NEW YORK -- A two-hour rain delay at the U. Beats By Dre UK cheap .S. Open didnt throw Canadas Aleksandra Wozniak off her game. Wozniak reached the second round of the Grand Slam tournament with a 6-0, 6-3 win over Romanias Alexandra Cadantu on Monday. The 48th-ranked Wozniak, a quarter-finalist last week in a Dallas tune-up event, needed little more than an hour to advance after losing four of her last five opening matches at Flushing Meadows. The native of Blainville, Que., made it to the third round in 2009. "Overall, it was the first solid match for me here," Wozniak said. "The first set went fast and then there was a long bathroom break for her. "She started putting more balls in during the second set. Im glad I stayed on top or her and won this one. It was nice that it went so fast after the long rain delay. It was so crowded in the locker-room, the lounge, the cafeteria." Wozniak will next play good friend Lucie Safarova, who beat American Melanie Oudin 6-4, 6-0. Wozniak swept the first set with ease in less than half an hour against Cadantu, who suffered a 6-0, 6-0 first-round loss to Maria Sharapova at the French Open this year. The second set was more competitive, with Wozniak recovering from an early breakdown before winning the match on a third match point. Wozniak fired ten aces and broke Cadantus serve on five of seven occasions in the victory. "Im looking forward to the second round, Im really focused," Wozniak said. "Last week in Dallas was really hot and humid, and it was pretty hot here, you really sweat a lot on the court. "But I got used to it last week, everything feels good so far." Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., will start his mens campaign against Colombian Santiago Giraldo on Tuesday, while doubles ace Daniel Nestor of Toronto and partner Max Mirnyi of Belarus will open against Americans Steve Johnson and Jack Sock.

Contrary to the widely-held assumption, however, Liles does not believe that he has been suffering from a concussion. In fact, the 31-year-old believes that the symptoms hes been experiencing for the past 15 games are more closely related to the trouble hes been having with his neck, specifically a "locked" feeling which has quietly subsided of late. http://www.cheapbeatsbydreukstore.... .

Beats By Dre Sale . PETERSBURG, Fla.BALTIMORE -- Secretariats winning time in the 1973 Preakness has been changed to reflect that the Triple Crown-winning colts time was actually faster than the stakes record. The Maryland Racing Commission voted 7-0 on Tuesday in a special hearing at Laurel Park to change the official time of the race from 1:54 2/5 to 1:53. That gives Secretariat records in each of his three Triple Crown races -- the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes -- that still stand. The commission investigated the official timing of the Preakness at the request of Secretariats 90-year-old owner, Penny Chenery, and Pimlico president Tom Chuckas. "I didnt know if it was appropriate to cheer but I couldnt help myself," Chenery said. "This is a big day." The commission heard more than two hours of testimony, backed by modern technology, to prove Secretariats time was actually faster than the Preakness record of 1:53 2/5, set by Tanks Prospect in 1985 and equaled by Louis Quatorze in 1996 and Curlin in 2007. "Justice was served," Chuckas said. "The Secretariat team made a compelling case that he ran the race in 1:53 flat and added the Preakness record to his resume. This is terrific news forr Mrs. Official Beats By Dre UK. Chenery, who has been diligent in her fight for nearly 40 years, and the entire sport of horse racing." The electronic timer in use at Pimlico for the 1973 Preakness recorded a winning time of 1:55. However, the clocking differed from two independent clockers from the Daily Racing Form who had each hand-timed the race at a much faster 1:53 2/5. In the days following the race, stewards and later the racing commission concluded that there were "extenuating circumstances" involving the electronic timers recording. As a result, the official time was subsequently changed to 1:54 2/5, the time reported by Pimlicos official hand clocker. "It is wonderful for the sport to remove an asterisk and wonderful for the legacy of Secretariat and his fans, who believed he set the record in all three Triple Crown races," said Leonard Lusky, who represented Chenery at the hearing. "This was a labour of love and it was so important because it was Secretariat and the Preakness, one of the landmark events in horse racing." The track record for 1 3/16 mile distance at Pimlico is still held by Farma Way with a time of 1:52 2/5 in the 1991 Pimlico Special. ' ' '
