Nick Kyrgios?picked up where he left off in Atlanta, cruising to victory in his opening match of the Cincinnati Masters.The Australian 14th seed took just 67 minutes to dispose of 22-year-old French world No.26 Lucas Pouille 6-2 7-5.The 21-year-old Aussie closed out the match with a forehand winner and his 16th ace of the match after breaking Pouille at 5-5 in the second set to give himself the chance to serve for the match.Kyrgios made no mistake. Indeed the Aussie went about his business with a minimum of fuss despite going on court very late and finishing the match after midnight.Throughout the affair Kyrgios pressed on the Pouille second serve and took chances when they were presented to him, winning three of four break points.Kyrgios has now won five matches straight, including his Atlanta title and will next face Croatian youngster Borna Coric in the second round.Kyrgios beat Coric 6-4 6-4 on the claycourts of Estoril earlier this year, in their only meeting to date.Corics countryman, 12th seed Marin Cilic also advanced with a 6-3 6-4 win over Serbias Viktor Troicki.Not so lucky was 10th seeded Spaniard David Ferrer, who was humbled 6-4 2-6 6-4 by French journeyman Julien Benneteau. American wildcards Jared Donaldson and Reilly Opelka continued their impressive form this US summer.Opelka defeated inconsistent world No.53 Frenchman Jeremy Chardy 3-6 7-5 7-6 (11-9), while Donaldson breezed past Spanish veteran Nicolas Almagro 6-3 7-6 (7-2).Both face tough second round matches though, Opelka to play Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Donaldson drawn to play Swiss second seed Stan Wawrinka. Grigor Dimitrov found some form to beat Frenchman Gilles Simon 6-1 6-3 while South African Kevin Anderson and Uruguays Pablo Cuevas also advanced to the second round. Vapormax 97 Blanche . Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team. That came on the heels of Bryan Murray taking the unusual step of going into the locker room at the Prudential Center and addressing the players himself.

Once again, DeLaet finished tied for second at a PGA Tour stop on the weekend, this time at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. The pride of Weyburn, Sask.INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana Pacers wont know until Saturday night whether point guard George Hill will start in Game 6 against New York. Hill participated in the teams morning shootaround, which is part of the process of passing his concussion test. But doctors had not yet cleared Hill to play. "He just did some work today. He looked fine, but he has to do more tests this afternoon," coach Frank Vogel said. "Theres a long list of things thats part of the NBAs protocol. Hes in the middle of that process. Hes not ruled out, not cleared to play. Hes a game-time decision." Vogel said he was preparing to play without Hill. Hill scored 26 points Tuesday night in Game 4 after a first-quarter collision with Knicks centre Tyson Chandler. Two days later, after the teams shootaround, Hill was still complaining of headaches. Team doctors then diagnosed him with a concussion, forcing him to sit out Game 5. His replacement, D.J. Augustin, played nearly 39 minutes and had no assists as the Pacers lost 85-75. The win allowed New York to climb back within 3-2 in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinals. Indiana gets a second chance to close out the series Saturday at home, where they are 5-0 in the post-season and have won all five games by double digits. Vogel has not said who will start Saturday if Hill does not play. "We prepare for guys to be out. D.J. Augustin, Ben Hansbrough. Lance (Stephenson) understands that he has to play some (point guard)," Vogel said. "Theyve prepared for that all year. . Mentally for those guys, knowing might help them a little bit." The Knicks arent sure what to expect, either. Coach Mike Woodson told reporters Friday that his team was preparing as if Hill would play. At Saturdays shootaround, Woodson explained he wasnt sure what to expect, thhough the Knicks couldnt let that affect them in Game 6.dddddddddddd "It doesnt matter who plays for them. Weve still got to do what we do. Its about what we do at this particular time," Woodson said. The NBAs protocol states that any player diagnosed with a concussion must be held out of all activities until he is symptom-free at rest and team doctors see no "appreciable" difference between the players baseline test conducted before the season and the test after the injury. Then the player must prove he is symptom-free as the level of exertion increases. Team doctors can determine whether the player passes, a decision that must be discussed with Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher, the NBAs director of the concussion program. The league has not established a timetable for how long players must sit out before returning because each injury is different. Sometimes, the recovery time is quick. Kobe Bryant, for instance, did not miss a game after breaking his nose and being diagnosed with a concussion in February 2012. "I know back in the day I took some blows and you couldve easily called it concussions. But hell, you just played," Woodson said. "Thats the policy and I think its a good policy because, again, this is still a basketball game and youve got to deal with your health. Thats more important." Leaving one looming question: Will the decision about Hill make a difference in this series? "Finding out literally an hour or two hours before the game (Thursday) is a rough spot to put a guy in. For all of us, really," Pacers forward David West said. "We had to change some of the things we were accustomed to doing, take some of Georges stuff out of the package. But again, were prepared. Had a good day yesterday, a good day today. Our focus is where it needs to be." ' ' '
