championship hopes than the ongoing competition between Greyson Lambert and Jaco

Soon-to-be-Sir Andy Murray appears to be on his way to a coronation in London -- or, at the very least, knighthood. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Rodney-Mcleod-Jersey/ .He has won 20 consecutive matches, has snatched the No. 1 ranking from Novak Djokovic and is bidding to run away and hide at these Barclays ATP World Tour Finals.Still, history -- and this is a sprawling city with more than most -- suggests there could be some drama in the offing. For instance, Murray has qualified for this year-end event nine times but has never won it. And consider that Wednesdays round-robin opponent, Kei Nishikori, poses a serious threat. Two of their three matches this year went the maximum five sets, with Nishikori taking the most recent, in the quarterfinals of the US Open.This match can be seen on ESPN3 at 9 a.m. ET.?The 26-year-old from Japan, who could conceivably finish the year at a career-high No. 3, wrecked US Open champion Stan Wawrinka 6-2, 6-3 in the first round-robin match, which clearly caught Murrays attention.I didnt see the match, but he obviously must have played very well, Murray said in his news conference after defeating Marin Cilic by a similar count. To win against a player like Stan with that score line; I dont think Stan had really any chances on Keis serve, either.I would say this is probably his best year that hes had on the tour. Hes one of the best players in the world. Hes been playing very well the last few months especially.This, of course, Murray knows firsthand. He also understands that the winner will be 2-0 in round-robin play and in a commanding position to advance to Saturdays semifinals.Murray won the first two meetings earlier this year, prevailing in a five-setter in Davis Cup play and, more recently, at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, winning a semifinal tilt more comfortably, 6-1, 6-4.I had a tough loss in Rio, Nishikori admitted. But US Open and Davis Cup, we played some good matches. I feel more chance to win the match against Andy. Yeah, for sure I have to play well and play 100 percent to beat Andy. This [Wawrinka] match will help, for sure, for next match.Before the Olympics, Nishikori also beat Wawrinka in the semifinals at Toronto, ending a run of 0-for-16 against top-five opponents. They ran into each other again in the US Open semifinals, with eventual champion Wawrinka getting the better of him.The London loss, though, puts Wawrinka in a difficult spot when he faces Cilic in the evening match (3 p.m. ET on WatchESPN). Theyre both 0-1, and the loser is in deep, deep trouble.I was expecting a good match, Wawrinka said of his meeting with Nishikori. Didnt happen today. Not the first time that I lose the first match here. Last year, I lost against Rafa, really bad match.Im sure I still have something inside me to play some great tennis before the end of the year, so Im going to try everything for that in the next match.While Wawrinka will finish the year as the top-ranked Swiss player for the first time, you have to feel for him. In three previous appearances in London, he was 6-6 -- with two losses each against Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. With the latter two sitting this one out and Djokovic in the other group, Wawrinka seemed to have a reasonable path to reach the semifinals.Cilic, meanwhile, needs to quickly ramp up his game. The 28-year-old from Croatia immediately forced two break points in his first match against Murray but lost the opening game -- and his subsequent serve.Obviously [its] tougher to start straightaway with matches like these against the best guys. Im not so used to it, Cilic said afterward. Thats something I guess quite new for me. Most of the tournaments Im playing them third, fourth round at least.Cilic is 0-4 in year-end play after going 0-3 in his 2014 debut. Both he and Wawrinka are US Open champions, but one of them could be looking at the end of his season. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Trey-Burton-Jersey/ .C. -- Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Bobcats got off to a fast start, and the Sacramento Kings were never quite able to catch up. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Patrick-Robinson-Jersey/ . In taking its goal tally to 99 in all competitions already this season, City delivered another demonstration of its lethal firepower at Etihad Stadium to set up a fourth-round match at home to another second-tier team -- Watford. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Darren-Sproles-Jersey/ . McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football. On Saturday, it was fitting that Manchester Uniteds most recent dagger into the chest was delivered by Frenchman Yohan Cabaye, a wonderfully gifted central midfielder who put on an outstanding effort for Newcastle at Old Trafford. ATHENS, Ga. -- Nick Chubb looked as strong and durable as ever.Optimism is soaring at No. 18 Georgia about its running game -- and not only because of Chubb, but all the backfield help for the tailback looming on the horizon has the staff beaming.Chubb made a remarkable return only 10 months after tearing three ligaments in his left knee as he had 32 carries for 222 yards and two touchdowns in the Bulldogs 33-24 opening win over No. 22 North Carolina on Saturday.He showed power, speed and endurance in his impressive return from last seasons gruesome injury. His 32nd carry was a 55-yard touchdown run.Though Chubb was not available for interviews on Monday, compliments from his teammates were still flowing even as coach Kirby Smart attempted to shift the attention to this weeks game against Nicholls.To come back from that type of injury and to hit the ground running like that and have that many yards and that much success in one game is just amazing, said cornerback Maurice Smith.Added fullback Christian Payne: Hes a freak. He has tons of God-given ability. Hes blessed. I knew when he got hurt he would come back even stronger. ... I couldnt be more proud of him.Chubbs big game may have been only an indicator of more to come from Georgias running game.Sony Michel, who ran for 1,161 yards last season, most coming after Chubbs injury, was held out against North Carolina while he recovers from a broken left forearm. Michel ran so well in pregame warmups that Smart noted after the game the junior was tearing it up.Meanwhile, freshman Brian Herrien flashed his speed on his 19-yard touchdown run. Another freshman, Elijah Holyfield, the son of former boxing champion Evander Holyfield, was held out with an ankle injury. Senior Brendan Douglas ran for 23 yards on three carries.Smart said Monday Holyfield almost was cleared to play against North Carolina and will receive more practice reps this weekk in anticipation of playing against Nicholls (0-0). http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Brian-Dawkins-Jersey/. Michel appears ready as soon as he receives clearance from his doctor.As tailback depth grows for Georgia (1-0), its possible that 30-carry games for Chubb will become a rarity.Smart said his plan for sharing carries could change each week.Well go with the hot hand, whoever that is and what style defense theyre playing, Smart said, adding You just cant become predictable. Thats going to change game by game and how those kids practice during the week.Smith, the Alabama transfer, said Michel and Holyfield will make the offense stronger.I think once they get back well definitely have a stronger running game, Smith said.Chubb used hard work to remain ahead of schedule throughout his recovery. Still, it would have been difficult to predict 32 carries in his first game since the injury.Smart gave credit to Chubbs weight-room work with director of strength and conditioning Scott Sinclair, improving in his bench press and squat.He feels much more conditioned and stronger as a running back, Smart said. It was evident that he was able to run through some tackles in the fourth quarter because hes such a powerful low body guy.Chubbs re-emergence was perhaps more important to Georgias championship hopes than the ongoing competition between Greyson Lambert and Jacob Eason for the starting job at quarterback. Lambert started in the opener but shared time with Eason, the freshman.Smart said he will continue to give reps to both quarterbacks in practice and make a decision as to what were going to do, whether its later in the week, or game time.NOTE: Smart said LG Isaiah Wynn, who left Saturdays game with a leg injury, would be back for Mondays practice.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Cheap Hoodies From China Discount NFL Shirts Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale China Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Fast Shipping China Jerseys Stitched Jerseys ' ' '
