  Novak Djokovic is ready to move on from the first significant dent in his 2016 dominance as he makes his return to the hard courts at the Rogers Cup in Toronto.I just try to get myself ready for performing as best as I can, Djokovic said at his pre-tournament news conference Sunday. I had a little bit more time because of the defeat at Wimbledon to spend quality time with family, regroup a little bit and start training on hard courts that I obviously enjoy playing the most. So I look forward to it.In early July, the world No. 1 fell to Sam Querrey in the third round of Wimbledon, a loss that stopped a stretch of four straight Grand Slam titles for Djokovic.Djokovic is a three-time champion in Canada and holds the record for most Masters Series wins all time with 29.If the draw holds form, Djokovic would play?Stan Wawrinka?in Sundays final. The route to the championship match became far more seamless for both last week when Andy Murray, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal all withdrew from Toronto.Barring another letdown, Djokovic should get in much-needed reps -- especially with the Rio Olympics and US Open looming.Thats the kind of my thinking right now -- just enjoy, play well, play singles and doubles, get as many hours on the court as possible, Djokovic said.Djokovic said he didnt get to dwell much on his Wimbledon loss, the first time he has not reached the second week of a Grand Slam since becoming No. 1 in July 2014.Obviously, I didnt enjoy losing in the first week of a Grand Slam, but on the other hand, next day it was already behind me, Djokovic said. I had so much things to do in my private life, off the tennis [court], that I was very much engaged in the other activities. First of all with being a father and a husband, and everything else aside [from] that, so I didnt really think too much about it.Djokovic has put the setback in perspective, understanding that with six titles this season, including his first at Roland Garros, he has been utterly dominant in 2016.Winning the French Open was very special, very emotional, Djokovic said. Im just glad I was able to go through that part of the season in that way and experience the up and downs, and now its a new beginning. Discount Basketball Shoes .

The Aggies, who tied the school SEC record with 32 block assists, also set a team SEC season record as they finished the conference season averaging 3.0 blocks per set.The Aggies got off to a sluggish start and were outhit .216 to .207 in the opening set. The score was knotted at 12-12 before the Tigers got a kill courtesy of an A&M overpass and then served back-to-back aces to take a lead they would not lose. Auburn later used a 3-0 run to go up 21-16 before a kill and a block by Kaitlyn Blake put A&M within 21-18. The Tigers then went on another 3-0 spurt, including a fifth ace that put Auburn serving for the set, 24-18. McGee put down her fifth kill before Auburn closed out the set with a kill.The second set was tied at 3-3 when A&M caught fire, scoring seven unanswered points to take a 10-3 lead. The Tigers cut the deficit to 14-11 before a kill by McGee and a record-setting block by Babers and setter Stephanie Aiple began a 5-0 surge by the Aggies. A service error ended the run but McGee immediately put down her fifth kill in five attempts in the set to ignite a set-ending 6-0 run. Babers and Emily Hardesty teamed for a block to cap the win and even the match at a set apiece. It marked the sixth block of the set for A&M, which hit .500 while holding the Tigers to a -.097 hitting efficiency.Auburn held a 10-9 advantage in the third set when A&M went on a 4-0 run to take the lead.

The Tigers countered, getting a solo block and two kills during a 4-0 run that put Auburn on top, 22-21, giving the Tigers their first lead since 5-4. Hardesty tied the score with her team-leading fourth kill of the set, and Blake and McGee tallieed A&Ms seventh block of the frame to return the lead to A&M, 23-22.dddddddddddd Auburns Brenna McIlroy answered with her sixth kill of the set, but the Tigers served long to put A&M at match point. Auburn seemed to fight off match point as McIlroy appeared to have gotten a kill as the ball landed inside the A&M baseline, but A&M coach Laurie Corbelli challenged that the ball had sailed outside the antenna. Upon further review, the Aggies won the challenge to end the match.McGee led all players with 16 kills while hitting .313. Reasor finished with eight kills while hitting .467. Blake pitched in eight blocks in the Aggies record-setting block performance, and Hardesty came off the bench to add a career-high six blocks. Victoria Arenas led the Aggies in digs with 13.Auburn, which had four players in double-figure kills, including a team-high 15 by McIlroy, led A&M in kills (54-50), attacks (150-119), aces (7-3) and digs (53-50). The Tigers, however, finished with 33 attack errors, the most by an A&M opponent this season, as A&M outhit Auburn, .311 to .140, and held the Tigers to five team blocks.The Aggies, who ended the regular season having won 15 of their last 17 matches, are expecting to receive a sixth consecutive and 24th overall berth into the NCAA Championship. The 64-team field will be announced Sunday, Nov. 27, at 8 p.m. on ESPNU.Texas A&M postmatch quotes:TEXAS A&M HEAD COACH LAURIE CORBELLI:On overcoming the slow start to get the victory... I am really relieved that this match is over. It was really a struggle most of the way through. I thought we started really flat. Emotionally it seemed really hard to get really excited and super high for this one, for whatever reason. I was really proud of our attackers. I thought Kiara McGee came ready to play in a really strong fashion. [Ashlie] Reasor did some awesome things, and she just needed a match like this to get her confidence up and let her see herself as the great player she is. As always, I think Steph Aiple directed the offense beautifully, and Jazz Babers with no errors, and with all the blocks that we had. Our blocking is only getting better and better, and that is really a highlight for me. At the end of the season thats what we really like to have happening.On Babers setting another blocking record... She is definitely going to be hard to match in terms of blocking with any future players because of how instinctive she is with her blocking. She is a very smart blocker. We will really miss that next season. She is much deserving of that career record.On thoughts finishing the regular season and awaiting the NCAA announcement... I feel a sense of relief that we have made it through the SEC grind, and we have a day off to rest and rejuvenate and get a new start on somewhat of a new season with the NCAA tournament. I have no clue what the NCAA Selection Committee is going to do. We always have our feelings about it, but I just prefer and wait and not even think about it until we see it. ' ' '
