CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Milos Raonic emerged as the only Canadian winner at the Western & Southern Open on Wednesday after the fifth seed defeated American Robby Ginepri to advance to the third round. Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., beat Ginepri in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2. Wimbledon finalist Eugenie Bouchard of Westmount, Que., meanwhile, suffered another hard-court disappointment in losing to Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-4, 3-6, 6-2. Earlier, Vancouvers Vasek Pospisil pushed Roger Federer to a third set before falling to the tournaments second seed. Raonic says he was pleased with his performance, but is looking for improvement. "I felt great after the first match of the week," said the Wimbledon semifinalist. "These were much different conditions than last week at the Rogers Cup. "But I came up with the right mentality and was able to execute well. I wasnt particularly nervous. I knew how Id prepared and what to expect. I was able to break right away and that made things go well form the beginning." Bouchard played in her first tournament since Wimbledon last week, losing her first match at the Rogers Cup in Montreal. She said Kuznetsova was a "tough opponent." "I think Svetlana was pretty solid," she said. "For me, you know, its still a work in progress." She said the time off did contribute to the result. "With all the time I took off and everything it would kind of be a long journey back to get back to where I was and to get better than that," she said. "But I feel better this week than last week, so thats a positive. Its all about moving forward." Federer, third in the ATP world rankings, is coming off an appearance in the finals of the Rogers Cup in Toronto. Federer lost that match to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. The Swiss tennis star beat Pospisil 7-6 (4), 5-7, 6-2 in the second-round match on centre court to become the only man to reach 300 wins at the Masters 1000 level in mens singles. Pospisil beat Radek Stepanek in the first round in Cincinnati a week after losing his opening match at the Rogers Cup. He had 33 winners and 37 unforced errors against Federer. Pospisil played tough against Federer, forcing a tiebreaker that he ultimately lost on a forehand error. Pospisil secured the second set when Federer missed on a forehand cross-court. The third set was all Federer, with Pospisil broken twice on the way to the loss. "Any time you play Roger, there is always extra tension," said Pospisil. "Ive always looked up to him so much. I was tense in the first set and that claimed a lot of energy. "In the second I played better but in the third a couple of points made the difference." Pospisil also pointed to his heavy playing schedule at Cincinnati as a problem. "I had heavy legs at that point, maybe I was paying the price for the first set," he said. "I had five sets form singles and doubles the day before. "I was missing some pop in my serve and he played well when he needed to."

Cheap Shoes Discount . -- The defending Canadian womens curling champions squandered an opportunity to take sole possession of first place in the standings Tuesday at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts.The Calgary Flames try to extend the momentum created by a successful road trip into Tuesday nights home meeting with the banged-up Tampa Bay Lightning. The Flames began the season with a loss to the visiting Vancouver Canucks before posting a 4-2 record on a six-game road trip. They capped the swing with Sundays 4-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets and will play their next five at home. Dennis Wideman, Johnny Gaudreau and Mason Raymond all potted second-period goals in the victory over the Jets. Defenseman T.J. Brodie added a goal in the third frame and Jonas Hiller made 34 saves. Raymonds goal was his fifth of the season. Great second period. We came out strong, we came out with a great forecheck. We got a big power-play goal, Calgary head coach Bob Hartley said. Brodie has three goals and seven points through Calgarys first seven games and on Monday signed a five-year contract extension. It seemed like a good deal, Brodie said on Calgarys website. The longer you wait there is always risks, too. Whether its injuries or having a cold slump or something like that. To get it out of the way now, it gives me a chance to relax and not have to think about it. The Lightning dont want to think too much about last nights 3-2 loss in Edmonton, the Oilers first win of the season. Brian Boyle and Brett Connolly scored for the Lightning, who have split the first two of their five-game road trip. Ben Bishop allowed three goals on 23 shots in the loss. We just werent making any plays, Bishop said. Every time we got the puck we just flicked it and turned it over and they took it back to us. The highlight of the game was the NHHL debut of Tampa Bay forward Jonathan Drouin, the third overall pick of the 2013 draft.dddddddddddd Drouin was recalled from the American Hockey League on Sunday after completing a rehab assignment for a thumb injury and was not expected to play, but was put into the lineup after Alex Killorn sustained an upper-body injury during morning skate. The 19-year-old Drouin had one shot on goal in just over 16 minutes of ice time, posting a minus-1 rating. After losing Killorn earlier in the day, forward Ryan Callahan suffered a lower-body injury versus the Oilers and is not expected to play tonight. Tampa Bay is already without defenseman Victor Hedman for the next 4-to-6 weeks because of a hand injury. Hedman had posted three goals and seven points over the first five games, while Callahan has three goals and five points in six games. The Lightning have won four of their past six versus the Flames as well as five of its last seven trips to Calgary.
