Milos Raonics meteoric rise up the tennis ranks means hell be stopping to sign a few more autographs and pose for a few more pictures when he walks the ground of Roland Garros next week. But the hard-serving native of Thornhill, Ont., ranked No. 28th in the world heading into the French Open, is taking his newfound stardom in stride. A little attention, he says, certainly wouldnt hurt the sport. "Im still getting used to it for sure, and the thing is, its all good stuff," Raonic said on a conference call Thursday from Paris. "It takes time, but its fun to do and its good exposure not just for myself but also for the sport." Raonic rocketed up the ranks from No. 156 to 25th since the start of the year, which has made for busy times for the 20-year-old. He recently was profiled in a CNN feature. Hes been pencilled in for autograph sessions at Roland Garros. "Only positive things come out of (the recent attention) and to be even considered for these big opportunities is really special and its really endearing and I appreciate these moments," Raonic said. "All those kinds of things, they do take quite a bit of time but theyre also fun to do and a lot of good new experiences. "I dont take them for granted." Raonics ranking dropped recently after he fell to Fernando Verdasco in the opening round of the Italian Open. But the Canadian said there were some positives to take from the early exit in Rome -- "from the mental aspect to the physical aspect. "The bodys good -- nothing is really bothering me at all -- to the mental aspect, it let me refresh a bit and get a little bit more hungry." Raonic is making his first Grand Slam appearance as a seeded player, and said he has no expectations about how hell fare at the storied tournament. "I think its more trying to enjoy it and trying to soak up the experience being my first time playing as a professional," Raonic said. "Im just looking to build off it, its a starting point. . . and its a Grand Slam, its a big tournament. "I want to try to play my best and I think everything that comes from that, if I keep winning, all that kind of stuff, its going to be amazing and its just going to add onto the experience." Raonics clay-court experience hasnt gone well. A week before the Italian Open, he was dispatched in the first round of the Madrid Open by Feliciano Lopez of Spain. The French Open will be an intense physical test -- the men play the best out of five instead of two of three -- plus the clay surface is punishing. But Raonic said his success will be more of a mental game than anything. "I think mentally just accepting everything that happens," Raonic said. "I might not always play my best tennis every day, something else might be wrong, I cant control what happens day to day but I want to be able to accept it and deal with it and find a way to win," Raonic said. "If I can play amazing all my matches, that will be a great feeling, but acceptance and being mentally prepared for everything is definitely a big part of it." Raonic won the SAP Open in San Jose this season for the first Canadian title in 16 years. But his loss to American star Andy Roddick in the final of the ATP 500 event in Memphis garnered almost much attention, and was an endearing moment for fans. Roddick praised the young Canadians performance and Raonic told the crowd that at least hed be in a famous YouTube video, just on the wrong side of the court. There has been the odd player, however, who has criticized Raonics game, saying its all in his serve. But following a few months on the tour, Raonic said hes enjoying the camaraderie that comes with rubbing shoulders with the sports best players. "Its really nice, theres people you get along with more than others," Raonic said. "Its just like life, there are some people you get along with. But the locker-room is a lot of fun, especially now. "Now that youre here every week, youre around the same players every week and its a lot more enjoyable and you make closer bonds and trust, people you like to practise with more than others, people you go out to dinner with, so being on the road isnt as lonely. Its a lot more enjoyable and fun." Raonic will learn his first-round opponent during Fridays draw. wholesale jerseys .

United manager David Moyes predicted Sunday that Rooney would be out for "probably three weeks." "Its bad," Moyes said. "Its right down the middle of his forehead and it will take a while to heal.HARRISON, N.J. - Thierry Henry scored his MLS-leading ninth goal in the seventh minute, then went down with a right hamstring injury 15 minutes later in the New York Red Bulls 1-0 victory over the New England Revolution on Saturday. "His injury is disastrous for us," said Red Bulls coach Hans Backe, who estimated Henry will be sidelined a month. "His leadership in every single training session is invaluable. Its a huge loss for us, both on and off the pitch. Its going to be difficult now without him." The Red Bulls improved to 4-3-1 overall and 3-0-1 at home. Rookie goalkeeper Ryan Meara made five saves in recording his first MLS shutout, including a diving stop on Lee Nguyens blast in added time to preserve the shutout. "We all really battled, each and every one of us," Meara said. "It was a full team performance and we deserved to win this one. Even though were a little banged up, we all had faith and believed. No matter whos on the field, we feel confident we could win." New England (2-5) was shut out for the fourth time and has scored only five goals all season. Henry, who declined to speak to the media after the game, made a brilliant move to score. He took a throw-in from rookie Connor Lade and manoeuvred past Revolution defender Stephen McCarthy to get to the ball. Henry then flicked a right-footed shot over New England goalkeeper Matt Reis, who came far out of the box to try to stop Henry. The goal put Henry ahead of San Joses Chris Wondolowski for the MLS lead, but it might be the last goal Henry scores foor quite some time.dddddddddddd In the 22nd minute, Henry attempted to streak toward goal, but stopped short, then grabbed his right hamstring as he slid along the turf. He was in obvious pain, as he held his face and pounded the turf in disgust. Henry was eventually helped off the field by two members of the Red Bulls medical staff. He was replaced in the lineup by midfielder Victor Palsson. Henry rejoined his team on the sidelines for the second half, wearing his warm-ups. The Red Bulls have been devastated by injuries already this season. Forward Juan Agudelo is still out after undergoing knee surgery. Midfielder Teemo Tainio has a sprained knee. Defenders Stephen Keel (back), Roy Miller (knee) and Wilman Conde (groin) also did not play. It was also the second game of Rafa Marquezs three-game suspension. Meara was outstanding in the first half, showing the fearless style that enabled him to secure the starting goalkeeper position out of training camp. Meara made a big save in the 20th minute off Saer Sene and deflected another attempt by Sene in the 31st minute, a shot that bounced off the right post. In the second half, the rookie made a great save on Benny Feilhabers header from directly in front of the goal in the 73rd minute and made another solid save on Feilhabers rising blast in the closing minutes. "Give the kid credit, he faked me out," Feilhaber said. "I heard him say something and he tricked me. I should have headed it past him. I should have done better. Ill have nightmares about that one for a while." cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
