BUENOS AIRES, Argentina -- David Nalbandian, the 2002 Wimbledon finalist who caused an uproar a decade later by injuring a line judge at another tournament,
retired from professional tennis Tuesday because of a shoulder injury.

Vecino Uruguay Jersey . The 31-year-old Argentine player described it as a
"difficult day," but told a news conference that he was "super grateful" to his
sport. Saying his shoulder did not "respond well" to treatment, Nalbandian
concluded: "I cannot compete." Nalbandian spent 13 years on the ATP tour,
reaching No. 3 in the rankings in 2006 and spending five consecutive years in
the top 10. He reached at least the semifinals at all four Grand Slam
tournaments, losing to Lleyton Hewitt of Australia in the 2002 final at
Wimbledon. Before Wimbledon in 2012, Nalbandian was disqualified and fined after
a line judge was hurt when the player kicked an advertising board during the
final at the Queens Club grass-court tuneup tournament. A piece of the barrier
hit the judges left shin, drawing blood. Nalbandian lost nearly $70,000.
Nalbandian also forfeited ranking points and wasnt seeded at Wimbledon that
month, meaning he lost a chance to face an easier opponent in the first round.
He lost his opening match in straight sets. This year, he played only 11
matches, including a run to the final at a clay-court tournament in Brazil. His
current ranking is No. 231. He won 11 singles titles, most recently in 2010 at
Washington. Nalbandian said his greatest regret was not being able to help
Argentina win the Davis Cup. He was a member of runner-up teams in 2006, 2008
and 2011. He will play an exhibition match against 13-time major champion Rafael
Nadal on Nov. 23 in Buenos Aires.

http://www.officialsoccerfanshop.com/Chile/Mauricio-Isla-Jersey/ . A question that was repeatedly posed last season, and the season before that
and in the 2011 campaign before that.STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Mississippi State was
crushed twice by Florida last season, once by 35 points and the other by 25.
This time around, the margin was just 11. That represents progress for
Mississippi State, which lost 62-51 to No. 3 Florida on Thursday night, but the
gap between the Gators and the Bulldogs is still vast. "Our team is growing,"
Mississippi State coach Rick Ray said. "But weve still got a ways to go."
Mississippi State (13-7, 3-4 Southeastern Conference) lost for the first time at
home during conference play. Colin Borchert scored 15 and Craig Sword 12 for
Mississippi State. Casey Prather scored 16 points, Patric Young added 12 and the
Gators used a 16-4 run early in the second half to turn a tight game into a
relatively easy victory. Florida has won 12 straight this season and four in a
row against the Bulldogs. It was the 12th time this season Florida (18-2, 7-0)
held an opponent to 60 points or fewer. "We cant always control the ball going
in the basket," Young said. "But we can control our energy on the defensive
end." And that energy was intense the entire night. Mississippi State shot a
respectable 23 of 54 (42.6 per cent) from the field, but had to work hard on
every possession. The Bulldogs briefly took a 31-30 lead early in the second
half on Gavin Wares layup, but the Gators responded with a 16-4 run. Mississippi
State couldnt muster the energy for a rally. Florida coach Billy Donovan said
the key to stopping Mississippi State was keeping them off the free throw line.
The Bulldogs had 117 combined free-throw attempts in three SEC home games this
season. They were just 1 of 6 on Thursday. "A huge key was if we could defend
them off the bounce and not foul," Donovan said. "I thought we did a good job
there." Floridas Michael Frazier II had just nine points, but his three
3-pointers helped the Gators keep a comfortable lead throughout most of the
second half. The 6-foot-4 sophomore missed his first six 3-point attempts before
the last three dropped. The Gators shot 6 of 20 (30 per cent) from 3-point range
and 8 of 19 (42.
Gary Medel

6-foot-10 freshman forward, is expected to make his college debut on Tuesday
against Missouri after being cleared by the NCAA. His arrival will give the
Gators some much needed frontcourt depth. But Young was enough on Thursday. The
powerful 6-foot-9, 240-pound senior was a consistent presence on both ends of
the court, providing timely baskets and post defence. "No disrespect to
Mississippi State, but theyre probably not going to win an SEC championship this
year," Young said. "We have an opportunity to do that, and we need to play to a
championship level." Prather went to the locker room briefly in the first half
after an ankle injury, but returned to shoot 7 of 8 from the field. His baseline
drive and dunk gave the Gators a 55-42 lead with 5 minutes left that ended any
remaining doubt. Mississippi State had an 11-1 record at Humphrey Coliseum
coming into Thursdays game and was tough once again on its home floor. Tyson
Cunningham made an off-balance 3-pointer with the shot clock winding down to
spark an 8-0 run at the end of the first half, and I.J. Readys layup a few
seconds before the buzzer pulled the Bulldogs within 27-26. Florida was coming
off a dominant defensive performance in a 67-41 victory over Tennessee on
Saturday, and the teams length and athleticism also gave the Bulldogs problems.
But the Gators couldnt hit shots -- making just 10 of 27 (37 per cent) from the
field in the first half. Nothing was easy. Young hit a couple inside buckets
early in the second half and Prathers layup at the rim gave the Gators a 42-32
advantage with 12:05 remaining. Mississippi State had a couple of good moments
in the second half, but Floridas superior depth, size and athleticism proved too
much to overcome. Ready added 10 points for the Bulldogs. "Offensively we had
our problems," Mississippi State coach Rick Ray. "I thought we had a plethora of
opportunities in the first half to finish at the rim that we just didnt get
done."
