Ivanovic and the 2011 U.S. Open champion Samantha Stosur advanced to the Kremlin
Cup quarterfinals with straight-sets victories on Thursday, as top-seeded
Alexandr Dolgopolov bowed out of the mens event. The 11th-ranked Ivanovic broke
the 19-year-old Russian qualifier Valeria Solovieva three times in a 6-1, 6-4
victory, while Stosur struggled past Alize Cornet of France 7-6 (6), 7-5. "It
was a good match for me," said Ivanovic, whose opponent was playing in only her
second WTA match. "Its never easy to play someone you havent seen before as you
dont know how they react in the different situations. But Im happy Ive managed
to finish in good style." Ivanovic, whose best result this season was a
semifinal appearance in Indian Wells in March, will be playing in her fifth
quarterfinal. The 2008 French Open champion is looking for her 12th career
title. Ivanovic will next face Serbian qualifier Vesna Dolonc, who advanced to
her second career WTA quarterfinal by routing Romanias Simona Halep 6-1, 6-0.
Top-seeded Stosur prevailed on a first-set tiebreaker and, 5-4 and 40-15 down on
her serve in the second set, saved three set points before making the decisive
break in the 11th game. The ninth-ranked Australian wrapped up the victory with
a passing backhand crosscourt shot on her first match point. "We always play
tough against each other," Stosur said. "But we didnt meet for a long time and
we both seriously improved our tennis since our last meeting. "Today I had
plenty of opportunities and chances to finish the points off. And It was
important to believe I was doing the right things and to receive the win as a
reward." In Fridays quarterfinals, Stosur will face Klara Zakopalova of the
Czech Republic Seventh-seeded Maria Kirilenko, the only Russian left in the
womens draw, rallied from 5-1 down in the first set to beat Yaroslava Shvedova
of Kazakhstan 7-5, 6-4. In the second round of the mens tournament, French
qualifier Edouard Roger-Vasselin produced the biggest surprise of the event so
far, saving four match points to beat Dolgopolov of Ukraine 6-3, 7-5, 7-6 (6).
"It was a very close and a tough match," Roger-Vasselin said. "I survived four
match points but also missed several easy shots on my match point before winning
the match." The 20th-ranked Dolgopolov landed 10 aces to his opponents eight and
had two match points, leading 6-5 and 40-15 in the second set, and two more at
6-4 on the tiebreaker. The Frenchman clinched victory with a forehand down the
line. "It was tough for me to get into the match but then I had many chances in
almost every game in the third set," Dolgopolov said. "Yet I failed to make a
break. It was so simple -- I missed my chances and he has capitalized on his
only one." Roger-Vasselin will next play Croatian veteran Ivo Karlovic, who
served 16 aces to beat Alex Bogomolov Jr, 7-6 (11), 6-4, the last Russian left
in the mens draw. Jerzy Janowicz of Poland advanced to the quarterfinals by
beating seventh-seeded Carlos Berlocq of Argentina 6-3, 6-4. Cheap NBA

clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories?
Kerry Fraser wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! Hello Mr. Fraser, I
have a question regarding Rule 42 - Charging. During the Vancouver/Detroit game
on Sunday, Jordin Tootoo received a two-minute minor penalty for Charging (here
is the video). My question is, what exactly determines a charging call vs a
regular clean big hit? The Rulebook (as Im certain you know) states: Charging
shall mean the actions of a player who, as a result of distance traveled, shall
violently check an opponent in any manner. A "charge" may be the result of a
check into the boards, into the goal frame or in open ice. What exactly is too
far of a distance travelled? I have heard many commentators mention that four
strides without letting up would qualify as a general rule. In this case, Tootoo
was striding and gliding a couple of times before gliding into the hit. (the
last 25 seconds of the video show it best) Or is the violent collision more of a
deciding factor? This seems like it might be more heavily factored as it may
take more speed and distance for a smaller player to create a similarly violent
collision as a much larger player. Please let me know how officials go about
calling this infraction. Love your column, thanks! Tony Tony:Thank you for this
excellent example of how a clean hard hit can be incorrectly ruled upon as
charging when a Referee is caught off guard no differently than Vancouver
defenceman Christopher Tanev when Jordin Tootoo delivered this thundering
shoulder check. Tenev and the Referee were in close proximity to one another and
shared both a focus on the puck and a lack of awareness to their environment;
specifically to the imposing presence of Tootoo. When the hard hit was delivered
it was a combination of the force which sent Tanev and his stick flying, along
with the reputation that Tootoo has fostered for long, late hits that was
ultimately ruled upon by the Referee without having a clear vision of the entire
play. As this play developed with a failed Red Wing entry into the Canuck zone,
Jason Garrison gained puck possession in the near corner and moved toward the
weak side behind the goal as his defence partner Tanev backpedaled to the
opposite corner to provide an outlet. The Referee was positioned in the same
corner as Tanev and their body position and visual focus were clearly on the
puck as it was passed by Garrison to Tanev. Tootoo, on the other hand,
demonstrated great vision of the ice. He read the play perfectly on the
forecheck, skating and gliding from inside the blue line on the near side to
seal off Tanevs outlet and to finish a check if and when the Canuck defenceman
received a pass from Garrison. By the time the puck arrived on the stick of
Tanev, Tootoo had taken two hard quick strides to gather speed and then glided
into the Canuck defenceman with a perfectly placed shoulder-to-shoulder hit.
Had both the Referee and Tanev demonstrateed a similar vision of the ice neither
would have been so surprised by Tootoos impending body check. Cheap Jerseys Free

hit looked far worse to the Referee from his close proximity and surprise of the
moment. There are certain players in the League who are known for finishing
checks long, hard and sometimes late. Jordin Tootoo is one of those players.
Opposing players and Referees need to be aware of the presence and position on
the ice of players such as Tootoo so they are not caught off guard. In direct
response to your question Tony it is generally accepted that a player can take
three strides to make a hit on an opponent with the puck. There is also a glide
factor which is taken into account to determine a legal check as opposed to
charging. This should be interpreted when a player must travel a considerable
distance with speed in order to place himself in a position to make the check
but glides as opposed to strides well in advance of making legal contact.
Another form of charging is a late hit or finish of a check made on an opponent
two to three seconds max after the player has given up the puck. This is
especially true if the check is delivered from a blind side or a player is
unsuspecting of the hit. Any time a players skates leave the ice to make a hit,
charging should be assessed. It drives me crazy when a call is not made to a
player who leaves his feet to make the hit because it usually results in a high
hit or contact to the head. If charging was called every time a player left his
feet to make a hit I believe it would serve the game well in reducing hits to
the head area. As we have also seen the velocity/impact of the hit generated by
a player who travels a considerable distance can certainly have a bearing on the
Referees judgment as to whether a charging penalty is warranted. Open ice hits
of the "train wreck" variety with excessive force will usually be called
charging. This is especially true when the recipient is unaware of the impending
contact. Most will say the player should have his head up and always expect to
be hit. The speed of the present game makes it even more important to have your
radar on and aware of where everyone is on the ice. The bottom line is to keep
your head up at all times! How and where the player makes contact with his
opponent can be factored into the charging equation when some distance was
travelled to determine charging. Elevated checks near or above the neck, hands
held high at point of impact or used to finish high will likely cause the
Referee to raise his hand as well. Does anyone remember the era where a check
was delivered to separate a player from the puck and not his head from his
shoulders? The overriding factor in determining a charging infraction will be
the Referees position from which he views the hit along with his aforementioned
awareness and vision of the play from start to finish. This shouldnt come as a
surprise to anyone, least of all the Referees. ' ' '
