Andy Murray marked reaching the summit of world tennis by beating big-serving American John Isner in three hard-fought sets in the BNP Paribas Masters final in Paris to secure his eighth ATP Tour title of the season.The 29-year-old Scot, already assured of the No. 1 spot for the first time in his career before Sundays 6-3 6-7 (4/7) 6-4 win against 6ft 10 in Isner, will now prepare for next weeks World Tour Finals at the O2 Arena in London.Murray will enter the season-ending showpiece event for the worlds top eight players 405 points ahead of Novak Djokovic, who had spent 122 consecutive weeks as No. 1 from July 2014 before his quarterfinal defeat in Paris to Marin Cilic.Im not so much thinking about finishing the year as world No. 1, Murray told Sky Sports after his victory over Isner in two hours and 18 minutes.I wanted to try and get there if possible, but I want to just play well at the O2.I feel like some of the years there Ive not played my best tennis, maybe not done myself justice, so I want to go and play good tennis.It doesnt guarantee winning against the best players in the world, but I dont want to finish the year on a bad note having not played well there.So Ill get a few days rest now and start preparing for that and hopefully finish well.Isner produced some inspired tennis, especially in the second set, but Murray was clinical, saving his best moments for the biggest points.The Briton clinched his only break points in the first and third sets at the first attempts to seal the 43rd tour-level title of his career and his 14th ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title.Murray paid tribute to his family and support team after his victory.To my team and all of my family, who are watching back home, this has been an incredible journey for me to get to the top of the rankings, I couldnt have done it without you, he said.Thanks to them for all their hard work. They make a lot of sacrifices to allow me to compete and travel the world.A big thank you to all of you and Ill keep working to keep getting better.Murray said he did not feel more nervous than usual after Milos Raonics withdrawal from their scheduled semifinal clash on Saturday due to a leg injury had seen the Scot overhaul Djokovic at the top of the rankings.I actually felt pretty good, he added. I was nervous before the match, I had a good practice this morning.I obviously wanted to come out and try and win this event. Ive never won here before.It was a tournament, before last year, that Id always struggled at. Id never got past the quarterfinals so I wanted to try and win and managed to and I want to keep going.Its been a great year and I want to try and finish it as well as I can. Andrew Triggs Jersey .

And thats on two fronts.Miami remained in southern California after defeating the San Diego Chargers on Sunday 31-24 for their initial road win of the season. The Dolphins will practice in north San Diego County in preparation for this weeks game against the Los Angeles Rams.The Dolphins (5-4) are also nestled above .500 for the first time in rookie coach Adam Gases short tenure. A four-game winning streak has compensated for a 1-4 start, and, just maybe, surging Miami can make the postseason.Ive never, ever been one to really talk about (that) in my career, Gase said. Ive always been worried about the week we are involved in.I think if you do things right enough times, you get opportunities to keep playing. So that is how I look at it. More times than not, when you talk about it, that is when it doesnt happen.Gase did speak on Branden Albert. The left tackle exited Sundays game after dislocating his left wrist, but returned while wearing a brace.Were still going through a little bit of our medical process to figure out what exactly is going to happen as far as the exact diagnosis, and if we are going to be able to get him back this week, Gase said. We got to go through some stuff still. It is swollen right now, so we just have to see how the week progresses.Albert didnt seem compromised playing with the injury. But Gase said Albert is seeing a hand specialist and his status isnt clear.We have to go through all those little steps just to make sure that we handle everything the right way, Gase said. So if he can go, its for the entire . the rest of the season.Miami is in the playoff conversation thaanks to the improved play of quarterback Ryan Tannehill, running back Jay Ajayis emergence, and a secondary that forced four turnovers Sunday.ddddddddddddGase sensed his team had turned a corner about a month ago. In the run-up to beating the Steelers 30-15 on Oct. 16, Gase saw his squad in a new light.That Pittsburgh week I felt something different, Gase said. I felt like the defense was really playing well, but we were struggling obviously, but that week felt different. There was some confidence there, especially at the end of the week, that we were going to play well.That was the push-off point for a four-game run that has the Dolphins two games shy of the AFC East-leading New England Patriots (7-2).(Gase) just stayed consistent with the message to do it right and focus on the details, linebacker Jelani Jenkins said. I think its really, really been a trust in the system. Focus on the details and try to treat every week as a new week.Added Gase: Ive seen a lot of veteran players take control of our team. Ive seen some guys that maybe we did not think were going to be huge contributors taking leadership-type roles and all of a sudden they are vaulted into a position where they are making plays. Its been great to see guys step forward and make plays and lead.Will it all lead to the playoffs?I think that is way too far ahead to think about right now, safety Isa Abdul-Quddus said. Were still in middle of season ... we need to focus on the Rams and to get that win.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Hockey Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys China Wholesale Baseball Jerseys China Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys Near Me Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic MLB Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Throwback Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
