TORONTO -- Milos Raonic easily advanced to the Rogers Cup quarterfinals in front of his home fans, routing American qualifier Jared Donaldson 6-2, 6-3 on Thursday night.The fourth-seeded Raonic, the Montenegro-born player who moved to the Toronto area when he was 3, set up a match Friday against 10th-seeded Gael Monfils of France.Im taking care of my own things, creating some opportunities. And, you know, Im going for the shots, Raonic said. Im taking time away from the other guy, making the guy, from what I can tell, the other side of the net, uncomfortable, not giving him too much rhythm.Raonic had 15 aces to Donaldsons three.Its that way always, Raonic said about his serve. And just because I saw that he was going to return from close, I went a little bit harder into the body just to try to make him think about it, hopefully make him step back to open up the angles for myself more.Top-seeded Novak Djokovic of Serbia also advanced, beating Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic 6-2, 6-4 in the late match. Djokovic, the tournament winner in 2007, 2011 and 2012, will face fifth-seeded Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic, a 6-4, 6-7 (2), 6-4 winner over American Ryan Harrison.We played so many times. Hes one of the few players Ive played at least 30 times, Djokovic said about Berdych. Its not a first. Obviously, I need to review some past matches.Monfils outlasted Belgiums David Goffin 7-6 (5), 2-6, 6-4, winning when Goffin put a backhand into the net at York Universitys Aviva Centre. The Frenchman won the Citi Open on Sunday in Washington.I love to play when its crowded, and if the crowd is for the other one, its fine, Monfils said about facing Raonic in Canada. I expect a very good match.Also, second-seeded Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland beat 16th-seeded Jack Sock of the United States 7-6 (3), 6-2; third-seeded Kei Nishikori of Japan topped Rajeev Ram of the United States, 6-3, 6-4; South Africas Kevin Anderson edged 12th-seeded Bernard Tomic of Australia 4-6, 6-3, 6-4; and Bulgarias Grigor Dimitrov beat Croatias Ivo Karlovic 6-3, 7-5.Wawrinka will face the 6-foot-6 Anderson.Im playing against Anderson, who I lost many times against him, Wawrinka said. I lost two years ago when I played him here. Its going to be interesting match to play again against him. Its always been difficult to beat him, but hopefully I can do that tomorrow.Nishikori will play Dimitrov. Jordan 12 Low Cheap .

STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- Six years ago, almost to the day, the tiny village of Russnas (population 90) in Sweden was bustling. Right at the intersection off the main road that leads to the big road that takes you to the highway, under the sign that welcomes visitors to the village, there was a big photo of Niklas Hjalmarsson in his Chicago Blackhawks jersey, with a message to the young man.Congratulations, Stanley Cup champion it said in Swedish. Next to it, there was a tin-foil replica of the Cup.The then-23-year-old defenseman had spent most of his two previous seasons in the AHL but had taken a permanent spot in the Blackhawks lineup that season. He addressed the villagers (and thousands of other fans) next to the playground where he had played as a kid, standing next to bales of hay and the Stanley Cup, his voice hoarse from a fun night with his family and friends.Six years doesnt sound like much time, but for the Hjalmarsson who met with the media at Team Swedens pre-World Cup of Hockey event here recently, the six years has been life-altering.Time flies. Ive got married, Ive become a father, bought a house, Hjalmarsson, now 29, tells ESPN.com. And then he added, after a pause, And have won two more Cups.Its been six awesome years, and I hope the next six will be as good. By then Ill be 35, and I hope to be able to play that long. After that, the body starts to feel a little old. Playing [in the NHL] until 35 is something of a goal of mine.Over the last six seasons, the defenseman has become a mainstay in the Blackhawks defense, one of the players in the teams core group GM Stan Bowman has built the championship teams around. Only seven players in Blackhawks history have won three Stanley Cups -- Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Duncan Keith, Patrick Sharp, Marian Hossa, Brent Seabrook and Hjalmarsson -- and Sharp is no longer with the team.Naturally, theres a special bond between us, Hjalmarsson said. In the beginning, none of us had kids, some of us were single, and now we all have wives and kids. Weve grown up together, and it almost feels that were brothers after all that weve gone through together on the ice -- and off it.Nothing brings teammates together like winning. Maybe its because only they know all the work and effort theyve put into it, and the struggles theyve gone through to make it happen.Hjalmarsson isnt one to reflect on his Stanley Cup wins too much, at least not before he turns 35, and communiccating what it takes to go all the way in the Stanley Cup playoffs isnt easy.dddddddddddd For anyone.I think [of all the non-players], my parents understand it best because theyve seen all the hard work Ive had to put in, he said. The toughest part of winning is the mental side of it, grinding through a long regular season and ... then 20-plus-game postseason on top of it, through injuries and everything.The will to win is always there; you want to win at any price. Im so grateful that Ive had the opportunity to play in three finals, and that weve won all three. Nothing beats the feeling of standing there as a winner. Its hard to explain, but when I see other athletes get emotional after their victories, like [Swedish swimmer] Sarah Sjostrom at the Olympics, it moves something in me. Its easy for me to relate to that feeling, and I get emotional myself.All 23 players on Team Swedens World Cup roster are NHL players, accustomed to the North American style of hockey and everything that comes with it. But coach Rikard Gronborg, 48, is a federation veteran, having started as a scout with the World Junior team in 2006, and then worked as assistant and head coach with the under-18, under-20 and mens national teams.However, he did spend more than 10 years in U.S. colleges as a player and coach in the 1990s and is considered well-versed in North American hockey.He seems to have the right mindset, which makes it easier for us [players] to adapt, said Hjalmarsson, who was on the 2014 Olympic team that lost in the gold-medal final to Canada.In the upcoming World Cup, Team Sweden hopes Hjalmarsson -- who is one of the core players in an impressive defense corps -- can bring some of that Blackhawks leadership and winning attitude with him. Sweden has never won the World Cup of Hockey, including its Canada Cup roots.Thats a great motivator. Its wonderful to play for my country and to get to know the guys on this team a little better. They seem to be pretty great guys outside the rink, Hjalmarsson said with a laugh.Back in 2010, when Hjalmarsson brought the Stanley Cup to his village for the first time, he ended the celebration in the neighboring town by singing John Denvers Take Me Home, Country Roads.Thats one of the things Hjalmarsson definitely hasnt done since.But winning? That never gets old. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
