Masters of their Trade Nadal and Djokovic at the top of the tree One to WatchFourth seed Stan Wawrinka has been woefully out of sorts since winning the Dubai Open in February and Australias Nick Kyrgios is a very obvious threat - the pair also have previous after a verbal altercation in Montreal revolving around Wawrinkas girlfriend Donna Vekic.Already this season, the 21-year-old from Canberra has claimed his maiden ATP title with a win in Marseille and made no fewer than three semi-finals, one of which ended in him retiring injured against Wawrinka in Dubai while the Aussie produced a career best Masters effort in reaching the last four in Miami Masters. Stan Wawrinka and Nick Kyrgios have not always seen eye-to-eye Wawrinka, a double Grand Slam champion, has suffered defeats to David Goffin and Andrey Kuznetsov in Masters events this year and despite a run to the semi-final in Monte Carlo, he was outgunned by Rafa Nadal and could be an early casualty in Spain this week.Surprise in StoreThe clay is always capable of throwing up an upset or two and already this week weve had 12th seed David Goffin and 14th seed Dominic Thiem fall by the wayside as well as Grigor Dimitrov, Philipp Kohlschreiber and Bernard Tomic falling to players ranked below them. Fabio Fognini , the maverick Italian capable of stunning the worlds best Wednesday could be a similar tale with Italian maverick and clay-court specialist Fabio Fognini more than capable of surprising number six seed Kei Nishikori.Fognini beat Tomic on Tuesday in their first round encounter and while he has been below his best for much of the season with several early exits, but coupled with his favourite surface, a top-ten player and a high-profile event that is usually when the mercurial Italian is at his best.The pair have met on one previous occasion with Nishikori victorious in four sets at the 2011 Australian Open, and Fognini is a very different threat on the red dirt with all three of his career titles coming on clay. In Case You Missed ItBernard Tomic was a first round casualty on Tuesday and effectively handed his opponent victory at match point in Madrid.

The agreement comes a little more than one week after the video game manufacturer agreed to a $40 million settlement in a similar but separate case, bringing the total payout planned for athletes to $60 million, said Steve Berman, an attorney for the plaintiffs, and the NCAA.PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh spent four games last June futilely flailing away at Tuukka Rask as the Boston goalie shoved the Penguins out of the Eastern Conference finals one remarkable save at a time. Any real chance at payback wont come until the playoff. Still, Pittsburgh knows its taut 3-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night is a pretty good place to start laying the groundwork. "They are a very good defensive team," Penguins forward Brandon Sutter said. "To get chances and capitalize on them is huge. Thats a big building block for us." Sutter and Jussi Jokinen scored 6:58 apart in the third period and the Penguins held on. Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 21 shots for Pittsburgh, including a sliding save on David Krejci just before the final horn. Chris Kunitz picked up his sixth goal of the season for the Penguins while Sidney Crosbys assist pushed his points total to an NHL-high 21. "We played the right way and we were the better team tonight," Jokinen said. "It kind of felt like a playoff game, a little bit those same matchups like last spring. Lots of hitting, lots of battles." Battles the Penguins won. Then again, thats what happens this time of year. Pittsburgh is 9-1 in its last 10 regular-season games against Boston. Patrice Bergeron and Jarome Iginla scored for the Bruins. Rask finished with 28 saves, but couldnt stop Boston from dropping a road game for the first time this season. "We didnt play to our identity," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "We didnt play a heavy game for two periods tonight. We had to play three periods like we did in the third and that wasnt the case." The meeting between the teams was the first since Bostons emphatic four-game sweep in the Eastern Conference finals, when the Bruins suffocated the NHLs highest scoring team into submission. The Penguins scored only twice in nearly 14 periods of hockey and never led at any point, undone by Bostons defence and a near flawless performance by Rask, who stopped 134 of 136 shots in the series. Nearly five months later, little has changed. "I think the intensity and the atmosphere, not quite sure it was April and May and June, but it waas certainly a good night for a Wednesday night rivalry game in October," Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said.dddddddddddd Kunitz gave the Penguins a 1-0 lead in the second period when he collected a shot from teammate Kris Letang with his chest then backhanded by Rask with his back to the net. The power-play goal was the fifth given up by the Bruins in their last seven penalty kills. Bergeron tied it 1:05 into the third period with a tricky deflection between his legs over Fleurys shoulder. The fun was just starting. Sutter took a pass from Pascal Dupuis and raced in on Rask, wristing a shot over the goalies shoulder for his first regular-season goal since April. "He leaned on it and I went down and then he shot it," Rask said. "I told him good shot." Jokinen followed with 3:02 remaining when he forced a turnover high in Bostons zone and broke in on Rask, using a screen to whisk the puck past Rasks stick for his sixth goal. The Penguins ended up needing the cushion. Iginlas slap shot from the point zipped by Fleury with 1:43 left and Boston spent the final 90 seconds buzzing the Pittsburgh net but couldnt tie it up. "We didnt give too many chances but we couldnt stop them," Rask said. "Thats just about it. Weve got to stop giving up these third-period goals." The injury riddled Penguins have tweaked their formula a bit since June, trying to play a bit more responsibly on their end of the ice while still relying on Crosby and Evgeni Malkin to carry the offence. Bostons roster underwent a slightly more aggressive overhaul, including the signing of Iginla. He spent two months with the Penguins last spring in search of his first Stanley Cup title after more than 15 years in Calgary. He had five goals and six assists in 13 regular-season games with Pittsburgh and had four more goals in the playoffs but disappeared against the Bruins, though he was hardly alone. Iginlas return barely caused a stir. There was no video tribute or hand from the crowd. Only when he was knocked to the ice by Malkin and Kris Letang to end the first period -- and again dropped by Malkin in the second -- did a faint level of disapproval arise. ' ' '
