Murray, Dimitrov To Face Off In Wimbledon QFs

WIMBLEDON 2014

Wimbledon, Great Britain

by ATP Staff

|

08.06.1914

Andy Murray is into his seventh consecutive Wimbledon quarter-final.

Defending champion Andy Murray advanced to the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the seventh year in a row on Monday as he defeated Kevin Anderson in straight sets. The players were escorted back to the locker room for 27 minutes with Murray leading 3-0 in the second set as rain caused the Centre Court roof to close. While Murray was able to return and close out victory, his quarter-final counterparts, Grigor Dimitrov and Leonardo Mayer playing on No. 1 Court, are still waiting out the rain delay, with Dimitrov up 6-4, 6-5 on serve in the second set. The third-seeded Murray is yet to drop a set in four matches at The Championships. The 27-year-old Murray ended Great Britain's 77-year wait for a homegrown male Wimbledon champion last year as he beat Novak Djokovic in the final to lift his second Grand Slam championship trophy. The Dunblane native had been runner-up to Roger Federer in 2012 and has a 41-7 event record.

Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down: The Week After

Lleyton Hewitt chopped down Ivo Karlovic in a third-set tiebreaker to win Newport for the first time. (Photo by Ben Solomon)

This wasn't a great week to try and make a statement by winning or doing far better than expected at a tournament. That was because of the Wimbledon 'hangover' effect, a particularly insidious condition now that the intrepid (or is it insane?) fan can consume practically the entire day's activities from SW19 on one device or another.

It was also the crucial, final week of World Cup, featuring two semifinals and the final. The Tour de France was well underway, and there also was big news for basketball fans wondering about the landing sites for a few superstar NBA free agents.

All in all, it was pretty easy to forget that tennis never sleeps, and that there were tour events in Bad Gastein, Bucharest, Stuttgart, Bastad, and Newport.

So without further ado, let's start flexing our thumbs.

Lleyton Hewitt and Ivo Karlovic are a combined 68 years and 10 months old. Yet the two contested the Newport final on what might be termed the ultimate young man's playing surface-low-bouncing and slick grass.

Hewitt won it after a bitter, two-and-a-half hour battle in gusty winds, 6-3, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3). These two guys would play on the deck of a freighter in the north Atlantic in the midst of a nor'easter if someone put a trophy and check up on the bridge as the winner's prize.

One of the great things about this match was the contrast between Karlovic, who was 35 and ranked No. 31 going in, and 33-year-old No. 41 Hewitt. Karlovic bombs the big serve and likes to put away the volleys. Hewitt, a former No. 1 and Wimbledon champion, is one of the game's great scrambling counterpunchers. In addition, it was the oldest ATP final since Hong Kong in 1977, when Ken Rosewall and Tom Gorman were a combined 74 years and eight months. Rosewall, the Aussie icon, won.

Simona Halep and Monica Niculescu are nowhere near the ages of Karlovic and Hewitt, but unlike the two veteran warriors they hail from the same country, Romania. These two also get a joint thumbs up.

Playing at home is usually a tough proposition-just ask any Frenchman at Roland Garros-but Niculescu, who upset No. 8 seed Polona Hercog, gave top-seeded Halep more trouble than did any one else in the draw, forcing her to play three sets in an all-Romanian semi.

Halep won, 6-2, 4-6, 6-1, and went on to win the tournament, satisfying her sizable fan base. Solidly established at No. 3 in the world, Halep is now in a virtual deadlock with Maria Sharapova in the points race for the season-ending WTA Championships.

Andrea Petkovic and Shelby Rogers both also deserve a big, fat thumbs up (are we detecting a theme here?) for the show they put on at Bad Gastein, even if the break-filled, 6-3, 6-3 final, won by the No. 4 seed, was no great work of art.

But consider this about Petkovic: In an awkward, first-round rematch of this year's Charleston final, she managed to survive set points in both sets in a 7-6 (8), 7-5 win over Jana Cepelova. By the end of the week, Petkovic was the champ again.

The German vaulted from obscurity to budding stardom at this same tournament five years ago, winning it despite never before having won back-to-back WTA matches. Those were the same shoes Rogers found herself in at the start of last week as well. But the 21-year-old No. 147 qualified for Bad Gastein and then won back-to-back-to-back matches against No. 3 seed Carla Suarez Navarro, No. 7 seed Camila Giorgi, and No. 2 seed Sara Errani on her way to a place opposite Petkovic.

It would be remiss of me not to also mention another American who had a great win, Grace Min. The 20-year-old No. 138 almost made it an all-American final on red clay when she forced Petkovic to 6-4 in the third in the semis.

The USTA has upped the purse for the U.S. Open to $38.3 million, an increase of 11.7 percent (from last year's $34.3 million). The biggest raise will go to the singles champions, with the payout rising $400,000 to a nice, round $3 million, but first-round losers also get a nice bump, up $3,750 to $35,750.

I'm all for increased prize money, but it seems to me that the raise for the singles champs is excessive-especially when you consider how much additional income Grand Slam winners earn in endorsements and bonuses from sponsors. I'm also not convinced that the money is well spent on first-round losers. I'd rather see it go to second-round losers, giving the players greater incentive to advance. Too many first-round matches have been spoiled because showing up, taking the loss, and getting out of town with a cool 35 grand is just too tempting.

Boris Becker had a heck of a run starting last Sunday, when he justified Novak Djokovic 's decision to hire him as a kind of 'mental coach' at the start of the year. 'Boris contributed mostly to me from the psychological perspective, because of his broad experience,' Djokovic said after his win at Wimbledon.

The Serb added, 'We are different people and it took some time for us to get that understanding going and the right chemistry.' They clearly got the chemistry right by the time Wimbledon rolled around. To further sweeten his week, Becker's beloved German team demolished Brazil in the semis of the World Cup and went on to win the tournament over Argentina.

It's not easy to get attention for your tennis in Spain unless you're high up in the Top 10, but Roberto Bautista Agut is making a good effort. On Sunday in Stuttgart he won his second title in four weeks. Now No. 18, he's jumped 55 places on the computer this year, and his win over Lukas Rosol marked the sixth time in the last decade that a Spanish man has won the German event.

A long-deferred success usually is even sweeter than a quick one, as Pablo Cuevas can attest. Although the 28-year old from Uruguay was a Grand Slam champion before this week (he and Luis Horna had won the Roland Garros doubles in 2008), he had yet to play a singles final, partly because he was forced off the tour for two years shortly thereafter with knee injuries that required surgery.

But Cuevas never gave up on his dream of winning an ATP event, and he did it on Sunday at Bastad, Sweden, with a great deal of panache, waxing Joao Sousa, 6-2, 6-1. The champ said, 'As a kid you always dream big. I thought I was going to win before, but after nearly two years without playing, a long time without competition and without the chance of winning something, I'm glad to achieve it now.'

Chris Guccione, the 28-year-old from Australia who now lives in New York, helped Lleyton Hewitt to add another item to his already lengthy resume-a sweep of the singles and doubles in Newport. Curiously, 'Gooch' won his only other career ATP doubles title here at Newport as well. Must be something in the water, and there sure is a lot of it all around Newport.

And what the heck, while we've got our thumbs up, let's acknowledge the battlin' Plislova's. Karolina and Kristyna Pliskova, the WTA's aspiring answer to Bob and Mike Bryan-they even feature one righty and one lefty, Kristyna-won the doubles title in Bad Gastein.

Social Democrat MP Stanislav Huml of the Czech Republic suggested that Czech players who re-locate elsewhere be stripped of their citizenship. His remarks were aimed at Wimbledon singles champ Petra Kvitova, who has pulled up stakes and moved to Monaco-presumably to avoid high taxes.

While I somewhat agree with the substance of Huml's beef (more about that at another time), surely he must know that that particular horse done left the barn a long time ago. So many players, including Novak Djokovic and Czech Tomas Berdych, have decamped to the tax haven of Monaco that singling out Kvitova, or raising the issue at this moment, seems unfair. It may even have had something to do with the menacing threats made against Kvitova a few days ago. Thankfully, those came to naught and the author was arrested.

Possession 50% 50% 90 mins Carlisle United AFC Wimbledon

Last updated at 18:36

Adebayo Azeez scored a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser for AFC Wimbledon against 10-man Carlisle in an eight-goal thriller at Brunton Park.

The visitors led twice in the first half through Sean Rigg and Matt Tubbs but Kyle Dempsey's brace for Carlisle saw the teams go in level at the break.

Josh Gillies' angled shot put the hosts ahead and Brad Potts added a fourth.

Tubbs scored from the spot after Gary Dicker saw red for handball before Azeez headed in from close range.

Carlisle were playing their first league game since manager Graham Kavanagh was sacked, after last weekend's 5-0 defeat at Cambridge United.

The Bluebirds won 3-1 at Accrington Stanley in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy on Tuesday.

Pro-Tec S.I. Back Belt features a sacroiliac compression pad for targeted pain relief.

The ingenuity of this wraparound back support is a removable pad that provides compression right on your sacroiliac joint, the connection between your tailbone (sacrum) and pelvic bone (ilium), so the hips and sacrum become more stable, releasing muscle tension and reducing pain-causing strain to the lower back. Adjustable tension straps let you customize the compression on your S.I. joint. Thanks to strategically placed non-slip silicone gel strips, the contoured, low profile belt stays in place and you can comfortably wear under clothing… all day!

Wimbledon 2014: Marion Bartoli is still enjoying her fairytale ending

Marion Bartoli, above, will be in the royal box when Sabine Lisicki opens the women's tournament on Wimbledon's Centre Court on Tuesday. Photograph: Scott Heavey/AELTC/EPA

Marion Bartoli exposes her right shoulder to show some light blue tape holding it together and asks: 'Do you believe in miracles?'

That is how the reigning but retired Wimbledon champion - the first since Steffi Graf in 1997 not to defend her title - regards her victory over Sabine Lisicki in the most tearful final last year, when she concluded an extraordinary one-armed run through the draw without dropping a set, then decided with much regret and only cursory reflection that her career was over, at 28.

As for the future, she is full of hope for the new generation and concurs with the British No1 Heather Watson, who says: 'Now anybody can beat anybody.' Asked to name prospects, Bartoli said: 'There are many: obviously Eugenie Bouchard from Canada, Madison Keys; Garbine Muguruza. There are different players that can achieve great results on different surfaces.

'I think the new trends is these youngsters are not afraid to beat the big players, the established players. When you see Serena Williams going out 6-2, 6-2 to Muguruza in a grand slam [at the French Open], that's really not something we're used to seeing, maybe five or 10 years ago. A top player might go out in tough matches, very tough matches - but not like that.

'They're really coming out fearless. They just play and they believe every time they're on the court they're going to beat whoever is on the other side of the net. They say: 'Well, we're good enough and we're going to show the world'.' Just as she did last year.

As for that remarkable Wimbledon performance, from tentative start to emotional finish, Bartoli said: 'You have to understand that every morning I couldn't lift my arm. If I didn't have the help of my physio warming up my shoulder, I couldn't literally lift my arm.

'It was the same with my back and the same with my achilles. I really put all the energy and desire that I had inside my body into this championship. I felt it was my total last effort, and somehow I was able to do it.'Bartoli, guided in her farewell run by her French compatriot Amélie Mauresmo, Andy Murray's new coach, could not stop smiling on Sunday when asked to recall her triumph over adversity, odds and a field decimated by upsets.

She admits to watching her finishing ace 'every couple of days' on YouTube, and has a photo of the trophy on her phone.

The 29-year-old has confirmed she will be in the royal box when Lisicki opens the women's tournament on Centre Court on Tuesday. As for the notorious John Inverdale 'not a looker' episode last year, Bartoli and the BBC commentator have well and truly buried it.

'I have a very short-term memory,' she says with a laugh. 'This is my problem. We actually have a very good friendship. We just talked briefly about 'the situation'. He said he made a comment that he was not supposed to do, that he didn't meant it, whatever.

'You know what? Last year for me it was all about winning Wimbledon and making my dream a reality. That was all I was caring about. Just me having this pure joy inside me. I didn't really reflect at all on the comments he made.'

Bartoli added: 'It didn't affect me at all. I was just happy to have this trophy in my hand. I'm just extremely honoured to be still the 2013 Wimbledon champion and reigning champion. It was a fairytale that actually happened to my life last year. I finally got my title. I finished without dropping a set on an ace.

'It was just purely and simply like this. You could have told me David Beckham was waiting for me outside the room. I would say: 'I don't care because I just have the trophy.''

And she does. As for who might win it in her absence, Williams remains the clear favourite. She may have to beat Maria Sharapova, the French Open champion, in the quarter-finals - the Russian meets the British wildcard Samantha Murray in the first round - and there could be some serious resistance from Simona Halep before the final.

From the other side of the draw, Li Na, the No2 seed, looks best placed to challenge the American - if Serena gets there. The best player in the world sounded awfully world-weary the other day.

If all is not well, the upstarts identified by Bartoli will be more than keen for a rebellion.

Li Na Ousted at Wimbledon; Novak Djokovic Advances

WIMBLEDON, England - Second-seeded Li Na, the reigning Australian Open champion, was eliminated, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (5), by Barbora Zahlavova Strycova on Friday in the first major upset at Wimbledon.

Li, who had advanced to the quarterfinals three times before at Wimbledon, looked out of sorts for most of the third-round match on Court 1. She blew a set point in the second set.

In men's play, top-seeded Novak Djokovic overcame a hard fall in the third set to advance to the fourth round with a 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 Centre Court win over Gilles Simon.

Leading, 3-2, in the third set and with Simon serving, Djokovic lunged for a forehand shot and fell hard to the grass, rolling over and grabbing his upper left arm and grimacing in pain.

But after receiving medical treatment, he recovered to play out the match, breaking Simon's serve in the final game, his seventh break in the match.

'It was a sharp pain,' Djokovic said. 'It was an awkward fall. I was just hoping there is nothing really bad with the joint. Luckily there is nothing damaged. I could play. Just the muscle was quite sore because of the impact. All in all, I'm just glad to get through.'

In other men's play, No. 19 Feliciano López of Spain beat Ante Pavic of Croatia, 6-4, 7-6 (4), 7-5, in a second-round match, and Kevin Anderson beat Fabio Fognini of Italy, 4-6, 6-4, 2-6, 6-2, 6-1, to reach the fourth round.

Anderson, who won 10 of the last 11 games, is the first South African to advance to the fourth round at Wimbledon since Wayne Ferreira in 2000. He has reached the fourth round in his last three Grand Slams.

In a second-round match carried over from Thursday because of rain, Santiago Giraldo of Colombia beat No. 30 Marcel Granollers of Spain, 4-6, 7-6 (2), 1-6, 6-1, 7-5.

Earlier, the French Open finalist Simona Halep and the former No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki won their matches after rain delayed the start of play for about 30 minutes.

Halep, who lost the Roland Garros final to Maria Sharapova, advanced with a 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 win over Lesia Tsurenko of Ukraine in a second-round match. Wozniacki moved into the fourth round after a 6-3, 6-0 win over Ana Konjuh of Croatia.

No. 22-seeded Ekaterina Makarova of Russia beat Caroline Garcia of France, 7-5, 6-3, and Belinda Bencic of Switzerland defeated Victoria Duval of the United States, 6-4, 7-5.

Later Friday, the defending champion, Andy Murray, took a 15-match winning streak at the All England Club into the third round against 27th-seeded Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain.

Murray won six matches in a row at the place to earn a gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics, then seven in a row during Wimbledon last year on the way to the title, then another two this week.

Nick Kyrgios Topples No. 1 Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon

WIMBLEDON, England - Until the evening shadows fell on Centre Court Tuesday, the last time a teenager beat a No. 1 player at a Grand Slam event was at the 2005 French Open. The winner was Rafael Nadal, over Roger Federer, a couple of days after Nadal's 19th birthday.

Nick Kyrgios, a 19-year-old wild-card entrant from Australia, joined Nadal by beating him in the fourth round of Wimbledon.

All limbs and panache, Kyrgios battered Nadal with big serves, boundless reach and boyish enthusiasm. Ranked No. 144 in the world, but rising fast, Kyrgios looked immune to the pressure and fearless with his shots, building strength and confidence on the way to a 7-6 (5), 5-7, 7-6 (5), 6-3 victory.

He served quickly to unsettle Nadal and his notoriously slow pace of play, unleashing 130-mile-per-hour serves. He struck right-handed forehands with the loose motion of a man cracking a whip. He nonchalantly sent one Nadal shot back between his legs, raising his arms when it won the point.

Kyrgios won the final point with his 37th ace. He turned to friends and family, did a bit of a dance, and quickly wore an expression that said he was not surprised.

'You've got to believe you can win the match from the start, and I definitely believe that,' he said in a television interview moments after the match.

He had little time to celebrate, with the men's quarterfinals scheduled for Wednesday. Kyrgios will face No. 8 Milos Raonic of Canada, another hard-serving player.

Roger Federer, seeded fourth and searching for his eighth Wimbledon singles title, will face his fellow Swiss Stan Wawrinka, seeded fifth. Federer had not dropped a set in his four matches, including Tuesday's victory over the Spaniard Tommy Robredo.

No. 2 Novak Djokovic will play No. 26 Marin Cilic, and Andy Murray, the third-seeded defending champion, will play No. 11 Grigor Dimitrov.

Kyrgios was a wild-card entrant who built momentum, and a rousing following among Australian fans at Wimbledon, by withstanding nine match points in a five-set victory over No. 13 Richard Gasquet in the second round.

He beat another wild card, Jiri Vesely, in the third round to reach Nadal.

Nadal won Wimbledon in 2008 and 2010, but seems to have a sudden allergy to grass. He lost in the second round in 2012 and was ousted in the first round last year. He lost the first set in each of his first three matches this year before sweeping the unsung upstart from the tournament with building strength.

It looked to be developing the same way against Kyrgios. The men held serve, back and forth, before Kyrgios captured the first set in a 7-5 tiebreaker. Nadal first broke Kyrgios's serve to win the last game of the second set, and the match felt oh-so-slightly tilted in favor of the world's best player.

But Nadal could not shake free, and he could not solve Kyrgios's serve. The third set went to another tiebreaker. Kyrgios prevailed. Each player had won 117 points, but Kyrgios had captured two of the sets.

Nadal could not respond. Kyrgios broke Nadal for the first time early in the fourth set, and held serve on his own, winning all four points in the final game.

He is the lowest-ranked player to beat Nadal since No. 690 Joachim Johansson beat him in Stockholm in 2006.

The result upset the balance atop men's tennis, where Murray, Djokovic, Nadal and Federer represent the champions of 35 of the past 37 Grand Slam titles. The four men, the Wimbledon's top four seeds, have taken turns wining the past four Wimbledon championships. At least two of them, and often three, have been in the semifinals here every year since 2006.

Wawrinka was one of the two men to have broken through, winning the Australian Open earlier this year. Like Federer, Wawrinka on Tuesday knocked out a Spaniard, No. 19 Feliciano López, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (7), 6-3. Unlike Federer, Wawrinka has not ventured this far before at Wimbledon. It took him 10 appearances, two short of the tournament record in the Open era, to reach the quarterfinals.

'When you play Roger at Wimbledon, when he's fit and confident and feeling well, it's one of the biggest challenges in tennis,' Wawrinka said. 'It's like playing Rafa in the French Open.'

Nadal won the ninth French Open of his career last month. He beat Murray in the semifinals and Djokovic in the final, all part of a familiar script.

He left without the chance to meet his friendly rivals at Wimbledon. But it seems likely that he and the rest of the tennis world will see plenty more of Kyrgios.

Novak Djokovic marries Jelena Ristic days after winning at Wimbledon

Novak Djokovic says he 'couldn't ask for more' after tying the knot with his pregnant childhood sweetheart just days after winning the men's title at Wimbledon.

The 27-year-old Serbian-born Tennis player exchanged vows with Jelena Ristic in the grounds of Montenegro's Aman Sveti Stefan resort.

The bride - who is expecting their first child - wore a gown by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, the designer of the Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress.

Djokovic told Hello! magazine: 'I was trying to be present in that moment and memorise it. I was focused on her, and her smile and our baby. It really was a perfect moment.'

Ristic said: 'I was very nervous and everything seemed a blur. I was seeing him through tears and immediately started crying when I saw him.'

The pair married on Thursday, just four days after Djokovic beat Roger Federer in the Wimbledon final and dedicated his five-set victory - his second Wimbledon win - to his fiancée and 'our future baby'.

AFC Wimbledon vs. Chelsea: How the Blues Will Line Up

Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse more stories

Chelsea's second pre-season game will see them make the short trip across south west London to AFC Wimbledon's Cherry Red Records Stadium. Having recorded an emphatic 5-0 victory over the Wycombe Wanderers on Wednesday, 21 of the 22 players involved will fancy their chances at a place in the starting XI.

Mark Schwarzer will likely start in goal while Petr Cech continues his recovery from a shoulder injury. Mitchell Beeney made his debut against Wycombe and could get an outing at Wimbledon, although Jose Mourinho may prefer to use the more experienced Jamal Blackman ahead of him.

Youngster Todd Kane went off injured after just 17 minutes against Wycombe and will not feature in this game, leaving Branislav Ivanovic to replace him at right-back. Kurt Zouma is also able to play at right-back but should start in his preferred centre-half position alongside John Terry.

Nathan Ake started at left-back on Wednesday and hooked in the cross for the opening goal. However, his defensive lapses caused problems for his teammates and he could find that 16-year-old Jay Dasilva makes it into the starting XI ahead of him.

Nemanja Matic could find himself playing as a purely defensive midfielder, with Jeremie Boga starting in front of him after setting up both Ivanovic's and Terry's goals at Wycombe. The 17-year-old was among the most talked-about players after the game and is certainly competing for a place on the European tour.

Marco van Ginkel should replace Boga at half-time as he continues his return following knee surgery, while Lewis Baker should start as a box-to-box midfielder as he continues his campaign to break into the first-team squad.

Lucas Piazon spoke to the official Chelsea website about the uncertainty surrounding his future at Stamford Bridge, saying:

It's always nice to be here and to see everybody again and to see the friends that I've spent a lot of time with. I don't know what is going to happen but at the moment I'm really happy to be here. I will play in pre-season until we make a decision and I will try to do what's the best thing for me.

Despite impressing during the first half of his loan spell at Vitesse Arnhem last season, Piazon knows that he will need to make a huge impression on Mourinho to feature in the first-team plans for next season. Chelsea are overloaded with players for Piazon's attacking midfield position, and he will certainly need to put in a better performance than he did against Wycombe if he is to avoid another loan spell.

John Swift is likely to start on the left of the attack, while Mourinho will have to make a tough decision over who starts up front. Demba Ba was the only available first-team striker, and with him having completed a move to on Friday, per the official website, the Special One will have to rely on his youngsters to replicate Wednesday's result.

Both Patrick Bamford and Isaiah Brown had stand-out performances at Wycombe, scoring three of the five goals between them. Bamford prefers to play as a typical poacher, which allows Mourinho more scope to assess the attacking midfielders supporting him. He is more likely to start the first half, with Brown again replacing him at half-time.

It is likely that Mourinho will again use all of his substitutes as he continues his assessment of the squad ahead of next week's European tour. Whether any of the fringe players can make enough of an impact to stay in the squad remains to be seen, but another excellent result will do them no harm at all.

AFC Wimbledon vs. Chelsea: Date, Time, TV Info and Preview

Chelsea continue the start of their preseason programme as they face off against fellow Londoners AFC Wimbledon.

Jose Mourinho will be hoping to give a run out to many of his reserves as he lets them battle it out for a first-team opportunity.

Here is how you can watch the game:

When: Saturday, July 19, at 3 p.m. BST (10 a.m. ET)

Where: Cherry Red Records Stadium, Kingston Upon Thames, England

Jose Mourinho to Prove Why He Is the Special One

To Chelsea fans, Jose Mourinho has nothing to prove, but last year was somewhat of a disappointment for the Blues as they finished the season struggling.

Their championship challenge fell away sharply in the final weeks, and their Champions League campaign ended abruptly so close to the final.

Mourinho spent a lot of last season bemoaning the fact that he needed to strengthen his squad, and the owner has answered the call with the capture of Spain's hitman, Diego Costa.

The 25-year-old was the star of La Liga last season as his team Atletico Madrid won the title in style.

The player hit 35 goals in 46 La Liga and European matches, per WhoScored.com, and he is sure to add the firepower that Mourinho has been crying out for.

But the record of one of Mourinho's forwards was not so bad-Demba Ba, who has now left Stamford Bridge.

Football writer Michael Cox highlighted this when he tweeted:

Mourinho's whining about strikers convinced everyone Demba Ba was rubbish, but 43 goals in 77 starts & 22 sub apps (PL) is pretty good

- Michael Cox (@Zonal_Marking) July 18, 2014

With Ba now departed, the future of Fernando Torres also looks bleak as he looks to play second fiddle to his international teammate Costa. A long spell on the bench will almost definitely be Torres' immediate future.

Now in his second season in charge of his second spell, Mourinho will be better prepared to bring Chelsea back the glory they crave, and with an improved squad, they are the danger team in England, at present.

If they can gel early on and get a solid preseason under their belts, they could run away with the Premier League in 2014-15.

Chelsea to Play the Kids Against AFC Wimbledon

Ben Hoskins/Getty Images

The game against Wimbledon is purely one about fitness and sharpness, but Chelsea will also use it to blood their impressive youth team.

Charlie Skillen of the Mail Online recently wrote about the club's youth products who starred in the recent preseason match against Wycombe.

Helped by a few veterans, the young players won the match 5-0.

Izzy Brown and Patrick Bamford shone for Chelsea in the game and showed the depth that Mourinho has in his ranks.

Kurt Zouma also featured for the Blues-a £12 million signing last season, per Skillen-and he could be a surprise inclusion in Chelsea's first-team squad when the Premier League kicks off.

Skillen said of Zouma:

The 19-year-old looked far more assured once moved to centre-half next to John Terry. Showing awareness, calmness and the no-nonsense physical style that became his trademark in the French league, the defender will have impressed the travelling support.

The boys have a chance to impress their coach once again, and it is likely that Wimbledon will not have the quality to deal with the Blues' skilful kids.

It should be a good afternoon of work for the Chelsea lads as they look to make the best impression possible.

Chelsea should win the game comfortably as they prepare to play tougher opposition on their preseason tour.

Prediction: Wimbledon 1 Chelsea 4

'Takeover will kill studios'

'Takeover will kill studios' - Piers Read, boss of Wimbledon Studios, resigns in row over multi-million pound takeover

Updated 11:11am Monday 28th July 2014 in News By Becky Middleton, Chief Reporter

Piers Reed who has resigned from Wimbledon Studios today

The boss of Wimbledon Studios has resigned today in the latest twist as part of an ongoing debate about a multi-million pound takeover of the business.

The announcement today that Piers Read, founder and managing director of the studios in Deer Park Road, Wimbledon, is leaving with immediate effect comes after months of negotiations with potential investors.

He said a planned takeover would 'kill' the studios and his position has become untenable.

A statement from Mr Read said he has been working to secure the investment and funding needed for an ambitious expansion.

David Smith, company secretary and financial controller has also resigned and will be leaving.

The spokesperson said: 'Despite Mr Read having secured funding from multiple interested parties, parent company Panther Securities PLC has resisted making a decision on his £10m offer for the freehold, leaving the future of the studios still in doubt and his position untenable.'

The news follows months of negotiations with potential investors for the internationally recognised studios to fund a £6m refurbishment and upgrade of the facilities which played host to dozens of television and film projects over the years.

In a statement today, Mr Read said: 'I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved together in establishing Wimbledon as a leading studio facility in the UK, but we feel that our position has become increasingly untenable in recent months.

'We fundamentally disagree with the direction our parent company and freeholder, Panther PLC wishes to proceed.

'We believe this direction will kill Wimbledon Studios as it is known today, and we have no desire to be party to that.

'We feel this not only undervalues the work and success that has been achieved by the staff over recent years, but also fails to take advantage of the huge opportunities that currently exist.

'With studio space in London now at a premium, following the closure of a number of our closest competitors, the UK TV and film industry is in desperate need of exactly the type of facilities that Wimbledon could offer.'

Murray looking to regain Wimbledon magic

A year ago, Andy Murray arrived in Mason at the top of his game: The first British man in 77 years to win Wimbledon was on his way to New York to defend his U.S. Open title.

But after the Open, Murray underwent back surgery; underwent a coaching change, parting with Ivan Lendl in favor of Amelie Mauresmo; and on Sunday, arrived at the Western & Southern Open searching for his first title since Wimbledon, and maybe for some answers.

'I've messed up a lot of matches this year, to be honest,' said Murray, a two-time Western & Southern champion who's the No. 8 seed here this year.

Murray then cited chapter and verse the matches in which he's lost leads, including last week at the Rogers Cup in Toronto, where he was up 3-0 in the third set but fell to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

'My year could've looked a lot different had I finished those matches off, to be honest with you. I need to stop messing up when I'm ahead.'

Murray said his lack of consistent results hasn't hurt his confidence this week.

'You come back and you're not going to be maybe as confident because you haven't played so many matches,' Murray said. 'I was more concerned about my health maybe. But now for me is about winning. I feel healthy, and I trained extremely hard to get ready for this period, harder than I had since I came back from the surgery. I played well last week. I just messed up a few games and it cost me.'

Murray, 27, reached the quarterfinals at the Australian Open (losing to Roger Federer), the semifinals at the French Open (losing to Rafael Nadal) and the quarters at Wimbledon (losing to Grigor Dimitrov).

He's playing just his second tournament since Wimbledon after training in Miami with Mauresmo, a former No. 1 women's player and two-time Grand Slam champion.

Mauresmo isn't with Murray here; she'll rejoin him before the U.S. Open. Murray said they communicate via texts and phone calls when she doesn't travel with him.

Among her priorities is to get Murray to come forward more often.

'I used to play a lot more at the net when I was young, a lot of serve and volley,' Murray said. 'That was something that I maybe wasn't encouraged to do and stopped doing. Last week I played pretty well up at the net.

'Still, we haven't spent loads of time together, and it takes time to improve things.'
