TOKYO -- Juan Martin del Potro defeated Canadas Milos Raonic 7-6 (5), 7-5 for the Japan Open title on Sunday. The loss drops the Thornhill, Ont., product to 41-18 on the year, but Raonic is currently in 10th position in the battle for the eight-player season-ending Barclays ATP World Tour finals in London next month. Raonic is now 5-5 in title matches, having won his fifth ATP title at the Thailand Open in Bangkok last week. The first set lasted 54 minutes and included a rally by del Potro that bounced him back from a 0-2 deficit in the tie-break. Though Raonic put pressure on the Argentine throughout the set, he could not capitalize. Tied at 5-5 in the second set, del Potro locked in and broke Raonic to go up 6-5, then held serve to secure the 7-5 victory. After the match, Raonic congratulated his opponent and thanked the fans for showing their support throughout the tournament. Nobuo Kuroyanagi, the President of the Japan Tennis Association, then presented del Potro with the 16th tour-level trophy of his career. The 22-year-old Raonic is no stranger to the Japan Open final. He was the runner-up to Kei Nishikori in Tokyo last year. Del Potro, the 2009 U.S. Open champion, was a late addition to the tournament after Andy Murray withdrew due to a back injury. The Japan Open marks his third title of the year, adding to wins in Rotterdam and Washington.

Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca. Hi Kerry, This may sound like a silly question but Im watching Anaheim and Vancouver Monday night and during a stoppage of play, I noticed that when the linesman Brian Mach No. 78, had gone over to help Eddie Lack with a small equipment issue with his chest protector - his fight strap was undone! I thought jerseys must be "tied down" properly at all times. Does this rule not apply to goalies? Thanks for all you do - the best to ever ref the NHL!Rachel Tilton Hi Rachel: Thank you for the kudos. All players of each team must be dressed uniformly with approved design and color of their team uniform. Altered uniforms of any kind, i.e. Velcro inserts, over-sized jerseys, altered collars, etc., will not be permitted. Any player or goalkeeper not complying with this rule shall not be permitted to participate in the game. A players jersey must be "tied down" properly at all times as per rule 9.3. It is very difficult to detect if a player is not properly tied down unless he becomes involved in an altercation. The only time that a penalty applies to a player not properly tied down is if he engages in a fight and his jersey is removed compleetely off his torso, in which case a game misconduct is assessed (46.dddddddddddd3). The exception to this application is when the opponent has been identified as the instigator; a game misconduct shall not be assessed regardless as to whether or not the player (non-instigator) was properly tied down. I have seen players who do not expect to fight (typically skilled players) participate in the game without tying down their jerseys. While this makes little sense, it their prerogative as it is next to impossible for the referee to detect (goalkeeper included). Specific to goalkeepers no inserts or additions are to be added to the standard goalkeeper-cut jersey as produced by the manufacturer unless approved by the League. In addition goalkeepers are not allowed any "tying down" of the sweater at the wrists if it creates a tension across the jersey such that a "webbing effect" is created in the armpit area. No other tie downs are allowed that create a webbing effect." The length of a jersey is illegal if it covers any area between the goalkeepers legs. In short, any excessive material that would provide the goalkeeper with added coverage of his net is not permitted. Unless a goalkeeper intended to fight during the game he would likely not snap the tab on the back of pants.
