He won five games and jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the final set, only to have Kamke fight back. Kamke won four of the next five games to pull even at 5-5. He then won the final five points of the tiebreaker to hand the 32-year-old Blake his eighth loss in nine matches this year. "I felt great the last two days of practice and I really dont know what happened," Blake said. "I started slow. Even when I was winning, I felt like I was just scrapping out points and not dictating the way I wanted to. When Im not doing that, Im not playing my best and Im not confident, and when youre not confident in a tiebreaker youre going to miss a couple of balls by centimetres or millimeters. "I didnt make a lot of first serves in that tiebreaker and didnt give myself the chances I needed to. I cant do that and expect to win out here." Kamkes second-round opponent will be No.6 seed Marinko Matosevic who beat Australian compatriot Chris Guccione 3-6, 6-3, 6-3.

Michael Oher Womens Jersey . That could be the best way to describe the streak D.J. Kennington is on right now in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1.MIAMI -- With the No. 27 pick in the NBA draft, the Miami Heat got a bit of financial flexibility. The newly crowned NBA champions grabbed Mississippi State forward Arnett Moultrie with their lone selection, then quickly traded him to Philadelphia for a future first-round pick and the rights to the 76ers second-round selection. Philadelphia took 7-foot forward Justin Hamilton of LSU at No. 45 with that pick. By trading away the first-round selection, the Heat did not have to commit to any guaranteed contract, potentially saving about $1 million in payroll and an equal amount in salary tax for each of the next two seasons. So on draft day, the biggest Heat news came from the player they drafted nine years ago. Dwyane Wade told USA Basketball that he will need surgery on his left knee and will not be able to play in next months London Olympics. Wade told The Associated Press that he expects to be recovered from the clean-up procedure in time to begin training camp with the Heat next fall.

" And maybe the most interesting element of the draft in Newark, N.J. was the reaction that any mention of the Heat by Commissioner David Stern elicited. Whenever Stern mentioned the Heat, the crowd booed -- loudly. Moultrie wont hear those boos when the Heat hit the road next season. The 6-foot-11 forward spent his first two college seasons at Texas-El Paso, where he averaged 9.3 points in 70 games. This past season, after transferring to Mississippi State, Moultrie averaged 16.4 points and 10.5 rebounds. He was second in the SEC in scoring and led the league in rebounding -- coming in ahead of the No. 1 pick, Kentuckys Anthony Davis in that department. Hamilton spent two years at Iowa State before transferring to LSU and entering the draft with a year of eligibility remaining. He averaged 12.9 points and 7.2 rebounds as a junior. ' ' '
