DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Torontos Daniel Nestor and Serbian partner Nenad Zimonjic lost in the doubles final at the Dubai Championships tennis event Saturday. Vlade Divac Kings Jersey . Nestor and Zimonjic, the tournaments top seeds, lost 6-4, 6-3 to Rohan Bopanna of India and Pakistans Asiam-Ul-Haq Qureshi. Nestor and Zimonjic beat Bopanna and Ul-Haq Qureshi in the doubles final of a tournament in Sydney last month. But they were outplayed this time by Bopanna and Ul-Haq Qureshi, who needed 68 minutes to secure the win. "They were better, we probably didnt get enough first serves in," said Nestor. "When we both had chances to play they put more pressure on us. "We just didnt play well all around." Nestor, 41, was playing in his third ATP final in five weeks, winning in Brisbane and Sydney while also earning the Australian Open mixed title with Kristina Mladenovic of France. Nestor won the Dubai title in 2002 with Mark Knowles of the Bahamas but was unable to repeat the feat 12 years later. He and Zimonjic saved three set points in the final game of the 35-minute first set. But they were finally caught by a shovelled winner down the line which ended a fierce volley duel at the net between all of the four players. Bopanna and Ul-Haq Qureshi took control of the second set with a break of Zimonjic for a 3-1 lead en route to the victory. "Weve won some matches this week so thats a good thing," said Nestor. "Doubles seems to turn on just a few points, who knows anything can happen. "We can beat anyone or lose to anyone at any time." Nestor still needs a win to move into third all-time in the post-1968 Open. He currently has 83 career wins, tied with Australian Todd Woodbridge and behind Mike Bryan (96) and Bob Bryan (94). Nestor and Zimonjic have won 25 titles together with Nestor having played in 137 doubles finals. Skal Labissiere Jersey . Unlike last year when nobody got in, there have been estimates of as many as five getting voted in this time around and as few as one, Greg Maddux. Marvin Bagley Jersey . - The Detroit Lions have 13 takeaways this season — three less than all of last season — and the defence isnt the only unit pleased with the performance. https://www.kingslockerroom.com/Richaun-Holmes-City-Edition-Jersey/ . Niese pitched seven steady innings on a rainy Tuesday night and Daniel Murphy had three hits to lead New York to a 6-1 victory over the Phillies.MINNEAPOLIS - For the last three years, Jay Gruden and Mike Zimmer had an office across the hall from each other at Cincinnati Bengals headquarters.This week, theyll set up shop on opposite sidelines in Minnesota.I honestly dont like going against my friends, just because at the end of the day one of us is going to be upset, said Zimmer, who was hired by the Vikings this season, a week after Washington picked Gruden to take over the Redskins. It is what it is, and so Im sure hell have his team ready to play, and hopefully Ill have mine ready to play.Zimmer spent the last six years as defensive co-ordinator for the Bengals, and Gruden was the offensive co-ordinator for the last three.We competed every day in practice. It was not friendly, usually. Both of us are pretty good competitors and we all wanted to win the drill, definitely, in Cincinnati so we had our share of arguments and tension, but ultimately I have a ton of respect for him, Gruden said.Particularly for his ability to scheme.Ive seen some of the best quarterbacks come in there and walk out of there scratching their head, Gruden said.Of course, Gruden has been planning for a defence he has seen often. Gruden, like his fellow first-time head coach, has been busy trying to put his stamp on a team in need of some repair.Its been a pretty smooth transition, outside linebacker Ryan Kerrigan said. Hes been a great coach to play for. Hes the type of guy you want to win for because hes competitive and a very tough-minded coach.Here are some key nuggets to know about the game between the Redskins (3-5) and Vikings (3-5):RG3 RETURNS: Robert Griffin III is expected to return at quarterback for the Redskins, whove turned to Kirk Cousins and Colt McCoy since Griffin dislocated his left ankle in the second game of the season. McCoy completed 36 of 42 passes and led the overtime victory at Dallas on Monday night, but this is Griffins job.In two prior games against the Vikings, hes thrown for four touchdowns and rushed for two while turning the ball over once.BLITZING BRIDGEWATER: Redskins defensive co-ordinator Jim Haslett has used a variety of blitzes out of his 3-4 scheme, and the rush has been largely effective. They had five sacks against the Cowboys, and with a rookie quarterback in Teeddy Bridgewater the opponent this week, the Redskins are again likely to bring the heat. Mitch Richmond Kings Jersey. Its very exotic. You never know what youre going to get, said Bridgewater, who will make his fifth career start.Kerrigan credited new linebackers coach Brian Baker, who was a Vikings assistant from 2001-05, with refining his technique. Hes fourth in the NFL with 7 1-2 sacks.At times I would rush too wide and wouldnt take the most direct route to the quarterback, and when youre doing that youre taking more time, and by that time the balls gone, Kerrigan said.TWO-MINUTE TEDDY: Bridgewater guided a nine-play, 61-yard drive over the final 1:57 of regulation last week to get the Vikings in position for the tying field goal. Though hes been up and down since taking over the job, he has shown a knack for handling those hurry-up situations.Our coaches are calling great plays, allowing me to think less, but still me being a young guy and trying to be perfect, I find myself thinking too much, Bridgewater said. I have to continue to trust my teammates, trust everything that Im being taught and allow those guys to make plays.TEMPERED ENTHUSIASM: The Redskins, who have already matched their victory total from last season, have won their last two games. With Minnesota, a bye week and a home game against Tampa Bay (1-6), an ascent into the NFC East race is possible. But left tackle Trent Williams tried to offer some caution.Weve only won three out of eight games. Youre not going to see anybody around here beating their chests, he said.PROTEST PLANNED: Nationwide pressure on the Redskins to drop their nickname has been ratcheting up, with critics decrying it as racist and owner Dan Snyder and defenders claiming its a tribute to Native Americans. Minnesota has been a ground zero of sorts for the movement, and theres a protest planned by several groups prior to the game. Radio ads have been running this week to elicit support for the rally, which will include a march through the University of Minnesota campus to the stadium.Former Vikings strong safety Joey Browner, a six-time Pro Bowl pick, is scheduled to be one of the speakers against the nickname at the event.___AP NFL websites: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
