TOKYO -- Canada is down 2-1 to Japan in its best-of-five World Group Davis Cup
series following a doubles match loss on Saturday.
David Harris Jets Jersey . Torontos Daniel
Nestor and Frank Dancevic of Niagara Falls, Ont., fell to Japans Kei Nishikori
and Yasutaka Uchiyama 6-3, 7-6 (3), 4-6, 6-4. Both teams made player
substitutions prior to the match as Dancevic went in for Vancouvers Vasek
Pospisil, who is still recovering from a back injury. Nishikori subbed in for
Yuichi Sugita on the Japanese side. The match marked the first time Dancevic and
Nestor had played together in three years. "I thought those guys came out really
strong and we really didnt take advantage of our chances," said Canadian captain
Martin Laurendeau. "The guys fought really hard and it was really a matter of a
few points." The Canadian pair got out to an early lead in the second set but
Japan broke back to force the tiebreak, and capitalized to take a two-set
advantage before Nestor and Dancevic captured the third set. For Nestor, the
loss was only his eighth in Davis Cup doubles play in his entire 22-year career
representing Canada. It was also the first loss for Dancevic and Nestor as a
pair, who entered the contest undefeated together with a 3-0 record. Canada is
currently ranked No. 7 on the Davis Cup Nations ranking while Japan sits at No.
12. Japan owns a 5-0 record against Canada in Davis Cup action, but the two
countries had not played each other since 1938 prior to this tournament.
Dancevic will play World No. 18 Nishikori in a must-win singles match on Sunday.
If a fifth and final match is needed, Peter Polansky of Thornhill, Ont., will
face Go Soeda, also on Sunday. The nations split their opening pair of
first-round singles matches on Friday, with Nishikori defeating Polansky in
straight sets 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, before Canada pulled even on the strength of
Dancevics 6-4, 7-6 (2), 6-1 victory over Soeda.

Joe Louis Arena another chance to ask for autographs from the 19-year-old whose
stardom in the NHL has arrived earlier than most expected.

. -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being sober for good.ENGLEWOOD,
Colo. -- Last week, Chris Harris marveled at how much Denvers injury-riddled
defence had changed and how not a single player who started against Baltimore in
last years playoffs would start at the same position against San Diego on the
anniversary of that crushing loss. "Weve lost so many guys," he said, shaking
his head. "Weve gotten good at keeping that next-man-up mentality." On Monday,
it was his turn to get the bad news: Hell miss the rest of the Broncos playoff
run after an MRI showed he had a torn ACL in his left knee that will require
surgery and at least six months of rehab. "Theres no doubt hes one of our better
performers on defence throughout this season, but ... weve lost some pretty good
performers throughout the season and this teams been resilient," coach John Fox
said. Harris was injured in the third quarter of Denvers 24-17 win over San
Diego on Sunday. Fox wouldnt say if Quentin Jammer will start in the AFC title
game when the Broncos (14-3) host the Patriots (13-4) this weekend. "Its a long
list, a long cast," Fox said. "If I knew right now, I wouldnt say anyways." Foxs
options include moving Champ Bailey, a 12-time Pro Bowler whos been relegated to
slot duty after returning from a nagging foot injury last month, back outside or
inserting rookie Kayvon Webster into the starting lineup opposite
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Webster is playing with a cast on his right thumb,
which he broke in two places a month ago. Another option is dusting off
Tony Carter, who was one of the goats in Denvers 34-31 overtime loss at New
England on Nov. 24 when a punt hit his leg, the Patriots recovered and
Stephen Gostkowski kicked the game-winning 31-yard field goal. After Harris got
hurt, Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers staged a comeback from a 17-point
deficit largely by targeting Harris rusty replacement, Jammer. It fell short,
however, when Peyton Manning was able to keep Rivers on the sideline over the
final 3 minutes, 51 seconds by converting a trio of third downs. Jammer
surrendered a 49-yard completion to Keenan& Allen on fourth-and-5 from the
Chargers 25 with seven minutes left that helped turn a comfortable cruise into a
nail-biter.
Kellen Davis Jersey. "When Chris went down,
things started to unravel a little bit on the back end," safety Mike Adams said.
"Jam, Im not worried about him. He gave up a big play, but he could bounce back.
Hes been in the league a long time. Weve all had bad games before." Adams said
the Broncos wouldnt have to adjust their defence to provide help to whomever
replaces Harris, either, insisting: "Im confident if Tony Carter goes out there,
if Kayvon Webster goes out there, if Jam goes out there." Harris had played more
snaps than anybody on defence and had 65 tackles, three interceptions and 15
pass breakups, all career highs. "Its another disappointment for us," linebacker
Paris Lenon said. "Somebody else that weve been battling with that has been a
huge part of this team and this defence that is down. Its an opportunity for
somebody else to step up and play big." The Broncos have withstood an injury
epidemic to reach their first conference championship in eight seasons, but
Harris injury could prove the hardest to overcome. Harris is the fifth defensive
starter the Broncos have lost since November, joining Von Miller,
Kevin Vickerson, Rahim Moore and Derek Wolfe. "Its terrible news,"
Terrance Knighton said. "You hate to see a guy having a great year, going into a
contract year (get hurt). I wish him the best. I wish him a speedy recovery, but
we just have to focus on the task at hand right now and thats New England.
Whoever will fill his shoes, whoever we put in there, has to step up." Harris
was hurt on the opposite side of the field when Rivers completed a 19-yard pass
to Allen along the San Diego sideline with 8:17 remaining in the third quarter.
Allen would catch two TD passes after that and it took Mannings superb 4-minute
drill to staunch Rivers rally. "Philip got hot there in the second half. I did
not want to give him the ball back there at the end," Manning said.
