NEW YORK -- Canadians Eugenie Bouchard and Frank Dancevic won opening matches within seconds of each other to advances into the second round of the U. Daryl Washington Cardinals Jersey .S. Open on Monday. Montreals Bouchard managed to find a way past Czech Karolina Pliskova 4-6, 6-4, 7-5 to win in her U.S. Open main draw debut. Dancevic, a product of Niagara Falls, Ont., defeated Robin Haase of the Netherlands 7-6 (5), 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (7). It was Dancevics first victory in New York in four attempts after first-round losses in 2007, 2008 and 2011.

The 19-year-old Bouchard, ranked 59th, lost the opening set on a break but rallied back to take the second set after 91 minutes on the court. Bouchard hung tough in the final set, closing out the tight victory with a break in the final game form a return long over the baseline. "I was expecting good things for myself. I wanted to play and compete at my best," said Bouchard. "I didnt play that well, but I fought my hardest. Im proud of that but I hope to improve for the next match. My serve was working the entire match, even at the end when it was tight. "I was able to hold easily and put pressure on her. I felt fine at the end but I think she was getting tired. I was running for balls and broke her for 6-5. That was the key to the match. When I had my chances I tried to impose my game." Dancevic, a qualifier who ranks 152nd, kept up his momentum in his four-set victory. The 28-year-old took a two-set-to-one lead and recovered in the fourth set after losing an early break against Haase.

The Canadian jammed his toe on a shot and also scrapped his right elbow with a few dives on the hard court. "Im pretty happy with my performance today. I jammed the toe really bad in the second set and ended up cutting half of my toe nail off," Dancevic said. "I was struggling to move and worried about what might happen later in the match. I served better as the match went on, but we were both getting a bit tired in the fourth set and trying to win it on serve. "The tiebreaks really made the difference, I played pretty well in them and thats what gave me the victory." It was a late start for most of the Canadians in action, with only Torontos Sharon Fichman on court early. The No. 95 Fichman was beaten by Romanian Sorana Cirstea, who lost the Roger Cup final this month to Serena Williams Cirstea won the match 7-5, 5-7, 6-1 against Fichman.

Billy Hamilton finished off Cincinnatis biggest comeback of the season for a doubleheader sweep.EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - The NFL and personnel at MetLife Stadium had a Super Bowl pop quiz on snow removal less than two weeks before the title game between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks. The league and stadium officials decided to use a winter storm that dumped a foot or more of snow in the New York City metropolitan area Tuesday as somewhat of a dress rehearsal to see how quickly they could clean the 80,000-seat facility that will hold the first outdoor Super Bowl in cold weather. NFL executive vice-president Eric Grubman said Wednesday an 18-hour time limit was set for removing the snow from the stadium, surrounding parking lots and access roads in the Meadowlands sports complex, where the game will be played Feb. 2. Grubman refused to speculate whether the storm that snarled roads, closed schools and had states of emergency in New Jersey, New York City and some surrounding areas would have caused the Super Bowl to be postponed. He said that would be a decision made by state authorities. Grubman, however, said the league has several contingency plans for the game, including moving it up to Friday or Saturday, pushing it back to Monday or adjusting the scheduled start on Sunday deal with the weather. The game is scheduled to start at 6:25 p.m. EST. "Based on the long-range forecast, all that I would even hazard to guess is that it is probably going to be cold. I doubt we are going to have an unusual warm spell," Grubman said at the news conference originally called to showcase how the stadium was preparing for the Super Bowl. The snowstorm on Tuesday was a fortuitous coincidence for the cold-weather Super Bowl. MetLife spokeswoman Nicole Fountain said the stadium and its contractors had 1,300 workers removing the 13 inches of snow that fell in and around the stadium. The crews started removal at around 8 a.m. and had sections of the stadium and most of the tarp-covered field cleared by noon. During this past season, the crews removed six inches of wet, iced-packed snow in roughly 12 hours before a Seahawks-Giants game on Dec. 15, Ron VanDeVeen,, the stadiums senior vice-president of events said Wednesday. Matt Barkley Cardinals Jersey. The snow being removed Wednesday was not as heavy, he said. Grubman said the league is prepared to play the game even if there is still some snow in the stands. "Games are played with snow all the time," he said. "Its not just MetLife Stadium. I think the crowd will be an exceptional crowd and they will enjoy the game. I dont think they will be fazed by a little bit of snow on their seats, if thats what comes to pass. We aim to not have that happen, but if it happens, its sort of what happens in NFL stadiums all the time." Grubman also displayed warm welcome kits that fans will receive entering the stadium on game day. Cushions hold the kit items which included ear and hand muffs, mittens, a hat, neck warmers, lip balm and other items. "The warm welcome kit was designed to make fans comfortable," he said, "and to have those last-minute items that they may not think about." Grubman also advised fans to dress in layers for the game. He said there will be warming areas in the stadium should anyone need them. The storm that hit the area Tuesday stretched from Kentucky to New England. "If you are going to have one, and you are going to have it 10 days out, were going to make use of it," Grubman said of the storm. "The silver lining is we are running ourselves through a rigorous dress rehearsal." Grubman said the league was gathering information from law enforcement authorities about how the emergency conditions might have affected the game had it been played Tuesday. The two groups will go over the information soon. Whatever happens, the league is ready to deal with all scenarios, Grubman said. "Some people will say perfection will be a nice little dusting of snow in the third quarter," Grubman said. "Other people will say perfection will be 40 degrees in early February with the sun shining until sundown at 5:35 or 5:45 or 6:20 on Sunday, the second. "I think it is really up to the individual."
