MONTREAL -- Venus Williams opened play in the Rogers Cup on Wednesday with a 6-3, 6-0 victory over Barbora Strycova.Playing her last event before the Rio Olympics, the 36-year-old Williams finished off the overmatched Czech player in 58 minutes. Williams was coming a loss to Britains Johanna Konta on Sunday in the final of the Bank of the West Classic in California.It was definitely more straightforward than some of our other matches, Williams said. Im never happy with my matches. Even an easy scoreline is never enough. But its about figuring out how to win instead of playing perfect.The seven-time Grand Slam champion, seeded sixth, gave up 10 points in the 24-minute second set.The only hiccup for Williams was the seventh game of the first set. Up 4-2, she had her serve broken.I just needed to stay focused, said Williams. A 4-4 is definitely different than a 5-3. But it wasnt necessarily a turning point, because there are matches where Ive been down and came back, and vice versa, so you realize that the match isnt over until its over.Williams will face Madison Keys in the third round.

The Montreal Canadiens announced on Friday that the veteran forward will return to the teams line-up on Saturday night when the Habs visit the Nashville Predators. Ireland will reject any Willie Anderson-style challenges to the Haka in Chicago, instead focusing on last-minute mental preparation.Captain Rory Best will not lead his side into the kind of nose-to-nose confrontation that Anderson produced with All Black Wayne Shelford in 1989.Irelands players linked arms before that 23-6 Dublin defeat, advancing on the All Blacks mid-Haka - yet Best insisted Joe Schmidts men treat the ceremonial war dance with full respect but as a sideshow. Because there have been a few incidents they dont allow you to go past the 10-metre line anyway, said Best.So well just line up and I think everyone will deal with it in their own way. Some people will watch it, respect it. Other people will be looking at it but in their own head theyll be rehearsing their own roles.For me it will be going through plays to make sure that when the game kicks off I am in the best possible place to win the game for Ireland. Because ultimately that is what it is all about. The Haka is a great spectacle, a great sideshow for supporters.My kids absolutely love to watch it whenever we are at home. For us as players though, its a sideshow. All that matters to us is the kick-off, the game, and all that comes after that.Still without a win in 111 yeears against New Zealand, Ireland came within a whisker of ending that hoodoo in 2013.dddddddddddd Ryan Crottys overtime try and Aaron Crudens touchline conversion snatched New Zealand a 24-22 victory, however.Former Ulster lock Anderson won 27 caps between 1984 and 1990, with that challenge to the Haka among his standout Test moments. A young Best was in the Lansdowne Road stands when Anderson and Shelford faced off amid the Haka, and admitted that moment remains imprinted on his mind.I remember Willie Anderson when they charged the Haka; it was all about blood and thunder for as long as the engine would hold out and then (they were) just gallant losers at the end, said Best.Thats not being disrespectful to those teams. The professional era has changed that. When you think of big moments like that, that day theres no doubt that Willie Anderson went out and they werent afraid of them.They were going to take the game to them. They just ultimately ran out of steam and thats something that we know now that with the way were prepared that that wont happen. Its just a question of whether mentally we can stay in the game. ' ' '
