LONDON -- Novak Djokovic survived an early setback, and then made it look all too easy.The second-ranked Serb, who has a chance to reclaim the No. 1 ranking at the O2 Arena next weekend, rallied to beat Dominic Thiem 6-7 (10), 6-0, 6-2 Sunday in his opening match at the season-ending ATP finals.Djokovic won nine of 10 games to take control of the match after losing the first set in a tiebreaker. And even that was close.Yeah, a thrilling tiebreaker, Djokovic said. I had, I think, only one set point. He just played a good point. I was in the rally, but he just was going for his shots.Thiem had his first three set points at 6-3 in the tiebreaker, but he double-faulted twice and then put a backhand into the net to make it 6-6.Djokovic had a chance, too, leading 9-8. But he couldnt close it out with Thiem serving, eventually hitting a backhand long. The Austrian finally won it on his seventh set point with a forehand winner, prompting Djokovic to smack a ball into the crowd.After that, it was just about all Djokovic. The Serb reeled off six straight games to send it to a third set, and then broke Thiem twice more to close it out.Even though I lost the first set, I thought I didnt do too many things wrong, said Djokovic, who saved the only break point he faced. It was just the very high quality of his game that prevailed in the first set.In the following sets, it got to be too much for the Austrian, who was making his debut at the tournament for the top eight players in the world.I lost a little bit energy, not much, but just a little bit (after the first set), Thiem said. Of course, against a player like Novak, he immediately steps up. Thats how the second set went.Thiem said he had a chance to meet Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho after the match, and the pair chatted briefly. Thiem is a fan of English club Chelsea, a team Mourinho has coached in the past.In the late match, fourth-seeded Milos Raonic of Canada beat sixth-seeded Gael Monfils of France 6-3, 6-4.Monfils, who was playing at the ATP finals for the first time, hit a pair of tweeners in the match, but it was Raonic that got the breaks -- one in each half.Djokovic lost the No. 1 ranking to Andy Murray last week, but he can earn it right back in London. If either of the two wins the title next Sunday, that one will be assured of the top ranking -- as long as Djokovic wins another round-robin match on the way to the final.If Djokovic does reclaim the No. 1 ranking, he would finish the season at the top for the third season in a row and the fifth time in six years. Murray is trying to end up as the top man for the first time.With a victory on Sunday, Djokovic can also join Roger Federer as the only players to win the season-ending tournament six times. Federer is not playing in London, sitting out the rest of the season as he continues to recover from knee surgery.Djokovic has had his own injury problems this season, including pulling out of the China Open with an elbow injury in September. In Sundays match, he called for a trainer during the first changeover, but it was because he hurt his thumb on the court after reaching for an early shot.It was just a nasty cut that I had when I didnt manage to return the serve, the first serve, Djokovic said. Just kind of caught the surface, then I cut myself. It was bleeding. I just wanted to stop the bleeding. Nike Pegasus 33 Womens .

Nike Air Huarache NM Black . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web. LOS ANGELES -- The shorthanded Dodgers rotation will finally get a lift Sunday, when veteran right-hander Brandon McCarthy makes his 2016 debut against the Colorado Rockies, manager Dave Roberts said before Friday nights game. The news came on a day when the team placed outfielder Joc Pederson and three-time Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw?on the disabled list.McCarthy will be making his return from Tommy John surgery, after suffering a torn ulnar collateral ligament in April 2015. It was welcome news for a Dodgers club that has dealt with injuries to the starting staff for much of the season.We kind of sped it up a bit because of the circumstances, Roberts said of McCarthys return, but Brandons excited to get back, and we expect him to pitch well on Sunday.McCarthys scheduled return Sunday was somewhat surprising, given that his most recent start was a five-inning effort for Class-A Rancho Cucamonga on Monday.Roberts was initially asked for the latest on McCarthys rehab, and after explaining that he would start Sunday, Roberts was asked to clarify where.Here, Roberts said, smiling. Hes going to start for the L.A. Dodgers at Chavez Ravine. And hes a full go.McCarthys return comes amid a first half of the season in which the theme for the team has been pitchers being added to, rather than removed from, the injured list. In addition to McCarthy and Kershaw, Hyun-Jin Ryu, Brett Anderson?and Alex Wood currently sit on the DL.Kershaw, who has a mild disk herniation in his back, was feeling considerably better after undergoing an epidural, according to Roberts.I think that, you know, everyone uses that word depth as just a standard line, but it really has played out that way, Roberts said.dddddddddddd. Without it, I dont know where wed be. Guys have had to step up certainly. But weve really tapped into starting pitching depth. ... It is nice to get one of our guys coming back. Hopefully we get more of that.McCarthy, who signed a four-year, $48 million deal with the Dodgers in December 2014, was 3-0 with a 5.87 ERA in four starts last season before his injury. Roberts said that, while Kershaws injury might have slightly accelerated McCarthys return, the Dodgers are confident he can perform.For the Dodgers, who remain in contention at 45-37 despite the injuries, having any options at all probably feels like a luxury.I think with the circumstance with what happened to Kersh, we realized that we had some options, Roberts said. In talking to Brandon and figuring out where hes at ... things kind of fell in line with his start date. Were looking forward to Brandon being here. Hes the best option we have.Pederson injured his non-throwing shoulder in the Dodgers 6-5 victory Tuesday after crashing into the center-field wall while chasing down a drive off the bat of Brewers slugger Chris Carter. Pederson collapsed after making the catch and later?was escorted off the field.The Dodgers activated right-hander Bud Norris, acquired on Thursday in a five-player trade with the Atlanta Braves, to start in Kershaws place Friday. Norris got the win after pitching six shutout innings, allowing two hits and a walk and striking out eight in a 5-0 win over Colorado.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
