TASHKENT -- Urszula Radwanska swept aside Vitalia Diatchenko of Russia in straight sets to reach the quarterfinals of the Tashkent Open on Wednesday. Radwanska, the younger sister of third-ranked Agnieszka, used a strong serve to beat the 394th-ranked Diatchenko 6-2, 6-2. After struggling in her opening round match, the 40th-ranked Radwanska broke Diatchenko three times in the first set and twice in the second set on her to an easy win. She was joined in the last eight by fifth-seeded Alexandra Cadantu of Romania, who beat Sabina Sharipova of Uzbekistan 1-6, 6-3, 6-3. Sixth-seeded Bojana Jovanovski converted her fourth match point to beat Eleni Daniilidou of Greece 6-3, 6-7 (8), 6-3, while seventh-seed Alexandra Panova of Russia beat Misaki Doi of Japan, 6-4, 6-4. Eighth-seeded Galina Voskoboeva of Kazakhstan ousted Anna Chakvetadze of Russia 6-1, 6-3. Croatian 16-year-old qualifier Donna Vekic, who knocked out fourth-seeded Magdalena Rybarikova on Tuesday, downed Lara Arruabarrena-Vecino of Spain, 6-2, 6-2 to reach her first WTA quarterfinals. "Its an amazing feeling. Im absolutely thrilled," Vekic said. "The points are important but developing my game and as an athlete is more important for me in the next few years." The only upset of the day was from Irina -Camelia Begu of Romania, who beat third-seeded Alize Cornet of France 6-4, 6-1 in just under two hours. Begu broke Cornet to win the first set and twice broke the poor-serving Frenchwoman in the second to reach her third quarterfinal of the year. "I know Alizes game as we have played doubles with each other before so I played patiently," Begu said. "I managed to return well today. In the second set, I started hitting very well and the scores changed." cheap Jerseys china . Posey, an All-Star catcher, will earn $8 million this season.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Mark Jackson figured his Golden State Warriors could be in for a tough night, calling the Memphis Grizzlies "the best frontline in basketball" hours before tipoff. At this point, the Warriors coach should know. Zach Randolph, Rudy Gay and Marc Gasol had their way inside on both ends of the court to help the Grizzlies complete a 3-0 road trip with a 94-87 victory over the Warriors on Wednesday night. Memphis, which has won eight straight against Golden State, outscored the Warriors 60-34 in the paint. "Those are our horses," said Grizzlies guard Tony Allen, who had 10 points and four rebounds off the bench. "We ride those guys." Randolph finished with 19 points and 12 rebounds, Gay scored 18 points and Gasol added 12 points and nine rebounds as Memphis made its quick West Coast swing more memorable. The Grizzlies (23-10) also won at Phoenix on Sunday and at Sacramento on Monday, building a 1 1/2-game lead over Golden State (22-12) for fourth place in the Western Conference. "We needed this," said Gay, who also had six assists and five rebounds. "Weve been going through some ups and downs and had some lapses, some kind of lapse games. We lost a couple at home. We had to come out here for ourselves to get three out of three." Consider it done. Stephen Curry scored 24 points and Klay Thompson had 20 points, seven rebounds and seven assists as the Warriors lost back-to-back games for only the second time this season. After falling behind by five late in the fourth quarter, Curry made a pull-up 3-pointer and Thompson drew a fast-break foul to set up the tying free throws. Gasol answered with a reverse layup under heavy pressure, pumping his fist in celebration to give the Grizzlies the lead again. In the end, though, defence sent Memphis home a winner. Mike Conley stole David Lees pass before getting fouled and making both free throws. On the next possession, Jerryd Bayless blocked Jarrett Jacks shot and that led to a layup for Conley that gave the Grizzlies an 88-82 lead with 1:51 remaining. Lee followed with a jumper, but Gay answered back with an 18-footer. Currys 3-pointer brought the Warriors within three for a moment before Randolph made two free throws to finish off Golden State with 13.dddddddddddd seconds left. "You play them, youre going to get better," Jackson said. "They execute you to death and playing them is going to force you to get better." The Warriors were coming off their most lopsided loss of the season, 115-89 at the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night. They fell to 9-2 after a loss this season. The length of Randolph, Gay and Gasol gave Golden State fits on both ends of the floor. Memphis took advantage of several second-chance opportunities and started to pull away behind its big men in the second quarter. On one play, Randolph grabbed two straight offensive rebounds -- with Lee falling to the floor -- before he finished a layup through a crowd of defenders to highlight a 16-2 run to put the Grizzlies up 45-32. Two late 3-pointers and a reverse layup by Curry eased a horrible defensive half for the Warriors some. After shooting 54 per cent from the floor and going ahead by 14 points, Memphis only led 55-46 at the break. Golden State mixed in some matchup zones and held the Grizzlies to 5 for 18 shooting in the third quarter, getting a spark from Thompsons two 3s and Jacks aggressiveness off the bench. Jack got Allen in the air on a pump-fake and made a long jumper while getting fouled to start a three-point play, and Curry swished another from the perimeter to tie the game at 74 midway through the fourth. Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins sent his frontline back in the game and the trio overwhelmed the Warriors when it mattered most. "Thats the strength of their team, is grinding in the paint and offensive rebounding," Lee said. "Its disappointing, because thats been one of our strengths throughout the season, and weve just got to come back and do a better job of it next game." NOTES: Warriors C Andrew Bogut did some light shooting and jogging before the game. He has not played since Nov. 7 while he recovers from the lingering effects of microfracture surgery on his left ankle. ... Grizzlies G Josh Selby was not with the team for personal reasons. ...
