seeing the light at the end of the tunnel,

New South Wales Blues 1. James Tedesco - 7 - Went into the game under pressure but responded with a positive debut and will be hard to remove from the Blues number one jersey next year.?2. Blake Ferguson - 6 - His best game of the series. Always looked to get more involved than first two games.3. Michael Jennings - 6?- Jet-boot Jennings looked like he had run out of fuel until the 79th minute when the afterburners kicked in for the match-winning try.4. Josh Dugan - 6 - Was solid in his first game of this years series and had a busy night trying to contain Greg Inglis until departing with injury.5. Josh Mansour - 5?- Put his hand up for some strong runs but a dreadful error 5 minutes from full-time gifted Queensland the lead.14. Matt Moylan - 6?- Played out of position at five-eighth and was uncomfortable early but improved as game went on.6. James Maloney - 8 - Another excellent contribution. Has been one of the Blues best this series and was again in game three.8. Aaron Woods - 8 - Tough game and never shirked his duty of taking on the Queensland pack.9. Robbie Farah - 6?- Tried hard but doesnt seem to have the spark he once had.10. Paul Gallen - 7?-?Another tradesman-like performance from the retiring skipper - a performance that typified his Origin career - iced with the final conversion.11. Wade Graham - 7?- Scored New South Wales first try but was guilty of going missing at times.12. Josh Jackson - 7 - Tireless in defence and always willing to cart the ball up in attack.13. Tyson Frizell - 8 - It is clear from his two Origin games that he is made for this arena. Another strong contribution capped with his second Blues try.?Interchange: 6. Jack Bird - 5 - Was injected late in the match and failed to have much impact. 15. James Tamou - 6?- Added little off the bench and was guilty of a soft turnover of possession at a crucial period in the first half.16. David Klemmer - 6 - Regularly bent the line with some strong runs and provided some intimidation for the Blues. 17. Andrew Fifita - 6 - Provided some impetus for the Blues with his first Origin try but his good work was overshadowed by a brain explosion that saw him got to the sin-bin. ?Queensland Maroons 1. Darius Boyd - 7?- Organised the Queensland defence superbly and was regularly a threat with ball in hand.2. Corey Oates - 6- Made some strong hit ups to help the forwards but largely anonymous.3. Greg Inglis - 7?- Put in a busy shift but after scoring the opening try most of his night was spent defending.4. Justin ONeill - 5 - Did nothing wrong but didnt have much opportunity to either.5. Dane Gagai - 5 - Did receive the service or the freedom he had in game two and struggled to get involved.6. Johnathan Thurston - 7?- Was well contained in the first half but still made the Blues nervous when he was near the ball.7. Cooper Cronk - 6?- Offered little and off his game - spent time in sin-bin for professional foul.8. Matt Scott - 8?- Met the Blues front-on and rarely took a backward step. Bruising effort from one of the games best props.9. Cameron Smith - 7 - At his niggly, scheming and manipulating best - played a major role in everything Queensland did.10. Nate Myles - 6?- Failed to provide much impact but was a strong effort just to be out there after missing game two with a knee injury that threatened to end his season.11. Matt Gillett - 7?- Took on a heavy defensive workload and was hard to handle with the ball. This series has been the making of him at Origin level.12. Sam Thaiday - 6 - Worked hard in defence and carried the ball up strongly but became most involved when there was a potential flare-up.13. Corey Parker - 7 - His final Origin game was exactly like his previous 18 appearances - tough and uncompromising.Interchange: 14. Gavin Cooper - 7 - His first real Origin involvement resulted in a try on debut.15. Josh McGuire - 7 - Did his job with a minimum of fuss and maximum effort. 16. Aidan Guerra - 5 - Highlights were few and far between and his job seemed to be to just come off the bench to give team mates a rest. 17. Jacob Lillyman - 7 - Rolled the sleeves up and put in a strong shift in defence when Queensland were really under the pump. Cheap Jordan Retro Shoes For Sale .

Cheap Jordan Retro 11 Sale . The catch: It needs a lot of money, and it needs it fast. NEW YORK -- Juan Martin del Potro and Janko Tipsarevic found themselves on a practice court together at Wimbledon, though they spent more time talking than hitting the ball.They swapped tales of undergoing surgery after surgery, of the anguish of missing so much tennis and wondering if their injuries would ever heal.We were basically interrupting each other with what was going on through our minds in this, like moments of depression and sadness, just not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, Tipsarevic recalled.Tuesday was a moment of joy and relief for both men. The two former top-10 players currently ranked in the triple digits each won a U.S. Open match for the first time since 2013.Since his last appearance at Flushing Meadows three years ago, del Potro needed three left wrist surgeries and contemplated retiring. The 2009 U.S. Open champ went 2+ years between majors before coming back at Wimbledon, where he upset Stan Wawrinka.Then at the Olympics, del Potro beat Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal en route to the silver medal. He returned home to a heros welcome in Argentina.It wasnt exactly the best way to recharge, though, physically and emotionally.To be honest, Im still feeling tired, for sure, del Potro said.Looked just fine against fellow Argentine Diego Schwartzman on Tuesday, when del Potro won 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 (3), urged along by appreciative fans.Tipsarevic didnt have the crowd on his side when he faced American Sam Querrey, who upset fellow Serb Djokovic in the third round at Wimbledon.No matter, Tipsarevic beat the 29th-seeded Querrey 7-6 (4), 6-7 (0), 6-3, 6-3 for his first victory at any major since the 2013 U.S. Open.He played a few more tournaments that season -- then didnt return to competition for more than two years.Even in the first six or seven or eight months, it wasnt that bad, he recalled.Tipsarevic was taking so many painkillers in 2013 because of a bum left foot that they were causing liver problems.I was really screwed up, he said. So in the beginning it was a little bit of a relief, saying, `OK, Im going to take two, three months off, skip to Australian Open, be hungry, come back.Instead, Tipsarevic first underwent surgery on his foot for a benign tumor in May 2014, and because of complications, he needed a second procedure that September.ddddddddddddWith other injuries, a player can at least do some kinds of workouts to ease the mind. But he spent four months mostly confined to bed.I even played tennis for a while sitting on a chair because I couldnt stand, Tipsarevic said. Im not crying you a river here -- Im just telling you how it actually was.Not only did he hate tennis then -- he hated all sports. He was too jealous of any athlete to take in a game.They could run and do what they like, and Im just sitting at home and watching TV, he said.His one solace was his young daughter. Back on court in 2015, Tipsarevic lost seven straight tour-level matches during one stretch, also missing time because of a knee injury. Hes No. 250 in the world now, and the two-time U.S. Open quarterfinalist got in this year with a protected ranking.For Querrey, it was a tough first-round matchup as he failed to build on the Djokovic win in the next major after Wimbledon, where he made his first Grand Slam quarterfinal. He hurt his back in Toronto, and said it was just tough to kind of get the motor rolling again.Another American, 19th-seeded Steve Johnson, is up next for del Potro. Johnson was down two sets and a break to 79th-ranked Evgeny Donskoy on Tuesday and saved six match points in the third before winning 4-6, 1-6, 7-6 (2), 6-3, 6-3 in 3 hours, 13 minutes.Before the 142nd-ranked del Potro received a wild card from the U.S. Tennis Association into the tournament, Johnson noted that if that happened, it was possible the Argentine could defeat an American in the first round. Now its Johnson meeting del Potro in the second.He was fuming that he felt his quote was taken out of context -- he pointed out he also said del Potro was deserving of the wild card.Johnson insisted he felt fresh after Tuesdays five-setter. Hell need to be Thursday against an opponent who again is eyeing deep runs at majors.The worst part of my life is totally in the past, del Potro said, and Im living a good present and looking forward for a good future.
