Wellington have bolstered their defensive stocks for the upcoming A-League season, signing 22-year-old Ryan Lowry.Lowry, the brother of Perth Glory star Shane, has signed a one-year contract and will join the Phoenix after departing Western Australian side ECU Joondalup SC.At my age I might not get another chance like this and I am determined to make the most of it, Lowry said.Lowry has recently trained with the New Zealand based club, and while he specialises at centreback, he also plays as a fullback.He was recommended to the club by goalkeeper Lewis Italiano, who played for Joondalup during the A-League off-season. http://www.officialraidersgear.com/Raiders-Jim-Plunkett-Draft-Jersey/ . LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string. http://www.officialraidersgear.com/Raiders-John-Matuszak-Draft-Jersey/ . Traditional contenders Brazil, Greece and Turkey drew the other three spots to complete the 24-team field for this summers tournament in Spain, basketball governing body FIBA announced Saturday at its meeting in Barcelona. http://www.officialraidersgear.com/Raiders-Johnny-Townsend-Draft-Jersey/ . With Parker having a quiet game for once, Nicolas Batum and Boris Diaw provided the scoring as France won its first major basketball title by beating Lithuania 80-66 on Sunday. It was a victory that ended a decade of frustration for Parker and a talented French generation, which lost the final against Spain two years ago and took bronze in 2005. http://www.officialraidersgear.com/Raiders-Marcus-Allen-Draft-Jersey/ . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. http://www.officialraidersgear.com/Raiders-Lyle-Alzado-Draft-Jersey/ . Brandon Morrow allowed five runs on six hits over three innings. He struck out two, walked one and hit a batter. Edwin Encarnacion had a two-out, bases loaded two-RBI double in the third inning. The bald, worn patches on the courts of the All England Club are healing. This means its time to move on to the next part of the tennis season.Make no mistake: The summer swing is brutal -- and hot. This year, it will be complicated by the addition of the Rio Games, which has created scheduling abnormalities and withdrawals from some of the top players in some of the top events.So what should we expect from this selection of stars as the hard-court season begins in earnest? Our writers weigh in:How will Novak Djokovics early loss at Wimbledon affect his summer swing?Nic Atkin: He looked distracted at Wimbledon, but dont be fooled: Djokovic will come back strong, and he will be ready to dominate again. A motivated Djokovic is a scary thought, given what he has already accomplished while beating all comers, and he will also have benefited from skipping Serbias Davis Cup defeat to Great Britain.Jim Caple: Depending on whether he will be fully healthy, I think it will slightly affect his summer swing -- in that it will fire him up to play even better. He is the easily the best player in the world. Look for him to win another Slam at the US Open.Greg Garber: Not at all. Wimbledon was the French Open hangover -- that delivered him to his summer vacation a week early.Melissa Isaacson: Djokovic said after the loss to Sam Querrey that he was not really 100 percent, but wouldnt elaborate, though he did say he wanted to get away from tennis and pay more attention to his family. Understandable, and it might be just what he needed to break up the long grind and recharge from the recent disappointment.What would mean more to Serena Williams at this point in her career? Olympic gold or the US Open title?Atkin: Youve got to think Serenas focus will be leaning toward the US Open. Not only can she overtake Steffi Grafs major title haul, but Serena will also be sure to equal the Germans record reign of 186 consecutive weeks at No. 1 if she goes deep at Flushing Meadows.Caple: She has already won four Olympic gold medals. She will definitely want another, but winning her 23rd Grand Slam and passing Graf will mean more, especially since Serena will turn 35 at the end of September.Garber: Some non-Americans point to the significance of the Olympics over the Slams, but I think Serena would take a US Open title in a heartbeat. That would be a record-breaking 23rd major, after all.Isaacson: Serena has never maade any secret about the value with which she puts into the Olympics and her four gold medals.dddddddddddd But a US Open title will forever distance her from the best in modern-day tennis and settle any lingering debate as to whether she is the greatest of all time.Should we expect any kind of post-Wimbledon hangover from Andy Murray?Atkin: Murray admitted to having a brutal hangover after enjoying a well-earned trip to a London nightclub following his Wimbledon win. But he wisely opted to skip Britains Davis Cup tie against Serbia and will not be at the Rogers Cup. It appears he is well-aware he needs to keep himself fresh if he wants to make it back-to-back majors.Caple: No. It should only make him feel better. Now, whether that will help him win gold in Rio or add a Slam at the US Open is up for debate. My bet would be he wont, but not because of any hangover, but because Djokovic should be back in top form.Garber: I dont think so. The last time Murray and Lendl teamed up they won a major (the 2012 US Open) and an Olympic gold in the same summer.Isaacson: Murray made a point of saying that after winning his second Wimbledon title, he wants to focus on consistent performances all year and, specifically, the No. 1 ranking. That motivation should be a quick antidote for any potential hangover.Who will have a better summer? Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal?Nic Atkin: Both men are out of the Rogers Cup with injuries -- but Nadals wrist issue must be more of a concern. As Federer showed at Wimbledon, he has been able to put his 2016 niggles behind him and should be good for another run to the last eight at the US Open at least. Historically, Nadal has taken longer to rehab.Caple: How about neither? Fed is 34, hasnt made it to a final this year and has missed multiple tournaments with injuries. Nadal is younger (30) and has won two tournaments in 2016, but he isnt at his peak anymore, either. Its time to look more to the next generation.Garber: Federer. After missing the French Open, he seems good to go. Rafa has the longer road back.Isaacson: Hmmm. Both have withdrawn from the Toronto Masters. Fed said he wants to rest, and Nadal conceded hes still not fully recovered from his wrist injury. No reason to think Fed wont bounce back stronger after a little breather.
