WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- American Sam Querrey edged Finlands Jarkko Nieminen 4-6, 7-6 (7), 7-6 (12) on Wednesday to advance to the Winston-Salem Open quarterfinals. Querrey had 19 aces, but lost the first set to the left-handed Nieminen after leading 4-1. Querrey then had to overcome five match points in the third-set tiebreaker to advance to his fourth tournament quarterfinals this season. "I just played some sloppy points (in the first set)," Querrey said. "I missed a few when I was up 4-2, and I missed some easy forehands later on. That kind of got me down, and it took a while for me to get back into it. "That was just a lack of confidence right out of the gate ... but I knew that if I could get into a tiebreaker, I could win my serve and grind out a few points on his serve." The 29th-ranked Querrey will face unseeded Ricardas Berankis of Lithuania, a 6-3, 6-3 winner over Spains Roberto Bautista Agut. "Its always painful to lose a tight match," Nieminen said. "When it got to 6-6 (in the third-set tiebreaker), I saw that he looked tired. Thats when I stopped playing the way I did before, and missed some shots. I wanted to make him run, but I should have gone for my shots like I did before." Querrey is the lone American player remaining in the final hard-court tournament before the U.S. Open next week. Qualifier Steve Johnson, who upset second-seeded Andreas Seppi of Italy on Tuesday, lost to Taiwans Lu Yen-Hsun Lu 6-3, 6-2. In other third-round results Wednesday, Jurgen Melzer of Austria beat Frenchman Benoit Paire 6-4, 6-3; Dmitry Tursunov topped fellow Russian Alex Bogomolov Jr. 6-3, 7-5; and Spains Fernando Verdasco downed Robin Haase of the Netherlands 6-4, 6-7 (10), 6-3.

Manning and the Denver Broncos waited eight long months, then another 33 minutes to get the season started because of a lightning storm.Eddie Jones could be deliberating whether to replace Chris Robshaw with Maro Itoje in Englands back row for Saturdays opening Test against Australia, live on Sky Sports 1. Itoje was given Robshaws place at blindside flanker during Mondays training session and could provide an injection of dynamism to the position, with his power, athleticism and ability over the ball all features of a stellar season which saw him win the Aviva Premiership and Champions Cup with Saracens.Joe Launchbury would fill the vacancy at lock after his outstanding shift in the rout of Wales at Twickenham last month, a match World Cup captain Robshaw missed to attend his brothers wedding in Portugal. Itoje has enjoyed a successful season with Saracens Should he be selected, 21-year-old Itoje would encounter the toughest of matches against Wallabies back row masters David Pocock and Michael Hooper in a Test Jones insists England must win if they are to secure an historic series victory.Jones also must decide whether to persevere with the out-of-form George Ford at fly-half or name Owen Farrell as his playmaker, with uncapped rugby league convert Ben Teo favourite to fill the vacancy at inside centre if Farrell is moved.Teo missed a training session on Monday with muscle soreness but is expected to train on Thursday, with the 29-year-old set to join Worcester from Leinster upon his return from the tour. Chris Robshaw may lose his spot in Englands back row against Australia Australia head coach Michael Cheika has revealed he tried to persuade Teo to join a Super Rugby team, thus making him eligible for Wallabies selection, but lacked the financial muscle to compete with the Warriors and insisted he would not have made the World Cup finalists squad so soon anyway.I spoke a fair bit to Ben before he went over to Leinster because its my old club. We talked about footie, Cheika said. He was always going to make it because of his attitude towards the game. He wasnt pressured by a lot of fanfare, either. He just went over there and got things done. We would have been keen to have him back in Australia but clubs over there have too much money. Its hard and shows a bit of the divide around where the money is in rugby when we as a national team cant compete with Worcester for a player.He would have been back in Super Rugby but Im not saying he would have been in this squad. We wanted him back to play Super Rugby, with a view to having that depth with him becoming available for selection. But I wouldnt have said he would have been in this squad, no.

Hes made the decision to come here on the England tour, hes not with Ireland or back with Australia.
