MELBOURNE, Australia - Eugenie Bouchard appreciates the creativity of her personal cheering section, a group of (mostly) male fans called the Genie Army.So much so, she notices when theyve added a new song to their repertoire.Clad in red-and-white T-shirts spelling G-E-N-I-E, the group serenades Bouchard during her matches at the Australian Open with pop songs theyve recast with references about her.Her personal favourite is a song based on the 1980s Buster Poindexter hit, Hot, Hot, Hot — the lyrics go, Genies hot, hot, hot — but she has also been impressed by a new song this year set to Ricky Martins Livin La Vida Loca.When I hear a new one, Im like, Oh, thats nice. Theyve been working hard. Good to see Im not the only one working hard, she said Sunday after her fourth-round win over Irina-Camelia Begu.Now she wants to know if they take requests.I really want them to start singing some Taylor Swift, she said. Ill be really motivated if they do that.By Justin Bergman -- http://twitter.com/justinb3rg___MULTILINGUAL MARIA: Behind a steely facade, Maria Sharapova sometimes scolds herself in different languages.Earlier in the tournament, No. 2-ranked Sharapova was complimented by an on-court interviewer for having a poker face while she plays.But on Sunday, the interviewer posed a follow-up question and asked Sharapova what goes through her mind when she plays a bad point.Its really bad, Sharapova said after winning her fourth-round match to set up a quarterfinal against No. 7 Eugenie Bouchard.I look really calm but inside Im like, What are you doing! Im yelling in a couple languages, she said with a laugh.Its not pretty. Maybe it looks calm on the outside but Im boiling (inside), she said.By Jocelyn Gecker -- http://twitter.com/jgecker___TENNIS FIRST: He hasnt quite matched Li Nas achievements yet, but for the Chinese men, its a start.Zhang Ze became the first man from mainland China to win a Grand Slam match on Sunday when he partnered with Taiwans Chang Kai-chen for a first-round mixed doubles victory at the Australian Open.I really wanted to get the win in singles, but mixed doubles also is good, said Zhang, who lost his first-round singles match to Australian veteran Lleyton Hewitt this week.Zhangs celebrity is already on the rise. He was met by an overflow crowd of Chinese journalists at his post-match news conference and received a round of applause.Does he think his match got as much attention back home as Lis historic win?Of course, he joked. Because Im famous.By Justin Bergman -- http://twitter.com/justinb3rg___Australian Open Scene follows tennis Grand Slam tournament in Melbourne as seen by journalists from The Associated Press. It is updated throughout the day. Jason Pierre-Paul Jersey . -- Nick Bjugstad snapped out of his scoring slump and spoiled Drew MacIntyres first NHL start. Robert Thomas Jersey . But when it was all over they had wasted another lead, seen another pitcher flame out on the mound and lost their fourth straight at home. http://www.giantsauthenticshop.com/Customized/. Acclaimed by world football leaders but held in contempt by many football fans. Blatter should arrive at the Itaquerao stadium in Sao Paulo to watch host Brazil play Croatia confident that this tournament -- his fifth as president -- wont be his last leading the worlds favourite sport. Andrew Adams Jersey . - Andrew McCutchen went 4 for 5 and finished a home run short of a cycle, and Jordy Mercer drove in a career-high four runs to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to an 8-2 rout of the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. Duke Ihenacho Jersey .ca. Mr. Fraser, It looks like Martin Brodeur is coming back to play for the Blues. I was wondering if you have any great stories or fond memories of your time on the ice with Brodeur - in the NHL, or maybe even the Olympics.CINCINNATI - When Andy Dalton is on the sideline Monday night, hell make sure to steal a few glances at the field to check out his counterpart.Who doesnt want to watch Peyton Manning do his thing in prime time?Yeah, growing up I was watching Peyton play, so its fun to be able to go up against these guys, Dalton said. You definitely want to watch what theyre doing, see how they play, because hes a guy that has been one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game.The quarterbacks will get a lot of the attention — Manning for his perfect career mark against Cincinnati, Dalton for his penchant to melt down in big games — when the Broncos play the Bengals on Monday night. But itll be the running backs who are on the spot in a game between teams trying to set themselves up for deep playoff runs.If the Broncos (11-3) and Bengals (9-4-1) get their way, itll be C.J. Anderson and Jeremy Hill getting most of the attention.Both teams have started putting more emphasis on the run as the playoffs approach. The Broncos have already won the AFC West and would clinch a first-round bye with a victory at Paul Brown Stadium. The Bengals would earn a fourth straight trip to the playoffs with a win.The formula to win a championship this time of the season is teams that can run the ball and play good defence, Broncos nose tackle Terrance Knighton said.Yeah, they all say that. In this case — for this game in particular — its pertinent.Manning is 8-0 against the Bengals, but hes not in the best of health. Manning played with the flu and strained his right thigh during a 22-10 win at San Diego last Sunday. He was limited in practice during the week.Well see how the rest of the week goes and when (Monday) comes around, well see how he feels, offensive co-ordinator Adam Gase said on Friday.So it would be beneficial to get another big game out of Anderson, who led all NFL players wiith 709 total yards in November and had back-to-back games rushing for 167 and 168 yards.dddddddddddd Hes in good shape heading into the Monday night game.Bodys feeling fine, Im great, Anderson said. Its that time of the year where teams want to run the ball and teams want to play defence and we can still throw the ball, which is great because we have No. 18 back there.Dalton is healthy, but the Bengals are looking to make him more of a role player in their third prime-time game of the season. Daltons worst moments have come in the playoffs (0-3) and prime time (2-6). The Bengals got blown out by New England and Cleveland in their two prime-time games this season.Hill leads all NFL rookies with 877 yards rushing. He ran for 148 yards during a 30-0 win at Cleveland last week, making him the first rookie since Tampa Bays Cadillac Williams in 2005 to have three games of rushing for more than 140 yards.The second-round pick from LSU likes to celebrate touchdowns distinctively. After a score in Cleveland on Sunday, he tried to jump into the Dawg Pound but got pushed away by two fans.I like to have a lot of intensity, man, Hill said. Its just bringing a lot of passion and intensity to the game and just running hard. Try to (energize) my teammates and get those guys going. I like to have fun out there, as well.The Bengals ran for a season-high 244 yards in Cleveland, an indication that their running game is finally rounding into form.Its been a long process, but I think were getting there, offensive co-ordinator Hue Jackson said. Do I think were there yet? No. You guys will know when were there because everybody will feel it and see it. I saw a glimpse of it a week ago and weve just got to keep at it.___AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Stapleton in Denver contributed to this report.___Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
