SINGAPORE -- A physically spent Svetlana Kuznetsova claimed a draining 7-5, 1-6, 7-5 win over defending champion Agnieszka Radwanska in nearly 3 hours at the WTA Finals on Monday.Kuznetsova, who saved a match point on Radwanskas serve near the end, eventually prevailed on a third match point to break Radwanskas serve.At some point, I was just ready to let it go, just lay on the court and let them take me out of here, Kuznetsova told the cheering crowd. I was just trying to stay in there and hang in there.Kuznetsova was the final player to earn a berth into the eight-player, year-end championships when she defended her Moscow title Saturday.The Russian arrived in Singapore on Sunday afternoon after a grueling four weeks of chasing a spot in the WTA Finals for the first time since 2009. She played three tournaments in China ahead of taking a wild card into the Moscow tournament.In a bizarre move while trailing 1-2 and down a break in the third set, Kuznetsova took a pair of scissors to the back of her head and cut off a portion of her braid during the changeover.It was bothering me a lot, said the Russian, who asked the umpire to have scissors brought to the court. When I was hitting forehands, every time I would hit a good shot, it would hit my eye.She added: I thought, OK, whats more important now, my hair, which I can let grow, or the match?Kuznetsova broke Radwanskas serve after the impromptu haircut, but after dropping her serve again in the fifth game, she cried into her towel on the changeover.Still, trailing 2-4, Kuznetsova refused to surrender and climbed back into the set.The hair Kuznetsova chopped off remained on her chair for the remainder of the match.The drama continued in the second match, when Karolina Pliskova, who was up by a set and a break, came back from 2-5 down in the third set to defeat Garbine Muguruza 6-2, 6-7 (4), 7-5.Muguruza had one match point at 5-2, 40-30, but couldnt close down Pliskova, who won 20 of the final 24 points.Im very happy that I made it, said Pliskova, making her WTA Finals debut this week in singles and doubles. This doesnt happen every day.Kuznetsova and Pliskova stand at 1-0 in White Group action, while Radwanska and Muguruza are 0-1.

Custom Saints Jerseys .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back. TAMPA, Fla. -- Hue Jackson is looking for any edge he can get to turn the Cleveland Browns into winners.The first-year coach welcomed an opportunity to bring his team to Florida for a pair of joint practices with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week, figuring its not only helpful work leading into a preseason game between the clubs, but also could prove beneficial when the Browns visit the Sunshine State again next month.It is a little hot, it is a little humid, and Im glad that it is, Jackson said Tuesday. The hotter the better because thats the way it is going to be as we start during the (regular) season against Miami.The teams will share the practice fields at One Buccaneer Place again Wednesday, then face each other in a nationally televised exhibition Friday night.Jackson wants to gauge the Browns response to the unusual training camp routine. The Bucs already have experience with the uncommon structure after spending most of last week in Jacksonville for joint workouts before playing the Jaguars.Jackson hopes the trip will help his players bond before they play five of their first seven regular season games on the road.We are going to meet with them, obviously, but Im also going to give them a chance to be around each other a little bit more in a different setting, he said. Thats important, too, because we need to know how to handle this.Dirk Koetter, Tampa Bays first-year coach, said the Bucs are benefiting from extra work against players, as well as offensive and defensive schemes, they dont face in practice every day.Cleveland is a 3-4 defense, and were going to see like eight 3-4 teams over the course of the year, so two extra days of working against a 3-4 are huge, Koetter said.And then theyre a zoone-read team on offense.dddddddddddd. ... We need to see zone-read for down the road when we play teams like San Francisco and Seattle and Carolina, he added. Each team is a little bit different, but just playing and working against different guys is good.Tampa Bays revamped secondary, featuring free agent acquisition Brent Grimes and first-round draft pick Vernon Hargreaves III, is being tested this week by a talented group of Cleveland receivers led by Josh Gordon and Terrelle Pryor.Gordon sat out all of last season while serving a suspension for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy and figures to make his preseason debut on Friday night. He is not eligible to play in the regular season until Week 5 against the New England Patriots.Itd be great, Gordon said. Im working the kinks out here at practice and back at home in Cleveland as much as possible to get ready for it. ... Hopefully, I can pick up where we left off.Gordon said hes excited about the prospect of being part of an offense featuring him, Pryor and first-round draft pick Corey Coleman, the former Baylor receiver whos been slowed by a left hamstring injury.Meanwhile, Gordon shrugged off questions about reports that some teams have expressed interest in a potential trade but that the Browns are not interested in moving him.I really cant comment on that. Im not really sure. I havent heard too much about it, the receiver said. Cleveland is my team. That is where I want to be. ... Thats not even in the ballpark for me. Im not really sure how that works.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
