On Saturday, Delbonis plays a second-round match against Grigor Dimitrov.Elsewhere, sixth seed Kei Nishikori plays qualifier Pierre-Hugues Herbert and fourth seed Stan Wawrinka meets Andrey Kuznetsov.One to watchIts worth keeping an eye on Rafael Nadal who seems to be slowly approaching the great form that won him 14 Grand Slams. After an impressive Indian Wells campaign was ended by Novak Djokovic in the semi-final, Nadal continues his upward curve against Damir Dzumhur of Bosnia on Saturday. Nadal earned a big win over Nishikori last week Potential upsetNick Kyrgios, the 24th seed, is pitted in a fascinating contest against Marcos Baghdatis. The maverick Australian should have all the tools to squeeze past Baghdatis, but if anyone knows how to throw a vulnerable youngster off his game, it is the veteran from Cyprus.

The designation was released Monday after the deadline passed for NFL teams to use franchise or transition tags on players becoming free agents. Whitey Herzog Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. http://www.authenticcardinalspro.com/customized/ . In taking its goal tally to 99 in all competitions already this season, City delivered another demonstration of its lethal firepower at Etihad Stadium to set up a fourth-round match at home to another second-tier team -- Watford.

Ken Boyer Jersey . Aduriz headed home Markel Susaetas cross in the sixth minute to open the scoring at San Mames Stadium. He bettered that with a long-range blast that went in off the goal frame in the 18th, and converted a penalty in the 72nd after Diego Mainz was sent off for fouling Aduriz with only the goalkeeper to beat. Eric Staal settled with a new team that satisfied his postseason aspirations. The Minnesota Wild found the top-six forward they were seeking.Staal and the Wild agreed to terms Friday on a three-year, $10.5 million contract soon after NHL free agency began. After totaling 13 goals between the Carolina Hurricanes and New York Rangers last season, the lowest number since he was a rookie, the 31-year-old center will take a prove-his-worth mentality into next season.I feel like Ive got a lot of hockey left, Staal said.The 45 goals and 55 assists that Stall got in 2005-06 while leading the Hurricanes to the Stanley Cup championship are an improbability at this point. But a potential line with Zach Parise and Charlie Coyle ought to at least put him in position to be a productive offensive player.He wanted the opportunity to be the Eric Staal that he was in the past, said Wild coach Bruce Boudreau, whose Washington teams faced Staal often with Carolina as division rivals. I told him he would definitely get that chance here.Staal spent 12 seasons with the Hurricanes until he was traded to the New York Rangers the day before the deadline. The second overall pick in the 2003 draft has 325 goals and 456 assists in 929 career games. Since Staal entered the league, Jarome Iginla, Patrick Marleau and Daniel Sedin are the only others whove played in 900-plus games and totaled at least 300 goals and 400 assists.As Staal did when Parise was on the market four years ago, ultimately picking Minnesota on a 13-year, $98 million contract, Parise reached out to Staal earlier this week with a pitch for the Wild.Im super excited. They were a team that I kind of had on my radar for a little while now, and knowing I was going to be in this position, I was kind of scouring over team rosters and looking for spots where I could be put in position to play my best hockey, Staal said. Minnesota was right up there.The Wild have qualified for the playoffs four straight times, but theyve won only two series. Still, thats a lot more action than Carolina has seen.After leading the NHL playoffs with 28 points in 25 games for the 2006 champions, Staal and the Hurricanes tasted the postseason only once more. He also had a five-game stint in the playoffs with the Rangers after the trade.So as his seven-year, $55.75 million contract expired, Staal was eager to join a winner. He cited player cost-cutting around him in CCarolina as a reason for his waning goals and assists totals.ddddddddddddn the cap world and the way the game is now, you need more. You need extra help, and sometimes it felt like they werent able to do some of those things, Staal said on a conference call with Minnesota reporters. It made it difficult. It started to wear.Staal has three younger brothers who have played in the NHL: Marc, Jordan and Jared. Hes had the chance to play with all of them, with the Hurricanes and then the Rangers. With 2,237 career regular-season games between the quartet, none of them has played for a Western Conference team until now.Minnesota is the closest NHL market and major city to their hometown of Thunder Bay, Ontario, about a six-hour drive across the border.Im sure Im going to have a lot more weekend visitors than I had in the past, Staal said.The Wild also agreed to deals to bring back left wing Chris Stewart (two years, $2.3 million), and add goalie Alex Stalock, a Minnesota native; defenseman Victor Bartley, formerly of Montreal and Nashville; and forward Pat Cannone, an AHL veteran. They provide depth on two-way contracts.Stewart had eight goals and 12 assists in 56 games for Anaheim with Boudreau last season, missing 19 games because of a broken jaw. He was a March 2, 2015, trade-deadline acquisition by the Wild and played in 20 games plus eight contests in the playoffs.Stalock went 24-19-7 with a 2.37 goals against average and a .911 save percentage over parts of five seasons with San Jose. The 28-year-old product of South St. Paul High School and Minnesota Duluth will be behind Devan Dubnyk and Darcy Kuemper to start, but general manager Chuck Fletcher has acknowledged that Kuemper is under trade consideration.The fact that we didnt have to sacrifice any of our young defensemen to fill these holes is important, Fletcher said.With Staal, Mikko Koivu and Erik Haula, the Wild are confident in their depth at center. Staals arrival means Coyle and Mikael Granlund can stay on the wing, too.We have some quality players he can play with, Fletcher said. We certainly have an important role he can fill, and the most important thing about the deal is he was able to give us a cap number that works for us and will allow us to fill in some players around him as well.
