LONDON -- Everything is falling into place for Novak Djokovic at the World Tour Finals, which will make a welcome change, given some of his tribulations the past six months. Shox Nz .On Thursday, we will be spared a potential second-round clash between the Serb and Gael Monfils, who withdrew from the Tour Finals because of a rib injury he picked up last month in Stockholm.Monfils rope-a-dope tactics infuriated those inside Arthur Ashe Stadium and beguiled Djokovic in their US Open semifinal clash just a couple months ago. No one is probably happier to see Monfils exit the tournament than Djokovic, who won that match in four difficult sets.?You know, you work so hard for this moment, then [to] not be able [to] play your best is a huge deception for me, Monfils said in a news conference Wednesday. To not be able to finish it, I attempted to play in two matches. I have a couple of stuff I wanted to show. Im disappointed.One mans loss is anothers gain, though, and now alternate David Goffins trip to London wont be as just a tourist.There will be pride on the line in Thursdays afternoon session. Like all the original members of Group Ivan Lendl, Goffin has never beaten Djokovic. His losing streak stands at four, including a semifinal loss earlier this year in Miami.With a 2-0 record this week, Djokovic is already guaranteed a place in the semifinals as the group winner; little else will be at stake when the Belgian takes on the world No. 2.It is another boost for the 12-time Grand Slam champion, who is seeking a fifth consecutive title here and sixth overall. A championship would guarantee him the year-end No. 1 ranking for the fifth time in six years. Last Monday,?Andy Murray ended Djokovics 122-week reign at the top.Unlike Murray, who faces a tough battle against Stan Wawrinka?on Friday to potentially secure his place in the last four, Djokovic can put his feet up with an extra days rest.It could mean another trip to one of Londons green spots with his family.?Well, Hyde Park is one of the nicest parks there is in this city, Djokovic said of a venture outside earlier this week. Because of its vastness, I guess you have so many different contents: the lake, nature, different amusement for adults and for children. My son is here. Obviously, I try to dedicate my time daily to him, at least in the morning.We take a stride. We play with the ducks and swans, ball, playground. It keeps me relaxed. It keeps me grounded as well. I get to spend time with my family and him, quality time. Its very important.Djokovic just needs to better Murray this week, which has become a more conceivable prospect as the week has progressed. The Scot might be on a 21-match win streak (including four titles), but he faces a nightmare run of three matches in three days, should he make it to the final.Playing a 3-hour, 20-minute marathon against Kei Nishikori?on Wednesday did not help his cause. Murray needed an ice bath after that grueling, three-set win.Although Djokovic doesnt have much on the line Thursday, Milos Raonic and Dominic Thiem will compete in a straight shootout in the evening session, with the winner awarded second place -- and the coveted semifinal spot -- in the group.Hes playing well, Raonic said of the 23-year-old Austrian. Hes been doing stuff well throughout this whole year. Just like myself, he played extremely well at the beginning of the year. Hasnt necessarily played his best tennis since.Fortunately for me, I hope it works out that way. This is one of my best surfaces. I dont know if indoor hard courts is necessarily his. So hopefully I can take time away from him and play on my terms and have him react to the things I put forward and try to push him around.As the home stretch of this years ATP World Tour Finals approaches, the players are feeling the building pressure to win or go home. Everyone except Djokovic, that is. Hombre COMME des GARÇONS Nike Vapormax Negro+Antracita . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. Comprar Nike Cortez Online . LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string. http://www.siyaguna.com/nike-cortez/nike-cortez-ultra-moire.html . Only three players drafted by NHL clubs were included on the Czech selection camp roster on Wednesday. Those players were Dallas Stars 2012 first-rounder Radek Faksa, Winnipeg Jets 2013 fourth-rounder Jan Kostalek and Phoenix Coyotes 2012 seventh-rounder Marek Langhamer. NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- DeMarco Murray looks reborn in Tennessee, his third team in as many seasons.Not that the running back ever doubted himself.I know what type of player I am, Murray said Thursday. Thats all that matters to me.Murray, and the Titans, may have been among the last believers in the man who was the NFLs Offensive Player of the Year in 2014 after running for 1,845 yards with the Dallas Cowboys.His lone season in Philadelphia after signing a five-year, $42 million contract ended in March with the Eagles trading him to Tennessee for the price of swapping fourth-round draft picks .The Titans have been happy with Murray, who is coming off his best game yet. He ran for 114 yards on 16 carries in last weeks 17-10 loss to Oakland, and Murray also caught five passes for 41 yards. Murray had only one 100-yard rushing performance in 15 games in Philadelphia.Tennessee officials thought Murray would be a perfect fit for coach Mike Mularkey because his offense features so many runs similar to what helped the running back perform so well in Dallas.Thats kind of what got us energized to go get him, Titans offensive coordinator Terry Robiskie said. We felt the runs he had and the carries he had, kind of fit us pretty good.Even though the Titans also drafted Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry out of Alabama in the second round, the six-year veteran Murray gets the bulk of the work.Murray ranks eighth in the NFL with 245 yards rushing, had the third-longest run this season on a 67-yarder in a 16-15 win at Detroit on Sept. 18 and leads all running backs with 17 receptions.Murray will have a chance to run in Texas again Sunday when the Titans (1-2) visit the Houston Texans (2-1). Murray ran for 136 yards in his only game against Houston in 2014. He also caught six passes for 56 yards that day.The running back credits his comfort level with what the Titanns are asking him to do for his success so far. Zapatillas Nike Shox Nz Mujer. hese are plays Ive ran since Ive been in the league, and these are plays that I like, Murray said. I think whenever I get a chance to go downhill, get in space Im a little good at doing that.Murray broke off a 36-yarder in the loss to Oakland trying to rally the Titans, and Mularkey took the running back out of the game to give him a quick break.I could see the look on his face was like, `Dont ever do that again ..., Mularkey said.And thats kind of been his history. Hes a good runner from the beginning, but he definitely got stronger in that game. He was making a lot of yards after contact, a lot of yards.After a career-high 392 carries in his last season with Dallas, Murray finished with only 193 carries for 702 yards under Chip Kelly in Philadelphia for his worst season playing more than 10 games.The Titans reworked Murrays contract as part of the trade bringing him to Tennessee. Murray also did his homework on a franchise that had won only five games the past two seasons combined.He liked the veterans the team already had on the roster in tight end Delanie Walker and linebacker Brian Orakpo.Walker sees a kindred player in Murray.We knew he was a playmaker on other teams and able to take over the game when we need him, and thats why were here, Walker said. I knew DeMarco had that in him all along.Game notes Walker (right hamstring) and LG Quinton Spain (ankle) were limited in practice Thursday along with WR Tajae Sharpe (hamstring). WR Kendall Wright (left hamstring) practiced fully for a second straight day.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Teresa M.
