BIRMINGHAM, England -- Kimiko Date-Krumm, the 43-year-old Japanese who is the tours oldest player, halted Daniela Hantuchovas title defence on Thursday to reach the quarterfinals of the Aegon Classic, a Wimbledon warmup event. Cheap Jerseys From China . It was 18 years ago that Date-Krumm reached a Wimbledon semifinal. She proved an enduring grass-court threat by shortening the rallies, making her first serve count, and advancing at unexpected moments. The most crucial phase of her startling 6-4, 6-0 success was the 10th game, in which Hantuchova made a push to recoup the early loss of a service game. The seventh-seeded Slovak briefly re-found the ground-stroking rhythm which Date-Krumm took away, and earned one break back point for 5-5. But once that was denied her - Date-Krumm moved sharply forward and put away a smash - Hantuchovas standard fell rather limply. Not even a dispute with the umpire about a line decision got her competitive adrenaline flowing. Date-Krumms triumph followed a two-hour encounter and a lengthy doubles the previous day, and it was suggested that she must surely feel tired. "I do, of course," she said. "When I woke up my back was so tired, but I tried to move, and do some stretching. My body is different from when I reached the Wimbledon semifinal, and so is my game - but I enjoy it more." She next plays not the second-seeded Samantha Stosur, but her Australian compatriot Casey Dellacqua, whose 2-6, 6-2, 6-2 win over the former U.S. Open champion was the third in three meetings between them. Later Thursday, Aleksandra Woznaik of Blainville, Que., fell 1-6, 7-5, 6-4 to fourth seed Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium. The departure of these seeded stalwarts increased a feeling that Sloane Stephens, the second youngest player in the top 20, might take a significant step this week. The 21-year-old Stephens has never reached a WTA Tour final but her 7-6 (4), 2-6, 6-1 win over Alison Riske, a fellow American who has reached two semifinals here, carried her within two wins of achieving that. The third-seeded Stephens next plays Zhang Shuai of China. Cheap NFL Jerseys China . My seventh week of fight ready fitness had me arguing flexibility and conditioning with a few people. The comment that got me riled up was that Heavyweights run out of gas all the time. Jerseys From China . -- EJ Manuel followed the worst game of his career with the best.Madison, WI (SportsNetwork.com) - The sixth-ranked Wisconsin Badgers play their final non-conference game of the regular season on Sunday night, as they host the Buffalo Bulls at the Kohl Center.

The Bulls are in the midst of the three-game win streak, having topped the likes of Robert Morris (74-59), Drexel (80-70) and Niagara (88-62) during the run. UB has been idle since Dec. 19, and will be trying to improve to 5-2 in true road games with a victory here. Following this contest, the Bulls will play two more against non-league foes before kicking off Mid- American Conference action at Miami-Ohio on Jan. 7. Wisconsin has won 11 of its initial 12 games of the 2014-15 campaign, marking the third time under head coach Bo Ryan that the team has begun a season 11-1 or better. The Badgers, who have won 50 consecutive regular-season, non- conference games against unranked opponents, have won four in a row since suffering their lone defeat at home to Duke on Dec. 3 (78-70). UWs most recent triumph came in a 68-56 decision at California last Monday, and it will open Big Ten Conference play versus visiting Penn State on New Years Eve. This bout marks the first-ever meeting between Buffalo and Wisconsin in mens basketball. Buffalo performed well at both ends of the court in its recent win over Niagara, as the Bulls shot an even 50 percent from the field while holding the Purple Eagles to just 35.8 percent. Niagara actually shot better from 3-point range (9-of-21, .429), but UB was also on fire from distance, draining 7-of-13 tries (.538). The Bulls scored 27 points at the foul line compared to 15 for the Purple Eagles, who also turned the ball over 15 times while being battered on the boards to the tune of a 48-27 rebounding deficit.

Lamonte Bearden is close to joining the ranks as he nets 9.0 ppg, and he has combined with Evans to dish out 85 of the teams 121 assists. Ford spearheads the teams effort on the glass with 7.1 rpg, and the Bulls are allowing the opposition to connect on only 39.7 percent of their field goal attempts, which includes a 29.0 percent showing from beyond the arc. They own narrow edges in both rebounding (+2.2) and turnovers (+1.0). Nigel Hayes recorded a double-double consisting of 17 points and 13 rebounds, and Sam Dekker and Frank Kaminsky scored 14 points apiece to help lead Wisconsin to its recent win at California. The Badgers found the bottom of the net on 43.6 percent of their total shots, which included just a 3-of-11 showing from 3-point land, but they held the Golden Bears to only 38.9 percent overall efficiency. A 17-9 edge in points at the foul line helped, as did a 39-29 advantage in rebounds. Both teams took extremely good care of the basketball, turning it over only six times each. Kaminsky continues to live up to his billing at the Big Tens preseason Player of the Year, as he is averaging 15.8 points and 7.7 caroms per contest, while Hayes turns in 12.2 points and a club-best 8.1 rebounds per game.

The Badgers also own favorable margins in rebounding (+8.4) and turnovers (+4.2).
