Flushing Meadows, NY - Five-time major titlist Maria Sharapova moved on, while second-seeded Simona Halep and two-time champion Venus Williams were a pair of third-round losers Friday at the U.S. Open. Sharapova, seeded fifth in the tournament, defeated No. 26 Sabine Lisicki in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4 to close out play on Friday at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The reigning French Open victor and 2006 champion here in New York will face 10th-seeded Caroline Wozniacki next in the round of 16. Wozniacki cruised to a 6-3, 6-2 result over 18th-seeded German Andrea Petkovic. Wozniacki posted a runner-up finish in New York in 2009. The French Open runner-up Halep succumbed to 32-year-old Croatian qualifier Mirjana Lucic-Baroni 7-6 (8-6), 6-2 on the famed Grandstand court. Halep is just 4-3 since titling in her native Romania last month. Halep had reached at least the quarterfinals at the years first three Grand Slam events. Lucic-Baroni cried tears of joy after the stunning result. "This is incredible," said the former teen phenom. "I believed the whole time." "After so many years, my God, this is just incredible," Lucic-Baroni added. "Every painful moment was worth it." Meanwhile, 13th-seeded gritty Italian Sara Errani outlasted the 19th-seeded former world No. 1 Venus in 6-0, 0-6, 7-6 (7-5) fashion. After swapping a pair of bagel sets, Errani and the seven-time major champion Venus got down to business in the third, where Venus blew a 5-3 lead as the Italian eventually forced a tiebreak. The former French Open runner-up Errani set up a match point with a backhand winner and closed out the entertaining bout with a forehand winner into an open court after just over two hours of compelling tennis. "It was a really tough match, even if I won the first set 6-0," said Errani. "Shes an amazing player. I just tried to focus on every point. I tried to keep going, not thinking too much about the score." Errani finished with 18 winners and 25 unforced errors, while Williams was hurt by 52 miscues. The 34-year-old Venus was the back-to-back U.S. Open champ in 2000 and 2001 and is also a two-time runner-up in New York. Errani will face Lucic-Baroni in the round of 16. Meanwhile, ninth-seeded former No. 1 and 2008 U.S. Open runner-up Jelena Jankovic swatted Swede Johanna Larsson 6-1, 6-0 in 58 minutes at Ashe and 17- year-old promising Swiss Belinda Bencic ousted sixth-seeded German Angelique Kerber 6-1, 7-5. The Serbian Jankovic will face Bencic in her next outing. Four of the top-10 seeds have been knocked out of the depleted womens draw. Czech left-hander Lucie Safarova, seeded 14th, snuck past 22nd-seeded Frenchwoman Alize Cornet 6-3, 6-7 (3-7), 6-4 in 2 hours, 25 minutes. A mild upset came when Chinese Peng Shuai took out 28th-seeded Italian Roberta Vinci 6-4, 6-3 on the hardcourts at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Peng ousted fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska here on Wednesday. Stephen Strasburg Jersey .C. -- Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith has been ruled out for Sundays game against the Atlanta Falcons.

The 17-time Grand Slam champion, who lose three straight finals in Monte Carlo to Rafael Nadal from 2006-08, has not played in the tournament since 2011, when he lost to Jurgen Melzer in the quarterfinals. http://www.officialnationalsgearshop.com/Customized/ . The defending champions sent their preliminary list to FIFA on Tuesday, with coach Vicente del Bosque to announce the final 23-man squad on May 25. Costa is set to lead the attack in his native Brazil, with Atletico Madrid teammate David Villa and Chelseas Fernando Torres also included, while David de Gea replaces injured goalkeeper Victor Valdes. Wilmer Difo Jersey . "I had a pretty good year," the soft-spoken Granberg told TSN.ca with a grin from the teams annual rookie tournament in London. A fourth-round selection in 2010, Granberg is worth keeping an eye on with NHL training camps rolling around in less than a week. The six-foot-two, 200-pound defender may not possess the wow-inspiring theatrics of fellow prospect Morgan Rielly, but nonetheless has a chance to contribute with the Leafs when all is said and done this season. Ryan Zimmerman Jersey .C. - The Panthers will be without starting defensive tackle Star Lotulelei for Saturday nights NFC divisional playoff game against Seattle after undergoing surgery Wednesday to repair a broken bone in his foot.KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Georgia running back Keith Marshall and wide receiver Justin Scott-Wesley will miss the rest of the season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligaments in their right knees during a 34-31 overtime victory at Tennessee. Bulldogs coach Mark Richt confirmed the severity of their injuries at a Sunday afternoon teleconference. "Its sad for our players," Richt said. "You see them work so hard to get in position to play for Georgia, realize their dreams to play in big games like that, try to win championships and all that. (You see) how much work they put in and how hard they play for you and work and practice for you in the off-season and all that, and one play like that and its taken away from them. Its heartbreaking." Richt also announced wide receiver Michael Bennett will undergo further evaluation to determine how much time he will miss after injuring his right knee Saturday at Tennessee. Richt said Bennett definitely wouldnt play when the seventh-ranked Bulldogs (4-1, 3-0 SEC) host No. 25 Missouri (5-0, 1-0 SEC). Punter Collin Barbers status is day to day after sustaining a concussion in the Tennessee game. This represents the latest round of adversity for a Georgia team that has kept its national title hopes alive despite enduring all kinds of health problems. Wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell tore the ACL in his right knee during a season-opening loss to Clemson. Running back Todd Gurley, who had formed a dynamic duo in the backfield with Marshall, sat out the Tennessee game with a sprained left ankle. Georgia also played the Tennessee game without injured safeties Tray Matthews and Connor Norman. Now the Bulldogs have been hit with even more injuries. "I dont know what hurts more -- the pain of the injury or the pain of knowing youre not going to be able to play anymore for a while," Richt said. "I just feel bad for them." Marshall and Scott-Wesley both tweeted after their injuries. "Thanks everyone for all the prayer and support," Marshall said. "I will be fine. Minor setback for a major comeback!" "Ill be back better than ever!" Scott-Wesley vowed. Richt said after the game that Gurley had a 50-50 chance of playing against Missouri, and he indicated Sunday that the sophomores status remained day to day.dddddddddddd Richt also didnt know if Matthews will return from his hamstring injury in time for the Missouri game. Richt said Norman has a "realistic shot" of playing against Missouri. Marshall had rushed for 246 yards and one touchdown on 56 attempts this season. Scott-Wesley had 16 catches for 311 yards and two touchdowns, including an 85-yard touchdown that clinched a victory over South Carolina. The losses could hinder an offence that has scored at least 34 points in each of its first five games. It certainly puts to rest the notion that Georgia would have an easier road now that it had made it through a brutal September schedule with its championship hopes intact. The Tennessee game was supposed to begin the easier part of Georgias schedule. But the Bulldogs instead have plenty of questions as they get ready for an intriguing matchup with Missouri, which is coming off an impressive 51-28 victory at Vanderbilt. "We have a lot of work to do before we play Missouri because thats another team that will sneak up on you in a heartbeat," Georgia outside linebacker Jordan Jenkins said. Gurley and Marshall had formed one of the nations top running back tandems before they were hurt. Gurley has 71 carries for 450 yards and four touchdowns this season. Last season, the duo combined to rush for 2,144 yards and 25 touchdowns. Freshman J.J. Green stepped up in their absence at Tennessee and ran for 129 yards on 17 carries. Green had entered the game with only five career rushing attempts. "When we signed him, we really didnt know what he was going to play," Richt said after the Tennessee game. "We thought he could play corner, we thought he could play receiver. This spring we knew we had some issues at the tailback position so we just asked him what do you think about playing some tailback and he said, OK, Coach, Ill play. Turns out hes a tough nut." Another freshman, Brendan Douglas, scored a touchdown against the Volunteers. The Bulldogs may need both newcomers to deliver a repeat performance against Missouri.
