MONTREAL -- After three consecutive tournament exits against low-ranked opponents, Roger Federer pulled out of next weeks Rogers Cup without giving a reason Friday. The owner of a record 17 Grand Slam titles did recently complain about a bad back, however. Federer, who turns 32 next Thursday, made the unusual move of participating in a pair of minor clay-court tournaments in the period between playing on Wimbledons grass and shifting to the North American summer hard-court season. A loss to 116th-ranked Sergiy Stakhovsky in the second round at the All England Club ended Federers streak of reaching the quarter-finals at 36 consecutive major tournaments. It also marked Federers earliest Grand Slam exit since 2003. Next came a semifinal loss on clay at Hamburg to 114th-ranked qualifier Federico Delbonis, followed by a defeat against 55th-ranked Daniel Brands in Federers opening match on clay at Gstaad, Switzerland. In addition to his bothersome back, a recurring issue, Federer was experimenting with a new, larger racket at those tournaments. Still, those results are not the sort Federer usually produces. This has been a tough season by his standards: He is 30-10 with one title in 2013. After Wimbledon, Federer tumbled to No. 5 in the ATP rankings, the first time in a decade hes been that low. Missing Montreal limits his hard-court preparation for the U.S. Open, the years last Grand Slam tournament, which begins Aug. 26. "I am disappointed not to be playing in Montreal next week," Federer said in a statement released by the tournament, which starts Monday. "It is a great tournament with amazing fans. I look forward to competing there in the future." He won the Rogers Cup when it was played in Toronto in 2004 and 2006. Federer lost to Novak Djokovic in the 2007 final at Montreal. Federers withdrawal diminishes a Montreal field that already was missing No. 8 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and former top-10 player Mardy Fish. In addition, the tournament announced Friday that Viktor Troicki and Marin Cilic wont compete. Troicki was recently suspended for 18 months by the International Tennis Federation for failing to provide blood for a drug test. He is appealing that ruling. Cilic pulled out of Wimbledon, citing an injury; he reportedly is facing a doping suspension, but the ITF has not confirmed or denied whether that is true. Ivan Dodig of Croatia and Pablo Andujar of Spain were added to the Montreal field. cheap nfl jerseys . Euro 2012 will continue on its sparkling, merry way for another week and then some.

The world No. 1 Djokovic dropped the first set against Czech veteran Radek Stepanek before charging back for a 4-6, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 victory over his 28th-seeded counterpart, while a third-seeded Federer came from two-sets- to-love down to sneak past more-than-game 29th-seeded Frenchman Julien Benneteau in five sets, 4-6, 6-7 (3-7), 6-2, 7-6 (8-6), 6-1, under the roof on Centre Court at the All England Lawn Tennis Club. http://www.cheapnfljerseyschinaplay.com/ .

NEW YORK -- Roger Goodell and DeMaurice Smith will conduct NFL labour talks later this week after letting the lawyers handle paperwork for two days. Attorneys for the NFL and the players association are sorting out contract language and details that could speed the process in reaching a new collective bargaining agreement. "The owners will not open the doors without a signed document in place," a person with knowledge of the talks told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "So this paperwork is important to get done" on Tuesday and Wednesday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because a judge has directed that details of the court-ordered mediated negotiations not be disclosed. The 1993 collective bargaining agreement was slowed by the volume of paperwork. Tuesdays meeting lasted until late afternoon. Commissioner Goodell and NFLPA chief Smith were not at the meeting at a Manhattan law firms headquarters. On Thursday, Goodell and Smith will resume their discussions, with owners and players present. Those talks could last into the weekend if a new CBA appears imminent, the person with knowledge of the talks said. The sides did not get together on weekends during negotiations over the last month. Time is gradually becoming a factor in the discussions. Training camps for the Rams and Bears are scheduled to open in less than three weeks, and those teams are scheduled to play in the Hall of Fame game on Aug. 7. The rest of the training camps would open about a week later, with a full slate of preseason games set for the second weekend in August. Talks hit a snag last week until U.S Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan, the court-appointed mediator, sstepped in and got both sides "back on track," the person said.dddddddddddd After some problems last Thursday in Minneapolis, a two-hour session on Friday was productive. A group of retired players filed a class-action complaint against the owners and current players in federal court Monday, saying they have been excluded from the mediation sessions taking place in an attempt to end the lockout. A federal court hearing on the retired players case has been set for Aug. 8 in Minnesota. Altogether 38 people, including 24 former players, were listed on the complaint, including Hall of Famers Franco Harris, Marcus Allen, Carl Eller, Mike Haynes, Ron Mix, Paul Krause, Lem Barney, Elvin Bethea and Joe DeLamielleure. The retired players were not originally part of the litigation that began after labour talks broke down on March 11, the players decertified their union and brought an antitrust lawsuit against the league. Hours later, on March 12, the NFL locked out the players. DeLamielleure said his group should be part of the process, not excluded from it. "The union is saying, DeMaurice Smith is saying, We are one team. Well, they gave us a seat but no chair," DeLamielleure said. "We really have no say-so. "Guess what: Those two guys are negotiating, the league and the union, without us again." Jeff Nixon, another of the plaintiffs, said the retired players are asking both sides to set aside an additional 3 per cent (1.5 per cent each) of league revenues -- US$9.3 billion last year. The NFL and the players had no comment Tuesday on the retirees complaint. ------ AP Sports Writer John Wawrow contributed to this story. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
