TORONTO -- After a gutsy day of comeback tennis,?Grigor Dimitrov?has a twinkle in his eyes. This was supposed to be the?season the formerly eighth-ranked Bulgarian, who entered the Rogers Cup at No. 48, rediscovered his shot-making.Instead, it had become the one in which he dumped a match in Istanbul by racket-smashing his way to a DQ -- and otherwise twisted himself in knots.But right now all that feels, if not far away, at least not of the moment. In the space of a few hours Monday, the 25-year-old came back from nearly getting ousted by a Japanese challenger in his first-round match at the Rogers Cup to giving a surprisingly spirited aerial show with his doubles partner, Stan Wawrinka.Advancing past the first round of a non-Grand Slam event shouldnt have a revelatory feeling. But it does for Dimitrov, not least because of the way he did it -- breaking down the suddenly bewildered Yuichi Sugita, who was three points from winning in a second-set tiebreaker.After a half hours rest, Dimitrov came back, moved to a side court and, with only a handful of people watching, made aerial shots like the one where he leaped up on the ad side at net, twisted his body to adjust to a drive into his gut, and then moved his racket like a lead guitarist to redirect the ball sideways and low across the net so it kicked off the tape of the forehand doubles alley. Epic, was how he described it.These are the kind of matches I need to play now, Dimitrov said. Ive been working very hard, even though Ive had bad results.Expectations have always been high for Dimitrov, who was dubbed Baby Fed from the moment he came on to the scene, fair or not.I had a little burden all my life with Rogers thing, comparing me and all that, Dimitrov said 24 hours before the Swiss shut down his season to further rehab his knee. It started when I was a junior, and it didnt help. Didnt help at all. Ive been dealing with this all my career so far.Thank God thats all behind me.Dimitrov says hes done rebelling against comparisons.At some point in your life, he said, you need to sit down and say, What do I want to do? How do I want to be remembered? Whats my legacy? And whats important to me? This is the type of conversation I had with myself. Its very hard to look at the man in the mirror. Because you cant hide anything. I think, for me, OK, there were a lot of things I had to say to myself and accept.Digging himself out of the first round of the Rogers Cup doesnt qualify as career breakthrough -- not when his contemporary and Canadas hometown star, Milos Raonic, is coming off a Wimbledon final. But its a start.So are the Olympics.Unlike several of his fellow millennials, who dont see the sense of competing in an event that doesnt get them rankings points, Dimitrov sees another way to get his groove -- if not his gravitas -- back. Maybe more importantly, hes trying to rediscover how to have fun.In London, I didnt even get the chance to go to the village, Dimitrov said. Im going in the village now, so Im excited.The twinkle is back, in the eyes of a new man. Cheap NBA Jerseys .

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Kenny Hill kept smiling Saturday night, even after interceptions on consecutive throws in his TCU debut.The junior transfer -- almost two years removed from losing the starting job at Texas A&M -- was just trying to keep the teams spirits up despite an early deficit.Coach Gary Patterson had a slightly different view before the 13th-ranked Horned Frogs rallied and pulled away late in a 59-41 victory over South Dakota State on Saturday night.I told him it wasnt that funny, Patterson said. Then after they scored a couple of touchdowns, then it wasnt that funny. Its not about how many yards, how many touchdowns. Its about winning.Hill eventually came around, accounting for five touchdowns after KaVontae Turpin sparked the Frogs with an 81-yard punt return in their 15th straight home-opening win since losing to Northwestern State -- another lower-division team -- in Pattersons first year as head coach.I was just trying to let everybody know, like, `Hey man, I got you, Im not going to make any more mistakes, said Hill, the son of former major league pitcher Ken Hill and a former high school standout not far from the TCU campus. I made a mistake, but were about to bounce back right here.Playing for the first time since a 59-0 loss to Alabama in his last game with the Aggies, Hill was 33 of 49 for 439 yards with two touchdown passes, ran for three scores and converted a critical third down with a 13-yard scramble while the Frogs were up four points in the fourth quarter.That drive ended on a 46-yard scoring pass to Taj Williams for a 52-41 lead. Williams, who had 11 catches for 158 yards, made the grab after the ball deflected several yards forward off the hands of TCU receiver Desmon White and South Dakota State linebacker Dallas Brown.Hills consecutive interceptions led to a 10-point lead for the Jackrabbits of the Football Championship Subdivision.Turpin started the recovery from the surprising second-quarter deficit with his return, sparking the Frogs to their 14th straight home win, third among Power Five schools behind Florida State and Clemson. The 5-foot-9 speedster added a 33-yard run and finished with 177 all-purpose yards.Taryn Christion threw for 333 yards and three toouchdowns -- two to Jake Wieneke, who had eight catches for 196 yards.ddddddddddddIsaac Wallace had an 87-yard touchdown run after Makiah Slade intercepted Hill at the South Dakota State 1. Wallace finished with 112 yards rushing. Christions 12-yard run put the Jackrabbits ahead 17-7 after Hills second interception.I told you on Tuesday they were good players. Now theyre still good players, Patterson said of the Jackrabbits. We didnt do a very good job.Kyle Hicks ran for two touchdowns, including a 3-yarder that put TCU ahead for good in the third quarter.POLL IMPLICATIONSTCU: The Frogs might fall even with two teams in the top five losing (No. 3 Oklahoma and No. 5 LSU). In fact, the Frogs likely wont be the highest-ranked team in Texas for the coming week. No. 15 Houstons 33-23 win over the Sooners is likely to vault the Cougars into the top 10.THE TAKEAWAYSOUTH DAKOTA STATE: The Jackrabbits have to feel pretty good about a fifth straight trip the FCS playoffs. A year after its first win over an FBS opponent (41-38 at Kansas), South Dakota State kept making big plays after TCU went ahead by two scores for the first time at 45-31 in the third quarter.TCU: The fiery Patterson built his reputation on defense, and that took a hit with South Dakota State rolling up 461 yards. The Frogs sacked Christion four times, but he still had time to drop perfect passes into coverage several times. Practice wont be fun for the Frogs this week. Still, the offense looked good without Trevone Boykin, finishing with 662 yards.UP NEXTSOUTH DAKOTA STATE: The Jackrabbits open their newly renovated stadium against Drake in the first of three straight home games. The rest of the South Dakota State schedule is FCS teams.TCU: Perhaps Arkansas was guilty of the same thing as the Frogs -- peeking ahead at Week 2 as a heavy favorite in the home opener. The Razorbacks visit Fort Worth coming off a 21-20 win over Louisiana Tech. Its the first meeting of the former Southwest Conference rivals since 1991, when Arkansas was an independent for a season after leaving the SWC to eventually join the SEC. ' ' '
