The third-seeded pair of Sania Mirza and her partner Barbora Strycova of the Czech Republic advanced to the doubles final of the Wuhan Open, winning their quarter-final and semi-final matches, both of which were played in Wuhan, China on Friday. While they beat sixth-seeds Timea Babos of Hungary and Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan 6-3, 7-6 [7-5] in the early evening session, their semi-finals win by a score of 6-4, 3-6, 10-7 came in an hour and 26 minutes against?the second-seeded pair of Hao-Ching Chan and Yung-Jan Chin of Chinese Taipei a few hours later.Sania and Strycova lost serve three times in the opening set, but broke four times to take the first set in just 27 minutes in their semi-final.?The second set saw the higher-ranked Chan sisters break their opponents early on, and they maintained that lead to open up a 4-2 lead in the process. Though Sania and Strycova broke back, they would drop serve immediately afterwards, and the set was wrapped up by the Chinese Taipei pair in a little over half an hour.?Sania and Strycova tried their best to keep pace with their opponents in the 10-point tie-breaker in the final set, despite trailing 3-1 and 4-3 at different stages. They were able to win five of the last seven points played to wrap up the match on the very first match point they got.Earlier in their quarter-final, Sania and Strycova were the first to break serve in the first set, taking a 2-0 lead in the process. Both teams then traded a break apiece over the next two games, before the Indo-Czech pair held to go 4-1 up. There were no further service breaks, as Sania and Strycova won the first set 6-3 in 27 minutes.After the second set began with two service holds, Babos and Shvedova were broken again to give the third seeds a 2-1 advantage. But they broke their opponents immediately to restore parity. Sania and Strycova broke serve in the seventh game, however, and then had their first four match points with their opponents 0-40 down at 3-5 in the second set. Babos and Shvedova came back to hold, and then faced another match point as their opponents looked to close out the match on serve, but broke back to make it 5-5. Serving at 6-5 down, this time Sania and Strycova had to save three set points to take the second set into a tiebreak, which they won 7-5 to take the second set in 53 minutes.Sania will defend her doubles title at this event, which she won alongside Martina Hingis in 2015, against fifth-seeds American Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Lucie Safarova of Czech Republic in the final.Sania and Strycova have already won two out of three events entered since coming together after the Rio Olympics in August, with their most-recent title coming in Tokyo last weekend.

DeAndre Jordan Jersey .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back. Cheap Mavericks Jerseys . LOUIS -- Mike Smith is used to facing plenty of shots, so this was nothing new. Oklahoma State won its 21st consecutive home opener last week against Southeastern Louisiana, but the level of competition shifts direction Saturday when Central Michigan visits Boone Pickens Stadium.The Cowboys, ranked No. 21 in the first regular-season poll of 2016, will keep the focus similar to the opener -- start fast, score early and get the early takeaway to feed momentum. That begins for the Cowboys with holding down Chippewas quarterback Cooper Rush.We saw Cooper Rush last year and hes steady. Hes a senior now. Hes put up a lot of yardage. Hes savvy to get free on rush and hes got a great touch. He can throw the deep-out cuts. Basically, besides the tight end, theyve got the whole wide-fence back, and they pretty much move the ball on everybody they play, Cowboys defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer said of Rush, who has 68 career touchdown passes but was intercepted twice and sacked three times in the opener against FCS opponent Presbyterian.The Cowboys handled Central Michigan last season, 24-13, but Rush held strong in the pocket and completed 28 of 41 passes for 225 yards, rushed for 51 and scored the Chippewas touchdown. Cowboys coach Mike Gundy called Rush a potential NFL player. NFLDraftScout.com ranks Rush as the No. 4 quarterback prospect in the 2017 draft.He made a lot of great throws against us (last year), right on the money, safety Tre Flowers said of Rush.CMU coach John Bonamengo said Rush had only one bad throw in the opener, and praised the CMU running game for churning out 255 yards on the ground in the blowout. Devon Spalding had the big play last week, a 69-yard sprint down the sideline, but senior Jahray Hayes had three TD runs behind a big offensive line that Oklahoma State described as huge.Each one of the offensive linemen played their butts off for us, said Spaldding, who rushed for 135 yards in the opener.ddddddddddddIf the Chippewas want to follow the footsteps of Western Michigan -- a MAC neighbor which pulled the big upset at Northwestern last week -- defensive improvement will be critical. Last week the improvement was there, but the Cowboys are capable of inflicting critical damage on almost every play.Oklahoma State scored in just about every way possible last week, rolling up 60 points and handing the late part of the game to second- and third-teamers.Cowboys quarterback Mason Rudolph didnt get much work, but looked quicker and leaner to Gundy. Rudolph completed 18 of 26 passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns, while playing about half the game.Mason played with a lot of intensity and a lot of focus. There were a couple of errors, but for the most part Mason came through for us. He secured the football, OSU offensive coordinator Mike Yurich said. Obviously we have to work on the quarterback-center exchange. That was a big mishap, but Mason took care of the ball and made really good decisions. There were a couple of times he has to make better decisions, so its a work in progress, but he did a fine job. He really did some good things extending plays, making plays on his feet and avoiding the rush. Obviously all of the work hes done during the offseason paid off because he was able to be more mobile than weve ever seen, so hats off to him.The new wheels are meaningful for Rudolph in the pocket and on the move, and its another element of the multi-faceted running game that will make the Cowboys a challenge to defend.We have the mindset we can beat anybody, Hayes said. We think were going to go down there and beat them. ' ' '
