Laura Robson stands one win away from the U.S. Open main draw after edging out Bulgarias Isabella Shinikova 6-4, 6-4 in the second round of qualifying.Robsons career has been derailed by injury over the last two years but her recent revival continued in New York as she battled her way to victory against the dangerous Shinikova.It means Robson has recorded seven wins on the bounce after winning an ITF event in Landisville earlier this month and she will now face either Germanys Tatjana Maria or Turkeys Ipek Soylu for a place in the first round.Robson has endured an inconsistent year against a variety of lowly-ranked opponents but, during a late match at Flushing Meadows on a sparsely attended Court 8, there were some encouraging signs for the 22-year-old, now ranked 247th in the world.I feel really healthy, quite fit, today was a long day as well as yesterday but Ive dealt with it well, Robson told the Press Association.Ive been here a couple of times before in the last rounds of qualifying and had two awful matches but to be honest, I didnt even know if I was going to play this tournament so to be where I am now feels great and Im definitely pumped for tomorrow.Lengthy rain delays throughout the evening meant the contest started under floodlights at 10 p.m. local time but that did not stop Dan Evans, the British No. 2, turning out to support in the crowd.Evans had also watched on as Robson won her opening round on Wednesday and he stayed for the whole one hour and 19 minutes, with the match ending at just before 11.30 p.m.The late matches seem to be working for me, Robson said. I cant believe Evo came back, weve got a really good group of support going. Hes like a lucky charm - although dont tell him that.Few players can match Robsons superb ball-striking from the back but Shinikova gave it a good go, regularly unleashing a rasping forehand that often caught the Briton by surprise.While the quality was high in the rallies, however, both players struggled terribly with their serve and by the end of the 20 games played, there had been a total of 14 breaks.Robson conceded six of them - three consecutively due to double faults in the second set - but her return and blistering forehand ultimately proved too strong for her opponent, who was in tears as she left the court.My serve has always been a bit iffy, its something I just learn to cope with, Robson said.She was really tough to play against because she completely ripped the ball and sometimes I didnt even see it, I just had to get a racket on it.But I knew she would also be quite inconsistent so I just had to stick with her service games and try to hold my own as well. Im really happy with the win.Robsons compatriot Tara Moore saw her hopes of reaching the main draw ended as the British number four earlier lost to Germanys Antonia Lottner.Moore cruised through the first set but an untimely rain break, lasting around 45 minutes, flipped the momentum as Lottner came back to win 1-6,6-3, 6-2.

DAmigo scored twice in regulation and added the shootout winner as the Toronto Marlies edged the San Antonio Rampage 5-4 in American Hockey League action. HOUSTON -- As the Rangers mind their loose ends in advance of the postseason, small victories take on greater significance with the American League West title all but clinched.On Monday night, the Rangers parlayed three strong performances from a trio of vital relief pitchers into a 4-3, 12-inning victory over the fading Astros.Before left-hander Jake Diekman recorded his fourth save with a perfect 12th inning, right-handers Matt Bush and Keone Kela combined to work 3 2/3 scoreless innings to help Texas (86-59) overcome the fifth blown save from closer Sam Dyson.Diekman had allowed eight consecutive batters to reach base during one recent four-game stretch. Kela was charged with a blown save on Saturday against the Angels, allowing a season-high four hits and three runs. Bush is just 1-for-4 in save opportunities. All three stepped forward when the Rangers needed them on Monday, and collectively Bush, Kela and Diekman are key cogs in Texas bullpen.I think its huge for them, Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. Obviously theyve had some minor challenges. For them to show up big for us ... thats what weve seen in the past from these guys, thats what were going to need to see from them going forward.Right-hander A.J. Griffin (7-4, 4.92 ERA) will start for Texas on Tuesday night. He has won two previous starts against the Astros this season, posting a 3.86 ERA over 11 2/3 innings. Griffin is 5-0 with a 4.54 ERA in six career starts against Houston, including a pair of victoories at Minute Maid Park.dddddddddddd His seventh start against the Astros will tie the Angels and Mariners for the most against one team in his career.The Astros (75-69), meanwhile, continue to search for answers against their in-state rivals. Houston fell to 3-14 against Texas this season and has dropped 22 of the last 27 meetings between the clubs dating back to Aug. 3, 2015. The Rangers improved to a remarkable 32-10 in one-run games on Monday night, thus their success in close contests with Houston isnt much of a shock. Of the 17 games played between the clubs this season, 13 have been decided by two runs or less.They have finished the games, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. We have battled them. These are small margins and small increments that have not gone our way. I dont know what to say. They have beat us in close games. They have beat us in blowouts. We have beat them a few times along the way. Its baseball, it happens. We have to find a way to beat them tomorrow.Right-hander Brad Peacock (0-0, 3.38 ERA) will make his fifth career start against the Rangers as the Astros attempt to even the series. Peacock is 1/3 with a 3.76 ERA over five games against Texas. Hell be facing the Rangers for the first time in 2016.Peacock is filling the rotation void left by left-hander Dallas Keuchel, who is sidelined by left shoulder inflammation.
