CHENNAI, India -- Second-seeded Janko Tipsarevic of Serbia overhauled surprise semifinalist Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia 4-6, 6-2, 6-2 on Saturday and will play Roberto Bautista-Agut of Spain for the Chennai Open title. Bautista-Agut, ranked 80th in the world, followed up his stunning win over top seed and sixth-ranked Tomas Berdych with another unlikely win, this time over fifth-seeded Frenchman Benoit Paire 3-6, 6-1, 6-4. Ninth-ranked Tipsarevic, who lost a close final to Canadian player Milos Raonic here last year, praised Bedene and predicted he would soon be a top-50 player. Tipsarevic, playing his fourth straight semifinal here, dropped serve in the ninth game to lose the first set. But his better temperament held him in good stead as he took control with better serves and by cutting down on errors. He managed to break in the second game and clinched the second set easily. In the decider, he ran up a 4-1 lead and completed the victory in just over two hours. Tipsarevic felt a closely fought seventh game of the deciding set had been crucial. "Had he won that game, he would have come back strongly," Tipsarevic said. "I know Ill be the favourite for tomorrows final but I dont want to bother about that and will just focus on my game." Bedene felt he had done his best in the match. "The first set was really good for me but I did not stay focused all the time," Bedene said. "Tipsarevic is one of the best players but I hope I can beat him next time." In the second semifinal, Bautista-Agut showed his win over Berdych was not a fluke as he overcame Paire. Paire slammed 14 aces but could not match Bautista-Aguts better overall game. "This is the best week of my life," Bautista-Agut said. "Tomorrow will be the second top 10 player I will face in my life after Berdych (in the quarterfinals). It also happens to be my first final ever and I will be putting my best effort to win."

Kerry Fraser wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! ----- Kerry, During the first period of the Sharks-Canucks game Sunday night, a Sharks player lost his stick in the defensive zone and Vancouver had control of the puck. The referee proceeded to toss the stick from behind the goal line all the way out of the zone to centre ice. What is the protocol in this situation? I understand getting the stick out of the way of the play, but tossing the stick outside the zone when it isnt broken seems excessive and put the Sharks at a definite disadvantage! Thanks - Daniel Hogue, Denver Hey Daniel: I have to think that the stick was broken in some fashion and deemed unfit for play by the referee and that he would have inspected it or test/flexed it before firing out to the linesman for safe removal from the ice. I have certainly picked up broken sticks as quickly as possible in the end zone so as not to interfere with puck movement and if the lane is clear toss it to the blue line if a linesman happens to be on that side. If in fact the stick was not broken, as you suggest, it would be a huge error for the ref to discard it and good reason for the player to jump all over him. Insult to injury would have been added if the player without his stick took a holding penalty while playing without his stick that now rested in the neutral zone — ouch. I hope none of that is the case. ----- Hey Kerry, My question is about positioning - there seem to be quite a few refs that seem to be in a bad spot to make calls quite often. Is there a league guideline on positioning for certain plays? It infuriates me when I see a ref blow a loose puck dead because hes hanging out at the side boards, rather than being close to a scrum at the front of the net. John Saquella - New Jersey John: I have to tell you this really bothers me as well. If the referee is IN the play or becomes PART of the play he is unable to see effectively to make a call. I dont want to make this answer a referee positioning seminar but I need to cover some basics. In 1982 I designed a referee positioning philosophy that was ultimately adopted by the Canadian Hockey Association and portions of which were incorporated by USA Hockey. One of the primary premises of the philosophy is to recognize key areas on the ice where players most frequently battle for the puck or occupy space. Prime battle areas are the corners of the end zone extending back behind the goal and primary cycle areas down low. The referee needs to read the play in advance and vacate these high traffic areas as he keeps the play in front of him wherever possible. The area that the referee should work along the side boards in the end zone extends from the goal line up to the hash marks at the faceoff circle against the boards. If he is bumped by play to either of these "last stand" lines the referee should pivot out allowing play to go behind him for a split second then rotate his hips and push back on a 45-degree angle to assume the other safe vantage point. If the lane is clear behind the goal then he should skate backward quickly, well in advance of the play collapsing behind him, to the assume a safe position away from the battle on the other side of the net; all the while looking at the play in front of him. From the goal line a referee should work like a piston driving back and forth along the line depending on where play is. If the puck is being battled for on the opposite side of the net to where the ref is standing he should be close to halfway along the goal line from the end boards and the net. As play approaches him he should retreat toward the side wall and bump up toward the hash marks as play dictates. When play is at the goal it is imperative that the referee drives to the net in a scramble. Rather than the whistle blowing because the "referee lost sight of the puck," I believe patience with the whistle is more often required and it is the referees job to find the puck prior to killing the play even if he must quickly get to the other side of the net to determine this. Example being that the referee locates the puck and knows it is frozen in the goalies glove or under his pad as opposed to sitting uncovered but out of the view of the referee. What drives me crazy is when I see the referees standing in the highest traffic area in the end zone; namely with their back to the end boards straddling the goalie trapezoid line. This is no mans land for a referee. Players battle for the puck here in a restricted space and the referee often becomes part of the play as players collapse on him from both sides. Its at point that the referee at the blue line has to lend support and perhaps make a long distance call. The bottom line here is to give way to the players in the high traffic areas in advance of the battles and establish a continuous neutral vantage point to view the play. ----- Hey Mr. Fraser, Which arena has been the toughest to ref in the NHL? I know us Habs fans can be unfair to refs and always in an uproar, but do we top that list? Sacha Cloutier Sacha: I loved working in Montreal. AAside from the class and tradition that exudes from the Canadiens organization, it was the Montreal fans knowledge of the game along with the energy and enthusiasm they created that I most appreciated.ddddddddddddI worked many big games in both the Forum and the Bell Centre; as a matter of fact I worked the very first NHL game played at the Bell Centre. Mark Messier and his New York Rangers were the guests. After the first puck drop play stopped for an icing. I immediately retrieved the puck off the ice and asked the linesman to get another one. At the end of the period I placed white tape around the puck and marked it as the first puck dropped at an NHL game in the new Bell Centre. After the game I presented the puck to Ronald Corey, President of the Montreal Canadiens. I felt it important that the franchise, so deep in hockey history, should have the first puck dropped in their new residence to display as they deemed fit. The Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers faithful fans also made games in their arena a special place for me to work. I found their fans to be demanding of all the game participants (including their players) but also knew them to be fair. The most difficult building for me to work in was Le Colisee in Quebec City. It was always such, but became that way following the Alain Cote goal I disallowed in Game 5 of the Nordiques-Canadiens playoff series in 1987. That game was played in the Montreal Forum but Nordique fans (and Michel Bergeron) still remember it well. One night in Le Colisee, a few years after "the disallowed goal" the Hartford Whalers were the guests. The Nordiques werent having a great season and their fans were getting very frustrated with their play. The Whalers continued to add to their lead as the Nordiques took penalties. A jovial crowd, knowing the game was lost, held one end of toilet paper rolls and proceeded to drop them from the balcony level. As the papier de toilette rolled over the glass and onto the ice the patrons began to laugh. The crowd then turned riotous as they soaked the rolls in water (or another substance from the toilet) and began firing them like missiles at their least favourite referee. I started patrolling centre ice in an attempt to avoid personal injury. I postponed the game and sent both teams to the dressing room in an attempt for security to restore some order. After a cooling off period the game resumed and I filed a report with NHL Vice President, Brian ONeill who took swift action. The very next day all of the toilet paper rolls were removed from bathroom stalls in Le Colisee and replaced with "single wipe" dispensers. If I ever make it into the Hockey Hall of Fame might it be in the "Builders Category"? ----- Hi Kerry, Before the lockout it was a war in front of the net, and warriors like Ryan Smyth had more than their share of dirty hockey sticks marks stamped at the back of their jerseys. We are told that under the new NHL this has changed, although some level of contact seems still tolerated. Could you please differentiate between whats an illegal way to move the offensive player from the front of the net (clearing the path to the puck for the goalie) and actions that are tolerated by referees? Thanks, Pierre Daoust Pierre: Nobody cleared the front of the net like Chris Pronger with hard cross-checks. In the new NHL penalties were to be called when a player extended his arms in a cross-check manner and Chris really adapted well. For the most part when an extension of the arms takes place a penalty is assessed. I was watching the early stages of Game 5 between Nashville and the Canucks where Shane OBrien and Ryan Kesler were really working each other with multiple, hard, full extension cross-checks to the upper body. No call was forthcoming so a generous standard was set for the night; that is until Dave Legwand crossed the cross-check line at 16:04 of the second period for the games only penalty in this catagory. You see most of the defencemen front the attacking player and choose not to battle or attempt to move the attacker from the front of the net. Establishing body position at the crease is the desired location to provide a screen, deflection or obtain a rebound by the attacking player. (Think of Tomas Holmstrom; Patric Hornqvist; Ryan Kesler - that guys everywhere!) This only works when the shot from the point gets through so fronting the play allows for better shot blocking. Battles that occur down low in the crease area are where you see hand-to-hand combat. Body position is crucial here for the defensive player to legally battle or engage the attacking player. If there is separation between the two players and the defensive player is at a positional disadvantage, some illegal tactic is often used to tie up or reestablish position. This is where you might see a cross-check from behind; a reach to grab or a hook that takes a player down. Battles where there is little or no separation between players generally become strength-on-strength issues and the rules of engagement allow for more leeway. The best answer to your question is to keep your friends close and your enemies closer... cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
