismail Abu pada minit ke-9, namun Maybank menyamakan kedudukan pada minit ke-25 menerusi Hairul Nizam.

Kemudian Maybank pula mendahului 2-1 pada minit ke-31 apabila Ridzuan Nasir berjaya menewaskan penjaga gol KLHC, Kairulnizam Ibrahim.

Belum sempat Maybank berasa selesa dengan kedudukan tersebut, KLHC pula menyamakan kedudukan 2-2 menerusi Tengku Ahmad Tajuddin hasil pukulan sudut penalti.

Kedudukan tersebut kekal sehingga babak kedua berakhir.

Sementara itu, perlawanan lain menyaksikan Sapura mencatat kemenangan ketiga dalam tujuh perlawanan setakat ini dengan membelasah YNS 6-1.

Gol Sapura dijaringkan oleh Rodzhanizam Radzi (40, 44, 57) Redzuan Ponirin (9), Jiwa Mohan (65) dan Ahmad Kazamirul (67) manakala pemain import dari Pakistan, Shakeel Abbasi menghadiahkan gol saguhati kepada YNS.

Uzbekistan Melaju ke Empat Besar
Okdwitya Karina Sari - detiksport


Doha - Uzbekistan berhasil menumbangkan Yordania dengan skor tipis 2-1 di laga delapan besar. Hasil ini mengantar tim berjuluk White Wolves itu ke babak semifinal untuk kali pertama.

Pertandingan antara Uzbekistan versus Yordania di Khalifa International Stadium berakhir pada Sabtu (22/1/2011) dinihari WIB. Hingga babak pertama di tutup kedua kubu masih imbang tanpa gol.

Namun di babak kedua, Uzbekistan tampil gemilang dengan dua gol cepat Ulugbek Bakaev yang dicetaknya dalam waktu tiga menit saja.

Gol pertama Uzbekistan lahir di menit 46. Gol tersebut terlahir berkat kerja sama Bakaev dengan sang kapten Server Djeparov.

Tiga menit kemudian, Jasur Khasanov mengirim bola mendatar ke area penalti Yordania, dan Bakaev yang menerimanya langsung melepaskan sepakan kaki kiri dan menaklukkan kiper Amer Shafi untuk kali kedua.

Yordania memperkecil ketertinggalannya di menit 58. Sundulan Shadi Abu-Hashhash dari pojok bisa ditepis oleh kiper Ignativ Nesterov namun Bashar Bani Yaseen langsung menyambar bola dan gol!

Peluang lain diperoleh Uzbekistan di tujuh menit menjelang bubar. Namun sepakan Sanjar Tursunov masih melebar. Skor akhir 2-1 untuk kemenangan Uzbekistan bertahan hingga laga bubar.

Kemenangan ini membawa Uzbekistan ke semifinal dan akan melawan pemenang laga antara Australia dengan Irak.

Ini adalah langkah terjauh yang dapat dicapai Uzbekistan sepanjang keikutsertaannya di ajang Piala Asia. Sebelumnya prestasi terbaiknya hanya sampai babak perempatfinal.

Denda Rp 115 juta buat Rafael Da Silva
Okdwitya Karina Sari - detiksport


London - Rafael Da Silva tidak mendapat sanksi skorsing tambahan atas aksi protesnya terhadap wasit saat tampil di laga versus Tottenham Hotspur. Bek Manchester United itu hanya dikenai denda.

Di pertandingan itu, Rafael diusir dari lapangan setelah menerima kartu kuning kedua akibat menganjal Benoit Assou-Ekoto. Tak terima dengan keputusan itu, bek berusia 20 tahun ini meluapkan emosinya kepada wasit Mike Dean yang memimpin laga.

FA lantas menjatuhkan dakwaan tindakan tidak patut kepada Rafael. Si pemain menerima dakwaan tersebut dengan mengaku bersalah dan meminta maaf atas protes kerasnya itu.

Dilansir dari Yahoosports, dalam hearing yang dilaksanakan Jumat (21/1/2011) waktu setempat, diputuskan bahwa Rafael hanya diperingatkan atas aksi buruknya itu. Pesepakbola Brasil ini juga dikenai denda senilai 8000 poundsterling atau sekitar Rp 115 juta.

Rafael yang akan absen di satu laga MU melawan Birmingham akhir pekan nanti tidak akan menerima skorsing lebih panjang. Ia akan kembali available untuk memperkuat timnya saat melawan Blackpool di laga tengah pekan depan.
