Tokyo, Japan - Sara Erranis stay in Tokyo was a short one, as the fifth-seeded Italian was upset by New Zealand qualifier Marina Erakovic Tuesday in the first round of the Pan Pacific Open. Erakovic pulled off a surprisingly easy 6-4, 6-1 victory in the final singles match of the day at the Ariake Coliseum. Errani, the highest seed playing in the first round, was in action for the first time since a quarterfinal loss to Caroline Wozniacki at the U.S. Open. Next up for Erakovic will be Australias Casey Dellacqua, who also advanced Tuesday with a mild upset of German wild card Sabine Lisicki. Lisicki won the Hong Kong title this past weekend, but faded late on Tuesday as Dellacqua gutted out the 6-7 (5-7), 7-5, 6-2 triumph.

Louis Blues were workmanlike, methodical and -- most of all -- effective on Monday night.Eight months after Cory Schneider was traded away, goaltender Roberto Luongo finds himself in another awkward situation with the Vancouver Canucks. Luongo will not get the start when the Canucks host the Ottawa Senators in the Heritage Classic at BC Place Stadium on Sunday. "I dont want to start going through this whole thing again," said Luongo, who has yet to start for the Canucks since returning from the Olympics. "Ive always wanted to play in an outdoor game so I was excited when I saw that we got one this year. I was looking forward to it." "I believe Roberto Luongo feels this is somewhat of a slap in the face," said TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger. "Almost a year ago, he fought hard to get out of the Canucks organization and hoped for the same in the summer and that didnt materialize. You have to think this is going to amplify the hard feelings that may continue to exist between Luongo and the coaching staff and by extension, the management of the Canuucks.ddddddddddddquot; Eddie Lack, who has started both Canucks games since the Olympic break, has allowed just one goal in a shutout win over the St. Louis Blues and a shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild. "You also have to look at it from the prespective of head coach John Tortorella," added Dreger. "He doesnt care about the spectacle of the Heritage Classic, he cares about the two points on the line. Eddie Lack has been lights out good for the Canucks in the past couple of games. This is not a popular decision and I predict that this going to add to why this relationship between the player and the organization wont end well." "VAN obviously went into this eyes wide open and believes upside of Lack starting over Luongo outweighs downside of accompanying controversy," said TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie on Twitter (@TSNBobMcKenzie). "I dont believe for a moment this decision to start Lack is related to any imminent Luongo trade possibility." ' ' '
