James Tedesco was forced to wear the battle scars following his State of Origin debut but made a compelling claim for a bright representative future and an Australian jumper.The NSW fullback was among the sides best in their 18-14 dead-rubber win in game three on Wednesday night at ANZ Stadium, running for a game-high 231 metres from 24 runs.He was strong coming out of the Blues end, looked confident under the high ball and came within centimetres of scoring the winning try before being pulled down by Cooper Cronk.After calls to be included in the Blues side for several years, he didnt disappoint his legion of supporters and will come into consideration for the Kangaroos for the end-of-season Four Nations tournament.While he will do well to unseat incumbent Australian No.1 Darius Boyd, who was among Queenslands best all series, he could be an inclusion in the greater squad.Its a step above. You do those plays three or four times in NRL, youre going to get a result and Queenslands defence just holds strong throughout the whole game, Tedesco said of his first taste of representative football.Its a good opening for me and if I get the opportunity next year, Ill be better for it.Tedesco was sporting the scars of a torrid battle after being targeted all night by the Queenslanders.He was wearing an ice pack on his knee after copping a cork and was left with a busted nose and lip after being hit hard by Greg Inglis in the first half.Greg Inglis got me a bit, it was pouring out blood from my nose for a bit and my lip (was swollen) as well, Tedesco said.Thats all part of it, I guess.Tedesco blamed his corked knee as the reason for being run down by Cronk in the second-last minute after looking almost certain to score and was just pleased Michael Jennings crossed for the deciding four-pointer on the next play.I had it in my head - a winning try on debut would have been pretty special, Tedesco said.I blame the cork - I got a cork late in the second half there so Ill blame that.But Queensland, they scramble for every minute.I just wanted to get a quick play-the-ball and, to see Jenko score the winner, its pretty hard to describe - I was buggered.Terrell Owens Jersey .C. -- Rodney Hood connected from all over the court while freshman Jabari Parker was busy swatting shots and scoring in transition. Dwight Clark Jersey .C. -- After a listless first half, the Washington Wizards used a big third quarter run to beat the Charlotte Bobcats Bradley Beal scored 21 points and the Wizards used a 17-0 run in the third quarter to take control of what had been a close game and beat the Bobcats 97-83 on Tuesday night. http://www.cheap49ersjerseysauthentic.com/ . -- The Missouri Tigers might not have a roster full of superstars. 49ers Jerseys China Cheap . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Colin Kaepernick Jersey . -- Peyton Manning will have all of his wide receivers available for the first time in a month when the Denver Broncos begin their playoff run Jan.NEW YORK -- When the U.S. Open decided to give 2009 champion Juan Martin del Potro a wild-card invitation this year, it rankled American player Steve Johnson.What if, Johnson wondered aloud, del Potro was to wind up beating someone from the United States in the first round of the countrys Grand Slam tournament?That didnt come to pass: del Potro faced a fellow Argentine in his opening match at Flushing Meadows. As it happens, though, del Potros opponent in the second round in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Thursday night will be -- yes, you guessed it -- Johnson himself.As it is, Johnson barely made it to this intriguing matchup.In the first round on Tuesday, the 19th-seeded Johnson, who won two NCAA singles titles at Southern California, dropped the opening two sets and needed to save six match points before coming all the way back to beat Evgeny Donskoy 4-6, 1-6, 7-6 (2), 6-3, 6-3. Johnson saved four match points while trailing 5-2 in the third set, then two more while down 6-5 in that set.Afterward, Johnson acknowledged that he came out tight in that match because he felt the pressure of being an American playing in the U.S. Open.I shouldnt let the moment get the best of me, he said, and it did for a bit.Del Potro had a much easier time in his opening match, beating countryman Diego Schwartzman 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 (3).A little more than two weeks ago, fresh off earning a silver medal at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, del Potro was awarded his wild card, allowing him into the main draw of the U.S. Open for the first time since 2013. He missed 2 1/2 years worth of major tournaments because of three operations on his left wrist, only returning to Grand Slam action at Wimbledon in June.Once ranked as high as No. 4, he is currently at No. 142 because of so much time away from the tour, and he wasnt high enough to gain direct entry into the field at Flushing Meadows.The worst part of my life is totally in the past, del Potro said, and Im living a good present andd looking forward for a good future.ddddddddddddHere is what else to watch on Day 4 of the U.S. Open:WILLIAMS SISTERS: Both Williams sisters will be in action, in consecutive matches on Ashe. First, No. 6-seeded Venus Williams will take on Julia Goerges of Germany in the last day session match in the main stadium. Then No. 1 Serena Williams will face Vania King in an all-American matchup to start the night session. The siblings are coming off quite contrasting first-round outings on Tuesday. Venus labored during a three-set victory. Serena, who came to the U.S. Open with questions about a sore right shoulder, looked perfectly fine during her straight-set win, pounding serves at up to 121 mph, including 12 aces. Serena is bidding for a 23rd Grand Slam singles title -- that would break a tie with Steffi Graf for the most in the Open era, which dates to 1968.MURRAY: Three-time major champion and two-time Olympic singles gold medalist Andy Murray faces Marcel Granollers in the afternoon. Theyve played seven previous times, with Murray winning six. Murray, who won his first Grand Slam title at the U.S. Open in 2012, can become only the fourth man in the Open era to reach the final of each major tournament in a season, joining Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rod Laver. Murray lost to Djokovic at the Australian Open in January, and the French Open in June, then won Wimbledon in July.FORECAST: There is rain predicted for Thursday, which used to create major scheduling headaches at the U.S. Open, but shouldnt be as much of a problem now. Thats because the tournament finally has a retractable roof atop Ashe -- and the $150 million structure passed its first test, used during a match for the first time Wednesday night as Rafael Nadal beat Andreas Seppi.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrichCheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Cheap NBA Jerseys Wholesale NHL Jeppi.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitteale Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
