MELBOURNE, Australia - Eugenie Bouchards jaw dropped a little and her eyes went wide when the male presenter conducting her on-court interview at the Australian Open made an unusual request: Can you give us a twirl?A twirl? the 20-year-old Canadian asked.A twirl, like a pirouette, here you go, coaxed her white-haired interviewer on Margaret Court Arena, urging the Wimbledon runner-up to show the crowd her outfit, a pink skirt and top with bright yellow straps.Somewhat uncomfortably, the No. 7-ranked player twirled. Then she laughed and buried her face in her hands.During her post-match news conference Bouchard spoke first about her dominating 6-0, 6-3 win over Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands in just 54 minutes. Then she addressed the twirl.It was very unexpected, said Bouchard, who is known for a steely determination, drive and ambition that propelled her from relative obscurity to stardom last year. She reached the semifinals at last years Australian and French Opens and the final at Wimbledon, becoming the first Canadian to appear in a Grand Slam final.I dont know, an old guy asking you to twirl. It was funny, she said.The 1.78-meter (5 foot-10) blonde is considered the next big star of the womens game. She broke into the top 10 for the first time last year after her success at Wimbledon where she lost in the final to Petra Kvitova. Her current ranking is the highest ever for a Canadian player.I try to get into an aggressive position as much as possible, she told a television interviewer after her match. Asked to reflect on her breakthroughs last year and her future goals, Bouchard replied, I dont think Ive achieved that much.Im proud, of course, of what I did last year, she said, but added, I want to win a Grand Slam. I want to get to No. 1 in the world. I did good last year but I want to do so much better.Bouchard is one of several players sporting this seasons colour theme of neon pink and yellow tennis outfits.No. 1 Serena Williams is wearing a somewhat similar dress, in yellow with pink straps but with a large chunk cut out of the back that she says is meant to draw attention to the beauty and the shape of the back.After Williams first-round win Tuesday on Margaret Court Arena, the Australian Opens second show court, the same presenter asked her to twirl for the crowd, which she often does anyway to thank the crowd after winning.Serena is good at her twirl. She does them all the time, Bouchard told the presenter after her awkward twirl and then added: Maybe I should cut a hole in my top tonight and show off my back like Serena. Mike Bibby Jersey .

A criminal complaint filed in Hennepin County District Court said his girlfriend told police they got into the argument early Thursday at his suburban Minneapolis home.(SportsNetwork.com) - The Philadelphia Eagles no longer control their own destiny and squandered those chances with back-to-back convincing defeats. The Eagles will try to keep their fading playoff hopes alive when they visit the Washington Redskins Saturday at FedEx Field. Philadelphia was in a euphoric state after dismantling rival Dallas on Thanksgiving, but came back down to Earth with a 24-14 loss to Seattle the next week. To make matters worse, the Cowboys entered south Philly Sunday night and left town with a 38-27 victory and sole possession of first place in the NFC East. Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant torched Eagles cornerback Bradley Fletcher for 114 yards and three touchdowns on six receptions. I had a terrible game. Thats what happened today, Fletcher said. Eagles other defensive back Cary Williams was whistled for a few penalties in the loss, Philadelphias third in the last five games. The start of the game set the tone for the Cowboys, who recovered the opening kickoff deep in Philadelphia territory after Josh Huff let the ball bounce, almost as if he was fielding a punt. DeMarco Murray later scored on a one-yard run to open the scoring and Dallas eventually led 21-0. Philadelphia would scored the next 24 points for a three-point lead, but the Cowboys persevered with back-to-back scores from Murray and Bryant. Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez completed 17-of-28 passes for 252 yards and two interceptions. Sanchez, who shouldered blame for the loss, has nine INTs this season to 10 touchdown passes and is looking forward. Weve just got to bounce back, Sanchez said Sunday night. Get this taste out of our mouth as soon as possible, as in tonight, and get in there, get in the film room, shake it off and move on. Because I know we have so much talent on this team, and it would be a real shame if we didnt maximize it and get these next couple of wins. But it starts with next week. I need to clean up some mistakes and attack this thing like I do every week. Thats with a positive attitude, learning from the previous week, learning from this game and being ready to play. The Eagles will close the regular season on the road against the New York Giants on Dec. 28 and can miss out on a chance to win the NFC East with a loss Saturday and a Dallas win Sunday versus Indianapolis. Washington is last in the NFC East with a dismal 3-11 record and is mired in a six-game losing streak. In Sundays 24-13 road loss to the Giants, Robert Griffin III took over for Colt McCoy (neck) and completed 18-of-27 passes for 236 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions. McCoy left early against the Giants after aggravating a neck injury and was placed on season-ending injured reserve. Now the starting job is back in the hands of Griffin, who is supposedly the future and face of the franchise. Weve got two games left and weve got to make sure that as a team we go out there ready to play, Griffin said. These guys in there are the best in the world, so we have to go out there and show it. So I pray that the team is ready to go. Griffin said the Eagles have an aggressive defense, but is ready for the challenge. Griffin did not play in the first meeting with the Eagles, a 37-34 setback at Lincoln Financial Field in Week 3. Kirk Cousins, who is now the backup, threw for 427 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Pierre Garcon caught 11 passes for 138 yards and a score, while former Eagle DeSean Jackson recorded 117 yards and a score on five catches, including an 81-yard TD reception in the third quarter. Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin ended with 154 yards and a TD on eight catches. Maclin, who owns 10 TDs this season, has four 100-yard games in the last five against the Skins. The Redskins struggled against Giants rookie wideout Odell Beckham Jr. and could be in for another frustrating game versus Maclin. Eagles quarterback Nick Foles, who is out with a broken clavicle, coompleted 27 of his 41 pass attempts for 325 yards and three scores with no INTs back in Week 3.dddddddddddd Now its up to Sanchez to get Philly back on track. He won his only start against the Redskins back on Dec. 4, 2011 with the New York Jets. The Redskins lost both meetings with the Eagles last season, but lead the all- time series, 81-74-6. Washington has lost three in a row and six of the past eight meetings between the rivals. WHAT TO WATCH FOR The Eagles have been able to slow down two of the top running backs in the league the last few weeks. Murray and Seattles Marshawn Lynch had seen better days against the Eagles, who now have to worry about both Alfred Morris and Griffin. Eagles head coach Chip Kelly knows how good RG3 is. If you sleep on that guy, trust me, youll be sitting here after the game going, Boy, he ran for 100 yards against you, howd that happen? Kelly said Wednesday. That kids athletic as heck, and he can run really, really well. We have to understand where he is on every single play. Philadelphia struggled against the elusive Russell Wilson in the loss to the Seahawks and could be in for a long afternoon if it misses assignments and tackles poorly. Weve got to be really sharp on our contain when we rush the quarterback, because hes a different element than weve seen except for Russell Wilson, Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins said. Jenkins also acknowledged Griffins arm strength and ability to set his feet and throw after moving out of harms way. Griffin has explosive receivers in Garcon, Jackson and tight end Jordan Reed. Morris can catch passes as well and needs 52 rushing yards for a third straight 1,000-yard season. The Eagles wont have Trent Cole Saturday and possibly for the remainder of the season because of a broken hand suffered Sunday night. Brandon Graham will make the start in Coles place at outside linebacker Im just excited for any opportunity that I get, Graham said. Im definitely going to make the best of this opportunity, these last two games, and hopefully we can sneak into these playoffs. Rookie Marcus Smith could see extended playing time, too. Hes played in eight games and has just one tackle to show for it. Im working hard and I have to be ready, Smith said. The best way to learn is to get out on the field and do it. Eagles linebacker Connor Barwin leads the team and the NFC with 14 1/2 sacks and has recorded four in the past four games. Fellow linebacker Mychal Kendricks leads the team with 67 tackles (51 solo). Washington has a talented pass rusher in Ryan Kerrigan, who has 12 1/2 sacks this season. Kerrigan has posted four sacks in the last five games against Philadelphia. Linebacker Keenan Robinson leads the Skins with 99 tackles (64 solo). The Redskins are one of three teams with only five interceptions this season. Kansas City is at the bottom with only four INTs. Robinson has one of those picks. OVERALL ANALYSIS Eagles running back LeSean McCoy didnt have a healthy line to play behind in the first meeting with the Redskins and recorded 22 yards on 19 carries. He has just two 100-yard games in his last six and posted 64 yards on 16 carries Sunday night. The situation were in now, we need wins, and theyre a team trying to finish the season out. Ive been there. I know that type of role, McCoy said. You want to play hard, but youve probably got your flights already scheduled, where youre going. Were fighting for something. Tackle Jason Peters was ejected in the first game for defending Foles, who was blindsided by Redskins defensive lineman Chris Baker on a turnover. Were going down there to win ... Point blank, Peters said. Whatever weve got to do to win, thats what were going down to do. Philadelphia will keep its playoff hopes alive and can only hope the Colts upend the Cowboys in Big D. Its a lot to ask, but extremely possible.
