Fuelled by a drought-breaking clean sheet, goalkeeper Paul Izzo is set on helping Central Coast claim back-to-back A-League wins for the first time in nearly 1000 days.The Mariners are saying goodbye to one unwanted statistic at a time under new coach Paul Okon.Last Thursdays 2-0 upset of Perth put an end to 36 games without a clean sheet and sealed the clubs first home win since New Years Eve.Having experienced first-hand the disappointment of conceding 70 goals last season, Izzo was relieved to finally give commentators something to talk about other than his sides leaky defence.Its great to finally get the monkey off the back, but more importantly we won the game which is the bigger picture, the 21-year-old gloveman said.Its a sign of how things are changing around here, the style weve got going on now is completely different.It would have been extremely disappointing if wed conceded and only won 2-1.That triumph lifted Paul Okons charges into sixth spot, one ahead of Saturdays opponents Western Sydney.The challenge now is going one better than their 1-1 draw with Tony Popovics side five weeks ago.Do that and the Mariners will taste successive victories for the first time since April 2014.It would be a great way to make a statement and maintain our spot in the top six, Izzo said.But we dont want to look too much into the ladder at this stage of the season, we just want to focus on our style and keep trying to perfect the way we play.Meanwhile, the club have released teenage goalkeeper Tom Heward-Belle from his contract effective immediately.The 19-year-old, who was third choice behind Izzo and Ivan Necevski, requested a release to spend more time in Sydney focusing on university.Heward-Belle made three appearances for the Mariners, including an impromptu A-League debut on Boxing Day last year when he was thrown into the mix following Izzos red card in the 4-1 loss to Sydney FC.

TORONTO -- Top-ranked Novak Djokovic survived a scare to beat unseeded?Gilles Muller 7-5, 7-6 (3) on Wednesday in the Rogers Cup, his final event before the Rio Olympics.I actually think that Toronto is a great way for me to prepare for the Olympic Games and whats coming up after that, Djokovic said. But also, you know, I enjoy my time in this tournament that I always love playing.Djokovic noted that he had extra time off after falling in the third round at Wimbledon. The Rogers Cup rotates between Toronto and Montreal, with the women playing in Montreal this week.I enjoy Canada, both cities, Toronto and Montreal, and the past results in history show that I have a good time on Canadian soil, so I try to get the best out of it, said Djokovic, the tournament winner in 2007, 2011 and 2012.Djokovic struggled against Muller in his first hard-court match since March, with his serves and his short game. Ultimately, unforced errors were Mullers undoing, with bboth sets easily in reach.ddddddddddddGilles Muller is a very difficult player to play against in quick conditions, Djokovic said. He takes away the time of the opponent. He serves and volleys second serve a lot, as well, which hes one of the rare guys that does that. He likes to play quick, and I think the warm day like today played a lot in his favor.Djokovic will face qualifier Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic in the third round.Third-seeded Kei Nishikori of Japan downed American Dennis Novikov 6-4, 7-5; and fourth-seeded Milos Raonic of Canada beat Taiwans Yen-Hsun Lu 6-3, 6-3.American qualifier Ryan Harrison outlasted ninth-seeded countryman John Isner 7-6 (3), 6-7 (4), 6-4, and 10th-seeded Gael Monfils of France topped Canadas Vasek Pospisil, Canada, 7-6 (6), 6-0. Monfils won the Citi Open on Sunday in Washington. ' ' '
