MASON, Ohio—The semifinals of the Western & Southern Open will feature a
rerun of the mens Olympic bronze medal match between Novak Djokovic and Juan
Martin del Potro. Dwight Freeney Jersey . Djokovic and Del
Potro advanced in straight sets on Friday to set up the rematch from London. Del
Potro beat Djokovic on Wimbledons grass to win the bronze, the first of four
medals for Argentina. Theyll go at it again Saturday on the hard courts in
suburban Cincinnati. “He won that match,” Djokovic said. “It happens. You lose,
you win, but the most important thing is to try to move on and become even
better and even stronger from those experiences. And try to win.” Venus Williams
needed another grueling match—her third three-setter of the tournament—to
get past reigning U.S. Open champ Samantha Stosur 6-2, 6-7 (2), 6-4. Williams
has been coping better with an immune system disorder that causes fatigue, and
it has showed in her results this week. Her latest win lasted 2 hours, 33
minutes. The American raised both arms and jumped—kicking up her heels—
after the final point. “For me and everything thats gone on in my life, its a
huge achievement and I want to take it further,” said Williams, who is 8-1 in
three-set matches this season. While Williams deals with her condition, Del
Potro has been nursing a sore left wrist that hell have examined before the U.S.
Open, which he won in 2009. He beat Frances Jeremy Chardy 6-1, 6-3 on Friday.
The right-hander missed most of the 2010 season while recovering from surgery on
his right wrist. The doctor who performed that surgery will look at the other
one following the Cincinnati tournament. “The good thing: Im not getting worse,
so I can play,” he said. “But anyway, I want to wait (for) what the doctor says
because I have experience on my other wrist.” After winning his bronze, Del
Potro went to Toronto and got knocked out in the first round of the Rogers Cup.
Hes still trying to get his game back to a championship level. The rematch with
Djokovic on a hard court provides a good measure. “Im still feeling a little
difference between the top players and me,” he said. “But I know Im getting
closer very slowly, so thats important. Im working for that.” Djokovic reached a
Masters semifinal for the second straight week by knocking off Marin Cilic 6-3,
6-2. He won the Rogers Cup in Toronto last Sunday. The Serb was fresh on Friday,
having spent only a half-hour on court the previous day. Russias Nikolay
Davydenko had to quit after losing the first set 6-0 on Thursday night because
of a sore shoulder that interfered with his serve. “It was my best match so far
here in this tournament,” Djokovic said. “Came in the right moment, really.”
Top-ranked Roger Federer was scheduled for the night match. Rain interfered with
two singles matches Thursday night, forcing tournament organizers to juggle the
schedule. Sixth-seeded Caroline Wozniacki was down a set to Russias Anastasia
Pavlyuchenkova when the rains came. Pavlyuchenkova finished off a 6-4, 6-4 win
Friday morning, then had eight hours to rest before playing a quarterfinal match
against fourth-seeded Petra Kvitova. No. 9 Li Nas match against Swedens Johanna
Larsson was postponed before they could take the court Thursday night. Li needed
only 64 minutes to win 6-2, 6-2 on Friday morning, leaving her less than seven
hours to get ready for her quarterfinal match against top-seeded Agnieszka
Radwanska of Poland. Andrew Luck Jersey .  Leblanc earned

. Russell Westbrook had 19 points to lead the Thunder while Kevin Durant added
13. The Thunder stars played in the first half. Durant shot 5 of 10 from the
field, had two 3-pointers and two steals. Westbrook was 6 of 9 from the field
and had three assists. Coby Fleener Jersey . Representative Anthony
Weiner, a candidate for New York mayor in 2009, said the FBI is too busy with
more important crimes to spend time trying to determine if the ex-Yankees
pitcher lied to Congress about taking performance-enhancing substances. Pat Angerer Jersey . The team made the

undergo a thorough concussion-related exam at Rush University Medical Center on
Monday.Calgary, Alberta – Canadian Olympic Champion Eric Lamaze of Schomberg,
ON, topped a starting field of 55 entries to win the $32,000 RSA Cup during the
Spruce Meadows ‘Continental tournament on Thursday, June 14, in Calgary,
AB. Riding Coriana van Klapscheut, Lamaze posted a time of 68.25 seconds,
stopping the clock almost three seconds faster than his closest rival to take
his first victory of the season at Spruce Meadows.  Tim Gredley of Great Britain
came the closest to catching Lamazes time, crossing the timers in 71.08 seconds
riding Unex Chamberlain Z while Katie Dinan of the United States took third
place with a time of 71.93 riding Nougat du Vallet. In an event where speed is
the name of the game, Lamaze and Coriana van Klapscheut are hard to beat. “When
shes on like she was today, you can take all of the options and shes really
dependable about doing it,” said Lamaze of the 10-year-old Belgian Warmblood
mare (Darco x Heartbreaker) owned by the Ziegler familys Artisan Farms and
Lamazes Torrey Pines Stable.  “You never worry that youll turn too tight to the
fences and she wont see them.  Today she was fast and jumped really
well.” Lamazes win comes during the second week of competition during the Spruce
Meadows summer tournaments, which is rated a CSI4-WW competition by the
International Equestrian Federation (FEI). Reggie Wayne Jersey.  Lamaze felt that
Coriana van Klapscheut took the first week of competition at Spruce Meadows to
get back into top competitive form, having not competed since CSIO5 Madrid,
Spain, held May 17-20. “Normally she would do Rome and then come here, but her
last show was Madrid and that was a little too much time off for her,” explained
Lamaze of the mares competition schedule.  “She took last week here to settle
down, and I think she is going to have a good week.” Lamaze will continue to
compete with Coriana van Klapscheut in the 1.50m division throughout the
‘Continental tournament.  He will ride Verdi, his other entry in Thursdays
$32,000 RSA Cup, in the $200,000 CN Performance Grand Prix on Saturday, June 16.
 A 10-year-old grey Dutch Warmblood gelding (Heartbreaker x Mr. Blue) owned by
Artisan Farms and Torrey Pines Stable, Verdi is one of the horses Lamaze is
considering for this summers Olympic Games.  One week earlier, on June 9, Lamaze
placed second in the $200,000 CN Reliability Grand Prix riding Derly Chin de
Muze. Lamaze will continue competing throughout the summer tournaments at Spruce
Meadows in Calgary before returning to his European base in Vrasene, Belgium. ’
