Paris, France - Eight-time champion Rafael Nadal, last years runner-up David Ferrer and British star Andy Murray were a trio of easy second-round winners Thursday at the French Open. Watch live coverage now on TSN and TSN GO. The world No. 1 superstar Nadal whipped young rising Austrian Dominic Thiem 6-2, 6-2, 6-3 on Court Chatrier. The 20-year-old Thiem is the youngest player in the mens top 100. "His ball is so high he was able to hit strong he has completely everything to become a champion," Nadal said of Thiem. "I think today I played a solid match, I knew that if I didnt I would be in trouble." Nadal improved to 61-1 lifetime at Roland Garros, where he beat Ferrer in last years all-Spanish final for a fourth straight title in the French capital. The 27-year-old Nadal is trying to become the first man in tennis history to win five straight French Open championships. Hes captured 44 clay-court titles, placing him second in the Open Era behind only Argentine great Guillermo Vilas (46). The reigning French and U.S. Open titlists third-round opponent will be Argentine Leonardo Mayer. Meanwhile, a fifth-seeded Ferrer won for the eighth time in nine matches at the French with a 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 spanking of Italian Simone Bolelli and the seventh-seeded reigning Wimbledon champion Murray blew past Aussie Marinko Matosevic 6-3, 6-1, 6-3. Ferrer improved to 13-0 all-time against qualifiers at Grand Slams and reached the third round at Roland Garros for the 10th straight year. Ferrers third-round opponent will be Italian Andreas Seppi. "I am ready for the next round and was very happy with my performance, especially with my consistency," Ferrer said. Twelfth-seeded French favorite Richard Gasquet moved on with a 7-6 (7-5), 6-4, 6-4 decision against Argentine Carlos Berlocq. No. 19 seed Kevin Anderson of South Africa advanced by beating French wild card Axel Michon 6-2, 6-3, 6-2, while 26th seed Feliciano Lopez of Spain lost 6-3, 7-6 (7-1), 6-3 to American fellow left-hander Donald Young, 28th-seeded German Philipp Kohlschreiber erased Uzbekistans Denis Istomin 6-3, 7-6 (7-5), 6-2, and a 32nd-seeded Seppi dismissed Argentine Juan Monaco 6-2, 6-4, 6-4. "I have actually never won a match outside of the U.S. on red clay," Young said. "So to win two here at the French Open, it means a lot." A rare all-American French Open matchup saw Jack Sock pounce all over two-time NCAA singles champion Steve Johnson, 7-5, 6-4, 6-2. Also on Day 5, the aforementioned Mayer doused Russian Teymuraz Gabashvili 6-2, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4; Spaniard Guillermo Garcia-Lopez topped Frenchman Adrian Mannarino 6-4, 6-3, 4-6, 6-0; Serb Dusan Lajovic drubbed Estonian Jurgen Zopp 6-2, 6-4, 6-4; and 6-foot-10 Croat Ivo Karlovic doused Austrian Andreas Haider-Maurer 7-5, 6-3, 6-4. Karlovic was a clay court runner-up in Germany last week. Vladimir Guerrero Angels Jersey .

In the end, the Ottawa Senators wingers injury became too much to bear. Ryans season came to an end March 27 as he underwent surgery for a sports hernia that had been bothering him since November. "For me, individually, I felt like being here, new team, new situation and we were up and down as a team and werent where we needed to be as a team (so) I wanted to play," Ryan said. "I wanted to compete with the guys." Ryan had the support of the organization and his teammates to keep playing. Trainers did their best to help Ryan deal with the daily pain, but things finally came to a head. Ryan had hoped to wait until the end of the season to undergo surgery, but a collision with the boards in Dallas on March 22 forced him to shut things down. "We hoped that the Olympic break would really calm it down and it was quite the opposite that happened," Ryan said. "I came back and it was beyond what we thought I could play through, but to me it meant more to play at that point. It was whatever it was going to take. "When I fell into the wall in Dallas that was kind of the end of it." Ryan finished the season with 23 goals and 48 points since being acquired from the Anaheim Ducks last July. Coming into training camp Ryan was eager to play a significant role with the Senators, and looking back the 27-year-old says hes not sure how to assess his first season in Ottawa. "I dont know if happy is the right word," Ryan said. "I think Im indifferent towards it right now. Even though Ive been doing absolutely nothing there hasnt been a whole lot of time to reflect on it. There were certainly games that Im going to remember and if we end up missing (the playoffs) by four, five, six points theres going to be games that a lot of us remember." As a whole Ryan said he cant help but feel a little frustrated by how the injury affected his performance. Ryan will be heading into the final year of his contract next season, and while he hasnt given much thought to his status he said he would be happy to stay in Ottawa. "I love it here, we (Ryan and fiancee Danielle Rhodes) love it here more importantly," said Ryan. "Its been a great change for us. When the time comes if thats the route (general manager Bryan Murray) wants to go to sit down and have conversations well certainly do that." Ryan went as far as saying that he could even see himself having a long future with Ottawa. Recovery from the surgery isnt expected to hamper Ryans off-season training. For now he is extremely limited, but will be able to start light training in tthe next couple of weeks and then should be fine to resume his regular training regimen over the summer.dddddddddddd While the rest of his teammates arent ready to call it a season just yet, the Senators slim hopes of making the playoffs suffered dramatically with Wednesdays 2-1 loss to the New York Islanders. With six games remaining the Senators are focused on finishing strong starting with Fridays game against the Montreal Canadiens. The last time the two teams met the Senators suffered a crushing overtime loss in was the first of what turned out to be a five-game losing streak, which many point to as the turning point of Ottawas season. "That was a tough game," said forward Clarke MacArthur. "We let that one get away. Thats just learning to play with confidence when you have the lead and knowing how to play when you have the lead." Games against Montreal are usually competitive, and on Friday the Senators will be looking for redemption. "You always want to play hard against them, theyre a competitive team," added MacArthur. "We wont have any trouble getting up for that one." As a group the Senators are at a loss to explain how things slipped away, but realize consistency was likely the biggest problem. "The potential that we have on our team and in our lineup is there," said defenceman Marc Methot. "We have the skill set we just couldnt seem to put it together and ultimately I think thats what killed us." Senators coach Paul MacLean said the team spent too much time in their own zone, allowed too many turnovers and took too many penalties The Senators are the second-most penalized team in the league with 404 infractions. The Flyers lead the league with 405. When asked how to change the mindset MacLean made it sound simple. "Practice is the first solution we have and the next solution I guess is different players." For now MacLean says hes focused on the next six games and says the team has to be ready for its next opponent and cant speculate on what changes might be made for next season. "We could say we can change everything, but the reality is you cant just blow everything up," said MacLean. "Weve done a lot of good work here in the last three years. It doesnt look like it right now, but weve had a lot of growth in a lot of our players and we need to recognize that." Notes: D Erik Karlsson was given a maintenance day Thursday. C Jason Spezza did not skate and will be a game day decision Friday. D Jared Cowen and LW Colin Greening are both expected to miss Friday and Saturdays game. G Craig Anderson will get the start against Montreal. ' ' '
