LONDON -- Andy Murray was denied his 20th successive win on grass when he was beaten 7-6 (10), 6-2 by Radek Stepanek in the third round at Queens Club on Thursday. Brooklyn Nets Jerseys . Murray, the defending champion and No. 3 seed, claimed his first match win at Queens in 2005 and went on to win the Wimbledon warmup three times. But he failed to take advantage of eight set points after leading the first-set tiebreaker 6-2, and Stepanek survived to convert with his second set point. A break to lead 1-0 in the second set put Stepanek firmly on the road to victory, and a further break to lead 5-2 left him serving for only his second win over Murray in seven meetings. Murrays last defeat on grass was against Roger Federer in the 2012 Wimbledon final. Since then, he had won the 2012 London Olympics which was played at Wimbledon, and the 2013 Queens and Wimbledon titles. "I have only got myself to blame that I lost the first set," Murray said. "I dont know how many set points I had, but quite a lot of them were on my serve. On this surface, especially, you shouldnt really be losing sets like that. For me, thats whats disappointing really about the match. "And then, yeah, unfortunately got broke in the first game of the second set. I couldnt quite get it back." Despite his defeat, the Roland Garros semifinalist has no concerns as he heads toward the defence of his Wimbledon title. "I dont think so," he said. "I need to spend time on the courts practicing some things. You know, the difference between this year and last year is I played a lot of matches the last couple of weeks at the French Open. Since the Monday before the French Open, I have played every single day bar one up to now. "Last year, I probably had about a week, 10 days preparation on the grass before I started here. This year, I had two days. Im going to take a couple of days off, watch some of the World Cup." Top seed and Australian Open champion Stanislas Wawrinka took just 50 minutes to ease past American Sam Querrey 6-2, 6-2, and second-seeded Tomas Berdych overcame solid resistance from Frenchman Adrian Mannarino, winning 7-6 (2), 6-4. Mannarino fought off 17 break points, including four set points at 6-5 in the first set, before Berdych broke on his 18th break point to lead 2-1 in the second. Berdych will next face Feliciano Lopez after the Spanish left-hander defeated Frenchman Kenny De Schepper 7-6 (3), 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3) in a match with no breaks of serve. Fifth seed and 2011 finalist Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was beaten 6-2, 6-4 by Marinko Matosevic. The Australian, who reached the final of a grass-court challenger last week and upset 2012 champion Marin Cilic in the first round, is coached by Hall of Famer Mark Woodforde There were victories, too, for fourth-seeded Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria, who defeated Edouard Roger-Vasselin of France 7-6 (3), 6-4, and seventh-seeded South African Kevin Anderson who edged Ukraines Sergiy Stakhovsky 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (4). Eighth seed Alexandr Dolgopolov of Ukraine advanced 6-4, 4-2 when Jarkko Nieminen of Finland retired injured. Kenneth Faried Jersey . Rob Klinkhammer and Mikkel Boedker scored 63 seconds apart in the first period for the Coyotes, who handed the Kings their third straight loss and took over sole possession of eighth place in the Western Conference. Mike Smith made 36 saves. Julius Erving Nets Jersey . The Cubs made the moves before Thursdays game against Arizona. They promoted left-hander Zac Rosscup and right-hander Neil Ramirez from Triple-A Iowa and optioned righty Blake Parker to their top minor league team. https://www.netsrookiesshop.com/Jaylen-Hands-City-Edition-Jersey/ . With the final four being arguably the four best – and most complete – teams from the regular season, picking a winner is not as easy as it sounds.VANCOUVER -- Travis Lulay threw for a touchdown and ran for another as the B.C. Lions beat the Montreal Alouettes 36-14 in CFL action Sunday. B.C. improved to 7-4 while avenging a last-second loss in Montreal on Aug. 22. The Alouettes, who were held scoreless in the first half and trailed throughout, fell to 4-7. Montreal suffered its 13th loss in its last 14 visits to Vancouver. Shawn Gore caught Lulays touchdown pass while Andrew Harris scored on a one-yard run. Marco Iannuzzi caught a TD pass from B.C. backup quarterback Thomas DeMarco late in the game. It was the first scoring strike of DeMarcos two-year CFL career. B.C.s other points came on a conceded safety and Paul McCallums two field goals and four converts. Montreals points came on touchdown receptions by S.J. Green and Brandon London. Both TD passes were thrown by Josh Neiswander, the third Alouettes quarterback used in the game. The Als recovered two fumbles, by Lulay and Harris, and also had an interception in the first half, but could not convert the turnovers into decent field position, let alone points. Jerald Browns interception was hampered by two unnecessary roughness penalties on the play. On one, Shea Emry unwisely nailed Lulay from behind as he was running down field. The Lions got on the scoreboard first as Montreal punter Sean Whyte conceded a safety. B.C. went 5-0 on a Paul McCallum 22-yard field goal in the first quarter increased its lead to 8-0 on another in the second quarter from 43 yards. After McCallums second field goal, Alouettes starting quarterback Jesse Marsh, who had burned the Lions in a last-second loss in Montreal in their previous meeting Aug. 22, was pulled in favour of Troy Smith, who won the 2006 Heisman Trophy. But Smith did little on only two running plays before B.C. got the ball again, and would be replaced by Marsh soon afterwards. Lulay completed a 58-yard pass to Courtney Taylor, who managed to stay in bounds after Chip Cox turned him around on the sideline but could not bring him down. One play later, Lulay threw a 14-yard touchdown strike to Gore, staking the Lions to a 15-0 lead. Two plays later, Jerome Messam dropped the ball on a forced fumble and B.C.s Cord Parks recovered. The Als gained a reprieve when Harris fumbled on a reverse on third-and-one to nullify a B.C. scoring drive with 28 seconds before half-time. But the Als ran out of time before they could get in scoring range. Lulay completed 18 of 22 passes in the first halff for 198 yards. Kyrie Irving Jersey. Marsh was good on just five of 11 for 54 yards. Lulays second interception of the game, by Mike Eden, set up Montreals first points late in the third quarter. Neiswander connected with Green on a 14-yard touchdown pass to Green. But more miscues on the Als next offensive series, in the closing seconds of the third quarter, aided B.C.s cause. Adam Bighill intercepted a Neiswander pass and returned it 44 yards. Messam brought him down shortly before the goal-line with a horse-collar tackle, and the penalty gave B.C. the ball at the Montreal one-yard-line. Harris promptly took a Lulay hand-off into the end zone, enabling the Lions to go up 22-7. Another Neiswander interception cost the Als again with just under five minutes gone in the fourth quarter as Marsh intercepted a pass thrown behind the receiver and took it into the end zone. However, Eric Taylor was called on an illegal block on the play, so B.C. had to settle for possession on Montreals three yard-line. After getting sacked on the next play, Lulay took the ball into the end zone to stake B.C. to a 29-7 advantage. Montreal closed the gap to 29-14 on its next series after Neiswander threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to London. But with the outcome not appearing in doubt, B.C. coach Mike Benevides decided to pull Lulay, who was shaken up when hit while scoring his touchdown. DeMarco reached his personal milestone as he found Iannuzzi for a 14-yard touchdown pass. Notes: Defensive lineman Chris Wilson played his first game for B.C. after signing as free agent last week. Its Wilsons second stint with the Lions. ... CFL commissioner Mark Cohon attended the game as part of a tour of CFL cities that he has been on lately. He said discussions on a new collective bargaining agreement with players will begin next spring. The current one is due to expire the day before training camps open. Cohon again faced questions about the CFLs handling of concussions in wake of the NFLs $765-million settlement of a lawsuit with former players. Contending protocols have long been in place, he said player safety remains an ongoing agenda item at CFL board of governors meetings. ... Legendary Lions receiver Willie Fleming and former radio play-by-play broadcaster J. Paul McConnell were among former B.C. greats honoured at half-time for their induction into the B.C. Football Hall of Fame. McConnell now lives in France and made the trip from Europe for the occasion. ' ' '
