| Andy Murray returns to action at the Miami Open with a third round clash against Grigor Dimitrov tonight, live on Sky Sports from 8pm [BST]. The world No 2 started his title challenge with a straight sets win over Denis Istomin and will be hoping to extend his winning record against Dimitrov at the tournament in Florida.Back in 2014, the Bulgarian ended Murrays defence of his Wimbledon title, but the Scot has dealt impressively with Dimitrov since then, winning all three of their encounters. In their most recent meeting, Murray fought back from a set down to claim a 4-6 7-6 7-5 victory at the Cincinnati Masters. Murray holds a 6-2 head-to-head record over the Bulgarian Future Murray opponent Gael Monfils could be Murrays next opponent If Murray progresses, he will face either 16th seed Gael Monfils or Pablo Cuevas in the fourth round.Monfils, a quarter-finalist at Indian Wells, could have his hands full against the in-form Cuevas, who has already claimed two titles in Brazil this year.Sixth seed Kei Nishikori continues his title challenge against Alexandr Dolgopolov, while ninth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga takes on Roberto Bautista Agut, and Indian Wells finalist Milos Raonic is pitted against Jack Sock. Nick Kyrgios faces American qualifier Tim Smyczek Controversial Australian Nick Kyrgios also takes to the court as he faces American qualifier Tim Smyczek.He was scolded for swearing at Indian Wells last week, which was the latest in a list of misdemeanours, but made a low-key appearance while cruising to a straight sets win over Marcos Baghdatis in the first round. Possible Upset? Pablo Cuevas will be looking to upset flamboyant Frenchman Monfils Cuevas claimed a recent win over Rafael Nadal and the Uruguayan could spring a surprise against the erratic Monfils.In case you missed it Novak Djokovic is aiming for a hat-trick of Miami titles Novak Djokovic advanced to the fourth round of the Miami Open with a comfortable 6-4 6-1 win over Portugals Joao Sousa.Two-time defending champion Djokovic, trying to match Andre Agassis record of six career Miami titles, needed only 78 minutes to win his 12th match in a row at the hardcourt event and 26th in his past 27 Miami starts.

For less than double that, the Seahawks pay for their entire starting defence. With some expert drafting and a few selective forays into free agency, Seattle built a dominant unit thats also inexpensive, with the starting 11 costing under $34 million. Its a young defence, too, and thats a major reason its so affordable. Of the 18 players who have started at least one game this season, six were drafted by the Seahawks in 2011 or later, which means theyre still on their very reasonable rookie contracts. Where Seattle has spent money is on the defensive line, because depth there is a major priority. Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett were signed as free agents during the off-season for an $8.5 million tab; neither is expected to start in Sundays Super Bowl, but both are key parts of the rotation. "The nice part about working here is we have a real style about how we want to play," defensive co-ordinator Dan Quinn said. "They know how to bring the players in." After coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider were hired in early 2010, one of their first big moves was to trade for Chris Clemons. They wanted him for the "LEO" defensive end position in their hybrid 4-3 defensive scheme, the weakside rusher who sometimes plays with his hand off the ground. Their style has alllowed the Seahawks to find great value with players who might not fit into many other teams systems.dddddddddddd Length and speed are attributes Quinn covets at all positions, confident the coaching staff can develop guys with raw skills into productive starters. Never was this truer than the 2011 draft. The Seahawks had seven picks in the final three rounds and used all but one on defensive players. "Overall, I think we were able to really improve the athleticism and speed of our team and then we were able to do some things up front from a strength and toughness standpoint," Schneider said that day. He would prove to be right. Seattle got its two current starting cornerbacks in the fifth (Richard Sherman) and sixth (Byron Maxwell) rounds. The Seahawks also added two linebackers who have started this season: K.J. Wright in the fourth and Malcolm Smith in the seventh. For all the late-round success, Seattle also hasnt whiffed when taking defensive players at the start of the draft. The Seahawks two defensive first-round picks in the last five years are both starters: linebacker Bruce Irvin (2012) and safety Earl Thomas (2010). But whats been crucial, Quinn said, is a franchise philosophy to give players an equal chance no matter how much theyre paid. "Lets not worry about where they were drafted or how they got here," he said. "How far can we take them?" ' ' ' |
