GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador -- Canada trails Ecuador 2-0 at the Davis Cup on Friday after the first day of action in the Americas Zone Group I second round tie. Ryan Allen Womens Jersey Elite . Vasek Pospisil of Vernon, B.C., dropped the opening singles match to Ivan Endara 6-3, 6-4, 6-7 (6), 6-3, while Vancouvers Philip Bester was unable to even the score, falling to Julio-Cesar Campozano 7-6 (4), 6-7 (4), 7-5, 6-2 in the evenings second pairing. "Davis Cup is so unpredictable with varying conditions and boisterous crowds often playing a huge role and rankings really go right out the window," said Canadas team captain Martin Laurendeau. "We are obviously in a tough position now, but we have come back from this before and we will come out tomorrow, take it one match at a time and try to claw our way back into it." Canada needs to win all three remaining matches in the best-of-five series to claim victory over Ecuador. A win over Ecuador will advance the Canadian squad to a World Group playoff in September while a loss will keep them in the Americas Zone Group I for 2012. After going down 3-0 to start the match, Pospisil regained some composure and started to hold serve on the clay court. It looked as though he had turned it around after saving a match point, winning the third set in a tiebreak and going up a break 3-1 in the fourth, but Endara stormed back to win five straight games and the match. "Im disappointed that I wasnt able to get the win today but I had some good moments and we have practiced a lot this week on the clay so Im getting more and more comfortable with the conditions," said Pospisil, who was playing in his first Davis Cup singles match. "Im looking forward to coming out again tomorrow in doubles and trying to secure that crucial point for the team." Pospisil is the highest-ranked singles player in the tie at No. 191. It was then up to Bester, in his first Davis Cup action since 2006, to try and even the score. He squandered two set points at 6-5 and went on to lose a tough tiebreak. The match remained tight throughout, with Bester taking another tiebreak in the second set. A break late in the third restored Campozanos lead. Bester, ranked No. 229 on the ATP Tour, was unable to recover in the fourth set ceding the second point of the day to the opposition. Play continues Saturday with doubles play as Pospisil and Torontos Daniel Nestor -- ranked No. 4 in the world in doubles -- will take on Ecuadors duo of Roberto Quiroz and Emilio Gomez. Sunday will have the reverse singles with Pospisil playing Campozano and Bester facing Endara. Team captains may substitute their players up to an hour prior to the start of the match. Peter Polansky of Thornhill, Ont., is the fourth member of Canadas Davis Cup squad. Milos Raonic, also from Thornhill, was unable to play for Canada after having hip surgery on July 5. The No. 26 singles player in the world -- and Canadas highest-ranked player -- injured himself at Wimbledon.

Mens Black Tedy Bruschi Elite Jersey . -- Cole Hamels allowed two runs and four hits in four innings, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat a Boston Red Sox split squad 10-5 on Saturday. http://www.patriotsproshop.us.com/12-Womens-Tom-Brady-Elite- Jersey-Team-Road-Two-Tone-Nike-NFL-New-England-Patriots-Nike 40423-7.html . Terry Collins is coming back confident better days lie ahead. "Maybe we can finish what we started," he said. The manager received a two-year contract extension Monday with a club option for 2016, a move the Mets announced one day after finishing 74-88 for the second consecutive season.SINGAPORE -- Formula One championship leader Sebastian Vettel signalled he is on course to clinch the title this weekend by setting the fastest time in Fridays practice sessions for the Singapore Grand Prix. The Red Bull driver was two tenths of a second quicker than Ferraris Fernando Alonso in the second session, with McLarens Lewis Hamilton third fastest as the top three teams dominated. Ferraris Felipe Massa was fourth quickest around Marina Bay, with Red Bulls Mark Webber fifth and Mercedes Michael Schumacher sixth. Jenson Buttons second session came to an end early after he failed to negotiate a turn and -- unable to select reverse gear -- was forced to leave his McLaren car parked on the circuit. Vettel leads the championship by 112 points and if he gathers 13 points more than his closest rival Alonso on Sunday, then he would have successfully defended his title with five races to spare. "I feel its a weekend where we have a good car, looks like its a competitive car to be able to fight for the podium," Vettel said. "We still have to make adjustments overnight and do our homework." While Vettel was not prepared to be too bullish looking ahead to Sunday, Hamilton acknowledged that Fridays performance shows the German will again be hard to beat. "We feel we were doing pretty well but then we were struggling with the rear tires," Hamilton said. "They drop off very quickly and its something we need to improve on. "I suspect tomorrow there will be a gap in qualifying between us and (Vettel) unless theres a big difference in fuel load or something like that. Tim Wright Jersey. Getting him will be very difficult but not impossible. The pace he had right now, its very difficult for us to get to that kind of pace." Alonso said Ferraris good pace on long runs and the fast rate of tire degradation on the bumpy and abrasive street circuit should benefit his team. "We may have an opportunity," Alonso said. Toro Rosso driver Sebastien Buemi collided with one of the concrete barriers that hems in the tight street circuit, snapping the front right suspension. Force Indias Adrian Sutil was seventh fastest while his teammate Paul di Resta had little running due to a brake and hydraulic problem that had his car being rebuilt for much of the session. The Sauber pair of Sergio Perez and Kamui Kobayashi were eighth and ninth on the timesheets, with Button in 10th. Fridays opening practice was delayed by half an hour -- and reduced to only an hour rather than the scheduled 90 minutes -- by loose curbing. The problem recurred late in the session when a bolt in the curbing came loose, prompting hasty repairs and a red flag. The curbing was removed at Turn 13 for the second session and was expected to be replaced before Saturdays pre-qualifying practice. "I guess there will be some further changes, some of the curbs will be removed from some corners and some they will repair," Alonso said. cheap jerseys ' ' '
