NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Flavia Pennetta of Italy beat Klara Koukalova of the Czech Republic 6-1, 6-3 on Sunday in the first round of the Connecticut Open. The sixth-seeded Pennetta used two straight aces to clinch the win. "She fights until the last point," Pennetta said. "I went for the last points on my serve. I did not want to get into a rally." Pennetta, who had to go through qualifying for this tournament last year, won the first four games against Koukalova. "I tried to be aggressive and stay close to the baseline," Pennetta said. "Shes a really good player. Sometimes it looks as though shes not trying, but thats the way she plays. You never know what shes going to do." Pennetta will meet American Alison Riske in the second round. The two have never played one another. Riske beat Casey Dellacqua of Australia 6-1, 6-4 in her first-round match. Dellacqua broke Riskes serve in the first game, but the 43rd-ranked Riske won the next six games to clinch the first set. At 4-4 in the second set, Riske broke the 30th-ranked Dellacquas serve then closed out the match. Camila Giorgi of Italy won 6-3, 6-1 over American Coco Vandeweghe. Giorgi fell behind 3-1 in the first set, but rallied to win the next five games. Giorgi had four aces and only one double-fault in needing just 24 minutes to win the second set. Ekaterina Makarova of Russia beat Roberta Vinci of Italy 6-3, 6-3. The 18th-ranked Makarova has reached the semifinals of her last two tournaments in Washington and Montreal.

Last July, F1 teams held in-season testing sessions at Silverstone to assess new tires provided by Pirelli after several blowouts on the same circuit at the British Grand Prix in June prompted a furious response from drivers and even a boycott threat the following week.BUFFALO, N.Y. - Sabres prospect centre Mikhail Grigorenko didnt make the NHL cut to start this season.Grigorenko and forward Zac Dalpe were both assigned to Buffalos American Hockey League affiliate in Rochester on Monday. The moves were made three days before Buffalo opens the season hosting Columbus.For Grigorenko, the demotion represents the latest setback for Buffalos 2012 first-round draft pick after he had a goal and an assist in five games this preseason.At least, Grigorenko gets the opportunity to develop at the professional level after spending the previous two seasons bouncing between Buffalo, the Russian junior national team and his Quebec Major Junior Hockey League team in Quebec City.Grigorenko has three goals and five assists in 43 career games with Buffalo. He had started each of the past two seasons with the Sabres before being demoted both times.In January, the Russian-born player grew so frustrated with his role in Buffalo that he briefly balked at reporting to Quebec City. GGrigorenko eventually accepted the demotion a few days later.ddddddddddddhough the Sabres would have preferred to send Grigorenko to the AHL, they were handcuffed from doing so because, at 19, he was still eligible to play in the Canadian junior league.Thats not the case this year for the 20-year-old, who finished last season in Rochester, and is entering the final year of his three-year contract.Dalpe, who was signed to a one-year contract in free agency this summer, must first clear waivers before reporting to the AHL.The Sabres have one more move to make before establishing their 23-player roster by the NHLs deadline Tuesday.Rookie 18-year-old centre Sam Reinhart remains on the roster. He was selected No. 2 in the NHL draft in June.The Sabres are also carrying 19-year-old defencemen Rasmus Ristolainen and Nikita Zadorov, who were both 2013 first-round draft picks. Zadorov still has Canadian junior eligibility, and can only be demoted to London, of the Ontario Hockey League.
