Blainville, Quebecs Aleksandra Wozniak reflects on working with her new coach and her preparation for Roland Garros in her personal blog on RDS.ca and TSN.ca. Its been a few months since I officially began working with my coach Nathalie Tauziat. During my long absence from competition (due to my shoulder injury), it was my father - a former coach - who was by my side. Because I wasnt fully recovered and I hadnt had the opportunity to test my shoulder in game situations, my comeback in New Haven last August didnt appear wise. Tennis Canada then asked me to do a one-week trial in Florida with Nathalie shortly after the end of her stint with Eugenie Bouchard last October. We had our first experience working together two month later when Nathalie came to Boca Raton for the Fed Cup camp at Chris Everts Tennis Academy. And I felt good chemistry from the start - she made a great first impression. Under these new circumstances, I decided to continue my comeback, starting with the Shenzhen tournament and Melbourne qualifications. Then off to tournaments in Acapulco, Indian Wells and Miami. We get to know more during these tournaments while continuing my progress, which is still a big challenge after a long absence. Its an important adaptation for both the player and the coach. And Im glad I started this association. Its gone well and its helped me a lot - technically and strategically. As a former player - a World No. 3 and a finalist at Wimbledon in addition - she brings a lot of experience from the field. She brings me so much at all levels, including the right attitude to adapt, and we communicate really well. It was my father who taught me to play tennis. He taught me to recognize the feeling on the court and taught me the technique. Nathalie also works great on the same aspects, so I already felt comfortable with it. Even before the player-coach relationship, shes very friendly and open to working with anyone. She overcame many obstacles in her life and we share the same sense of perseverance. It takes character to achieve this level of competitiveness on the circuit. You have to fight every week and every game and keep a good attitude to remain at your best. Players like Maria Sharapova are successful because they have the attitude, character and they fight their challenges. Now were preparing for qualifying at Roland Garros. Im so happy to participate - I couldnt take part in my favorite Grand Slam last year because I was still undergoing rehabilitation. And I love the clay - my favorite playing surface! But I still have much work to do - like learning to slide at the right time, showing more patience and knowing when to play each type of ball. From a bigger viewpoint, Im still trying to find my game from before. Ive lost my feeling - my sense of anticipation and reaction - but now my bodys used to more tennis. Were working on the length of my ball, strategiesand my change of pace to have a more complete arsenal. Ive always been a complete player - thats to say I dont play only as flat as I can hit the ball early and make changes of pace. Its for these reasons that I was able to stay in the Top 50 in the past (as high as 21st in the world). By changing my pace and using an offensive style, I think I can beat highly-ranked players. Its important to have the as much strength as possible in this game. https://www.facebook.com/WozAlekshttp://...iak.com/Twitter @alekswoz Cheap Carlos Zambrano Jersey . - Maxence Parrot of Bromont, Que.

Cheap Chicago Cubs Jerseys .ca! There is plenty of blame to be shared as a result of the most recent NHL player (Pittsburghs Brooks Orpik) to be evacuated from the ice on a stretcher following an ugly incident Saturday night in Boston. Cheap Cubs Jerseys Authentic . Now the Minnesota Vikings have set their sights on soccer.Thumbs down to Craig MacTavishs idea of damage control. The Friday press conference was an attempt to show some frustration and concern, if not as much as the fans are feeling, for the losing ways of the Edmonton Oilers. But I’ll offer the same advice I gave NFL commissioner Roger Goodell when he emerged from privacy to deal with criticism: Dont take questions if you have no answers. Feeding hot air to meat-eating reporters and customers hungry for wins can only make things worse. Should MacTavish have fired a coach, announced a trade, called for a front-office shakeup - should he have done something to avoid saying nothing? Well, put it this way: the Oilers should not be in 30th place. Never mind what they have, dont have, or should have; they shouldnt be in last place and it rings hollow to suggest they can escape the cellar with the same people who are responsible for them being there. Thumbs up, well, no, llets say hats off to Bryan Little for his Friday hat trick in the Winnipeg Jets 6-2 win over Colorado.dddddddddddd It wasnt just any hat trick. Littles three-goal performance was the teams first in a 287-game stretch that dates back to the days when the Jets were the Atlanta Thrashers, and during that time, every other NHL franchise celebrated at least one hat trick. So, happy Winnipeg fans finally got a chance to throw some old, unwanted hats on the ice and stores that sell new ones are liable to see an increase in sales for the Christmas season. Littles hat trick was the 20th this NHL season, and 15 of them have been scored by players on Western Conference teams. Colorado isnt one of those teams, and Avalanche players had to be envious of Little. The last Colorado hat trick was by Matt Duchene on Nov. 4, 2011. Patrick Roy is liable to throw something other than a hat if that drought doesn’t end.
