STANFORD, Calif. NFL Jerseys Supply . -- Sabine Lisicki hit the fastest record serve on the WTA tour but it wasnt enough against Ana Ivanovic in the first round of the Bank of the West Classic, while defending champion Dominika Cibulkova also lost on Tuesday. The fifth-seeded Ivanovic won 7-6 (2), 6-1, partially avenging her loss to the German in the previous meeting at Wimbledon. Experienced duo Venus Williams and Daniela Hantuchova also won. Cibulkova was beaten 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 by Garbine Muguruza of Spain. Lisicki blasted a serve of 131 mph (211 kph) at 5-5. It wasnt an ace because Ivanovic got her racket on the ball but couldnt return it. The serve eclipsed Venus Williams record of 129 mph (208 kph) in 2007. Ivanovic took full advantage of Lisickis weak second serve, winning 16 of 23 points, and though she had 10 break points against her, the Serb saved eight of them, while Lisicki was broken four times from just five opportunities. "Sometimes just a few points make a difference and it helps to be positive in a tight situation," Ivanovic said. "I did that today in the tiebreak." Ivanovic is playing her first tournament since hiring Dejan Petrovic as coach, replacing Nemanja Kontic. "It was a lot of things on and off the court," Ivanovic said of her split with Kontic following the loss to Lisicki at Wimbledon. "He helped me a lot, and sometimes these decisions are very hard." The Serbian next faces Canadian qualifier Carol Zhao, who was leading Yanina Wickmayer, 6-2, 1-0, when the Belgian retired because of a viral infection. Muguruza played pressure-free tennis to down sixth-seeded Cibulkova, with the tall Spaniard using her strong serve to good effect. "When I play someone higher in the rankings I dont feel pressure," the 28th-ranked Muguruza said. "This is a really fast court and thats good for my game." Williams beat Polish qualifier Paula Kania 6-3, 6-2, and next plays fourth-seeded Victoria Azarenka, whom she has beaten in three previous meetings. Hantuchova downed Argentinas Paula Ormaechea 6-3, 6-4 and will face Muguruza in the next round. Cheap Jerseys .

Flowers first career multi-homer game lifted Chicago to a 6-3 win over the Minnesota Twins in 10 innings on Tuesday night. Viciedo broke a 3-all tie in the 10th with a solo homer off reliever Lester Oliveros (0-1). Flowers followed with his second two-run shot of the night later in the inning as the White Sox won for just the fourth time in their last 14 games.

Jake Petricka pitched the 10th for his 11th save in 14 chances. Danny Santana lined a double just over the glove of left-fielder Michael Taylor in the second to score Eduardo Escobar and tie the game at 3.

I need to get back to attacking, attacking the zone, staying low, just being aggrressive," Milone said. Cheap China Jerseys Authentic. .

"Noesi settled down after the first couple innings," Flowers said. "Started getting better location. We were able to do a lot more." EATON EJECTED White Sox CF Adam Eaton received his first career ejection when home plate umpire Greg Gibson quietly tossed him between the sixth and seventh innings after Eaton struck out. "I had one, one-liner and maybe another line and he had enough apparently," Eaton said. "I didnt even know I got thrown out. I was grabbing my glove."
