eighth-seeded Dolgopolov was hurt during a first-round doubles late Thursday,
forcing him and Ernests Gulbis to retire. Fourth-seeded Grigor Dimitrov of
Bulgaria benefited from the walkover into the semifinals on Saturday, when he
will meet either top seed Stanislas Wawrinka or Marinko Matosevic of Australia.

shooting 38 per cent from the field overall this season, the Utah Jazz rookie
always feels like his final shot is going in. FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Fumbles
plagued Stevan Ridley even when the ball was dry. A steady rain presents another
challenge to the New England Patriots running back. It wasnt a problem for him
Thursday. The Patriots continued their organized team activities on a soggy day
and Ridley gripped the ball as if his job depended on it. It might if he keeps
fumbling. "I told one of the young guys today, thats the quickest way to get off
the field," Ridley said. "You can ask me first." Hes speaks from experience.
Ridley lost fumbles in three consecutive games last season. After the third, in
the first quarter against the Denver Broncos on Nov. 24, he was benched for the
rest of New Englands 34-31 comeback win in overtime. He lost a total of four
fumbles last season leading to three touchdowns and a field goal. So hes been
focusing on avoiding a repeat this year. "All you can do is really squeeze (the
ball) high and tight," Ridley said. "I think that was a lesson I had to go
through and, hopefully, I wont have to go through it again, but who knows? "A
little bit of adversity never hurts anybody. ... You take your mistakes, you
learn from them and you grow and you just keep on pushing." The third-round pick
from LSU fumbled just once as a rookie in 2011, but the Patriots recovered it.
He lost two of his four fumbles in 2012 before the problem escalated last year.
And his rushing production dropped -- from 1,263 yards and 12 touchdowns on 290
carries in 2012 to 773 yards and seven touchdowns on 178 attempts. So hes
concentrating on improving his overall focus on every play. "I think if I can do
that I can become a better player," Ridley said. "When you lose focus on the
small things -- whether its small assignments, whether its carrying the
football, whether its running a route, whether its blitz pickup -- those are
things that cost you your playing time." LeGarrette Blount emerged as the top
back late in the season, rushing for 431 yards and eight touchdowns in tthree
straight games before both runners were shut down in a 26-16 loss at Denver in
the AFC championship game.

Pittsburgh Steelers as a free agent, leaving Ridley, Shane Vereen and
Brandon Bolden as coach Bill Belichicks veteran backs. "You can go out there and
be a starter one game and the next game youre two or three guys behind," Ridley
said. "Thats what Coach stresses to us every week. We have to go out there and
be as competitive as we can be. Hes going to play the matchups game and we just
have to be unselfish enough to capitalize on the plays that we get." Ridleys
four fumbles last year came on dry days. It rained during the last
regular-season game, a 34-20 win over the Buffalo Bills, and the first playoff
games, a 43-22 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Both games were at Foxborough.
On Thursday, three months before the regular season, rain fell throughout
practice. "Theres no contact so you should be running your routes perfect. You
should be catching every ball thats thrown to you. You shouldnt be dropping
anything on the ground," Ridley said. "Rain, sleet, whatevers out there,
whatever the conditions are, you have to find a way to fight through that." Some
had trouble. One receiver fell while trying to cut. "When you have a wet
surface, you have to stick to your fundamentals," wide receiver Julian Edelman
said. Wet or dry, Ridley knows he must do that all the time. "Were practicing
either way. Coach says he doesnt care about the conditions -- rain, sleet, snow
-- were playing in them," he said. "You just never know, but whatever it is
there are no excuses." Ridley is entering the final season of his contract and
tries not to think much about it. "I have to go out there and play football and
hit it hard and run the ball and get wide open," he said. "I just have to be the
same player Ive been." Anything else? "Try to go out there and be mistake-free."
