Paris, France (Sports Network) - Reigning world No. Hisashi Iwakuma Authentic Jersey . 1 Novak Djokovic and former champion and four-time runner-up Roger Federer were among Sundays fourth-round winners at the French Open. But it was no walk in the park for either player on Day 8. The current Australian Open, U.S. Open and Wimbledon champion Djokovic looked to be in trouble early on against Andreas Seppi, but stormed back to take a 4-6, 6-7 (5-7), 6-3, 7-5, 6-3 decision over the Italian. "Well, its one of those days where you dont feel just nothing is working, you know, really," Djokovic said. "My serve was well. But aside from that, I could not get into the rhythm, you know. I was fighting, and I think because of the fight I won the match." Djokovic extended his Grand Slam winning streak to 25 matches. The super Serb has reached his 12th consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal, which puts him into a tie for fourth with Bjorn Borg for the most consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal appearances in the Open Era. The last time he failed to reach the quarterfinals at a Grand Slam was when he lost to Philipp Kohlschreiber as the No. 4 seed in the third round at Roland Garros in 2009. Djokovic needs a French Open title to complete a career Grand Slam. He lost to Federer in the semifinals here a year ago, which also brought to an end a 45- match overall winning streak by the Serb. Djokovic improved to 8-0 all-time against Seppi, who was trying to reach his first Grand Slam quarterfinal. Next up for the high-flying Djokovic will be either Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga or Switzerlands Stanislas Wawrinka. The fifth-seeded Tsonga was leading Wawrinka 6-4, 7-6 (8-6), 3-6, 3-6, 4-2 when the match was suspended due to darkness. They will finish on Monday. The third-seeded former world No. 1 superstar Federer was pushed to four sets for a third straight match, but got past Belgian David Goffin 5-7, 7-5, 6-2, 6-4. "I thought he played really well. Great impression," Federer said. "He took the ball early every time. Dont hit a very good shot, he can take advantage of that. Hes got great potential in terms of his touch and the way he reads the game. I thought it was an interesting match." The 16-time major titlist Federer captured the French Open in 2009 to complete a career Grand Slam and has been the runner-up to Rafael Nadal here on four occasions, including last year. Federer will be appearing in his 32nd consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal, which is the most consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal appearances in the Open Era. Overall, the Swiss star has advanced to the quarterfinals at a Grand Slam event 36 times. That puts him into a tie for second place with Andre Agassi on the list of most Grand Slam quarterfinal appearances in the Open Era. Up next for Federer, seeking his first Grand Slam title in more than two years, will be either seventh-seeded Tomas Berdych or former U.S. Open champ Juan Martin del Potro. Del Potro, the No. 9 seed, was leading seventh-seeded Berdych 7-6 (8-6), 1-6, 6-3 when their match was suspended due to darkness. They will also finish on Monday. In other fourth-round play Monday, Rafael Nadal, who is gunning for a seventh title overall at Roland Garros, will take on Juan Monaco, while Andy Murray will do battle with Frenchman Richard Gasquet. Also, sixth-seeded David Ferrer will square off against Marcel Granollers and Janko Tipsarevic, the No. 8 seed, will play 12th-seeded Nicolas Almagro. Justin Smoak Authentic Jersey . The Korea Football Association announced Thursday that Park Joo-ho will join the 23-man squad to replace the 21-year-old Kim, a Japan-based left back who has played nine internationals since Hong Myung-bo took over as head coach last year. Ichiro Suzuki Jersey . -- The Royals have agreed to terms with 10 players not yet eligible for arbitration on major league contracts, including outfielders Lorenzo Cain and Jarrod Dyson.The Los Angeles Kings jumped out to a 3-0 first-period lead and the Chicago Blackhawks couldnt catch them, with the Kings taking a 5-2 decision in Game Four to take a 3-1 lead in the series. Kings D Jake Muzzin scored the first of two power play goals for the Kings. Playing more than 21 minutes per game in the playoffs, Muzzin now has 11 points, placing him third among defencemen in the postseason. Not bad for a guy who didnt hook on with an NHL club until the Kings signed him during his overage junior season in Sault Ste. Marie. Four years later, Muzzin is on the top defence pairing for a team closing in on the Western Conference title. Muzzin is paired with Drew Doughty, who also had a goal and an assist in Game Four (though his goal appeared to be deflected in by Dwight King) and leads defencemen with 14 points in the playoffs. Game Four was so well in hand for the Kings that they could limit Doughtys ice time; 23:55 was Doughtys lowest ice time since Game Two of the playoffs (after which he complained about his lack of ice time). For once, the Blackhawks didnt get burned by the line of Jeff Carter, Tanner Pearson and Tyler Toffoli, until Pearson scored into an empty net, though Pearson had a team-high seven shot attempts and tied Carter with a team-leading four shots on goal. The bad news for Chicago is that the Kings other top scorers got on track. Marian Gaborik scored a goal while Anze Kopitar and Justin Williams each picked up a couple of assists; Kopitar extending his playoff scoring lead with 22 points and Gaborik leads all playoff goal-scorers, with 10. In their ultimately fruitless attempt to come back, the Blackhawks chances were created by their power forwards. Marian Hossa, Bryan Bickell and Brandon Sadd had nine, eight and seven shot attempts, respectively, to lead the Bllackhawks. Ken Griffey Mariners Jersey. Saad and Bickell scored Chicagos goals. Chicagos leaders, C Jonathan Toews and RW Patrick Kane, skated together for most of the game, as the Blackhawks tried to shake up lines and it didnt really work. While both assisted on Bickells third-period goal, Toews didnt register a shot on goal (though, immediately preceding Bickells goal, Doughty basically blocked a Toews shot in the crease to prevent a goal), the second time in the series Toews has been held without a shot on goal. The Blackhawks need their big guns to be firing, but they also need G Corey Crawford to perform better. After allowing four goals on 20 shots in Game Four, Crawford has stopped 69 of 82 shots (.841 SV%) in the last three games. The goals against arent all on Crawford, to be sure but, no matter how you slice it, .841 isnt good enough to win. Blackhawks C Michal Handzus played a game-low 4:28, not seeing the ice beyond six minutes into the second period. This isnt the first time in the playoffs that a team, on the verge of elimination, has looked like they were on the way out, and thats the situation in which the Blackhawks find themselves now. More than 90% of teams with a three-game-to-one lead in an NHL playoff series go on to win, so the Blackhawks have a steep hill to climb. But, they can look across the ice and take heart, knowing that the Kings had to overcome a three-games-to-none deficit in Round One against San Jose to get turned loose on this playoff run. Right now, the Kings look invincible, but hockey is a funny game sometimes and if the Blackhawks are better on home ice in Game Five, maybe they still have a way to dig out of this hole.
