Caroline Wozniacki,Dominika Cibulkova Into Sydney Quarters

Top-ranked Caroline Wozniacki came back from 4-0 down in the final set to beat Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia 7-5, 2-6, 6-4 Tuesday and advance to the quarterfinals at the Sydney International.
The match ended on a line call that was ruled in and later, on video review, shown to be out by a few millimeters, giving Wozniacki victory on her second match point.

Wozniacki, who was No. 1 for all but one week of last year, has achieved the top ranking without having won a Grand Slam. The Danish player’s best finish in four appearances at the Australian Open, which begins next Monday, was the semifinals last year.
“I thought I had lost the match,” Wozniacki said of her big third-set deficit Tuesday. “I decided to play free, not care about the score anymore, and it worked out.”
Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, ranked No. 2 and in position to overtake Wozniacki for the top spot with a win at Sydney, also struggled against an unseeded opponent before advancing to the quarterfinals with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-4 win over Alexandre Dulgheru of Romania.
Kvitova used a strong serve to set up an easy crosscourt forehand at the net to the open corner for the win on her first match point.
In other second-round matches, French Open champion Li Na beat Channelle Scheepers of South Africa 2-6, 6-4, 6-1 and seventh-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland defeated Andrea Petkovic of Germany 7-5, 6-4.
Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia, beaten by Kaia Kanepi of Estonia in the Brisbane International final last Saturday, defeated 2010 French Open champion Francesca Schiavone of Italy 7-5, 6-1. On Monday, Schiavone beat U.S. Open winner Samantha Stosur of Australia in the first round.
Former U.S. Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova withdrew from her match against Lucie Safarova while down 6-1, 2-0, citing heat illness.
In men’s matches, eighth-seeded Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic defeated Xavier Malisse of Belgium 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-4 and Julien Benneteau of France beat Italian Andreas Seppi 6-3, 6-4.
Fifth-seeded Viktor Troicki of Serbia played former No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt later Tuesday.

Sabine Lisicki Bows Out In Auckland With Back Injury

A back injury forced top-seeded Sabine Lisicki to retire from her quarterfinal match at the ASB Bank Classic, compromising her preparation for the Australian Open.
The 15th-ranked Lisicki was trailing unseeded German compatriot Angelique Kerber 6-4, 4-3 in a quarterfinal on Thursday when she made the decision to withdraw. The 22-year-old had looked in discomfort throughout the match and left the court after the first set to receive treatment.
Kerber, who upset fifth-seeded German Julia Goerges in the second round— when Goerges was affected by an illness—will face fourth-seeded Flavia Pennetta in Friday’s semifinals. Pennetta beat Elena Vesnina 6-2, 6-1 in her quarterfinal.
The other semifinal will be between third-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova and China’s Zheng Jie.
Former U.S. Open champion Kuznetsova beat Italy’s Sara Errani 6-4, 6-3, and the Russian has not dropped a set in the tournament.
Zheng was equally impressive, taking only 59 minutes to beat Lucie Hradecka of the Czech Republic 6-2, 6-3. Hradecka had ousted second-seeded Peng Shuai of China in the second round, but was unable to match Zheng’s faultless performance.
“I’ve played against Lucie a few times and I knew she liked to play aggressive so I wanted to move her around and it worked very well,” Zheng said.
Lisicki looked well below her best from the start of her match Thursday. While she hit the ball strongly, she moved gingerly and lacked confidence in her serve.
She fell behind 3-0 at the start of the first set, won back the break then lost serve again to trail 5-3 and to give Kerber the chance to serve for the set.
Lisicki broke for 5-4 but immediately dropped serve for a third time to lose the set in just over 40 minutes. She left the court for a lengthy injury break and returned still looking uncomfortable and impeded in her movement.
Lisicki was still able to gain an early service break to lead 3-2 in the second set, but after losing the next two games she signaled to Kerber and the umpire than she couldn’t continue.
“Sure, a win is a win,” Kerber said. “I don’t know what happened to Sabine. I hope she will be ready for Melbourne.
“I feel very good at the moment and I’m just trying to play my best tennis.”
The Australian Open begins on Jan. 16 and Lisicki is likely to head directly to Melbourne to continue her preparation for the year’s first Grand Slam tournament.
Pennetta, who has yet to drop a set at the Auckland tournament, brushed aside Vesnina in only 68 minutes, converting six of 13 break points. The Italian was a finalist in Auckland in 2010 and was too strong for Vesnina, who was the runner-up in 2009.
After giving up an early break for 2-2 in the first set, world No. 20 Pennetta reeled off six straight games to take charge of the match.

Griffin, Baylor Win Record-breaking Alamo Bowl

A thrilling, back-and-forth, record-shattering Alamo Bowl had barely ended when Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III already started hearing the chants.
"One more year! One more year!"
One more year? There's still the craziness of what happened Thursday night to get through first.
Griffin wasn't dazzling in possibly his last college game — and didn't need to be — yet No. 15 Baylor still pulled out an incredible Alamo Bowl victory in the highest-scoring regulation bowl game in history, beating Washington 67-56 in the wildest shootout of this bowl season or any other in memory.
If this was RG3's final showcase before jumping to the NFL, it was a gripping goodbye to watch. One of the nation's most electrifying players was upstaged by an even more exciting nail-biter that shattered the previous record for points in regulation set in the2001 GMAC Bowl.
"We went out in style!" Griffin shouted to his teammates. He paraded the Alamo Bowl trophy around the field before taking it to the front row of the stands and his mother, who's already been looking at her son's NFL draft prospects.
Griffin said he was still catching his breath after this one.
 "I want Baylor nation to enjoy this," Griffin said. "It's not about me. I've got about two weeks. I'll enjoy this the next day, and then the next day, and then I'll make it."
The previous bowl record for a regulation game was 102 total points set in the 2001 GMAC Bowl between Marshall and East Carolina. That game went to double overtime and ended with a combined 125 points — which still stands as the overall bowl record.
Baylor, which won its first bowl game since 1992, and Washington (7-6) also set a bowl record for total offense in a game with 1,397 yards.
Griffin had an unremarkable night, throwing just one touchdown pass and running for another. But Terrance Ganaway starred ably in his place, rushing for 200 yards and five touchdowns. His last was a 43-yard run with 2:28 left to seal Baylor's first 10-win season since 1980.
Washington quarterback Keith Price outplayed his Heisman counterpart, going 23 for 27 with 438 yards and four touchdowns. He also ran for another three scores.
"I think we'll have a hard time this bowl season to see a quarterback play as well as he did," Washington coach Steve Sarkisian.
Griffin was 24 of 33 for 295 yards — and his only touchdown throw came on the game's opening drive.
Blown out in four other games against ranked opponents this season, the Huskies finally made one interesting. Not that it started that way after Baylor ran up 245 yards of offense alone in the first quarter — awful even by the standards of Washington's defense, which is among the nation's worst.
Then the most award-winning QB in the country suddenly stopped looking like even the best one in the Alamodome.
Price, a sophomore who threw a school-record 29 touchdowns in his first year as the starter, began cutting into a 21-7 deficit with a 12-yard scoring strike to James Johnson. Seven minutes later he tied the game when Devin Aguilar somersaulted over the goal line after catching a 1-yard lob.
The overwhelming crowd of Baylor fans — decked in green-and-gold Heisman shirts and armed with signs such as "Superman wears RG3 socks" — stood in stunned silenced. That gave way to disbelieving gasps on the next series, when the typically sure-handed Griffin fumbled after getting popped by Andrew Hudson.
After that, it was practically a free-for-all of big plays.
A 56-yard touchdown dash by Chris Polk. An 80-yard touchdown catch by Washington's Jermaine Kearse two plays into the second half. An 89-yard scoring rumble by Baylor's Terrance Ganaway. Kearse again, catching and darting for 60 yards before getting dragged down, setting up Price's fourth touchdown toss the next play.
Back and forth, back and forth. One after another. In all, five plays covered 50 or more yards, three of them for scores.
"That was crazy," Baylor coach Art Briles said.
For an Alamo Bowl short on drama and light on matchups in recent years, it was a thrilling scoring spree that overshadowed the mere novelty of featuring the Heisman winner. And that in itself was a rarity for a bowl of this stature: Not since Ty Detmer took BYU to the Holiday Bowl in 1990 had a Heisman winner played in a bowl before New Year's Day.
Plenty came to see this one.
Anticipating a surge of Heisman gawkers, Alamo Bowl officials added 800 temporary seats and opened up others with obstructed views that required ticket-buyers to sign a form acknowledging the poor sightlines. Those seats sold, anyway, and the announced attendance of 65,256 was the fifth-largest in the bowl's history.
Others had better seats.

 That includes Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland, who kicked for Baylor in the late 1980s but was here on business scouting Griffin in case the fourth-year junior enters the draft. Griffin's parents, two sisters and fiancée watched the nail-biter with front-row seats.
Griffin acknowledged this week his parents are looking at his draft prospects but denies having any substantial talks with them.
Win or lose, it was an impressive finale for Washington after stumbling into the postseason losing four of its last six. Particularly against a ranked team after then-Top 25 opponents Nebraska, Stanford, Oregon and USC all crushed the Huskies by an average of 24 points.

Bulls Rally To Stun Lakers On Derrick Rose’s Winner

Derrick Rose drove the lane and lofted home a smooth floating shot for the winning points in the Chicago Bulls’ opener, just in case anybody doubted the youngest MVP in NBA history can shoulder the expectations that come bundled with that shiny new trophy and a huge contract extension.
Yet Rose realized the Bulls’ dramatic comeback and his beautiful winner were only possible becauseLuol Deng did a whole mess of dirty work against Kobe Bryant.
Rose scored 22 points and hit a short go-ahead shot with 4.8 seconds to play, and the Bulls rallied from an 11-point deficit in the final 3:44 for an 88-87 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.
“If it weren’t for my teammates, making the steal and getting the ball to me at the end, there’s no way I could have gotten that shot off to help us win that game,” Rose said.
That credit went straight to Deng, who scored 21 points and stole Bryant’s pass with 16.9 seconds left to set up Rose’s winner before finally blocking Bryant’s short shot right before the buzzer. Rose was grateful the Bulls hung on to win the clubs’ first Christmas meeting, but even happier about their poise in an early test.
“We definitely don’t want to be in a situation like that, but we fought our way back,” said Rose, who went 9 for 13. “We just played harder. We stepped up our intensity on the defensive end. Throughout the whole game, our defense wasn’t there. I mean, we showed spots of it, but we didn’t keep it consistent. Then, at the end, we played defense.”
Carlos Boozer had 15 points for the Bulls, who have designs on a championship run after leading the NBA with 62 regular-season victories last season. But Chicago appeared headed for a mildly surprising loss in the first game of a season filled with high expectations until Rose and Deng bailed out the Bulls, who finished with a 17-5 rally.
The Bulls had to score the final seven points to earn their first road win over the Lakers in six tries.
Deng scored nine points in the fourth quarter, including a three-point play and two free throws in the final 45 seconds. One possession before he stretched to block Bryant’s final shot, Deng alertly intercepted Bryant’s pass to Pau Gasol out of a trap, setting up Rose’s winner.
“He threw a lob pass, and I was able to get to it,” Deng said. “As soon as we got the ball, I knew we were going to score.”
Until the final minutes, the Bulls were thoroughly disappointed with their effort, while the Lakers were pleased by their passion and execution after a tumultuous preseason. Chicago struggled mightily against coach Mike Brown’s new defensive schemes for the Lakers in the second half, managing just 25 percent shooting (12 for 48).
Bryant scored 28 points and committed eight turnovers while playing with a torn wrist ligament for the Lakers, but couldn’t finish strong in his NBA-record 14th Christmas Day appearance. Los Angeles still led 87-81 on Bryant’s jumper with 54 seconds left, but Deng and Rose took the game away from him.
“I saw a lot of positive things,” Bryant said. “Defensively, we were terrific. We did a good job, and we’re just going to get better. We’re going to be very good defensively.”
Bryant wore a compression sleeve on his right arm while playing without a brace on his right wrist after getting hurt last week. He appeared to have trouble handling the ball, but displayed a fairly smooth jump shot and his usual superb footwork.
Gasol added 14 points for the Lakers, but was held scoreless in the fourth quarter while committing four fouls. Los Angeles also played without suspended center Andrew Bynum and departed sixth man Lamar Odomin the debut of Brown, who replaced 11-time champion Phil Jackson.
“We played pretty good basketball until right down the stretch,” Brown said. “There were a lot of things that went wrong down the stretch where we didn’t quite finish the game.”
Los Angeles began the second half with an 18-7 run, clicking on both ends while claiming a one-point lead heading into the fourth quarter. Chicago finally awoke after Los Angeles pushed its fourth-quarter lead to 82-71 with 3:45 to play, and the Bulls’ game-ending run was abetted by four straight missed free throws by the Lakers.
The Lakers’ 13th straight Christmas appearance was the second straight for the Bulls, who returned to the holiday slate last season for the first time since the last of Michael Jordan’s six championship campaigns in 1997.
