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.Devin Hester Youth Jersey .J. -- New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his left knee. Gale Sayers Womens Jersey . 24 Baylor in a Big 12 clash between teams trending in opposite directions. Andrew Wiggins made 10-of-12 from the foul line and scored 17 for Kansas (14-4, 5-0 Big 12), which capped a stretch of four straight games against ranked opponents unscathed. https://www.bearssportsgoods.com/Womens-Brian-Urlacher-Inverted-Jersey/ . Philadelphia is 2-0 against the Senators this season and scored five goals in each victory. The Flyers recorded a 5-0 win in Ottawa on Nov. 12 and then earned a 5-2 home decision on Nov. 19. The Flyers have claimed three straight and four of the last five encounters with the Sens overall and Philly has won two in a row and three of its past four tests in Canadas capital city. Akiem Hicks Bears Jersey . Any real chance at payback wont come until the playoff. Still, Pittsburgh knows its taut 3-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night is a pretty good place to start laying the groundwork. "They are a very good defensive team," Penguins forward Brandon Sutter said. Tarik Cohen Youth Jersey . They were putting most of their energy into a record-setting offensive display.CINCINNATI -- Randy Bullock had just arrived home in Houston -- unemployed after the Steelers released him -- and was doing his laundry when one of Pittsburghs biggest rivals called.The kicker tossed his clothes in the dryer and packed them again, this time for a trip to Cincinnati.And in his first game with a tiger-striped helmet, hell be trying to take the Steelers down.Pittsburgh waived Bullock on Monday because Chris Boswell had fully recovered from an abdominal strain. The Bengals claimed him off waivers and released the struggling Mike Nugent , who had repeatedly missed kicks wide right.Bullock expected to get released by the Steelers. The call from Cincinnati was a surprise.As a kicker, you never know whats going to happen, he said on Wednesday, wearing a Bengals stocking cap and jacket after a morning walkthrough.Coach Marvin Lewis had stuck with Nugent as he went through the worst slump of his 12-year career, missing five of his last nine extra-point attempts.Lewis felt the team had a better chance of working with Nugent to fix his problems rather than bringing in a new kicker.Lewis said that Nugents wide-right kick on a 36-yard field-goal try during a 23-10 victory at Cleveland on Sunday was the tipping point.Mike has been pretty consistent in practice but for whatever the reason, in the game it just hasnt worked that way -- missing the field goal before halftime last week, one that obviously he should make, Lewis said on Wednesday.Nugents struggles began at midseason. He missed a 51-yard field goal and an extra point during a 27-27 tie with Washington in London, and Bullock was one of the kickers whom the Bengals considered during their following bye week.It went really well, Bullock said of the tryout with Cincinnati. I felt llike I stood out, and I was hoping at some point I would get an opportunity.dddddddddddd It took a little longer than I expected, but morning came Im here now and Im really excited.Instead of signing Bullock, the Bengals decided to stick with Nugent. Now Bullock gets a chance to claim the job for the final few games and beyond.He was Houstons fifth-round draft pick in 2012 and has played in 45 games with the Texans, Jets, Giants and Steelers. He has made 78 of 96 field-goal attempts and all but four of his 95 point-after tries.I think any game is an audition, so Im thankful for the opportunity, Bullock said. Ive had a couple fill-in positions. Im here to perform at a high level, help this team win and hopefully stick.His first opportunity comes against his former team. The Bengals (5-7-1) need to beat the AFC North leaders (8-5) to maintain their slim chances of making the playoffs.Its always fun to have an opportunity to play against somebody who has released you, whether its recent or some other time, Bullock said.Game notesReceiver A.J.
