Djokovic wins again at ATP finals, reaches semis

LONDON (AP) ? Novak Djokovic stayed perfect at the ATP finals, beating Tomas Berdych 6-2, 7-6 (6) Friday and qualifying for the semifinals of the season-ending event.

Djokovic is 3-0 in Group A and will play Sunday for a spot in Monday's final. The other semifinalist from the group will be decided later Friday when Andy Murray takes on Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at the O2 Arena.

Murray, who won the U.S. Open and the OIympic gold medal, needs only to take a set against Tsonga to ensure his passage.

After reclaiming the No. 1 ranking at the beginning of the week, Djokovic had little trouble against Berdych. He broke his Czech opponent twice in the first set and once in the second, though he was broken right back on the third occasion to force the tiebreaker.

The ATP event is the last tournament of the season, featuring the top eight players in the world.

In Group B, six-time champion Roger Federer has already qualified for the semifinals and will face Juan Martin del Potro in his final group match on Saturday. David Ferrer is also in the group and can still qualify for the semifinals, but Janko Tipsarevic has been eliminated.

Berdych had his opportunities to win the second set, leading 5-1 and 6-3 in the tiebreaker, but he wasted all three of his set points as Djokovic won five straight to close out the match.

"I had some chances in the tiebreak," said Berdych, who was eliminated from the tournament with a 1-2 record. "If I would be able to make it, try to push him for the third set, then maybe get another chance. But this would be just if. It didn't happen."

Djokovic lost in the second round of the Paris Masters last week, and said he felt down physically there.

But against Berdych, the top-ranked Serb was running all over the court, retrieving ball after ball and making his opponent work hard on nearly every point.

Berdych has only beaten Djokovic once in 12 tries, and that came two years ago on grass in the Wimbledon semifinals. On hard courts, Djokovic is now 10-0 against the hard-hitting Czech.

Despite bowing out from the ATP finals, Berdych still has more tennis to play this season. He will lead the Czech Republic against Spain next week in the Davis Cup final.

"It's another week, another event, another big thing. So I will try to get ready for that again," Berdych said. "I hope that the best moment is still to come."

DC Comics coming soon to iBooks, Kindle, and Nook

DC Comics coming soon to iBooks, Kindle, and Nook

DC Comics has just announced a deal to bring their monthly content to Apple's iBooks as well as to the Kindle and Nook online stores. While DC Comics already has offerings in the App Store in the form of graphic novels via their own apps or apps like ComiXology, monthly content hasn't been available in iBooks natively, until now.

DC Comics had the following to say in an interview with TechCrunch on the move to digital subscriptions -

Hank Kanalz, DC?s senior vice president of digital, told me that he wants comics to be available on any platform where readers want to find them. He added that by integrating with the big e-bookstores, DC is allowing fans to ?watch their movies, read their prose and their comics all in one device, in one library.?

DC also stated that digital comic sales climb 197% year after year which explains why it should be a really good move for them. That isn't to say their print series aren't doing well as they saw 12% growth there as well. While DC says print is still where their main focus lies from a storytelling experience standpoint, digital is still important. They plan on releasing digital only comics just as they do print.

Anyone excited to be able to have DC Comic subscriptions straight through iBooks with all your other subscriptions or does having another app to consume them not bother you?

It is important to get the right size for bike for your child, as a bike that is too high will not let the kid have the needed control of the bike and can result in a bad fall.

Buy the bike using your child's height rather then age. Your child may be short or tall for his/her age, and the most comfortable bike will be one that fits his/her height. The age column is for reference and should only be used if you are not able to get the real height of the child you are buying the bike for.
