PARIS Cheap Le'Veon Bell Jersey , June 4 (Xinhua) -- Women's No. 2 seed Karolina Pliskova and No. 5 seed Elina Svitolina secured their "delayed" victories to move into last 16 at the 2017 French Open here on Sunday.


The two players' matches scheduled on Saturday were put off until Sunday due to rain late in the afternoon. Pliskova converted 6 of 8 break points in a 7-5, 6-1 victory over Carina Witthoeft, with winning percentage on first and second serve bettering that of her German opponent, also finishing a total of 34 winners.


After securing her first appearance in last 16 at Roland Garros, Pliskova, placed third on WTA world rankings, still felt that she was not at her best level.


"I don't think that I'm playing the best tennis. It's good Cheap Ben Roethlisberger Jersey , and I can still improve," Pliskova said.


"The second set was the best so far that I played in this tournament. But still there are some things that I want to improve and play better," she added.


Svitolina needed one hour and 28 minutes to seal her 6-4, 7-5 win against Magda Linette of Poland.


The 11th-seeded Caroline Wozniacki overcame the No. 8 seed Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-1, 4-6, 6-2 in a highly-anticipated round of 16 clash.


"I knew it was going to be a tough match going in. My game plan was working and kind of kept her on her toes with putting in some dropshots and mixing up the pace," said Wozniacki.


"Caroline was defending very good today and playing very deep Cheap Antonio Brown Jersey , close to the lines. I felt like I lost my chances," commented Kuznetsova, who eliminated China's Zhang Shuai in the third round.

Tiger Woods is the best golfer in the world, but Mickelson is the most exciting, and he continues to prove that every week. He also is the most stubborn cuss out there, supremely confident in his own ability while flaunting a recklessness on the course that borders on the ridiculous.

All you need to know about that is what happened on the par-5 12th hole Sunday. It was a fascinating and hilarious scene between Mickelson and his caddiecoach Jim "Bones" Mackay. NBC happened to catch it perfectly. If you saw it Cheap James Conner Jersey , you know what I'm talking about. If you didn't, you've got to hear about it.

Mickelson badly pulled his drive into and under a thick plant that looked like pampas. With no stance for a left-hander, it looked like he would have to take an unplayable lie, make a drop and take his medicine.

But not Phil. He wanted to hit the shot right-handed with an overturned 8-iron (he is right-handed in and used special right handed golf clubs, thread it through some palm trees and advance it far up the fairway.

"If I go right of that palm tree," Phil said to Mackay, pointing Cheap JuJu Smith-Schuster Jersey , "and left of that one, it's a fairly easy corridor."

This is where it got funny. Bones allows about a two-beat silence and then offers, "OK, the other option is to drop back here and play 3, and save 5 the hard way - which is what I like."

Now, very lawyer-like, Bones adds Cheap T. J. Watt Jersey , "I see what you're saying. You got to ask yourself what the penalty is going to be if it ricochets off something playing right-handed. You could legitimately hit the ball right-handed, hit the trees and go out of bounds."

Phil never looks at Bones. Obviously not swayed, and with a tone of impatience, he says, "Well ..." He's like a kid being told he can't have candy before dinner. He doesn't have a really great argument.

Then Phil goes to grab his 8-iron and says to Bones, "I've hit these shots a bunch. It's not a big deal."

As Phil addresses the ball, Bones Cheap Zach Gentry Jersey , being the complete caddie he is, has one last question: "Can you see the ball when you stand over it?"

NBC anchor Dan Hicks offers, "That's the dynamic we see so many times ... Bones with the reins on Mickelson, but he's like a horse that wants to get away."

Adds Johnny Miller, "What wins out, the thrill mentality or the voice of reason?"

The Thrill wins of course, except he also loses. Mickelson rips the shot Cheap Benny Snell Jr. Jersey , but it hits one of the palm trees Mackay warned him about. The ball drops straight down however. That shows his quality of golf equipment Lucky for Mickelson, no bad carom.

"Where did it go? Where is it?" Mickelson asks Bones. (This is where Phil is probably thinking, "Maybe I should have listened?")

Lucky that he can carve the ball around the palm on his third shot, Mickelson does so, and eventually saves an impressive bogey 6. He probably would have had the same score if he had taken the drop, but the point is that he could have also made a much bigger number because of his stubborness.

Nick Watney helped Mickelson out by also making bogey on the same hole, and that missed chance Cheap Justin Layne Jersey , among others, proved to be the difference.

Bottom line: Phil isn't going to change, nor do we want him to. He's just way too entertaining.

I can't see him ever winning a U.S. Open or another PGA playing this way, but he might get away with it to score another green jacket.

Miller had the day's best line: "I think if I caddied for Phil I'd have a shock collar for him."
