TOKYO -- Marin Cilic and David Goffin advanced to the semifinals of the Japan Open on Friday, and they will play each other for a spot in the final.The fifth-seeded Goffin rallied to beat Joao Sousa 1-6, 7-5, 6-2, while the fourth-seeded Cilic beat injury-plagued Juan Monaco 7-5, 6-1.Goffin beat Cilic in Indian Wells early this year, and then again in a Davis Cup match for Belgium against Croatia. Those are their only two career meetings.That was when I played my best tennis this year, Goffin said. I can play fast against him and he doesnt like that, because hes a big guy and he doesnt like to run. If Im returning well, he struggles a bit.Nick Kyrgios also advanced to the semifinals, defeating Gilles Muller of Luxembourg 6-4, 6-2. He will next face second-seeded Gael Monfils. The Frenchman beat Ivo Karlovic 7-6 (6), 7-6 (6).Cilic took an early lead against Monaco in the first set, but then let the Argentine back into the match. Monaco, who has been troubled by various injuries this season, became reluctant to chase down balls in the second set, allowing Cilic to advance.I felt today I was a bit up and down with my serve and I have to get that right from the start tomorrow, Cilic said, looking ahead to Saturdays match against Goffin. Hes extremely quick around the court, plays very close to the baseline and pushes players back. Its going to be important for me to serve well and get some free points.Karlovic took every set he played at this weeks tournament to a tiebreaker, including both sets against Monfils on Friday.Its always difficult to play Ivo, there arent that many opportunities, Monfils said. A bit like today, Im going to have to be patient tomorrow.Jesse Lingard Jersey Sales .

Romelu Lukaku Jersey Long Sleeve . MORITZ, Switzerland -- Fog prevented downhill racers from getting their Olympic dress rehearsal.James Anderson only arrived in India on Tuesday night but he retains hopes of being fit to play in the second Test against India.Anderson has not played a game since August having suffered a stress fracture in his right shoulder. But, having been cleared to join the tour last week, he is now keen to prove himself in the nets over the coming days and stake a claim for selection for the Test starting in Visakhapatnam on November 17.I had a good week at Loughborough last week, bowling to get some overs under my belt, Anderson told Sky Sports. Hopefully I can keep that going this week and get some miles into my legs to make sure Im as fit as I can be and maybe be fit for the second Test.It is still over a week away so it is hard to say for sure right now. It all depends how the week goes, but Im sure in the next two or three days well have an idea of whether that is a possibility or not.At the tender age of 34 Ive got enough experience to get into match mode quite quickly. Obviously it is not always easy without having any games under my belt, but I think I am able to do that.While it remains more likely that Anderson will return to the side for the third or fourth Tests, he has been encouraged by the speed of his recent recovery.We initially thought maybe the fourth Test was a possibility, but the way Ive progressed over the last three or four weeks has been positive, Anderson said.ddddddddddddI had a stress fracture of the shoulder blades at the back of my shoulder. It was a bit weird. I think it was just workload thing. I injured the muscle against Sri Lanka in May. The stress fracture has healed now and hopefully that will last.I bowled 30 overs last week and now it is just about carrying that on and maybe upping the intensity a little bit. The rest is just standing around and getting those miles in the legs and being used to being on your feet for seven or eight hours a day.Despite being unable to take part in the first Test - Anderson was given Wednesday off and will bowl in the nets in Rajkot on Thursday - he was delighted to be at the ground to see Stuart Broad awarded a silver cap by Andrew Strauss to mark his 100th Test.I thought I was going to miss it but it is great that I got out here in time and saw him get his cap from Straussy, Anderson said. Its an amazing achievement. Hes been a fantastic bowler for years and Ive been fortunate enough to play in the majority of his Tests as well. We talk a lot about the game, we know each others game inside out and we talk a lot on the field.Weve developed a great friendship on and off the field and Im just delighted that Im here. ' ' '
