RIO DE JANEIRO -- Britains Tom Daley topped the Chinese in the mens 10-meter platform diving preliminaries Friday, helped by the highest-scoring dive so far in eight events at the Rio Olympics.He totaled 571.85 points, earning 103.60 for his forward 4+ somersaults in the fourth round.The Chinese were in close pursuit.Qui Bo was second with 564.75, followed by teammate Chen Aisen at 545.35. Qui earned silver four years ago in London, while Daley took bronze.Quis fourth dive earned 102.60 points, but Daley followed and bettered him.I know I can do my dives like that every single time, Daley said, so its a matter of making sure I go out and give it my all tomorrow.Defending Olympic champion David Boudia of the United States overcame a poor third dive to qualify fourth in 496.55. His legs smacked the water on a front 4+ somersaults tuck and he dropped from second to fifth after receiving the second-lowest score in the round.China is seeking its seventh diving gold of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. One more would allow the Chinese to match their total from 2008 in Beijing, when they won 7 of 8 golds on home soil.The standards were set really high after this event, so Im not surprised that someone finished above us, Chen said.The top 18 moved on to Saturday mornings semifinals, when scores dont carry over. The final is later the same night.Chen began the six-round competition in first. Then Qui took over before Daley replaced him in the top spot after three dives and held it the rest of the way.Daley received a perfect 10 for his fifth dive, a forward reverse 3+ somersaults. He predicted it would take about 585 points to win gold.Im going to have to sharpen up a few things, like the toe point, just the littlest things that the judges might think was a nine or nine and a half, he said. You want to make sure they go in there thinking, `No, that was definitely a 10.American Steele Johnson struggled on his last three dives and barely grabbed the 18th and last spot for the semifinals. He and Boudia earned silver in synchronized 10-meter in Rio.That was on my mind a lot, Johnson said. I kept saying to myself, `All these people are going to be watching me. What are they going to be thinking? Whats going to happen if I do well or if I dont do well? That was definitely an added sense of pressure that I was putting on myself that I will not come in with tomorrow.

However, the Scot broke him to love in the 12th game to win the match.Celebrating his earlier win, Djokovic tapped his hand against his heart and made a throwing gesture to all four sides of the court as if to share the moment with the crowd.Djokovic has a special bond with Paris, having won this tournament four times overall and having also clinched the French Open in June to complete his haul of all four majors.Its a real pleasure to come back to Paris after what I did at Roland Garros this year, Djokovic said. In the last few years Ive played my best tennis here.Djokovic saved the only break point he faced in the second serve and pounced at the right time.With the score 4-4 and 30-40, Muller sent down a strong serve that Djokovic returned powerfuully.dddddddddddd It seemed to surprise Muller, who whipped a forehand into the net to concede the game.The Serb sealed victory on his first match point with an ace straight down the middle.Not an easy opponent, definitely, because he serves and volleys, Djokovic said.
