Politics has no lock on the expression, October surprise. The month in tennis is chock-full of them. Things go topsy-turvy on the ATP Tour, as accumulated fatigue, an opportunistic push to bolster rankings or the decision to just tread water until the end of the season affects weekly results.The main storyline in mens tennis at the moment is that the most consistent player this fall has been the once reliably inconsistent Andy Murray. Currently ranked No. 2, hes in the midst of a hard sprint to catch No. 1 Novak Djokovic. Beyond that, the narrative is once again a colorful, unpredictable one.Its a fall brawl. Every day in late October seems like Halloween.The Kremlin Cup featured two qualifiers in the quarterfinals. Then Pablo Carreno Busta, who hadnt won an ATP title until this year, crushed Italian bad boy Fabio Fognini in the title match. Fognini hadnt won two consecutive matches this year since the Olympic Games.In Antwerp the same week, No. 77 Diego Schwartzman made the first final of his career on indoor hard courts. In the semis, he brushed aside two match points and upset top-seeded David Goffin. Schwartzman was up a break on No. 3 seed Richard Gasquet (remember when Gasquet was dubbed Baby Federer?) in the first set, but ultimately the No. 16 ranked Frenchman prevailed.I was the favorite to win, Gasquet acknowledged in his news conference afterward. So its important for me.Not everyone has taken the obligations of his station to heart this month. Dominic Thiem, ranked No. 9, has won exactly one match since Sept. 26. No. 5 Kei Nishikori, currently playing in Basel, has won just two more. Nick Kyrgios won Tokyo and inflamed hopes that hes matured and is prepared to embrace his professional obligations. Just days later, he self-immolated in Shanghai and got himself kicked out of the game.Rafael Nadal pulled the plug on his year with persistent pain in his wrist, and Djokovic was last seen smashing a racket, tearing apart his shirt and howling in outrage while being methodically beaten in the Shanghai semifinals by Roberto Bautista Agut.And say, whatever happened to Tomas Berdych?But in tennis, one mans misfortune is another mans jackpot. Never is it more true than in October. Grigor Dimitrov has made the most of the fall brawl to continue rebuilding a flagging reputation. The Baby Federer thing didnt work out any better for Dimitrov than it had for Gasquet. But Dimitrov is still just 25 and back up to No. 18 thanks partly to having made the final in Beijing and the semifinals in Stockholm.Goffin may have fumbled away an opportunity in Antwerp against Schwartzman, but the Belgian is fully aware of the opportunities offered in October. Hes gorging on fall tennis, with six events (and counting), excluding Davis Cup, since the US Open. Hes 12-6 since he was upset in the first round at Flushing Meadows by American upstart Jared Donaldson.The guy who has really cashed in this fall, though, is the big man everyone loves, hard-luck Juan Martin del Potro. October started on a bummer for him when he was beaten (as a wild card ranked No. 63) in the first-round of Shanghai by Goffin. But since then, del Potro has been on a tear. Still recovering from multiple wrist surgeries, his career all but destroyed, the 28-year-old from Argentina took a giant stride in his latest comeback with a tournament win, beating No. 23 Jack Sock in the Stockholm final last week. It was del Potros first title in 33 months and a wonderful ranking and morale-booster.After the win, he told the media, Ive been trying to fix my problems for the past two years, and I didnt expect to win a title at this moment in my career. I am so happy to get the trophy here. Its motivation for looking forward to the future.As October surprises go, that one was a beauty. And he might not be done yet. At a hulking 6-foot-6 and blessed with easy power, Delpo is built for the fall brawl. Jimmie Ward Jersey .

FRISCO, Texas -- Tony Romo participated in throwing drills at practice Wednesday for the first time since the Dallas quarterback broke a bone in his back in a preseason game at Seattle in August.The 36-year-old Romo worked in several individual drills in shorts and a T-shirt with his teammates in full pads. While he almost certainly wont play against Philadelphia on Sunday, its the biggest step in his latest return from injury.The Cowboys (5-1) have won five straight with Dak Prescott, who is set to face fellow rookie starter Carson Wentz of the Eagles.Romo was the third quarterback for each drill behind Prescott and veteran backup Mark Sanchez. Romo appeared to be throwing at full velocity, and also dropped back and threw a few passes on the run. He was listed as a non-participant on the practice report.Before practice, coach Jason Garretts answer was the same it has been for weeks now: Romo is progressing well in his rehab. Garrett made no mention of Romo joining individual drills. Romo wasnt in the locker room when it was open to reporteers.ddddddddddddWell just take it day by day, Garrett said, repeating another familiar refrain. Hes had some good days of rehab though lately.Prescott said Romos work wasnt much different than other practice days, although joining the early throwing sessions was new.Hes looked sharp every time hes out there, Prescott said. Thats a vet that takes care of himself, going to get back healthy. Hes doing all the right things to do that.Garrett has steadfastly declined to address what will happen when Romo is ready to return. The surprising Prescott, a fourth-round pick, is fifth in the NFL in passer rating at 103.9.The Cowboys, who went 1-11 last year when Romo was out with a twice-broken left collarbone, are tied with Minnesota for the best record in the NFC.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler ' ' '
