ants to play even better against top-seeded Tomas Berdych on Sunday

BANGKOK, Thailand -- Canadas Milos Raonic is still hoping to improve even as the tennis season draws to a close. Raonic came from a set down to oust defending champion Richard Gasquet 3-6, 7-5, 6-4 on Saturday and reach the final of the Thailand Open. The hard-serving Raonic hit 23 aces and broke Gasquet once in each of the second and third sets, but wants to play even better against top-seeded Tomas Berdych on Sunday. "There are things I must do better for sure tomorrow," said the 22-year-old Raonic. "I competed well but he played better and had more opportunities in the first set." Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., recovered nicely against Gasquet after dropping the opening set with what he admitted was a less-then-perfect initial effort. The two are familiar opponents -- Gasquet beat Raonic in a tight U.S. Open fourth-round match lasting five sets and more than four and a half hours. Raonic took a 4-3 lead in the final set on Saturday as he saved a break point with his 19th ace and won the game with his 20th. Gasquet answered with a love game before Raonic broke him to earn victory two games later on the second of three match points. "The first set was not so much about me losing as it was about him playing well. He did a lot to win it and hardly made an unforced error," said Raonic. "But I kept focus on my serve, which I knew was the way I was going to turn things around." Berdych needed nearly three hours to outlast Gilles Simon of France 6-7 (5), 6-2, 7-5. Simon saved four set points in the 10th game of the first set and was down 5-3 in the tiebreaker before winning the next four points, clinching it when Berdych sent a forehand into the net. But Berdych took a 3-0 in the second and broke his opponent in the 11th game of the decider to reach his third final of the year. Raonic knows the challenge he faces in world No. 6 Berdych. "It will certainly be a tough match," said Raonic. "I think it will be about who can control points earlier and who can dictate and control the centre of the court more." If Raonic wins, it will be his fifth career title and second of the season after winning a third trophy at the now-defunct San Jose event. His other title came at Chennai, India, last season. He has 26 wins and 17 losses this season. Kyle Walker Jersey .

The three Indians who qualified for the games will compete as "independent" athletes, rather than represent their country, after their national body failed to schedule elections before the start of the Olympics on Feb. 7. The Indian Olympic Association was suspended by the IOC in December 2012 for electing tainted officials, notably secretary-general Lalit Bhanot, who spent more than 10 months in jail on corruption charges related to the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi. The International Olympic Committee said last month it would lift the suspension once new elections are held. The Indians have set their general assembly for Feb. 9, two days after the opening of the Sochi Olympics. "Following the executive board decision in December, the IOC is considering all necessary arrangements for the Indian athletes who have qualified for the Sochi Games to take part as Independent Olympic Participants under the Olympic flag," the IOC said in a stattement on Thursday.dddddddddddd The trio includes Shiva Kesavan, a 32-year-old luger who will be appearing in his fifth Winter Games. Kesavan told Indian media that not being able to compete under the national flag was "shameful and pathetic." "It is a sad and embarrassing situation that Indian sport has been put in," he said. "People around the world know about the failure of our systems and about corruption and bad governance in sports." Under pressure from the IOC, the Indian body amended its constitution last month to ban corruption-tainted officials from running for election. Had India not complied, it would have become the first country expelled from the Olympics since South Africa was kicked out more than 40 years ago. The IOC has made provisions for athletes to compete under the Olympic flag at previous games. Athletes from the former Netherlands Antilles and marathon runner Guor Marial of South Sudan competed as independents at the 2012 London Olympics. Athletes from East Timor marched under the Olympic flag at the 2000 Sydney Games.
