LONDON -- Andy Murray chided himself early in his match against Stan Wawrinka after a loose shot.Why would you rush when youve had 14 hours to get ready? he shouted.Thankfully for most of the home crowd inside the O2 Arena, Murray didnt put them through a marathon roller coaster like his previous win against Kei Nishikori, a three-set epic that was the longest three-set match in Tour Finals history.Here he was far more composed and did what he needed to do early by winning the first set, guaranteeing his place in the season-finale semifinals for the first time since 2012. Murray wasnt about to put his feet up, though -- he went on to beat Wawrinka 6-4, 6-2 and equalled his career-best win streak of 22 matches.Stans one of the best players in the world, Murray said on court. When he plays his best tennis, hes unplayable. When the ball was there to be attacked I did it. I played a very solid match.He has won four titles in that time and dropped just five sets, his ruthless consistency taking him to the No. 1 ranking for the first time and dethroning Novak Djokovic after 122 consecutive weeks.The two men remain on course to meet in what would be a dream curtain closer Sunday -- it would be the first time in the history of the Tour Finals where the two finalists would not only be playing for the championship but the year-end No. 1 ranking.But first up for Murray is Milos Raonic, in a repeat of the Wimbledon final. Hes beaten the Canadian the last seven times they have played, though Raonic has had an extra days rest.I dont think it should have too much of an impact, Murray told a news conference.Thankfully todays match was quick. In the match with Kei, I played three hours and 20 minutes. Definitely would have had an impact on the next days match. Luckily I had a days break after the match with Kei.Djokovic will face Nishikori Saturday -- the Japanese player was already guranateed a semifinal spot before losing to Marin Cilic 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 Friday evening, their match rendered a dead rubber with Murray winning in straight setsWawrinka had qualified from his group for the last three years, and the equation was simple for him Friday -- win or he was definitely going home.Murray guaranteed he would be hanging around for the weekend when he took the first set in 48 minutes.Wawrinka made him fight for it -- the US Open champ saved three set points at 5-3 down. Wawrinka had made a fearsome start, too, hitting Murray off the court the first few games, the Scots timing still not right at the O2 Arena.I weathered the early storm a little bit, said Murray. Stan came out hitting the ball huge. He was hitting a lot of winners, a lot of aces. But once I got through the early part of the match, I started to create chances in most of his service games.The momentum changed when Murray took the first break point of the match in the seventh game of the opening set. Wawrinka could only slam his racket down in disgust.Wawrinka possesses the firepower to blast anyone off the court but his defence is not up to Murrays level and the unforced errors started to flow -- 26 for the Swiss in total over one hour, 26 minutes.The most drama Murray faced in the second set, in which he raced into a 4-0 lead, was when he broke a string serving for the match at 5-2.The first set was tight, there werent really many chances either way, Murray added. The second set Id already qualified. Stan needed to win so it was a bit easier for me to player freer than him. Air Max Tn Ultra Plus .ca.

LOUIS -- St. The opening month of the Premier League campaign was certainly a slog for Crystal Palace, but as the calendar flipped to September, so too have the Eagles fortunes.The south London outfit are aiming for their second consecutive league victory when they welcome Stoke City to Selhurst Park on Sunday.The Eagles (1-1-2) finally got things moving in the right direction with a 2-1 victory over new boys Middlesbrough last time. Christian Benteke opened the scoring for Palace, but it was quickly rebuffed through a goal by Daniel Ayala. The winning strike then came from Wilfried Zaha, who assisted on the opening score, in the 47th minute.Manager Alan Pardew was pleased with his sides performance.It was very similar to the other games that weve had in this division this year as it was so tight and the breaks went our way, he said. I was pleased with the first 20 minutes of each half and I felt that we controlled those periods. But then maybe because we hadnt won for a while we sat back towards the end of the first half.The manager also made mention of Bentekes first goal.I think its very important for a striker to get that first goal, Pardew said. And as soon as the cross came in you knew. ... I dont think any defender can defend against him in that position when hes coming on the baack of you like that.ddddddddddddMidfielder Joe Ledley echoed his managers thoughts on the victory.It was important to get three points after we have had a slow start but it is still early days, Ledley said.While Palace enter this contest riding a moderate level of confidence, Stoke City (0-1-3) are struggling mightily for form. The Potters find themselves at the foot of the table in the early goings.Stoke were off to a decent start with an opening draw against Middlesbrough, but their ensuing struggles continued with a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur last week. That result left Stoke manager Mark Hughes sufficiently frustrated with his teams performance.It is difficult when you concede the first goal at home because there is an onus on you to chase the game somewhat, Hughes said. We arent very good at the moment to be perfectly honest and we are allowing ourselves to get caught by being too open.You have got to give yourself a foothold in the game, keep a foothold in the game and then that will allow you the chances to get back on terms. When momentum starts to shift away from you then you have to recognize that and ride it out.
