Hes just set the bar so high that this now this is a real test, Cowan said. Djokovic denies temper issue Novak Djokovic denies temper problem after hitting ball into crowd at ATP World Tour Finals But if he comes through this - and Im seeing encouraging signs more now in Paris and here - it will only make him stronger.Giong back to the incident in the first set, yes, it was a mistake and he was lucky, but the important thing is to try and move on. He did get a lucky break because if he had hit someone then it probably would have been a default, but he channelled it in the right way.Barry Millns admits it could have got very ugly for the second seed had he hit a spectator.Hes passionate and he cares deeply about his tennis, said the Sky Sports commentator. Weve also seen it here before where hes reacted very emotionally to a situation. It could have got very ugly for him because had he hit a spectator with that ball he hit off the court, well there are things in the rules that say what happens next.

MINNEAPOLIS -- A long night could have been a lot shorter for the Cleveland Indians were it not for some mistakes in the field and missed opportunities at the plate.The Indians committed three errors and went 3 for 14 with runners in scoring position during a rain-delayed 5-4 loss to the Minnesota Twins in 11 innings Saturday.An error by Carlos Santana at first base gave the Twins a run in the seventh inning, and catcher Yan Gomes couldnt handle Joe Colons frantic throw home in the 11th, allowing Joe Mauer to score the winning run from third in the early-morning hours Sunday.When we lose, every loss is tough, Indians manager Terry Francona said. I mean, I dont differentiate them -- besides it being late. Every loss is not fun. We didnt show up to lose.The teams played into the top of the 11th before crew chief Larry Vanover called for the tarp as the rain grew heavier. The game was delayed 2 hours, 5 minutes.Colon (0-1) walked Mauer and gave up a long double to Miguel Sano, then intentionally walked Brian Dozier to load the bases with one out.Max Kepler followed with a comebacker, and Colon reached behind his back and just got a piece of his glove on the ball to knock it down. He scrambled to pick up the ball and throw home, but Gomes let it get by him as Mauer slid home.Gomes was charged with an error on the play.It looked to me like Gomer didnt look it into the glove, Francona said. I didnt think we had a play at first, and instead of taking an out, like a first baseman, just kind of short-armed it a little bit.Santana had three hits to extend his hitting streak to a career-high 13 games. He also drove in two runs.Jason Kipnis added two hits and Erik Gonzalez made his major league debut when he pinch-hit in the eighth inning.But the Indians had runners on second and third with one out in the seventh and came up empty. They also had the potential go-ahead run on third base with one out in the 10th but couldnt get him home.Its a tough loss, but weve got to get back out here early and keep going and try to win this series, Mike Napoli said.SCARY MOMENTThe game stopped for several minutes in the seventh when a young boy sitting just to the right of the Indians dugout was hit in the head by a line drivee off Napolis bat. DeForest Buckner Super Bowl Jersey. Napoli and the rest of the players on the field looked on with concern, but the boy appeared to be in decent shape as the man he was with carried him up the aisle and to the concourse.The boy grabbed his hat and put it back on his head and appeared to be alert and looking around as they exited the seating area.Its a scary thing and when I saw it was a little kid, I wasnt even thinking about baseball, Napoli said. I was just hoping he was all right. Hopefully I can find out his name and see if hes all right and maybe take care of him a little bit.EXORCISING THE DEMONSGomes has gone hitless in his last nine games and is in a 1-for-35 slump. After he went 0 for 4 on Friday night, the Indians conducted an exorcism in the clubhouse, complete with the sacrificing of a store-bought chicken in an effort to get him back on track.The Baseball Gods and Jobu have been very unkind to one of our own, Kipnis wrote on Instagram before posting three videos of the ceremony. So we offer up this ceremony and these sacrifices as peace offerings and gifts! May the hits be plenty!! Roll Tribe!!!Gomes did not start on Saturday, but went 0 for 2 after being inserted as a pinch-hitter in the ninth.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: After playing Friday night in his rehab assignment, OF Michael Brantley was given the day off Saturday.
