Dominic Thiem posted the following message on Facebook early in the morning of Nov. 3, following the second-round upset inflicted on him at the Paris Masters 1000 by Jack Sock:There is not much to say about that result, its just really bitter, he wrote. I am trying to find my old strength, I hope to find it in the off-season ... the season is pretty sure over for me, if I am going to London is not up to me anymore, I can only hope for the best.Before Thiem, an Austrian, even had a chance to unpack and plop down on the sofa to cue up his favorite ski-jumping videos on YouTube, the two men who could still qualify for the final berth in Londons ATP World Tour Finals went down in flames in Paris.Tomas Berdych needed to reach the semifinals, but Andy Murray stopped him one match short. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga had his fate in his own hands. If he won Paris (as he had once before), he was in. But Tsonga was bombarded off the court by Milos Raonic.On Nov. 4, Thiem was back on Facebook with an entirely different message: Thanks Andy! Thanks Milos! London is calling!And although hell be making the somewhat unexpected voyage to the final ATP event of the season, the question with Thiem is his fitness. His rap is that he plays too much and becomes increasingly vulnerable to fatigue and injury as the year goes on. Thiem retired hurt from two matches during the late summer, including a set and change into his fourth-round clash with Juan Martin del Potro at the US Open. That was a costly pullout.But Thiem is a strapping 23-year-old, and not long thereafter, he made it to the final of Metz before slumping to a 2-4 record the rest of the way this fall.Still, Thiem strung together an auspicious season for much of 2016. Its nothing to dismiss with an eye-roll, either. Hes already bagged seven ATP Tour titles in 10 final-round appearances. Hes won titles on clay, grass and hard courts, although the achievement is a little deceptive. Thiem has never beaten a top-10 player on a hard court. Next week, hell be competing with seven who are in that elite category.The one thing Thiem wont lack in London is match seasoning. He has played 27 tournaments this year, six more than anyone else in the top 10, and 11 more than either top-ranked Murray or No. 2 Novak Djokovic. The Austrian iron boys intent from the get-go has been to throw himself into the tour with the same abandon and ferocity that he pours into those roundhouse, atomic backhands. The attitude has roots in the sensibility of his coach, Gunter Bresnik.Bresnik, who also developed the game of Boris Becker, is so old school that he doesnt even have a Facebook page. Bresnik likes his players to work long and hard. He taught Thiem to swing for the fences, and if he missed to swing harder. He also counseled Thiem to keep the one-handed backhand, reasoning that at 6-foot-1, Thiem was tall and muscular enough to handle the high balls that were a challenge to other one-handers.Its unclear at this point how fast the court in Londons 02 Arena will be, and that might have a big bearing on Thiems prospects. One reason his game is most successful on clay is because he has a very long take-back on both wings. It allows him to generate teeth-rattling raw power, but those elaborate backswings also take longer. As a result, Thiem may find himself backing off the baseline to buy time, which will leave him vulnerable to ... you get the rest.Speculation about such tactical things are best left for the days ahead. Thiem probably isnt focusing on them just yet, either. Right now, hes probably just overwhelmed by his sense of good fortune. He also issued a statement when informed of his good fortune, declaring: Im so happy to have made it. In the past two years [the Finals] became a goal and to achieve it at such a young age is amazing.Eventually, nobody is going to remember or care how Thiem got into London. The only important thing will be what he did once he was there. Patrick Patterson Jersey . Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. JJ Redick Jersey .4 million title. Ryan Riess emerged with the title after a session in which he started behind, but used expert skill to gather the chips to his side amid the unpredictability of no-limit Texas Hold em. Riess put his final opponent Jay Farber all-in with an Ace-King. https://www.cheapclippersonline.com/1220h-jamychal-green-jersey-2-clippers.html . That left plenty of energy for pitching books and swatting away free agency questions. Anthony had 24 points and nine rebounds, and the Knicks avenged an embarrassing home loss with a rout of their own, beating the Boston Celtics 114-88 on Wednesday night for their third straight victory. Derrick Walton Jersey . Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes. Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Golden State, which rebounded from a loss a night earlier in Oklahoma City and snapped a two-game skid. Brent Barry Jersey . The 15th-ranked Canadian men lost the opening two games of their European tour: 19-15 to No. 17 Georgia and 21-20 to No. AUSTIN, Texas -- True freshman quarterback Shane Buechele won the Texas Longhorns quarterback battle, and he will make his first start Sunday night against No. 10 Notre Dame.Buechele?threw a touchdown pass on Texas first drive of the game.The ESPN 300 recruit from Arlington, Texas, competed with senior QB Tyrone Swoopes throughout the offseason. Coach Charlie?Strong has said that both Buechele and Swoopes will play against the Fighting Irish.Buechele enrolled early at Texas, in January, and was impressive from the start, throwing for 299 yards and two touchdowns in one half in the teams spring game in April. He and Swoopes split reps in practice throughout preseason camp.Strong did not name his starting quarterback during the week and waited until kickoff in the hopes of gaining a strategic advantage over Notree Dame, which defeated Texas 38-3 in South Bend last year.ddddddddddddTexas had a three-man battle in the spring between Buechele, Swoopes and Jerrod Heard, but Heard -- the 10-game starter in 2015 -- decided to move to wide receiver during fall camp. He was listed as a No. 2 inside receiver on the teams pregame depth chart.How will Buechele and Swoopes share the snaps? Strong said Monday that whoever starts will get most of the work, and first-year offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert has said this will not be a two-quarterback system.When we name the quarterback, he is our starter and he will be the starter, Strong said Monday, unless he gets beat out or something happens to him.
