DURHAM, N.C. -- Shortly after quarterback Daniel Jones arrived on Dukes campus last year, his teammates nicknamed him the Future.For the redshirt freshman, the future is now.A season-ending injury setback to starter Thomas Sirk makes Jones the first Duke freshman QB to start an opener in 65 years when he leads the Blue Devils against North Carolina Central on Saturday night.Jones wants to make the most of the opportunity he received because of mentor was hurt.I was just heartbroken for him, being such a hard-working guy that I have so much respect for, Jones said Tuesday of Sirk. That was tough to see him go down. Hes been a great resource for me since Ive been here. ... Im excited to get out there and play.The Blue Devils are putting their offense in the hands of the soft-spoken Jones, a late addition to their 2015 recruiting class from Charlotte who figured to be headed to Princeton or another Ivy League schools before Duke eventually showed interest.At 6-foot-5, Jones is an inch taller than Sirk and while he has the frame of a pocket passer, coach David Cutcliffe said he is going to be a threat to run the football.Its a job that Daniels won right now, Cutcliffe said.Jones took most of the first-team snaps during preseason practice, and threw two touchdown passes during a late scrimmage, while Sirk -- who led the team in rushing and passing last year and was the co-MVP of the Pinstripe Bowl victory over Indiana -- worked on rehabbing the Achilles tendon he tore in February.Reps are huge things when youre playing quarterback, seeing the defense, and you need to play the game to get better at it, Jones said. That was huge for me.The question about whether Sirk would make it back for the opener was answered decisively -- but not the way Duke would prefer -- last week when he partially tore that same tendon during a practice.Now comes the latest test of Dukes next-man-up philosophy, with Jones taking over and trying to live up to the nickname he picked up last year while running the scout team. He brushed off questions about that name Tuesday with an embarrassed laugh.Hes a pretty good quarterback -- weve known that since he got here, safety DeVon Edwards said. A lot of guys called him the Future ... from the very beginning. Dan Hampton Youth Jersey . White came in fourth place in the event. He was the two-time defending gold medallist.

LONDON -- Despite losing three matches in a row for the first time since the fall of 2011, Canadian Milos Raonic isnt concerned about his recent rough patch heading into Wimbledon. "Im okay with it," Raonic said while tuning up at the All England Club. "I know I can play much better and its just a matter of a day or two from turning around." The Thornhill, Ont., native and current world No. 15 did not win a set in a third-round loss to South Africas Kevin Anderson at the French Open or in a pair of opening-round defeats the past two weeks at grass-court events in Halle, Germany, and Eastbourne, England. Raonic looks to get back on track Tuesday when he plays his first match as the No. 17 seed at Wimbledon against No. 74-ranked Carlos Berlocq, who has yet to win a match in five Wimbledon appearances. A win over the Argentine and then it would be either Igor Sijsling of the Netherlands or qualifier Alex Kuznetsov of the United States. The first seeded player for Raonic could be No. 16 Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany in the third round, possibly followed by No. 4 David Ferrer of Spain. There easily might have been more difficult draws for the 22-year-old Raonic as he plays his third Wimbledon at a time when he is getting acquainted with new coach Ivan Ljubicic, a former world No. 3 (2006). The 34-year-old Croat has only been working with him for a month since Raonic parted ways with Spains Galo Blanco after two and a half years. "These three guys hes lost to," Ljubicic said about Anderson, Gael Monfils (Halle) and Ivan Dodig (Eastbourne), "were returning his serve pretty well. If Milos doesnt get many free points on his serve, it creates a tension you really dont want to have. And grass doesnt help because hes a big (six-foot-five) guy and he needs time to swwing.dddddddddddd Thats why I think that on the (slower) clay, he will always play well, especially at Roland Garros." Raonics first Wimbledon in 2011 ended after a fateful fall in the second round that resulted in right hip surgery and three months off the tour. A year ago, he lost in the second round to American Sam Querrey. "I dont think Ive figured out what the solution is for my game on grass," Raonic said. "Im still looking for the answer. In general, I like the higher bounce on hard courts." Ljubicic wants Raonic to play more attacking, higher-risk tennis. "Looking at his game from the outside, my first reaction is you need to give no rhythm to the opponent," Ljubicic said. "Thats the best way to win matches." "Ivan is pushing on a more aggressive game-style, keeping my opponent out of rhythm whenever I have opportunities," Raonic said. "I get a little frustrated when I miss those opportunities and Im working at seeing them quicker and handling them better." Ljubicic has been impressed with Raonics volleying ability and, of course, his serve. As opposed to someone like Andy Roddick who sort of muscles the ball, Ljubicic says with Raonic its "technique that does 80 per cent of the work." He hesitates about making changes in Raonics game because they would require time. But following Wimbledon Raonic wont play until Washington right before the Rogers Cup starts in Montreal on Aug. 5. "Well have a few days off after Wimbledon," Ljubicic said, "but then were going to dig deep and work. Im not planning on taking any weeks off until the end of the season because we need to get to know each other as quickly as possible. So my commitment is 100 per cent, time-wise and energy-wise."
