U.S. Open - Murray beats injured defending champion Rafael Nadal
The former U.S. Open runner-up Murray was leading the second-seeded former world No. 1 Nadal 6-3, 7-6 (7-2), 3-0 when Nadal retired with a right knee injury at Rod Laver Arena. The oft-injured Nadal missed several months of action last season because of knee and abdominal issues and was unable to defend his title at Wimbledon.
"I've known Rafa since I was 13 or 14 and he is somebody I have always looked up to," Murray said after the match. "He is my favorite player to watch because of his energy and I am gutted for him."
"I came through a few difficult moments at the start of the match, but I played well and I got my tactics right," Murray added.
Nadal called for a medical timeout during the second game of the third set to get treatment on the knee, and he called it quits shortly thereafter. He and Murray, however, managed to squeeze in some terrific tennis before the abrupt ending on Day 9.
Murray and Nadal started slugging it out in the first set, but the Spaniard doesn't overpower opponents like he used to. As recently as last year, Nadal held the Aussie Open, Wimbledon, French Open and Olympic titles.
Nadal broke Murray to grab a 2-1 lead in the first set, but the Brit then rattled off four straight games on his way to taking the stanza in relatively easy fashion.
In the second set, Nadal took a spill on the court in the 11th game, not long before a tiebreak would decide the stanza. Unfortunately for Nadal, he played a poor tiebreak and Murray was in control at that point.
The 23-year-old Nadal would call for the trainer two games later, and then it was over after the next game.
Nadal said he hurt the knee at the end of the second set.
"Was in the end of the second set in one drop," Nadal said. "And I feeled similar thing to what I had last year."
"For sure for me is little bit disappointing have the pain on the knee because I think I am very close to start winning these important matches," Nadal added. "And I think I gonna do soon."
Nadal outlasted Roger Federer in last year's Melbourne finale, which gave the Spaniard his sixth career Grand Slam singles title. The powerful Spaniard, however, hasn't won a title of any kind since May of last year.
Murray took the play to Nadal on Australia Day, as the talented Brit swatted 13 aces, compared to only one for Nadal, and notched four service breaks, compared to two for the losing Spaniard, who will no longer be No. 2 in the world when the new rankings are released next week. The Dunblane, Scotland native moved on in 2 1/2 hours and became the first Brit to reach the semis here since John Lloyd in 1977.
A British male hasn't won a Grand Slam event since Fred Perry in 1936.
The 22-year-old Murray is now 3-7 lifetime against Nadal, including 2-2 in Grand Slam play. The Brit lost to the Spaniard in the fourth round here in 2007.

The second set of the Murray-Nadal match was delayed for about 10 minutes due to an Australia Day fireworks celebration.
Murray's semifinal opponent on Friday will be the capable Cilic, who knocked out the Wimbledon runner-up and former world No. 1 Roddick in five sets, 7-6 (7-4), 6-3, 3-6, 2-6, 6-3. Cilic will now appear in his first career Grand Slam semifinal.
Roddick suffered with a right shoulder injury in the first set against Cilic, received some medical attention and was getting blown out, but rallied before the 6-foot-6 Cilic took charge in the final set and gained the big victory.
The 21-year-old Cilic played his third five-set match of this fortnight.
After winning the first two sets and dropping the third, Cilic looked to be out of gas on Day 9, but he finally reached new territory in his career. The big Croat was knocked out in the quarterfinals at last year's U.S. Open by eventual champion Juan Martin del Potro. Cilic got revenge by beating del Potro in five sets in the fourth round here on Sunday, and two days later battled Roddick in an encounter that lasted just under four hours.
Roddick, a semifinalist here last year, showed a lot of guts in rallying on Tuesday, but fell to 12-15 in his career five-set matches.
Cilic rallied from a 0-40 deficit in the first game of the final set, saving three break points before finally holding serve.
After Roddick held serve easily, Cilic used an overhead smash to take a 2-1 lead before the turning point of the final set came. Roddick hit a forehand wide to give Cilic a service break and the Croat slammed an ace for a 4-1 advantage.
Roddick had a tough hold, but Cilic continued to hit effective groundstrokes and used another ace to gain a 5-2 lead after a rough seventh game.
"I felt like in the fifth I was going to need a break or two with the way I was chunking my serve around," Roddick said. "With the way I was serving, he was going to get looks at my serve."
After Roddick held serve, Cilic used a forehand that clipped the line to push the match to the brink and then finished it when Roddick failed to land a backhand on a net approach.
Roddick was coming off a five-set win over 11th-seeded Chilean Fernando Gonzalez in which the American rallied from a two-sets-to-one deficit. His lone Grand Slam title came at the 2003 U.S. Open.
The first set was a battle of attrition, but Cilic finally broke serve to go ahead 6-5. A wide forehand by the Croat sent the set to a tiebreak, but Cilic won the final three points. the last one being a solid forehand winner down the line.
After the set, Roddick's trainer rubbed down the American's shoulder, causing a delay. Roddick also wanted to get his racquet re-strung.
"I felt it a little bit the other day," Roddick said of the shoulder. "I didn't hit yesterday. It felt pretty good today in warm-up and the first couple of games, but I aggravated something. From the first set I was pretty numb the bottom two fingers. I could hit it pretty hard, but had trouble controlling it."
The delay prior to the second set didn't help the American initially, even though Roddick broke first for a 2-1 lead. Cilic broke right back, the first of his four straight game victories. He used a soft backhand to the line for a break of serve and a 4-2 lead before finally ending the set with a powerful ace.

Murray is seeking a trip to his first-ever Aussie Open final. He was the 2008 U.S. Open runner-up to the great Federer.
The second set of the Murray-Nadal match was delayed for about 10 minutes due to an Australia Day fireworks celebration.
Roddick's renewed energy continued in the fourth as the American won the first five games, the last in that stretch being a drop shot to break at love. Cilic won the ensuing two games, but the Croat's return into the net pushed the match to a deciding set.
Cilic is now 2-1 lifetime against Roddick and has won their last two matchups.
The men's quarters will conclude here on Wednesday, when a top-ranked Federer meets sixth-seeded Russian Nikolay Davydenko and third-seeded Novak Djokovic faces 10th-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in a rematch of the 2008 Aussie Open final, which was won by Djokovic.
Federer should have his hands full with the surging Davydenko, as the speedy Russian has won their last two meetings, this after going 0-12 against the mighty Swiss. Davydenko stunned Federer at the exclusive eight-player ATP World Tour Finals back in November, and also surprised the Swiss superstar at an Aussie Open tune-up event in Doha earlier this month.
The hot Davydenko has won his last 13 matches, including a title in Doha earlier this month.
The 28-year-old Federer is the men's all-time leader with 15 major titles and currently holds the Wimbledon and French Open crowns.
Djokovic and Tsonga will meet for a seventh time, with the Frenchman holding a surprising 4-2 lifetime advantage. Tsonga has won four of their last five encounters.

Brock Lesnar will come back fight in summer|Brock Lesnar returns, no thanks to Canada
Lesnar, UFC President Dana White said, will fight the winner of an interim heavyweight title fight between Shane Carwin and Frank Mir March 27 in Newark, N.J.
"There's no signs of any problem with my stomach, I had another CT scan [Tuesday] just to be sure," Lesnar said.
Lesnar (4-1), who last fought by pummeling Mir at UFC 100 in July, recounted a harrowing six-month ordeal that caused him to pull out of two fights and spend many weeks resting at home and inside hospitals in Canada and Bismarck, N.D.
He said after an initial diagnosis of mononucleosis, he went hunting in Canada and awoke one morning with "severe stomach pain," going into shock with a 104-degree temperature. He said he was then diagnosed with the severe intestinal infection.
"I had a hole in my stomach," he told ESPN, adding that doctors told him they were prepared to conduct an operation that would force him to wear a colostomy bag and end his fighting career. "But I started to heal in the eight-hour [pre-surgery] mark and avoided surgery."
He said he lost 40 pounds, however, relying on intravenous feeding.
"I would be out, I didn't know how long, but I didn't want surgery," he said.
White said Lesnar relied on holistic medicine and ate healthy, and Lesnar said he ultimately regained 30 pounds and went for a Jan. 5 checkup that found his stomach was fine.
"It's been a crazy ride," White said.
"The doctors say there's no risk to my career; I believe the mind is a powerful thing," Lesnar said. "When you have life taken away, laying in a hospital bed, to sit there not having any control of anything ... I've always been in control."
Lesnar then reminded White he is the UFC heavyweight champion, and expressed enthusiasm about fighting again, most likely against the Mir-Carwin winner. Should any problem occur, White said he would have Lesnar make his next title defense against the winner of next month's Cain Velasquez-Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira fight.
Nevertheless, he cancelled his upcoming title fight and headed off to western Canada on a hunting trip.
“I got up there and still didn’t feel right. I had severe stomach pain. And one night I woke up and I was in severe shock,” Lesnar said. “I had 104 (F) temperature and felt like I was shot in the guts. I went to the hospital in Canada, realized quickly that I had to get out of Canadian health care and get down to Bismarck (North Dakota), into the United States.”
Apparently, the irony of rushing back to the place where he’d first been misdiagnosed was lost on the 265 lb. wrestler.
However, this time, he said they got it right – telling him he had a ruptured diverticuli.
“I had a hole in my stomach,” Lesnar said.
He told ESPN that it was touch-and-go for weeks as to whether he would need to have a portion or all of his colon removed, ending his athletic career. He says his 11-day stay in hospital cost him 40 lbs. of body weight.
Then, in the new year, a “miracle.”
“(The doctors) were dumbfounded,” Lesnar said. “They couldn’t find any signs of any trouble with my stomach.
“I’ve had three or four different opinions. I’ve had colonoscopies (sic) done and CT scans done. There’s literally no sign of anything even existing in there,” Lesnar said. “I believe that the mind is a powerful thing.”
His boss, White, echoed the miracle theme. He said that the current plan is to have heavyweight contenders Shane Carwin and Frank Mir fight in March for an interim heavyweight champion designation. The winner will fight Lesnar in “the summer,” according to White.
“It’s been a crazy ride,” White said.

Bears DE Gaines Adams dies hospital, at 26

Greenwood County coroner Jim Coursey told WYFF-TV that Adams was pronounced dead at Self Regional Hospital. He also told the station that Adams appeared to be in good health before his passing.
An autopsy was scheduled for Sunday.
He appeared in 15 games last season with the Bears and Bucs and recorded one sack.
Adams is the second NFL player to die in as many months, following the passing of former Bengals WR Chris Henry in December.

Cowboys Put Away Eagles on late rally | Eagles, Cowboys put seasons on line tonight
Cowboys Put Away

They may not have invented the sport around here, but they like to think they have mastered it on every level — from high school to the elite professional product, which is presented as a spectacle.
So they climbed back on their high horses Saturday after their Cowboys impressively defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, 34-14, in a National Football Conference wild-card game.
It was the first postseason victory for Dallas since 1996. The Cowboys, who will visit Minnesota next week, need three more victories to capture their first Super Bowl title since the 1995-96 season.
But if any of the 92,951 fans left Cowboys Stadium, their glittering new palace, dreaming about a championship, quarterback Tony Romo and Coach Wade Phillips were not about to discourage them.
“We definitely wouldn’t be in this position if we didn’t think we were capable of such things,” Romo said. “You’ve got to be thinking you have a chance. The tournament’s begun and we’re off to a good start.”

They think big here — big as the gigantic video screens looming over the field, big as the smiles and the hair on the dancing cheerleaders who decorate the video during almost every timeout.
After his echoes faded, the Cowboys took a 7-0 lead and followed it with a play that seemed to suggest, in microcosm, the tone of the night.

This drew loud cheers from the fans, and Harris left the game with an injury.
Although the Eagles scored a touchdown on the ensuing drive — a 76-yard pass-and-run play from Michael Vick to Jeremy Maclin — the kickoff hit left an impression that the Cowboys were about to whip their visitors in intimidating fashion.
And they did. The Cowboys jarred two fumbles out of the grasp of the Eagles, who looked like the best team in the N.F.L. until last week, when the Cowboys shut them out, 24-0, in their final game of the regular season.
The Dallas defense seemed to rattle Donovan McNabb, the veteran Philadelphia quarterback, who threw one interception and completed 19 of 37 passes for 230 yards while under constant pressure.
The early ouster of the Eagles is certain to raise questions in Philadelphia about the performance and future of both McNabb and Coach Andy Reid.
“Obviously, right now is not that time to talk about my future,” McNabb said. “There were a lot of things that we did wrong.”
Over the long term, both have helped elevate the Eagles to among the league’s elite teams. But the failure to win a Super Bowl will leave their demanding fans wondering whether McNabb and Reid can accomplish that objective.
Reid said his team was outplayed and outcoached.
“When you get your tail kicked, it’s not a great feeling,” Reid said. “I wasn’t expecting it. I saw us slip as a football team in the last two weeks.”
Other, younger Eagles spoke more bluntly. One was DeSean Jackson, the brilliant receiver who caught only three passes for 14 yards, one of them a 4-yard touchdown with 90 seconds left.
“It’s embarrassing,” Jackson said. “We never planned to lose like this. We kept shooting ourselves in the foot. It’s going to be a long off-season.”
This was Dallas’s third victory against Philadelphia in three games this season. The Cowboys led at halftime, 27-7, but another signature moment came late in the third quarter.
It was a 73-yard touchdown run by Felix Jones that gave the Cowboys a 34-7 lead. Because Marion Barber was hampered by a bruised leg, Jones got 16 carries and gained 148 yards.
Romo completed 23 of 35 passes for 244 yards and 2 touchdowns. If the Cowboys have a statistic to worry about, it could be the 14 penalties for 112 yards.
“We still have to clean up some stuff,” Romo said. “We still have a long way to go.”
In landslide vote, Peyton Manning wins record fourth NFL MVP award
Peyton Manning

He received 39½ votes to 7½ for Drew Brees of New Orleans. Only four players - all quarterbacks - earned votes. The other two were Philip Rivers of San Diego (two) and Brett Favre of Minnesota (one).
Manning also won in 2003, 2004 and 2008, breaking a tie with Favre at three MVPs.
"I'm very humbled and grateful to be honoured with this award and I really feel like it is a reflection of our team," said Manning, who guided the Colts to a 14-0 record before they rested starters in the second half of two games and finished 14-2.
"I have to believe that starting 14-0 and having seven comeback wins has a lot to do with this award coming our way, and I'm very grateful to all the players and the coaches and our fans, who were a big part of it. There were a number of other extremely deserving candidates."
The Colts play in the divisional round next week and have home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. The Super Bowl is Feb. 7 in Miami, the same place they won it three years ago.
Manning threw for 4,500 and 33 touchdowns this season. Perhaps most impressive, he led the Colts to all those comeback victories. The 33-year-old quarterback has started every game in his career, 192 in the regular season and 15 in the playoffs.
He is durable and dynamic, dependable and decisive. In other words, most valuable.
"He's been such a highly accomplished performer year in and year out. Just when you think you've seen his best, he improves upon it," said Jim Caldwell, who succeeded Tony Dungy as coach and benefited from the same kind of performances Manning gave Dungy. "This year is one of those in terms of when you look at his numbers and how he's been able to play consistently well over a long period of time. It's been remarkable.
"I think a lot of it has to do with his drive. He just has an innate sort of will to excel. He never gets bored with it. That, I think, is highly unusual."

"I'm not comfortable having my name on that list or drawing comparisons to those guys," Manning said Saturday. "I think all of those people would probably echo the sentiments that I had before about being very humbled, especially in football which I think is the ultimate team game."
Manning, the 2007 Super Bowl MVP when he won his only league championship, noted the support and stability he's enjoyed in his career.
"I've been the beneficiary of having the same owner, the same team president all four times," he said. "I've received great coaching from our head coaches and assistants and a number of different teammates who have all had a huge impact on me."
But even when Dungy turned over the coaching to Caldwell last year, Manning and the Colts adapted.
"This off-season brought more change than any other year around here," he said. "We have had that consistency till this year, with losing a head coach and Marvin (Harrison), sort of replacing by committee with a group of young receivers.
"I think dealing with those changes says a lot."
Manning lost his longtime favourite receiver, Harrison, this season. Harrison's replacement, Anthony Gonzalez, went down with a right knee injury in the opener.
Manning simply turned to his latest fave, Reggie Wayne, who had 100 catches for 1,264 yards and 10 touchdowns. And to Dallas Clark, who joined Tony Gonzalez as the only tight ends with 100 receptions in a season when he grabbed exactly that many for 1,106 yards and 10 scores.
Plus, Austin Collie tied for the rookie lead in receptions with 60 and scored seven times. Pierre Garcon, nurtured in dozens of passing sessions with Manning, developed into a prime deep threat and averaged 16.3 yards on 47 catches, with four TDs.
"What he's been able to do this year with Pierre and Austin - and obviously Dallas had a year that will go down in the record books," linebacker and defensive captain Gary Brackett said. "And I think it really says something when you can work young guys like that."

Alabama No. 1 in Final finishes second (see all rankings)
Alabama Football




Only Notre Dame has more AP national championships, with eight. Oklahoma also has seven.
The Crimson Tide (14-0) hadn't finished No. 1 since 1992, but in just three seasons under coach Nick Saban, the South's most storied program has returned to greatness.
"Third year and we're already national champions?" Alabama nose guard Terrence Cody said. "That's hard to believe."
Texas (13-1) is No. 2 in the Top 25 and Florida (13-1), last season's champion, was third.
The only other unbeaten team in the nation, Boise State (14-0), wound up fourth. It was the Broncos' best finish in the AP poll. Back in 2006, the last time Boise State busted the BCS and went undefeated, the Broncos ended up fifth in the final rankings.
Only four points separated Florida and Boise State.
The USA Today coaches' poll had the same top five as the AP, but the gap between No. 3 Florida and No. 4 Boise State was 11 points.
The Tide is the fourth straight Southeastern Conference team to win the national title. No league had ever captured three straight before last season. Alabama is the first unanimous No. 1 in the final Top 25 since Texas in 2005.
Ohio State finished fifth followed by TCU, Iowa, Cincinnati, Penn State and Virginia Tech, giving the Big Ten three top 10 teams, the most of any league.
Poor postseason showings in recent years have hurt the Big Ten's reputation nationally, but this season Ohio State and Iowa won BCS games as underdogs and Penn State beat LSU in the Capital One Bowl.
Pac-10 champion Oregon starts the second 10, followed by BYU, ACC champion Georgia Tech, Nebraska and Pittsburgh.
For the Cornhuskers, it's the best final ranking since 2001, when they finished eighth.
No. 15 Pittsburgh, along with Wisconsin, Utah, LSU, Miami and Mississippi complete the top 20. The Hurricanes hadn't finished a season ranked this high since they were No. 17 after the 2005 season.
The final five were Texas Tech, Southern California, Central Michigan, Clemson and West Virginia.
But in the late 1990s and earlier this decade there were some lean — and at times embarrassingly bad — seasons for Alabama.
The Tide lured Saban away from the NFL after the 2006 season. He had 'Bama back in the national title hunt last season and completed the journey this season.
"I'll tell you what I told the team," Saban said, "that I've never been prouder of a group of guys for their resiliency, their buy-in, their hard work, the blood, sweat and tears that they put in to accomplish what they accomplished this season."
