MONTREAL -- Canada accomplished everything it hoped for Saturday at the Fed Cup. Wins by Aleksandra Wozniak and Eugenie Bouchard in World Group II action gives Canada a 2-0 lead over Serbia at Montreals Claude-Robillard Sports Complex. Bouchard beat Serbias Jovana Jaksic in straight sets 6-1, 6-0, after Wozniak beat Serbias Vesna Dolonc 7-5, 2-6, 6-4, earlier in the day. "Its what we wanted to accomplish today, and we did it," said Bouchard, who made quick work of her opponent, winning in straight sets in under an hour. "We can be happy with how today went." To win the first round tie, Canada needs just one more victory on Sunday. "The jobs not over," said Bouchard, whos ranked No. 19 on the WTA Tour. "Anything can happen. We need to be ready for them to come out swinging. Ill be ready. Hopefully we can close it out." Bouchard will play 117th-ranked Dolonc on Sunday afternoon, with Wozniak facing Jaksic afterwards. Sharon Fichman (ranked No. 112) and Gabriela Dabrowski (No. 224) will team up in doubles against Aleksandra Krunic (No. 152) and Nina Stojanovic (unranked). If, however, Bouchard beats Dolonc, Canada will win the tie, and Wozniak will not have to take to the court. Instead, the tie will culminate with the doubles contest. The winning team will have the opportunity to advance from the World Group II to the World Group, which includes the worlds eight best teams. Canada will also have the chance to avenge a 3-2 road loss to Serbia in a 2011 Group II that ultimately relegated the Canadians to a lower division. Wozniak, currently sitting at No. 274 in the world, was on that Canadian team in 2011, her last Fed Cup prior to injuring her shoulder. Wozniak played in only seven tournaments last year because of the injury, but is preparing her comeback. On Saturday, she was feeling healthy, and happy to be competing for her country. "It was a real hill to climb," said Wozniak of her recent injury trouble. "Every game will help me progress, help my game and my confidence. Im going to continue climbing to get back to the top." Down 1-5 in the first set, Wozniak made adjustments to her game and began dictating the run of play. "I stayed concentrated on every single point," said Wozniak, who started going to the net with more confidence midway through the set. "I wanted to set the pace of the game. (Dolonc) was playing well, and I was missing my shots. I held on and took it one point at a time." Wozniak won the next five games, breaking Doloncs serve twice in the process, to take a 6-5 lead. In the deciding game, Wozniak completed the comeback when Dolonc hit the net to double fault on set point. "It was a joke for me to get to 5-1," said Dolonc. "But then she started finding her game. It was getting tighter and tighter. She was feeling more confident, and I was feeling less confident." In the final set, after Dolonc handily took the second 6-2, Wozniak came to the net on match point, forcing Dolonc to miss the baseline. "Its something I want to do," said Wozniak, whos won more games (38) representing Canada at the Fed Cup than any other player. "When I have the chance, I set it up, and I want to come to the net and play aggressive. "I was extremely emotional. I really wanted to celebrate with my team. I play with a lot of emotion when I play for my country. Thats why I have so much success in Fed Cups." Facing a young Serb making her Fed Cup debut, Bouchards match was certainly less of a nail-biter. Already leading 5-1 in the first set, Bouchard fired a forehand winner out of Jaksics reach on set point. In the second set, Jaksic, ranked No. 149, couldnt do much to slow Bouchard down, winning only six points. "I was feeling a bit of pressure," said Jaksic. "I put too much on myself. I had to do too much, and in the end I didnt do anything. I was feeling so slow. My legs were like stone. I couldnt move." Bouchard, who didnt double fault and only made two unforced errors in the second set, won the match when Jaksic sent her final shot long. "She might have been intimidated," said Bouchard. "I dont know. I like to focus on my own play on the court. But I certainly hope so. That would be a good thing." The 19-year-old from Montreal created a buzz last month by reaching the semifinals at the Australian Open, the first Canadian woman to reach a Grand Slam semifinal in 20 years. But eventual tournament champion Li Na of China ended Bouchards impressive run with a straight-sets win. "I definitely have a lot more confidence now," said Bouchard. "In playing games against the best in the world, I get better every time. And thats my goal, to improve every time." Air Max 720 Australia .

Spiller returning.Coach Doug Marrone announced Monday that Spiller has been cleared to play and will be promoted to the active roster eight weeks after having surgery to repair a broken collarbone. Marrone cautioned he first wants to see how Spiller performs in practice before determining whether hell play at Oakland (2-12) on Sunday.The potential of Spiller playing boosts an 8-6 team that remains in the AFC playoff picture following a 21-13 win over Green Bay. And it comes at a time when the Bills offence could use a spark.Against Green Bay, Buffalo managed 253 yards offence and settled for four field goals. Marcus Thigpen scored the teams lone touchdown on a 75-yard punt return. Defensive end Mario Williams sealed the victory by forcing quarterback Aaron Rodgers to fumble, which was recovered in the end zone for a safety.When healthy, Spiller and co-starter Fred Jackson provided Buffalos ground game a formidable one-two punch.Hes a guy whos made plays in the past, Marrone said of the teams 2010 first-round draft pick. Any time you can bring back someone whos a potential playmaker obviously helps.Spiller has been out since landing hard on his left shoulder during a 17-16 win over Minnesota on Oct. 19. He had surgery the following day and placed on the reserve/injured designated to return list.Spiller began practicing two weeks ago. The Bills had until this week to determine whether to activate Spiller or place him on season-ending injured reserve.Spiller has been gradually increasing his weightlifting routine over the past six weeks. Spiller doesnt believe the injury will hamper his ability to carry or protect the ball in traffic.Much like the rest of the offence, the Bills running attack has had difficulty getting consisttent traction.dddddddddddd It hasnt helped that Jackson has been hampered by a left knee injury, and missed two of three games after hurting his groin against Minnesota.Buffalo hasnt had a player top 100 yards rushing this season. Overall, the offence hasnt combined for more than 120 yards rushing since a 193-yard outing in a season-opening win at Chicago.Buffalos 29 touchdowns are tied for 25th in the NFL, and the offence has scored three or more TDs in a game just three times this season.Weve got to do a better job, Marrone said. Weve got to protect better, got to run routes better, weve got to get a better rhythm.On the bright side Monday, Marrone earned the backing of team president Russ Brandon, who credited the second-year coach for having this team on the right path.With eight wins, Buffalo has assured itself of enjoying its best finish since going 9-7 in 2004.Speaking at the Bills business-based Monday Quarterback Club luncheon, Brandon said Marrone has done a tremendous job in leading the Bills through several stretches of adversity this year.The Bills dealt with the uncertainty of an ownership change after Ralph Wilson died in March. The franchise was eventually sold to NHL Buffalo Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula.Brandon reiterated his comments in a text to The AP.Doug should be a coach of the year candidate, Brandon wrote. He has been an unbelievable leader.NOTES: Starting S DaNorris Searcy is expected to practice on a limited basis this week after missing the Green Bay game with a hamstring injury. ... Backup S Duke Williams status is uncertain because he is being evaluated for a concussion he sustained against the Packers. ... Brandon was honoured at the luncheon, where he received the groups annual Ralph Wilson Distinguished Service award.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
