SYDNEY, Australia -- Grand Slam champions Samantha Stosur and Francesca Schiavone will meet in the first round of the Sydney International -- a rematch of their 2010 French Open final won by the Italian player. The high-profile encounter is a byproduct of the strength of the field -- nine of the top 10 players in the WTA rankings are entered in tournament which begins Sunday. U.S. Open champion Stosur, who lost in the second round at the Brisbane International this week, is the fifth-seeded player, while 11th-ranked Schiavone was outside the eight seeds. Top-ranked Caroline Wozniacki, and Wimbledon champion and second-seeded Petra Kvitova have first-round byes. Third-seeded Victoria Azarenka and fourth-seeded Li Na of China, the 2011 French Open champion, have both drawn qualifiers in the first round. Li, also the Sydney defending champion, said drawing a qualifier didnt mean shed have an easy route to the second round. "This tournament is always tough, even in the qualies," Li said. "Its stronger than any other tournament ... I play a qualifier, and thats not easy either. I know I won last year, but this year is another story." Wozniackis top half of the draw is slightly easier than the bottom, where the winner of the Stosur-Schiavone match could face Kvitova in the quarterfinals at the Olympic Tennis Centre. Kvitova could take over the top ranking from Wozniacki if she wins the Sydney event. Juan Martin del Potro, top-seeded in the mens draw, No. 2-seeded John Isner, third-seeded Richard Gasquet and No. 4-seeded Feliciano Lopez have first-round byes. Australian Lleyton Hewitt, a four-time Sydney titleholder, will play fifth-seeded Viktor Troicki of Serbia in the first round. Hewitt is in the top half of the draw with del Potro and former champion Marcos Baghdatis. Harrison Barnes Warriors Jersey . Hell be hard-pressed to match an unbeaten streak like this, though. Tanaka had his unbeaten regular-season run snapped at 42 starts, allowing a career-high four runs in six innings, and the Chicago Cubs beat the New York Yankees 6-1 on Tuesday night. Wilt Chamberlain Jersey . Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Buddy Robinson scored 43 seconds apart in the second period to lead the Binghamton Senators to a 4-1 victory over the Bulldogs in American Hockey League action Friday night at the Bell Centre. http://www.officialwarriorsstore.com/authentic-and...rs-jers ey/ . The German canoeist says she is suffering from a heart muscle inflammation and has been told by doctors that she cannot compete. Andrew Bogut Warriors Jersey . -- If the Bears make changes this off-season, it will not be at quarterback. Golden State Warriors Jersey . The Oilers have the third selection in Friday nights first round, a year after taking Darnell Nurse seventh and two years removed from a streak of three consecutive No. CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Magic coach Jacque Vaughn had been eagerly awaiting the return of Nikola Vucevic to his starting lineup. The 7-foot centre showed why Wednesday night. Vucevic had a double-double in the first half after missing the last four games with a sprained left ankle, Jameer Nelson had 12 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter and the Orlando Magic snapped a six-game losing streak with a 92-83 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats. Glen Davis added 17 points and 12 rebounds and Arron Afflalo chipped in with 16 points. "We needed this one," Davis said. "We needed it bad. We are a good team. We just all got to be healthy, you know what I mean? Look at what Nik did out there today. Weve been missing that. Its been tough for us in the paint. He loosens everything up for me, most definitely. Him being a factor out there, people have to guard him and also hes going to get rebounds and help us with fast-break points." Orlando had 36 points in the paint and outrebounded the Bobcats 52-41. The Magic scored 17 points off second-chance points, many of those rebounds kept alive by Vucevic. Vucevic, who was a game-time decision, finished with 12 points and 14 rebounds for his 10th double-double of the season. "Just overall you see rotation-wise, we were a little bit more concrete and had a little bit more flow to our rotations tonight," Vaughn said. "We had favourable matchups at different parts of the game, and when he can match up against Al Jefferson thats pretty good for us." Nelson came up with a big 3-pointer late for the Magic, and also had seven rebounds and six assists while outplaying opposing point guard Kemba Walker. The Magic led by four with just over a minute remaining in the game when Nelson knocked down a 26-footer from the top of the key to push the lead to 86-79. The Bobcats cut it back to five, but Nelson beat Walker on a drive for a layup to push the lead back to seven with 42 seconds left and essentially seal the victory. Seven Orlando players finished in double figures in scoring. "I think that is how we have to play," Vucevic said. "We dont really have a goo-to guy on this team that is going to score 20 a game.dddddddddddd You got to have a different guy scoring." The Bobcats shot 37 per cent in ending their two-game win streak. Jefferson led Charlotte with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Walker, who had 31 points against Stephen Curry on Monday night, was held to 10 points on 4-of-18 shooting. Orlando led 43-42 at the break behind a productive first half from Vucevic, who had 12 points and 11 rebounds while outplaying Jefferson inside. After going 13 straight games without giving up 100 points, the Bobcats second-ranked defence allowed 111 points to Golden State on Monday night in a four-point victory, prompting coach Steve Clifford to say tongue-in-cheek "we shut them down." While the Bobcats limited the Magic to 42 per cent shooting, they couldnt get their offence going and the ball wouldnt go down. Charlottes trio of Walker, Gerald Henderson and Jefferson were a combined 11 of 42 from the field. "I think our team for the most part all year our effort has been exceptional. Tonight our readiness from our starters was poor," Clifford said. "... We got outworked on the glass. We came in as the No. 1 rebounding team in the NBA and for whatever reason tonight didnt put the effort in, the physicality in, the things that are hard to do night in and night out. We didnt want to do it tonight and it cost us." The game featured a matchup of former Indiana Hoosiers with Cody Zeller taking on Victor Oladipo. Zeller finished with 10 points on 5-of-7 shooting and six rebounds, while Oladipo had 10 points on 5-of-10 shooting with four rebounds. "Its always fun playing against Victor and we seem to bring out the best in each other," Zeller said. NOTES: The Bobcats signed small forward Chris Douglas-Roberts earlier in the day, but he did not play. The team released James Southerland to make room on the roster. ... Afflalo has scored in double digits 21 times this year. ... Henderson has scored in double digits in 13 straight games. ... Walker has started 170 straight games for the Bobcats, tied for the third-longest streak in franchise history. cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
