PARIS - Paris Saint-Germain striker Ezequiel Lavezzi scored one of the best goals of the season so far in a 1-0 win over Rennes that lifted the defending champions within one point of French league leader Lyon Friday.Lavezzis goal was the only highlight of a close battle with few chances, as PSG had just two shots on target.The Argentina forward finished off a superb collective move in the 29th minute with a left-foot shot from close range for his first league goal in more than two months.Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Javier Patore and Adrien Rabiot were all involved in the build-up with a succession of quick passes that opened the Rennes defence, before Pastore set Lavezzi up with a fine touch.PSGs fifth consecutive win in all competitions provisionally lifted the club to second place in the standings, three points above Marseille, which hosts Evian Saturday. Lyon travels to in-form Monaco on Sunday.We had up and downs tonight and we did not play well consistently, admitted defender David Luiz, whose partnership with Thiago Silva in the heart of the Parisian defence was one of the rare positives for PSG.Rennes created two good chances either side of the interval, but goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu was decisive on both occasions. He first denied Abdoulaye Doucoures fine shot from the edge of the box from Pastores miscued back pass in the 34th minute. Substitute Christian Bruls then could not make the most of some sloppy defending when he fired an angled shot that forced Sirigu to another good save with his fists in the 75th.Lavezzi has been lacking impact this season as his team failed to produce sparkling football and his goal was only his third this term. Lavezzi was banned for three matches by coach Laurent Blanc this month for missing a training camp during the Christmas break alongside Edinson Cavani. The Uruguay striker, who joined PSG for 64 million euros ($77 million) was whistled off the pitch when replaced by Lucas 20 minutes from time, seconds after failing to extend PSGs lead from Pastores powerful but mishit shot in the box.Ive heard some whistles, but Ive also heard some fans chanting his name, Blanc said. I told him he was coming off because his overall performance was not good enough, not because he missed a chance.

Tomas Berdych proved him right.Nadal, who had played only eight matches since last June coming into the Australian Open because of a right wrist injury and appendix surgery in early November, was knocked out in the quarterfinals 6-2, 6-0, 7-6 (5) on Tuesday by Berdych — who had lost 17 straight matches to the Spaniard.It is obvious that I needed something more to be more competitive, Nadal, a 14-time major winner, said. As I said when I arrived here, the process always is not easy. When you have injuries, comebacks are difficult. But without being at my top level of tennis, I was able to be here in quarterfinals. Is not a bad result at all for me.Berdych, while thankful for the win, was reminded of a quote from the late Vitas Gerulaitis after beating Jimmy Connors for the first time in 16 matches: Nobody beats Vitas Gerulaitis 17 times in a row.So no one, not even Nadal, could beat Berdych 18 times in a row?Ive heard that one already, Berdych said, smiling.The other mens semifinalists will be determined on Wednesday when top-seeded Novak Djokovic plays Milos Raonic and defending champion Stan Wawrinka takes on U.S. Open runner-up Kei Nishikori.Berdych will play sixth-seeded Andy Murray in the semis after the British player beat local hope Nick Kyrgios 6-3, 7-6 (5), 6-3. Kyrgios came back from two sets down and saved a match point in the fourth round Sunday before beating Italian Andreas Seppi, the player who eliminated Roger Federer in the third round, but there was no such comeback on Tuesday.The 19-year-old Kyrgios, who walked onto the court with his headphones on and gave two thumbs-up to the crowd, was at his crowd-pleasing best. After hitting a backhand drop shot at the net for winner in the second set, he spread out his arms for applause, and in the third set, he hit a between-the-legs shot that Murray easily returned.It was a tricky match, Murray said. I tried to start as quick as posssible because I know how dangerous Nick is.dddddddddddd Hes a huge hitter of the ball, so I tried to keep it out of his strike zone as much as possible. Thankfully it worked.Kyrgios, who beat Nadal in the fourth round at Wimbledon last year, likes Murrays chances now that both Nadal and Federer are out of the Scotsmans half of the draw.I said to him at the net, This is your time, go for it. I think hes got a really good chance of winning the whole thing, Kyrgios said.On the womens side, Maria Sharapova moved closer to another Australian Open title, defeating 20-year-old Eugenie Bouchard 6-3, 6-2.The Russian made all the big points look easy and advanced to play Ekaterina Makarova, who earlier beat third-seeded Simona Halep 6-4, 6-0.I felt pretty good from the start, didnt feel I had too many letdowns, Sharapova said, adding that her close call in the second round — facing two match points against a qualifier — sharpened her focus for the rest of the tournament.The last time Sharapova and Bouchard met — in the semifinals at the French Open last year — Bouchard won the first set before Sharapova came back to take the next two. The Russian then won the title at Roland Garros.This time, Bouchard, who made the finals of Wimbledon and two other Grand Slam semis last year, didnt come close to taking a set, looking flat from the outset while being broken in her opening service game. The Genie Army, a group of young Australian men who croon about the Canadian player, was left to sing another day.She didnt give me many chances, and against the great players you have to take any chances you can get, Bouchard said.The other womens semifinalists will be determined on Wednesday when No. 1-ranked Serena Williams plays last years finalist, Dominika Cibulkova, and Venus Williams, playing in her first Grand Slam quarterfinal in nearly five years, takes on 19-year-old American Madison Keys.If the Williams sisters play each other in the semifinals, it would be their first meeting in a Grand Slam tournament since the Wimbledon final in 2009 — won by Serena.
