BERLIN - Hamburger SV needed late goals to defeat Werder Bremen 2-0 in the Bundesligas 101st northern derby on Sunday, moving above its bitter rival and out of the relegation zone.Hamburg substitute Artjoms Rudnevs broke the deadlock in the 84th minute when he reacted first and prodded the ball home from three meters after Bremen defender Assani Lukimya could only head on a long throw-in from Philipp Goetz.There was a touch of fortune about the second goal, too, which came in injury time.Pierre-Michel Lasogga, who was one of four Hamburg players through on goal, crossed for Tolgay Arslan, who struck the post from close range with the goal at his mercy. The ball rebounded in front of the goal-line past Bremen goalkeeper Raphael Wolf, who inadvertently knocked the ball in as he tried to catch it.The points are incredibly important for us, said Hamburg midfielder Rafael van der Vaart, whose side moved one point above Borussia Dortmund, now in the relegation play-off places.It had been a hard-fought battle with few scoring chances.Hamburg midfielder Mohamed Gouaida, who was promoted from the reserve side for his Bundesliga debut, tested Wolf with a stinging shot early on.Bremen midfielder Zlatko Junuzovic fired straight at Jaroslav Drobny at the other end, also in the first half.Drobny made a good save to deny Santiago Garcias header from Junuzovics cross before Rudnevs scored.Bremen finished with 10 men as Clemens Fritz earned his second yellow card in the final minute.The visitors clearly missed their injured top-scorer Franco di Santo and slumped to their first defeat under new coach Viktor Skripnik.Bottom side Stuttgart was hosting Augsburg later.

The top-ranked Spaniard won his fourth Madrid Open on Sunday after Kei Nishikori was forced to withdraw with a hip injury when trailing 2-6, 6-4, 3-0 in the final. And Nadal, who is coming off to uncharacteristic quarterfinal losses on clay, said his mental strength is still lacking just two weeks ahead of the French Open. "I was blocked. There were some moments where, I dont know, I couldnt find myself," said Nadal, whose victory guarantees he will stay No. 1 in the rankings heading into Roland Garros. "It wasnt that I didnt want to play or I was missing intensity, I was just mentally blocked." Earlier, Maria Sharapova bounced back from a poor start to defeat Simona Halep 1-6, 6-2, 6-3 to win the womens title. Nadal became the first repeat winner in Madrid but it was only his second clay-court title of the year, and third overall in 2014. Nishikoris aggressive start allowed him to jump out to a 5-1 lead as his powerful groundstrokes overwhelmed Nadal, who struggled to find an answer against his Japanese opponent. "We dont deserve the victory, (Nishikori) deserves it, he played better than us the whole time," Nadals uncle and coach Toni Nadal told Antenna 3 TV. "We had a lot of luck today. We didnt really come back, he was hurt." Nishikori broke Nadal again to start the second set to leave the Magic Box centre crowd, which included Queen Sofia, dumbfounded to find Nadal struggling so badly. Nishikori first experienced discomfort while leading 4-2 and Nadal took advantage to break back. Nishikori soon needed a medical timeout for treatment on his back and hipp, and his energy then looked sapped as he hit a shot long to concede the set.dddddddddddd Nishikori, who withdrew from next weeks tournament in Rome to recover in time for the French Open, visibly struggled in the third before eventually retiring. "It was very sad, especially (since) I was winning, playing almost best tennis in my life," said Nishikori, who will become the first Japanese player in the top-10 when the new rankings are released. "It was very tough mentally for me. But I get a lot of confidence from this tournament. "You never know what happens today if Im not hurt. I may have chance to win." Sharapova, who lost to Serena Williams in last years final, crumbled in the opening set when she held her serve just once. But Haleps serve dipped in the second set, and Sharapova started hitting pinpoint ground strokes that kept the fifth-ranked Romanian running. The ninth-ranked Russian converted both her break points in the set to even the match. Sharapova then pulled away in the deciding set with an early break to follow up her triumph in Stuttgart with a maiden title in Madrid. Since the 2011 French Open, Sharapova has a 47-3 record on clay -- with all three defeats coming to Williams. The top-ranked American was the two-time defending champion in Madrid but withdrew with a leg injury on Friday. "I dont know how I pulled it off," Sharapova said after winning her 32nd career title. "I came close last year, and I didnt have a great first set today, but I knew it wasnt over until the last point was played." Sharapova planned to continue her centre court celebration on the plane ride to the Rome Masters. "They better have some champagne for me," Sharapova said. "I need a drink." ' ' '
