BAD GASTEIN, Austria -- Andrea Petkovic took another step toward a return to the top 10 of the WTA rankings by winning her second title of the season at the Gastein Ladies on Sunday. The 20th-ranked German, who played her first clay-court event since reaching the semifinals at last months French Open, beat Shelby Rogers of the United States 6-3, 6-3 to follow up on her victory at Charleston in April. "Its a super feeling, I am totally happy," said Petkovic, who reached a career-high ranking of No. 9 almost three years ago. "I want back into the top 10 and I am just playing good tennis. My serve and my footwork can still improve but I am playing well." Petkovic also won the event in 2009 for her first of four career titles, which have all come on clay. "I wanted this victory so badly," Petkovic said. "I am very relieved. Shelby played very aggressive tennis. I didnt know her game but Ive done some research on YouTube." Rogers, who came through qualifying and was ranked 147th, had not been beyond the second round of a WTA event before. The 21-year-old American from Mount Pleasure, South Carolina, hadnt beaten a top-50 player before but defeated No. 16-ranked Carla Suarez Navarro, No. 40 Camila Giorgi and No. 14 Sara Errani all in straight sets this week before going down to Petkovic. "I had an incredible time," said Rogers, who has won four events on the lower-tier ITF circuit. "This has definitely been a week I will never forget." Rogers broke Petkovics serve for an early 2-1 lead but the German immediately levelled the score. At 3-3, Petkovic took six straight games to win the opener and build a 3-0 lead in the second. Rogers closed the gap to 3-2 and then broke her opponent again when Petkovic was serving for the match at 5-2, but netted a backhand in the next game on the German players first match point.

Dax McCarty Jersey . - The Oakland Athletics say they are stopping negotiations to extend their lease at the Coliseum.EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Eli Manning isnt giving up on the season even though the New York Giants playoffs chances are just about shot.Coming off a sixth straight loss that left the Giants with a 3-8 record with five games to play, Manning on Monday said its time for the team to start doing things right. Its time for the Giants to win a game.New York, which can no longer win the NFC East after Sunday nights 31-28 loss to the Cowboys, will get a break over the final five weeks with games against Jacksonville (1-10), Tennessee (2-9), Washington (3-8), St. Louis (4-7) and Philadelphia (8-3).All eight of the Giants losses have been to teams that currently have at least seven wins.I think everybody wants to win, Manning said. Everybody wants to get that feeling back. I have seen that these last few weeks, we havent got discouraged. It is frustrating. Everybody is disappointed today that we didnt get that win. We didnt make every play we needed to get that win and left some plays out there on the field. I think guys understand every game is important, everything you are doing is important.Manning said the Giants arent playing for next season despite the prospect that they are going to miss the playoffs for the third straight season.Right now we are playing for this year, playing for right now, the two-time Super Bowl MVP said.

I think you just have to understand that it is not too late to get on a hot streak and feel good about what we are doing.Giants coach Tom Coughlin said his sole focus is playing the Jaguars on Sunday.The goal is to win, to win a game, Coughlin said. Thats wwhat weve been talking about for quite some time.ddddddddddddhe Giants had chances to win the past two weekends against San Francisco (7-4) and Dallas (8-3). Five turnovers against the Niners led to a 16-10 loss, and the failure of the defence to stop Tony Romo and the Cowboys after the Giants took a 28-24 lead with 3:00 to play cost them on Sunday night.Manning said the Giants werent very good in 2006 and finished with an 8-8 record. The next year they won the Super Bowl without making many changes in personnel.Being with the same crew for a year, two years, or three years, it is going to make you stronger and more comfortable, Manning said. We had some new guys on this squad and hopefully we will be able to stick together for a few more years and make something special. I think it can start right now. It can start at this time. I think we have made some improvement, we are doing some better things, but it is not too late to get on a hot streak, and get things rolling right now.Veteran defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka isnt interested in the Giants record.It is not about getting to a certain number, Kiwanuka said. It is not about changing or doing anything out of the ordinary. It is about playing hard and just getting wins.NOTES: Coughlin said LG Adam Snyder should be OK after sustaining a knee injury.
