DOHA, Qatar - David Beckham is set to stay with the Los Angeles Galaxy after turning down a chance to join Paris Saint-Germain, the French club said Tuesday. Nike Air Max Mädchen . After weeks of negotiations with PSG, the 36-year-old midfielder and former England captain decided he doesnt want to move his family from the United States. "David Beckham is not coming," PSG President Nasser al-Khelaifi said at the Qatar Open tennis tournament. "We feel a little disappointed. But both sides agreed it would be better that we not do the deal ... maybe in the future." Beckhams five-year contract with the Galaxy ended after he won his first MLS Cup in November. He was wooed by several clubs across Europe. "David Beckham is (with) Los Angeles," al-Khelaifi said. "And hes going to stay there." Beckham will try to finalize a new, improved rolling one-year contract this week with the Galaxy, which was paying him an annual base salary of $6.5 million. French media had reported that Beckham would have been paid almost double that at PSG, whose Qatari owners have spent more than $100 million on players during six months in charge. Beckham and wife Victoria, a former member of the "Spice Girls," moved to California in 2007 after four years at Real Madrid. The celebrity couple now have four children and decided during a Christmas break in England that they did not want to move back to Europe permanently. "Im very proud of the time that Ive spent with the Galaxy and it might continue," Beckham stressed recently. The Galaxys recent success and the signing of Ireland captain Robbie Keane have shown Beckham that the LA club can meet his ambitions during the final years of his career, which began at Manchester United. Beckham is also a regular starter with the Galaxy, whose new season begins in March. He has expressed hope of playing for Britains football team at the London Olympics as one of three players above the age of 23. Nike Air Max 2013 Schuhe Herren Weiß .

The time off following that crash did restore his hunger for tennis. Ginepri earned just his third ATP Tour match win since that unfortunate crash about 17 months ago, easily beating Xavier Malisse 6-1, 6-2 on Tuesday night in the opening round of the SAP Open. "Im more motivated now than I have been for a long time," he said. "I see that tennis isnt such a bad thing after all. It put a lot of things in perspective the nine months I sat. Im pretty hungry to play." Ginepri played that way against Malisse, using an effective serve and strong two-handed backhand to win the match in just 56 minutes. Ginepri was once a rising star in American tennis, winning three titles and making it to No. 15 in the rankings in 2005 when he reached the U.S. Open semifinals. But he has fallen on hard times in recent years, dropping to 235th in the world after the accident. He crashed while travelling 48 km/h and trying to avoid a squirrel. He played just six matches all last season and then had to undergo another operation after the U.S. Open. He lost in qualifying for the Australian Open last month. He played two Challenger tournaments after that, reaching the final in Honolulu. He still cant completely straighten his left arm but has regained most of the strength he had lost and hopes to make it back into the top 50. "I dont think Ill ever be 100 per cent," he said. "Thats the way it goes sometimes. Im just happy to be playing again, working extremely hard to get back to this level. Im pleased with how I played tonight and hopefully I can play like this the rest of the week and the rest of the year and take it a step at a time." Malisse looked out of sorts from the start Tuesday night as he double faulted to get broken in the opening game of the match and then complained about the ball boys. He hit an overhead into the net to get broken again in the fourth game and double faulted on set point. Ginepri won 15 of the final 16 points, starting with an ace at break point when it was 2-all in the second set. He sealed it when Malisse hit a forehand into the net on match point. "Im just happy to play some tennis again and get into a little bit of a rhythm,"; Ginepri said. Nike Air Max 95 Schuhe Damen Grau Weiß Orange. "Playing a whole circuit again is going to be nice. Hopefully I can stay healthy for the whole year." Reigning champion Milos Raonic starts his title defence Wednesday. The native of Thornhill, Ont., plays Germanys Tobias Kamke in the second round. The first full day of action featured a heavy dose of Americans with seven others joining Ginepri to play their first matches of the tournament. Only one of the five Americans who played in the afternoon session advanced to the second round as Denis Kudla beat countryman Jack Sock in a matchup of 19-year-old up-and-comers. Sock beat Kudla in the U.S. Open junior final in three sets in 2010 and twice on clay in Futures events the past two years, but fell 6-4, 6-7 (6), 6-3 in this match. Sock, who teamed with John McEnroe to win a doubles exhibition on Monday night, had a short stay in the singles draw. He had his serve broken in the opening game of the match for the only break in the first set. Neither player lost serve in the second set before Sock rallied from 5-2 down in the tiebreaker to force a third set. Sock got up an early break in the third set before losing four straight games, committing two double faults in the crucial sixth game that included seven deuces. Sock lost that game with a double fault to fall behind 4-2 and failed to convert a break opportunity in the seventh game. Reigning NCAA champion Steve Johnson later lost his first-round match to Steve Darcis of Belgium, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (5). Johnson, who also lost his three previous ATP Tour matches, battled hard against the more experienced Darcis but fell just short in both tiebreakers. Johnson, 22, won the NCAA title last year at Southern California and is looking to lead the Trojans to their fourth straight team title in his senior season. He has won 43 straight college matches. In the first match of the day, American Dennis Lajola lost his ATP Tour debut to fellow qualifier Dimitar Kutrovsky of Bulgaria, 6-7 (7), 6-3, 7-6 (3). Kutrovsky next plays top-seeded Gael Monfils in the second round on Thursday. Tim Smyczek, who made it to the quarterfinals here last year, was knocked out in the first round by Gilles Muller of Luxembourg, 2-6, 7-6 (5), 6-3. In the late match, seventh-seeded Donald Young faced fellow American Michael Russell. ' ' '
