SANTA CLARA, Calif. Cheap Jerseys . -- Frank Gore carries a heavy load every week for the 49ers and it will be more of the same when San Francisco hosts the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. "Frank is one of the best, if not the best, back in the league," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said Friday. "So, hes going to run and hes feeling good. He had a good week at practice." Gore, who gained 58 yards on 23 carries last Sunday against the Rams, and cornerback Tarell Brown took a little time off to heal nagging injuries this week -- but both insisted they will be ready for the Dolphins. "I could play right now," Gore said. "I feel all right." Gore is nursing a wrist problem, while Browns hamstring has been problematic. "Ill be fine, I just have to listen to the trainers," Brown said. "I just needed a day to let it rest." San Francisco will be trying to rebound from a 16-13 overtime loss to St. Louis. "Weve responded well," Brown said. "You never want to lose, but at the same time its part of the game. You just have to stay focused." Harbaugh said there were two ways to respond after a loss. "Youre ticked off, and when youre ticked off youre going to do one of two things: Youre going to come back and do something about it, or you go cower in the corner and shrivel up in the fetal position," he said. "I havent seen any of the latter around here. You come back, chest somebody up and lets do something about it." Wide receiver Mario Manningham remains doubtful with a shoulder injury, and several other players are listed as probable. Manninghams absence could clear the way for rookie A.J. Jenkins to make an impact. "Yes, Ive seen progress from A.J.," Harbaugh said. "Hes been on his assignments. Hes executed well when hes been out there. Hes given great effort and football rewards that effort." Gore, who went to the University of Miami, needs 28 yards rushing against the Dolphins to reach 1,000 for the sixth time. Only the Rams Steven Jackson has more 1,000-yard seasons (seven) among active players. Gore also needs one touchdown to match Roger Craig and Joe Perry (50) for most in franchise history. "Whatever it takes," Gore said. "If theres a successful play and we win, and Im part of it, Im good." Harbaugh did say the coaching staff has been talking about ways to share the load at running back. "Its part of the game plan," he said. "We have some other backs that we feel confident with." The 49ers have won nine consecutive home games in December, second only to the New England Patriots (19). The Dolphins have won the past two meetings between the teams, the last on Dec. 14, 2008, in Miami. The Dolphins also won in San Francisco in 2004. The 49ers last beat Miami at home in 2001.

MONACO -- Novak Djokovic dropped serve four times before beating Robin Haase 6-4, 6-2 to reach the Monte Carlo Masters semifinals on Friday, saying he had thought about pulling out of the event following his grandfathers death. Playing the day after his grandfather died, the top-ranked Djokovic looked distracted at times against Haase. He missed a first chance to serve out for the match at 5-1 before breaking the unseeded Dutchman for the seventh time to seal victory. The win kept Djokovic on course for a final against seven-time defending champion Rafael Nadal, who overcame a slight blip in the first set before beatingStanislas Wawrinka 7-5, 6-4 for his 40th straight win at Monte Carlo. "Today was a difficult match. Im happy about the way that I played," said Nadal, who next faces Gilles Simon of France. Djokovic had considered withdrawing before his third-round match on Thursday, which came only a few hours after hed received the bad news. "Yeah, I did. But Im a professional and life goes on," he said. "I know that I cannot change anything now. Obviously its what life gives you and takes (from) you. Its a normal circle of life. I was very close to him, so it was a big loss for me. "Anytime is the wrong time to receive that news. Today was a bit better, but still a lot of emotional ups and downs throughout the match. I got to the semifinals, which is big result for me under the circumstances." Because of his tennis commitments, Djokovic will be unable to make the funeral back home in Serbia. "No, its not possible. Its a very sensitive thing to talk about really," he said. "Every religion has a different way of proceeding, the funerals, life itself." Djokovic lost a total of 16 points on his usually rock-solid first serve, and his play was sometimes erratic. "Its tough to be able to play tennis after the way I felt and the way I still feel,," Djokovic said. Wholesale Jerseys China. "I remember him as a great man, and I know hes been supporting me and still from the heavens now." Djokovic next plays sixth-seeded Tomas Berdych, who took advantage of a wayward performance from Andy Murray to win 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-3. "Hes a threat to anybody on any surface. Big groundstrokes, powerful serve," said Djokovic, who is 8-1 overall against Berdych but has never played him on clay. "He knows what it feels like to play on the big stage. He had a great match against Andy today." Nadal followed Djokovic on to the court, broke Wawrinka immediately and then opened up a 3-1 lead. The six-time French Open champion looked in control at 40-15 in the eighth game, but some uncustomary unforced errors gave Wawrinka a chance and he broke back for 4-4. Wawrinka briefly led at 5-4 when he fought back again from 40-15 down and held with a strong second serve. Nadal won the next three games to win the set. He set up match point with a pass down the line and closed it out with an ace. Tennis great Bjorn Borg watched Nadals victory, then said on television that he considered the Spaniard the greatest player ever on clay. "Lets wait (until) I finish my career," Nadal said. "My uncle always told me that when Bjorn goes on court, everybody feels that hes unbeatable. I dont know how to explain but I dont have this feeling." The Swede won six French Opens among his 11 Grand Slam titles. Nadal has won 10 major titles. Murray had no excuses for losing, having not even completed a set in getting past Julien Benneteau while Berdych was taken to three sets by Kei Nishikori. "He played very, very well today," Murray said. "Every time I lose a match, I get asked, What did you do wrong? Sometimes the guy plays well." The ninth-seeded Simon beat No. 4 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 7-5, 6-4 in an all-French match. ' ' '
