Lance Franklin has ex-club Hawthorn on notice, but its the Hawks flexible forwards thatll keep Sydney on high alert when they duel for the AFLs top spot. David Perron Jersey .The second-placed Swans will rely on their league-best defence to combat the reigning triple premiers at the SCG on Thursday night.Key in who triumphs in the latest chapter of this fierce rivalry will be how well the hosts contain flying small forwards Paul Puopolo, Luke Breust and Cyril Rioli.The Swans have conceded the fewest points against in the competition thanks to their knack for reducing scores from the turnover.But defence coach Henry Playfair said the Hawks adaptability up front presented Sydneys defensive set-up with a specific challenge.With Breust, Rioli, Puopolo, theyre dangerous anywhere up the ground and deep, and they mix it up a lot, Playfair told AAP.(Jack) Gunston as well, whos that medium-sized or taller target they kick to a fair bit.The fact that theyre so flexible makes them quite dangerous, and makes it hard for your defence to get set.So well have to be on our toes and ready for anything, because they keep the ball alive as well which is the other unpredictable part.Nick Smith will spend time on Rioli, as he did when the Swans beat Hawthorn seven rounds ago.But like many battles, hell be a shared responsibility.Well have to be open because Rioli goes in the middle and gets up high up the ground, Playfair said.Hes really found some form and is back to his dangerous best which is really hard to handle.Sydney are high on confidence after last weekends away win over Geelong.Assistant coach Stuart Dew said it was crucial to maintain momentum in the business end of the season.We need to consolidate it and knock off a top team, Dew said.Theyre the best team in the comp so we expect a physical game.Jeremy Laidler wont take part after suffering a hamstring injury playing in the NEAFL last weekend.

It was just business as usual for the Thunder at home. Durant scored 32 points and the Thunder beat the Bulls 107-95 on Thursday night for their eighth straight win. ESPN looks at the highs and lows of Nico Rosbergs title-winning campaign after he secured a maiden championship title in dramatic circumstances in Abu Dhabi.?A perfect startThough he lost the 2015 world title to Lewis Hamilton, Rosberg finished that campaign on a high -- claiming victories in Mexico, Brazil and Abu Dhabi after losing out on the championship in Austin. Regardless of whether Hamilton had lost focus after a third title, it meant Rosberg went into the winter on a high -- a stark contrast to 2014, when Hamilton beat him to six of the final seven races on route to the championship.He beat the sluggish Lewis Hamilton off the line at the Australian Grand Prix and recovered from a good Ferrari start to win. Rosberg won again in Bahrain as Hamilton was hit at Turn 1 by another car, before power unit issues for his teammate during qualifying in China and Russia gave the German a routine run to victory. It meant he had won seven in a row and held a 43-point lead going to Spain.He looked well-placed for an eighth in a row when he beat Hamilton into Turn 1 at the Spanish Grand Prix, only to enter an incorrect engine mode several corners later. The speed differential coming out of Turn 4 let Hamilton get alongside him -- the pair collided and crashed out of the race. Like their collision in Belgium two years earlier, it proved to be a momentum shifter.Standings after Spain: Rosberg - 100 Raikkonen - 61 Hamilton - 57InconsistencyRosberg out-qualified Hamilton in Monaco but endured a baffling downturn in form, struggling monumentally in the rain. He struggled for pace so much Mercedes asked him to move over for Hamilton, who eventually won after Red Bull botched a pit-stop for Daniel Ricciardo. Rosberg could only finish seventh at his home race, being overtaken at the final corner by Nico Hulkenberg.Rosbergs struggles continued into Canada, where he was forced wide at Turn 1 by Hamilton and then laboured to fifth position, spinning late on while trying to pass Max Verstappen. A Hamilton mistake during qualifying in Baku saw Rosberg take pole and waltz to victory, helping him regain a vital 15 points on his teammate, who could finish no higher than fifth. It would be Rosbergs last victory until after the summer break. Though Hamilton would suffer reliability issues later on in the season, those 15 points lost in Baku turned out to be pivotal. ?Standings after Azerbaijan:?Rosberg - 141 Hamilton - 117 Vettel - 96A difficult JulyHamilton would be the in-form Mercedes man in July, winning all four of the months races. It could have been so different for Rosberg, who recovered from a poor start at the first of them, in Austria, to lead the race. After being jumped through strategy, Hamilton closed on Rosberg late in the race. Under pressure, Rosberg made a mistake at Turn 1 on the final lap, letting Hamilton get alongside him. Rosberg, on the inside, went straight on, and the pair collided. Rosberg came off worse, sustaining damage and dropping to fourth, as Hamilton nursed his car home for a win.Hamilton arrived in Britain a rejuvenated man and, after a Safety Car start, led away comfortably. Rosberg fell victim to a phenomenal Max Verstappen overtake and, though he eventually re-passed the Dutch teenager, was demoted to third post-race after receiving banned radio messages. Hamilton took the championship lead in Hungary, winning a Mercedes one-two, before Rosberg had a sluggish getaway from pole in Germany. Rosberg, who clumsily collided with Verstappen during the race, had to settle for fourth and went into the summer break wondering how to turn the momentum back in his favour.Championship standings after Germany: Hamilton - 217 Rosberg - 198A gamechanger in BelgiumHamiltons engine problems from the start of the season had left him thin on available power units for the rest of the year. Mercedes made a tactical double switch during the Belgian Grand Prix, giving him a hefty grid penalty but adding several fresh units to his pool for the rest of the season. Rosberg won from pole, with Hamilton having to settle for third position. Hamilton then took pole in Italy, but another sluggish start saw Rosberg lead into Turn 1 at the most power-deppendent circuit on the calendar. Tomas Nosek Jersey. Hamilton fought back to second but it was a second straight win for Rosberg.A third in a row followed in Singapore, arguably Rosbergs crowning glory from the season. A dominant weekend saw him take pole and a commanding win as Hamilton laboured to third, giving Rosberg an eight-point championship lead heading to the Malaysian Grand Prix.Standings after Singapore:? Rosberg - 273 Hamilton - 265Drama in Malaysia?Hamilton needed a win in Sepang and looked to be on the verge of claiming one, leading away from pole as Rosberg got spun around at Turn 1, forcing a fight through the field. It seemed like it was the moment that would turn the title battle on its head, but that moment would actually follow late in the race: Hamiltons engine failing in a ball of flames, giving Red Bull a one-two. Rosberg came home to third position, extending his lead to 23 points.That gap grew again in Japan as Rosberg led away from pole and Hamilton started slowly. Hamilton was forced into recovery mode and had to settle for third, meaning Rosberg entered the final four races of the season leading by a huge 33 points.Championship standings after Japan:? Rosberg - 313 Hamilton - 280Hamilton hits backHamilton headed into back-to-back races in the United States and Mexico knowing that he needed to win all four remaining races and hope that Rosberg hit some kind of trouble in order to have any chance of clinching a fourth title. Hamilton responded exactly as he needed to, winning both races from pole position to keep his championship hopes alive. The only bad news for Hamilton was that after comfortably beating his teammate in qualifying and the race at Austin and Mexico, Rosberg did enough to secure two second place finishes, reducing Hamiltons already slimming title chances in the process.?After a Virtual Safety Car spared him having to fight with Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo over second place in the United States, Rosberg avoided serious damage at Turn 1 in Mexico as Verstappen ran wide and clouted the Germans Mercedes. The Dutchman then failed to pull off an overtake on Rosberg in the closing stages, allowing Rosberg to coast to an all-important second. On a pair of weekends where Hamilton badly needed some bad luck to thwart Rosberg, the German left Mexico still firmly in the box seat for a maiden title with a handy 19-point lead.?Championship standings after Mexico: Rosberg - 349 Hamilton - 330Rosberg weathers the storm?Lewis Hamiltons momentum stayed with him in Brazil as he claimed pole position at Interlagos, with Rosberg happy to settle for second alongside his teammate. Heavy rain on race day changed everything and after several red flags, safety cars and race restarts Rosberg was passed by Max Verstappen and dropped to third. Red Bull soon made an error on strategy to hand the position back, before Rosberg saved what could have been a race-ending snap on the run up towards the wall at Juncao. it was not the most stunning of drives but did not need to be, as the result kept Rosbergs destiny well and truly in his own hands and kept him the heavy favourite going to the Abu Dhabi showdown.?Points after Brazil: Rosberg - 367 Hamilton - 355A tense finish, a worthy championHamilton continued his strong form in Abu Dhabi, taking a commanding pole position as Mercedes once again dominated the season finale. Rosberg, who just needed a podium for his maiden championship, took second ahead of Ferrari and Red Bull. Hamilton led into Turn 1 but Rosberg held second and soon came under huge pressure from the chasing pack as his teammate. Rosberg was faultless under pressure, keeping second after the first stops and then passing the one-stopping Max Verstappen in thrilling circumstances at mid-distance.?In the closing stages, a desperate Hamilton once again backed Rosberg into the chasing pack as Vettel and Verstappen closed in. Once again Rosberg stayed calm to cross the line just 0.4s behind his teammate to claim a first world championship title.?Final points standings: Rosberg - 385 Hamilton - 380 Cheap NFL Jerseys ChinaChina NFL Hoodies Wholesale Jerseys 2020 White NFL Jerseys Cheap Cheap Jerseys 2019 Cheap Stitched Jerseys Wholesale Stitched Jerseys ' ' '

RIO DE JANEIRO -- With one big block, Dario Saric gave a glimpse of what the 76ers cant wait to see in Philadelphia. Youth Nyheim Hines Jersey .And he showed why Croatia believes in its chances to reach the quarterfinals in these Olympics.Saric swatted away Pau Gasols shot just before the buzzer, preserving Croatias 72-70 upset of Spain on Sunday night in a mens basketball game.The former lottery pick had a rough offensive game and banged his leg on a pick in the final minute, but kept fighting through his struggles to make the biggest play of the Olympics thus far.This last play from Saric, thats a picture of our team, Croatia captain Roko Ukic said.The 76ers sure loved it, tweeting a picture of the final play on their official Twitter account. Theyve been waiting to get the No. 12 pick in the 2014 draft on their team ever since acquiring his draft rights from Orlando, but Saric had continued playing professionally in Turkey until signing a contract with the 76ers last month.That has brought even more attention to the 22-year-old forward.Hes like the next big thing in Croatia. Thats not easy, Ukic said.Its not easy to play the game, first time in the Olympic games, and things didnt go well him offensively. But, like, effort he made, and saved the day with his last block, that shows character.Saric finished with just five points on 1-for-7 shooting, and limped to the sideline with 12.8 seconds left after he banged his leg on a pick that freed up Nikola Mirotic for a 3-pointer that cut it to 71-70. But Saric came back onto the court after the timeout and made one free throw after his fouled, then shook off whatever pain was left in the leg to turn away Gasols shot.Anybody can make that block and it was, I dont know, my situation and I did it, said Saric, who the Sixers list as 6-foot-10.The 76ers have endured three straight miserable seasons while they broke down their roster and angled for the draft lottery. They hope it will start paying off with the young players that has given them, such as No. 1 overall pick Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid, the former No. 3 selection who hasnt played yet because of injuries.Saric looks like he would fit in nicely with them.Today he didnt make some shots but he played a great game, said Mirotic, who plays for the Chicago Bulls. I think that right now hes an NBA player, its good for him. Im sure that hes going to do great there.Croatia didnt even earn a place in the Olympics until last month, knocking off Greece and then outlasting host Italy in overtime to win a qualifying tournament. Saric was the tournament MVP after averaging 14 points and 10 rebounds.He couldnt deliver that kind of scoring Sunday, but finished with seven rebounds and five assists to go with his block.And theres more to Saric than his stats.He has no fear of anything, Croatia coach Aleksandar Petrovic said.---Follow Brian Mahoney on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Briancmahoney Youth Quenton Nelson Jersey . The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season.

Note: The Calgary Flames announced Tuesday that Sean Monahan would not be made available to Canadas World Junior team. On Sunday, seven American challengers will attempt to overthrow the Evolution Championship Series (Evo) throne at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.They will enter the top eight of Super Smash Bros. Melee, each vying for his own personal chance to make history.Standing in their way is the one overseas competitor still alive on foreign ground, as defending Evolution champion Adam Armada Lindgren looks to retain his title and achieve back-to-back gold-medal finishes.One Swedish champion versus seven American contenders. Who will exit Mandalay as the worlds best Melee player?Winners Bracket SemifinalsAdam Armada Lindgren vs. Jason Mew2King ZimmermanOn Sunday, these two gods of Melee will battle it out to get a guaranteed top-three placing and a spot in the Winners Final. Alliances Armada, the undisputed Melee champion of 2015, has had a less successful year in 2016; however, he has kept the same air of consistency that has him in the history books as one of the best players in the games history. Mew2King, whose play is the opposite of consistent, can vary in form for all sorts of different reasons. Featuring two of the smartest players in the professional scene today, its a matchup between veterans, with the Swedish champion entering as the favorite.Yet, even with his mentality issues at times, Mew2King is someone you cant count out. An upset run to the finals and a championship win would be the pinnacle of a decadelong career of Echo Foxs Smash representative.Juan Hungrybox Debiedma vs. Justin Plup McGrathIts now or never for Team Liquids ace Hungrybox. A perennial finalist, he has earned the title as the Silver King of Melee at Evo, finishing as runner-up in both the 2015 and 2014 tournaments to Armada and eternal rival Cloud9s Joseph Mango Marquez, respectively. This year, however, has been the Year of Hungrybox, as the Jigglypuff master has won eight tournaments and only grabbed a silver medal twice.For Hungrybox, this tournament will shape how people view his legacy. Given his third-place finish in 2013 and his two silver finishes the past two years, another failure to grab gold in a year where he has routinely won championships will be looked upon as a missed opportunity. A title, however, would elevate him to the same status as Mango and Armada: an Evolution champion.His opponent, Plup, is no stranger to playing with and against Hungrybox, as the two both come out of the Florida region and have been a prolific tag team before in Melee doubles. Plups winners semifinals placement is his own statement that hes ready to take the next step in his career. A consistent top eight finisher, he had his first huge breakthrough during the last Evo, where he upset both Mango and Team SoloMids William Leffen Hjelte to finish in fourth place (see Road to Evo: Plup). Youth Braden Smith Jersey. His road ended in the losers semifinals of that tournament when he fell to Hungryboxs Jigglypuff in a 2-0 sweep over his Sheik.Losers Bracket Round 5Weston Westballz Dennis vs. Johnny S2J KimThis match could make the career of either competitor. In the only matchup in the top eight without one of the tournament favorites, G2 Esports recently signed talent Westballz or Tempo Storms S2J could push himself to the next level with a win.Westballz, one of the better non-god or Leffen players in 2015 with top four finishes at various large events, has had more of a quiet 2016. Hes placed outside the semifinals for a majority of the tournaments that he has played in, outside of his minor tournament victory in London over Germanys Mustafa Ice Akcakaya. S2J, out of all eight finalists, is the biggest long shot, having not finished above seventh-eighth place at a premier competition this year. His Evolution history has been good but nothing remarkable, hovering around the 13th to 24th position the past three years.This years Cinderella run could come from this matchup between Westballzs Falco and S2Js Captain Falcon.Joseph Mango Marquez vs. Kevin PewPewU ToyThe final match of the top eight might also be its best. Mango, two-time Evolution champion, was thwarted from his three-peat last year and threw his participation medal into the crowd during the closing ceremony. Possibly the greatest American to ever pick up the game, Mangos desire and drive is to grab the 3vo title that he failed to pick up last year. He has changed his training regimen around (see Road to Evo: Mango), and the C9 star is hoping that his more focused attitude and approach to the game will be what he needs to take home the title he covets so much. Coming out of the losers bracket, hell need to win five straight matches on Sunday to make his dream a reality in front of a raucous crowd at the Events Center.CLGs PewPewU, often seen as a tandem alongside club and doubles teammate Zachary SFAT Cordoni, is going it alone in the final eight at Evolution. His placement already will be the best in his career -- hes placed ninth-12th the past two years -- but Counter Logics player doesnt want the run to end here. A win over Mango would boost PewPewU into the top six and give him the chance to take down multiple Melee gods en route to an unexpected title run.

Louis Blues teammates who would also be participating in the Olympics, Alex Pietrangelo felt right at home, no different in some ways to the travel experience of any old road trip – save for the length of the journey, that is. TROON, Scotland -- Jordan Spieth, going for the third leg of the career Grand Slam, spent more time talking about a golf course he will never see.The majority of his press conference was taken up with questions about the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and why he chose not to play. Spieth knew that was coming. It was only when he was leaving the room that the 22-year-old Texan smiled and said to no one in particular, Do we have a tournament this week?Finally, yes.Colin Montgomerie, who lived across the street from Royal Troon when his father was the club secretary, hits the first tee shot when the British Open begins on Thursday. That should put to rest three days of consternation about another tournament -- the Olympics -- that doesnt have nearly the history or the tradition of golfs oldest championship.The International Golf Federation, run by former R&A chief Peter Dawson, took over Open week on Monday to announce that Olympic qualifying had ended and that Spieth (along with Rory McIlroy, Jason Day, Dustin Johnson and 16 other men) was not playing.The next day, Spieth stood by his decision (health concerns) and said his goal would be to get to the Tokyo Games in 2020, assuming the men are still in the games. McIlroy followed him into the room and blasted golf officials who for the last seven years have preached the Olympics as an opportunity to grow the game.I didnt get into golf to grow the game, McIlroy said. I got into golf to win championships, and win major championships.Even on Wednesday, the day before the 145th Open began, another press conference was held with the IGF backdrop to announce Britains golf team.Claret jug, anyone?Spieth let it slip through his fingers last year at St. Andrews going for his third straight major, and he wound up holding it later that evening -- but only because he was with Zach Johnson, the champion golfer of the year, when it was over.I crave to have that trophy in my possession at some point, Spieth said. And to reach a third leg of the Grand Slam this week would be a fantastic achievement.History is on his side, even if its more of a coincidence. The last six British Open champions at Royal Troon dating to 1950 are Americans, and it didnt escape Spieth when he looked at photos of the winners in the clubhouse. The last two winners, Todd Hamilton and Justin Leonard,, lived in Dallas. Oscar Lindberg Jersey. Spieth arrived on the weekend and already saw the unpredictable nature of these Ayrshire links off the Irish Sea.The wind was into his face on Saturday and Sunday on the easier opening holes, and the prevailing wind at his back returned the following three days. Royal Troon is clearly a tale of two nines. The front nine typically is downwind and doesnt have a par 4 longer than 422 yards. The back nine turns into the wind and doesnt have a par 4 that his shorter than 430 yards.The common denominator? Bunkers dot the landscape on both sides, along with thick, prickly gorse bushes more prevalent at the turn. Fairway bunkers effectively are a half-shot penalty, possibly a full shot or more if the ball rolls up against the vetted faces.We looked at the holes, and on paper it looked relatively simple, Masters champion Danny Willett said. But you start knocking it in a couple of the bunkers, up near the faces, the bunker design is a little bit sneaky.The closing holes into the wind can be a three-club difference.You can see when its flattened out, you can have a go at the golf course, he said. But if you get it breezy, like in any Open venue, this place really shows its teeth.The record score at Royal Troon is 12-under 272 when Leonard won in 1997.McIlroy has been feisty this week. Along with taking on the purpose of golf in the Olympics, he was annoyed by a newspaper headline that referenced the Fab Four and suggested he was close to becoming Ringo Starr, regarded as the least of four Beatles.It was only two years ago that McIlroy ended the summer of 2014 by winning two straight majors and leaving no question who was No. 1. Spieth, Day and Johnson have combined to win four of the last six majors, and McIlroy is now at No. 4 in the world.I cant worry about other guys, McIlroy said. Im pretty confident that if I go out and play my best golf Im going to win more times than not. Ive got four major championships, and Id love to add to that tally -- just as those guys would love to add to their one or two majors that they have and just keep going.What the Fab Four has in common is all of them want a claret jug -- and none are going to the Olympics, anyway.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Iowa was reeling from a pair of losses to teams the Hawkeyes were favored to beat, pushing that 12-0 regular season from 2015 to the back of the memory bank. Brandon Tanev Stanley Cup Jersey .They got back on track with a gritty victory over rival Minnesota.Akrum Wadley took off for a 54-yard touchdown run with 5:28 left and the Hawkeyes hung on to beat the Gophers 14-7 on Saturday to hoist the Floyd of Rosedale trophy for the second straight year.We just kept grinding, said Wadley, who had 14 carries for 107 yards for Iowa (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten), who matched the program record with an eighth straight road win despite two interceptions thrown by C.J. Beathard.Iowa has won four of the last five meetings and 12 of 16. Minnesota still leads the overall series 62-46-2.I would like to say we wanted it more, said Beathard, whose streak with a touchdown pass in nine straight games was stopped.Floyd, the 98-pound bronze pig first awarded in 1935 as a bet between the governors of the two states, mustve felt unwanted for most of the game.Mitch Leidner completed only 13 of 33 passes for 166 yards and was also picked off twice for the Gophers (3-2, 0-2), who were flagged eight times for 58 yards and lead the conference in penalties.After one of Ryan Santosos nine punts went only 30 yards, Wadley scored on the next play. Sophomore safety Jacob Huff, subbing for an injured Antoine Winfield Jr., went the wrong way at the snap and missed a futile diving attempt at the tackle. LeShun Daniels Jr. ran in the 2-point conversion.Sooner or later, they slip up and it will be a long one, Wadley said. Either LeShun or me was going to hit it.The Gophers overcame Leidners second interception and regained the ball with no timeouts and 86 seconds remaining. Leidner moved the ball to the 13 with four completions, but his fourth-down fade throw to Brian Smith in the end zone fell short with 43 seconds left.This one really hurt, Gophers linebacker Jonathan Celestin said, especially losing at home.Shannon Brooks gave Minnesota a 7-6 lead midway through the third quarter with a 9-yard run, but the Gophers didnt take full advantage of an Iowa defense that was leaking an average of 183 rushing yards per game. Brooks and Rodney Smith combined for only 21 carries.I think the holes were there, Brooks said. Maybe try to break more tackles.THE TAKEAWAYIOWA: Kept alive the hope of winning the West Division again, recovering from a homecoming loss to Northwestern with a performance that wasnt pretty but still a winner. The Hawkeyes get both Wisconsin and Nebraska at home this season.This win defines our season, cornerback Desmond King said.MINNESOTA: Struggled all afternoon to sustain drives, let alone score, after totaling 86 points in the last two games against Iowa. Leidner didnt complete a pass until less than 4 1/2 minutes were left in the first half, and his throw into double coverage at the Iowa 35 later on that possession was picked off.He never could set his feet because he had to get the hell out of the way, coach Tracy Claeys said. They were just squeezing the pocket, and the protection wasnt any good, and I think that leads to some inaccuracies.FRONT FIVEThe Hawkeyes were unable to consistently protect Beathard, who was hampered by a handful of drops by their receivers.

Leishmans wife Audrey almost died from toxic shock syndrome last year and the world No 35 has decided against risking the trip to Rio de Janeiro.Last April, my children and I almost lost my wife Audrey to toxic shock syndrome, Leishman said in a statement. Since then, Audrey has been prone to infection and is far removed from 100 per cent recovery of her immune system.

Singh also expressed concern over the Zika virus. PGA of Australia chief executive officer, Brian Thorburn said: Marc didnt make his decision without a great deal of thought. Yes, it is very disappointing he wont be representing Australia in Rio, but we respect his decision to makeAudreys health and well-being his number one priority.To be in a position where you have to withdraw from the Masters and the Olympics, the two most significant tournaments a professional can be invited to, all within the space of 12 months, is not a decision made in haste.

DERBY, England -- Former England coach Steve McClaren is back as manager of Derby County, 17 months after being fired by the club for failing to secure a return to the English Premier League. Youth Armani Watts Jersey .Derby announced the appointment on Wednesday, with McClaren saying he was delighted at the prospect of finishing what we started.After leaving Derby, McClaren was hired by Premier League club Newcastle but lasted just nine months before being sacked.McClaren, who coached England from 2006-07, took charge of Derby for the first time in September 2013 and led the team to the League Championship playoff final that season, where it lost to Queens Park Rangers. The following season, Derby was top of the second tier with two months remaining but a poor run of form saw the team finish eighth and miss out on the playoffs.The 55-year-old McClaren said I regret how my time at Derby ended back in 2015 and I am very motivated to put things right for the club and our supporters. My ultimate aspiration remains exactly what it was before, to take Derby County back to the Premier League.Derby was last in the Premier League in 2008.McClaren has signed a deal until 2018 as the replacement for Nigel Pearson, who left last week following a suspension and a club investigation into his conduct.

The Scot will take over from Novak Djokovic at the top of the rankings when they are published on Monday and he will hope to have an eighth title of the most impressive year of his career to go with it.After Djokovics quarter-final defeat on Friday, Murrays position was confirmed on Saturday when Milos Raonic withdrew from their semi-final, making him Britains first ever tennis world No 1 and ending the Serbs 122-week stranglehold at the head of the game. With the considerable side issue of the No 1 ranking now out of the way, Murray will concentrate on claiming the 14th Masters title of his career and a third of the season, having already claimed victory in Rome and Shanghai.Murray is into his fifth Masters final in succession this season and his 12th final of a memorable 2016. He will be a hot favourite against surprise finalist Isner, who beat Djokovics conqueror, Marin Cilic, in Saturdays first semi-final. Croft: Murray worthy of top spot Annabel Croft and Peter Fleming discuss Murrays rise Andy Murray took to the court for a knock-up after Milos Raonics withdrawal Murray has won all seven meetings between the pair, including a 6-1 6-3 quarter-final victory in Vienna last week, but he wont be underestimating the American, who overtook Ivo Karlovic for the most aces served on tour this year when he fired down 18 to take him to 1,141 for the season.He played a great match as I saw quite a bit of it after I finished practising, Murray told Sky Sports.He looked like he played very well, the court is very quick here and you look at the guys who have reached the latter stages - Tsonga, Cilic, Isner, Raonic - its a lot of the big servers.

As was widely anticipated, Liberty Media have emerged from the shadows as the new owners of Formula One -- at least, they will be once the deal-making is complete. Wholesale Chargers Jerseys .The news has been greeted with widespread approval in the F1 paddock, which saw previous owners CVC as (at best) uninterested profiteers and (at worst) guilty of raping the sport.?Liberty Media roared into the spotlight this week making much fanfare about opportunities for growth in markets both old and new; team investment in the sport; and a push into social and digital media with a view to expanding the sports audience share: all very good things, clearly. But as Bernie Ecclestone himself pointed out, Liberty arent interested in F1 for philanthropic reasons, but for financial ones. Whether or not the deal proves to be good for the sport long-term remains to be seen, but current auspices are positive.Speaking following the formal announcement of the deal, incoming Formula One Group Chairman Chase Carey pointed to the opportunities for growth within the sport. So what do we see as the opportunity?, he asked. The opportunity is to grow and develop this sport for the benefit of the fans, teams, partners and our shareholders by increasing promotion and marketing of Formula One as a sport and brand.Enhancing the distribution of content, especially in digital -- currently a very small percentage of revenue. Evolving the race calendar. Establishing a broader range of commercial partnerships, including sponsorships. Leveraging Libertys expertise in live events and digital monetization to make our events bigger than ever.We were particularly attracted to F1 by the diverse revenue drivers and low-risk business models, Carey added. There are essentially three core revenue buckets in the business: race promotion, broadcasting and advertising, and sponsorship - each with significant growth potential as we go forward.Formula One is a key player in the high-growth market for live, premium sports rights. There is an increasing demand from broadcasters, advertisers and sponsors who want access to F1s mass global live audiences and attractive demographics.Carey went into more detail about the opportunities for growth, pointing to both the entrenched European market and growth areas in Asia and the Americas as ripe for exploitation.In terms of developing markets, clearly new markets are opportunities as a global sport, and were excited about that, to grow the sport, expand the sport in places like the Americas and Asia, said Carey. But I want to be clear that, certainly, the established markets -- the home and foundation of Formula 1 is Europe in particular -- are of critical importance.Building the sport in Europe, building on that foundation, has got to be second to none. We do want to take advantage of the global footprint of this sport, we want to focus on it. In the longer term, markets like the US and key Asian markets are opportunities to develop. Were not going to do that overnight. But there are huge audiences there. If we reach those fans using digital platforms and some of the tools that havent been exploited aggressively, we can build a whole new generation of fans in places that, historically, have been as significant a part of the Formula 1 fanbase.An interesting element of the deal is a clause allowing the teams to invest in the sport once the takeover is complete. The teams will be given the opportunity to participate in the investment in Formula One, and the detailed terms of that investment will be agreed in due course, the statement read. Certain teams have already expressed an interest in investing after completion of the acquisition.The paddocks reaction to the news has been generally positive, with Force Indias Bob Fernley pointing to the potential for growth under media-centric owners, while McLaren called it a positive step for the sport. Speaking in Monza over the weekend, Toto Wolff was cautiously optimistic.If there is an investor who wants to buy the shares, it is good news for F1, the Mercedes boss said. Maybe it is good news that an American media company buys F1, but I dont know the details of the transaction and neither do I know what happens in terms of management. Bernie has done an awesome job over 50 years and made it what it is.Liberty Media Chief Executive Greg Maffei said at the announcement: We are excited to become part of Formula One. We think our long-term perspective and expertise with media and sports assets will allow us to be good stewards of Formula One and benefit fans, teams and our shareholders. Chargers Jerseys Online .

Robert Lee reflects on Rory McIlroys decision to stay loyal to the European Tour, looks at the issues facing players considering a trip to the Olympics and discusses what the future could hold for Tiger Woods… Its great for Keith Pelley and the European Tour that Rory, our top player, is coming across and playing at the Open de France at Le Golf National. Youth Wild Jerseys . Its something Im very pleased out, thats for sure.The European Tour was put in a difficult position with the movement of the WGC-Bridgestone to the week opposite the French Open, but they couldnt mess around with the tournament when it has been such a high calibrate event for so long and deserves the Tours loyalty. If Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth or someone like that ends up with a gold medal, will they feel like they would after a major victory? I dont think so. Robert Lee on Olympics If youre on the PGA Tour and you want to play in the Ryder Cup, then playing in France is a no-brainer for me. Le Golf National is a great course, its going to be a Ryder Cup venue in 2018 and then theres also the added incentive of double event points being up for grabs.I think the Tour has got some ambitious plans and Im sure the French Open would have been right up there in their top events. Im really thrilled for them because over the years because theyve put up big prize money and not got quite the high-profile fields they would have wanted, so this year with Rory changes all that.Busy scheduleTheres always a rammed schedule over the summer, which makes it hard for players to pick where and when to play and stay fresh for the majors, but this year is even tougher with everything squashed together because of the Olympics.Its obvious for some of the high-profile players that the idea of an Olympics just isnt floating their boat. Weve already seen a few pull out, which we wouldnt see happen for one of the majors where theyd all want to be in it to win it. Louis Oosthuizen (pictured), Adam Scott and Charl Schwartzel have all ruled themselves out of Olympic contention If Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth or someone like that ends up with a gold medal, will they feel like they would after a major victory? I dont think so.Not all of the top golfers are going to play but theyre not Olympic athletes, theyre just trying to squeeze it in to their schedule as opposed to training specifically for Rio.For track and field or the majority of sports, thats their pinnacle and theres nothing higher for them to achieve, whereas thats just not the case in golf.Maybe in years to come an Olympic gold might be as coveted as a major title, but thats assuming it remains an Olympic sport for a long time. The good thing for golf though is the national recognition it will get in under developed golfing countries because of its inclusion in the Olympics and that can only be a good thing.Tiger to return? Tiger Woods last appearance came at Augusts Wyndham Championship Everyone wants to see Tiger Woods back at something like he was, but he was playing badly before his body packed up and was really struggling.There was talk that he might try and play Quail Hollow before potentially the US Open, which if he does then I dont see why he wouldnt play at Oakmont. It will be a difficult test though and he hasnt had a lot of game time, so does he want to go out there and risk shooting over par twice? I just dont know how ready his game will be.Even if his body is fully fit and like being brand new, how much can he improve his game between now and then from a place where hes hardly played? That in itself is a big puzzle to solve. Woods has struggled with back injuries over the past decade He has got to be absolutely sure before he returns, as I dont think theres any coming back after this one. If he comes back and the back breaks down I think thats it, as he has rushed back several times before.In the past you must assume he has had the best advice and maybe not followed it, with a slightly Superman attitude. If hes getting close to a return, then expect his name to be on the slow boil in the coming weeks.Looking aheadIm in the studio again this week for the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, where Justin Rose is defending champion. Weve got Danny Willett in the studio with us on Thursday which will be fun, and Im assuming hell be bringing his Green Jacket! Danny Willett will be live in the studio for the opening round Rose may have won last years tournament but he has been a bit patchy so far this year and starting to fiddle with his putting, so I think its hard to look past Jason Day this week.There are also quite a lot of decent players who have gone to Beijing for the Volvo China Open, where Im going to pick Bernd Wiesberger as someone who will have a good week.Watch the Volvo China Open and the Zurich Classic of New Orleans throughout the week on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf Also See: McIlroy to miss Bridgestone French Open prize boost Woods registers for US Open Golf live on Sky Sports 4 Matt Dumba Jersey .

LOUIS -- St. Yet another week of discussing Cris Cyborg Justinos weight will culminate in a 140-pound catchweight bout against Lina Lansberg on Saturday at UFC Fight Night in Brasilia, Brazil.Justino remains the 145-pound Invicta FC featherweight champion, but she has been forced to cut to 140 pounds for her two UFC appearances because the promotion does not have a 145-pound weight class.It doesnt have a 140-pound weight class, either, but lets not get off topic. Justinos weight has been covered extensively leading up to this fight, as it always is. Now its time to talk about the fight itself.Lets take a closer look at the Brazilians sophomore UFC appearance as well as a few other matchups on the card. Dont agree with these picks? Let me know on Twitter: @bokamotoESPN.Main eventCris Justino (15-1) vs. Lina Lansberg (6-1) 140-pound catchweight Odds: Justino -1275; Lansberg +825The word mismatch comes to mind.Its pretty well documented by now that Justino is a shark swimming in a pond of 145-pound minnows. The division just doesnt exist within the UFC, so its difficult finding this woman a fight (let alone a competitive one). Until one of the UFCs top 135-pounders finds it in her best interest to fight Justino, were going to see matchups like this. Theres nothing wrong with Lansberg, but shes in way over her head -- stylistically and physically.Lansberg, 34, is a former professional kickboxer out of Sweden whose MMA career is less than 4 years old. She has done a nice job of playing to her strengths through seven pro fights, although all have come against a weaker level of opposition than what shell see this weekend. Her nickname is Elbow Princess, and its hard to understate how much she loves throwing them bows. They are her weapon of choice anytime shes within a certain range.Where does she hold an advantage against Justino, though? The answer might legitimately be absolutely nowhere. Shes bringing elbows to a knife fight. Justinos right hand lays waste to everything it touches, and very quietly shes getting more efficient with it. Her clinch striking matches up perfectly fine with Lansbergs, especially when you consider the size difference. Justino is skipping meals and taking birth control just to make 140. Lansberg is a 1135-pound fighter. Scottie Pippen Jersey. Although we tend to expect a standup showcase out of Justino, she has a major grappling advantage here as well. If she wanted to take this to the floor and finish it via ground and pound, theres not much evidence that suggests she couldnt.If were searching for something that might play out in Lansbergs favor, it would be the drastic weight cut for Justino. You add up the weight cut, the emotions of fighting at home, the fact so many of her fights end within the first minute -- usually that adds up to a gassed fighter. But even though her UFC debut was quick (81 seconds), Justino showed a lot of composure for such a big moment and very little wasted energy. And shes such a workhorse in the gym (she has to be; burning calories is one of the main requirements when she fights at this weight) that cardio has never been a major issue. Surviving and hoping Justino gets tired might be a game plan ... but its probably not a very effective one.Lansberg has been very impressive at times during her career, particularly inside that clinch -- but again, the level of competition wasnt the same and her overall skill set is not on par with Justino. She also hasnt displayed a ton of knockout power, which lessens the likelihood of that punchers chance all fighters have.Prediction:?Lansberg will be a lamb led to the slaughter. Justino via KO in 55 seconds.Featured fights:Renan Barao (33-4) vs. Phillipe Nover (11-5-1), featherweights The Barao we used to know may be gone forever. A few holes have been exposed and its fair to question where his confidence is at this point. He should have enough to win this, though. Prediction: Barao submission.Roy Nelson (21-13) vs. Antonio Silva (19-8-1), heavyweights Two hard hitters with plenty of miles behind them. One of them has a granite chin. The other does not. Prediction: Nelson KO.Paul Felder (12-2) vs. Francisco Trinaldo (20-4), lightweights? Trinaldo has won six in a row against quality opposition. Hell get in the face of Felder, who has had issues in the past of not pulling the trigger. This is a tossup. Prediction: Felder TKO.
