Rodgers: BBA ‘will be happy to integrate with the BBF’ By BRENT STUBBS Senior Sports Reporter bstubbs@tribunemedia.net WITH the passing of his mentor and former leader Jim Wood two years ago, Sam Rodgers has assumed the role as president of the Bahamas Baseball Association. And Rodgers, who was accompanied by one of the vice presidents Stanley Mitchell at the announcement of the latest development for the construction of the new Andre Rodgers Baseball Stadium yesterday, said he intends to keep the memory of Wood alive as he heads the embattled organisation that seeks to exist without any membership, but remains the governing body for the sport. Wood died on December 9, 2014 and in January 2015, Rodg-

ers was placed in charge of the BBA. He said at present, he’s trying to complete the administrative structure. It’s no secret that before Wood died, there was a lot of contention between the BBA and the Bahamas Baseball Federation, which has primarily carried the sport on the ground by doing primarily what the BBA should have been doing. Rodgers said they are looking at a compromise between the two bodies as they chart the way forward. “We have decided so far that we will not run any leagues that will interfere with the BBF,” Rodgers said. “What we have decided to do is look at baseball from our angle from the international tournament perspective. “So once we have those tournaments lined up, we will sit down

with the BBF and their president Teddy Sweeting and see how we will integrate these tournaments because they have the players. So they will be responsible for getting the players together and we will be responsible for the international tournaments.” Although the BBF has been agitating for a change to both the Bahamas Olympic Committee and the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture, the two highest sporting bodies in the country, Rodgers said he doesn’t see why there is a problem with the picture he’s painting. “If we both decide to run a league, when it’s time to pick a national team, I could decide to pick all the players from my league, then that would be a problem,” he said. “So we in the BBA have decided that we will not run

any league to compete with their league. “But when we have to go to the international tournaments, we will select their players to take part in these tournaments. We will run some academies, which will be designed for players who are not playing in their league. We will get them on the field and help to develop them so that they can then be integrated into the BBF leagues.” No doubt with the construction of the new Andre Rodgers Baseball Stadium at the Baillou Hills Sporting Complex, there is expected to be some contention over the use of the facility, which will be operated by the National Sports Authority. Rodgers said they don’t see any problems. “We heard that the stadium

will be up and running in a few months. I think we can utilise the stadium, along with the Ministry of Youth, and make it a profitable one,” Rodgers said. “Most of the time when I travel, people have been asking me when are we going to host an international tournament because they want to come to the Bahamas. “So I think it would be a smooth transition for us. We hope to bring tournaments of different age brackets here and I don’t have a problem bringing teams here to compete. So we will be happy to integrate with the BBF and corporate Bahamas so that we can properly entertain the teams when they come here to play in the new stadium.” Hopefully, the BBF will get to voice their opinion on the issue in Friday’s edition of The Tribune.

Work on the new baseball stadium going as planned By BRENT STUBBS Senior Sports Reporter bstubbs@tribunemedia.net WORK on the new Andre Rodgers Baseball Stadium, with a synthetic field, is going as planned, on schedule and on budget, according to Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture Dr Daniel Johnson. His comments came yesterday as he, along with architect Michael Foster, brought the media up to date on the latest developments of the 4,500 spectators’ seating stadium, which will occupy 24.80 acres of land at the Baillou Hills Sporting Complex. Director of Sports Timothy Munnings said the Ministry would hold periodic briefings as they continue with the construction. “In the next couple of

weeks, you will see a lot of flat beds with the framework, the roof, the carriages for the grandstand and most of the copper structure on site,” said Foster, whose AR Concepts, The Bahamian Architect Group, is responsible for the designing of the stadium. “We played a trick on the media and the public. The typical Bahamian, you say you are going to do something and they don’t understand the process. They want to see something tomorrow. The people who follow sports in our country are very cruel. I understand that.” To ensure that everything would be in place, Foster said the company which manufactured the stadium, began the process from last November and now the fabricated portions are on the

MINISTER of Youth, Sports and Culture Dr Daniel Johnson yesterday talks about the progress made so far with regard to the new Andre Rodgers Baseball Stadium.

structure will be on and the proceeding months, you will see the exterior, the parking lot will begin. Once the crane goes down, the preparation for the field will begin.” By March 2016, 90 per cent of the stadium will be completed and between May and June, Foster said everything should be up and running.

“The foundation is out of the ground, 100 per cent and the construction columns of the stadium, we expect to see them erected as early as next week,” Foster said. “I think everybody has seen the huge crane on the site, but that was a huge challenge getting that there. That will make the construction very easy. The

specimens for the stadium are still the same with a seating of spectators and there will be a 5,000 square foot area for office spaces on both the ground and second level.” Although he would have preferred the grass turf on the field, Foster said it was agreed to go with synthetic

Basketball showcase to feature six US high schools By BRENT STUBBS Senior Sports Reporter bstubbs@tribunemedia.net BAHAMIAN DeAndre Ayton, the top ranked high school basketball prospect, will lead a field of talented players coming to town this weekend to participate in the ‘Sands Between Your Toes’ Basketball Showcase. The showcase, featuring six visiting high schools from the United States and four teams from the Bahamas, two out of New Providence and Grand Bahama each, is all set to be held on Friday and Saturday at the Kendal Isaacs Gymnasium. Kevin ‘KJ’ Johnson said this provides an unique opportunity

for the public to see Ayton in action before he begins his journey to the next level at college where he has already signed to play for the Arizona Wildcats next year, turning down offers from the Kansas Jayhawks, Kentucky Wildcats, Maryland Terrapins and the San Diego State Aztecs. “DeAndre always wanted to come home. I coached him when he was 14-15 in the summer time and he played with me in the Summer of Thunder when we beat North Carolina,” Johnson said. “That’s how we built the relationship. “But he always wanted to come home before he goes to college. His people planned it along with me. I’m helping them out, making

sure everything is organised on this end to bring him home to play before his people. He wants the Bahamian people to know who DeAndre Ayton is before he goes to college and hopefully by the grace of God, the NBA.” While he’s the top ranked player going into college, Johnson said Ayton is already projected to be the next Ben Simmons going into the NBA draft. “It’s just a projection, but his projection is huge when it comes to a Bahamian player coming back home to compete in front of his Bahamian people.” Ayton, the 7-foot-0, 220-pound centre, will lead Hillcrest Prep out of Phoenix, Arizona when they take on the 22 Feet Academy

in their first game 8pm Friday. They will play their second game on Saturday against The Conrad Academy at the same time. The other two visiting high schools out of the United States are Victory Rock Prep and The Tech Academy. “We want the Bahamian public to understand that this is going to be a high level high school basketball showcase,” Johnson said. “We want our Bahamian players to understand how important it is to play at this high level and if they want to play at this high level, they have to really train and put in the work. “Definitely DeAndre is the feature and centre of attraction. We want to highlight what he is doing

over there (in the United States), how good he is and everybody will get a chance to see just how good he is projected to be.” While the six foreign schools will be matched against each other in the five match series on both days, the local teams from Grand Bahama and New Providence will square off against each other in the early game at 3:30pm and the feature game at 9:30pm. “We know that we are probably not ready because the competition is keen and to play against one of those teams, you want to be able to play at a high level that these guys play at,” Johnson said. “You’re talking about at least

WEEK 10 AWARDS The “Real MVP Award of This Election” Award presented by Lee Atwater – Dallas Cowboys Offensive Line. Everything they do well - Dak, Zeke, Dez, Jerry Jones’ indecision and awful Mannequin Challenge, Jason Garrett’s ginger supremacy – all of this is because their offensive line allows it. The “Nah, I Didn’t Sign Up For This Fam” Award presented by Jah Cure - Mike Evans. The Bucs receiver sat down to protest President-elect Donald Trump and backtracked almost as fast as he runs the 40. The “Global Warming” Award presented by actual Global Warming - Earl Thomas. You’d have to listen to the Dan Le Batard show to get it, but in short, Gronk is a polar bear the Pats have trained to catch a football.

WEEK 11 New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers RENALDO: The Super Bowl hangover is real. This is no longer one of those crackpot theories in sports that develops into folklore. This is a legitimate thing. I can’t explain how the Panthers fell from 15-1 to this mess. No one can. It’s not just that this team became bad in one offseason, the brand of football they play has become uglier than Cam Netwon’s outfits. There was one drive last Sunday where they ran 20 plays and it ended in a punt. If you’re on the field that long and you punt, your season’s over. As bad as the Saints are on the road, as bad as the Saints defence is no matter where they play – I’m done believing in the Panthers. Shouldn’t have said “All Lives Matter” Cam. SAINTS over Panthers SANNIE: I am so heartbroken. The Panthers just aren’t cutting it man, this game is my last hope. Come

on Cam. We gat this. PANTHERS over Saints Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns RENALDO: I’ve become kindred spirits with the Browns because of my Fantasy team in the 10YS/ Coors Light League. Like the Bucket of Deplorables, the Browns are easily on their way to 0-11. Both owners deserve to be fired. STEELERS over Browns SANNIE: Lol. Seriously Cleveland? 0-10? You guys might as well just quit. STEELERS over Browns Baltimore Ravens at Dallas Cowboys RENALDO: I don’t trust anything about Tony Romo’s statement. Not only did he overact on a Nicholas Cage-like level at the podium, but the entire thing felt hollow to me. Of course I understand the hypocrisy of wanting Dak to stay in the lineup since the Broncos won the Super Bowl last year by doing the exact opposite in the Osweiler/Manning decision, but objectiv-

ity be damned. The new triplets are fun and that’s all that matters. COWBOYS over Ravens SANNIE: Wow, the Cowboys seem to be on a roll and apparently I am behind so I have to go with the winning team. COWBOYS over Ravens Jacksonville Jaguars at Detroit Lions RENALDO: Is it possible for anyone to do a job for four years as bad as Gus Bradley has and people would just spin and gloss over it? Hold that answer and let’s see how the White House plays out by 2020. LIONS over Jags SANNIE: Both of these teams seem to be terrible but the Lions seem to suck less. LIONS over Jaguars Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts RENALDO: That Titans fan you know that’s been nagging you to pay attention to his team, you should go ahead and listen to them. Somehow Mariota

gets overlooked in the “next great young quarterback” debate but in the last six weeks he’s thrown 17 touchdowns and three interceptions. Even DeMarco Murray is throwing touchdowns in Tennessee. TITANS over Colts SANNIE: Ummmm I honestly know nothing about any of these teams but I like the Colts horseshoe, so let’s go with them. COLTS over Titans Buffalo Bills at Cincinnati Bengals RENALDO: There’s nothing interesting about this game. The loser should be relegated to the SEC or Big 10. That’s the only thing that would make any of this palatable. BENGALS over Bills SANNIE: Boy these choices are getting harder and harder but the Bengals have won more games so let’s go Bengals. BENGALS over Bills Chicago Bears at New York Giants RENALDO: This seems

like the perfect game for Jay Cutler and Eli Manning to try and “out-awful” each other. Cutler won’t have his biggest threat Alshorn Jeffery so Eli is about to be one per cent less worse. GIANTS over Bears SANNIE: Sooo New York for New Years? I swear this has always been a dream of mine. The more they win, the more I think I’ll end up going so….go Giants. GIANTS over Bears Arizona Cardinals at Minnesota Vikings RENALDO: I have no idea who wins this game based on talent, preparation and all that other stuff but I’m here to see who spirals out of control quicker between Bruce Arians and Mike Zimmer. I need to see Zimmer lose it. CARDS over Vikings SANNIE: I’ve FINALLY caught up with Vikings, after it took me forever. You guys have to watch this show it’s awesome! Maybe the team will be too. VIKINGS over Cards

Miami Dolphins at Los Angeles Rams RENALDO: The hottest team in the NFL, Jay Ajayi, and the rest of the dudes dressed like him attempt to win five in a row and to do that…all they’ll have to do is get by some rookie quarterback. Classic trap game. Jeff Fisher is clearly playing the last card in his hand by playing Jared Goff 10 weeks too late - this team is desperate, their season is done and there’s nothing on the line (but Fisher’s job). As a Dolphins fan I’m afraid… but I also have Jay Ajayi. DOLPHINS over Rams SANNIE: Boy, the Dolphins are on a winning streak. I hope it can continue. DOLPHINS over Rams New England Patriots at San Francisco 49ers RENALDO: It’s weird that the Patriots have given up on a pass rush. We’re at a point now with Bill Belichick where he’s seemingly infallible. I’m now second guessing how important a

It’s back to the quick picks to make up ground OKAY, I had no idea that my Week 10 picks were so awful. Well, I did get some inclination last Thursday evening after watching a couple of news clips of Ezekiel Elliott and Sam Bradford turning in far different press conferences than I had expected. I envisioned a four touchdown performance by Bradford in which he commanded the Vikings offence. That didn’t happen. His stats were okay on the surface, but anyone that watched him against the Redskins saw a quarterback lost in the most critical moments of that game. With Zeke, I expected a come-to-earth moment

against the vaunted Pittsburgh Steelers defence. Instead, he pounded the Steelers for 209 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns - two rushing and one receiving. Away from his game-winning touchdown run, Zeke impressed for four quarters and in my opinion, wrapped up the rookie of the year award. After my horrid 5-9 performance, I now sit buried among the basement dwellers in the Tribune picks standings. Last season, to make up ground I started a quick pick strategy. No discussion, no logic, just a quick pick at first glance. I’m going to give it a shot this week, I hope it goes well.

LOOK FOR LOTS OF POINTS AS SAINTS TAKE ON PANTHERS IN TONIGHT’S GAME By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer PRO Picks has been keeping company with the dregs of the NFL, and it’s time that stopped. Coming off the best weekend of football this season, we need to ramp up our game. We’ll start with what shapes up as a shootout in Charlotte, the Panthers (3-6) hosting the Saints (4-5). Both teams figure they should have won on Sunday, but they fell painfully. Carolina blew a big lead against Kansas City, turned over the ball in the dying moments and was beaten by a Chiefs field goal. Even worse, in what

RACIAL SLURS over Packers SANNIE: Okay, back to boycotting Washington…because

might be the play of the year so far, New Orleans had a late extra point kick blocked and run back by Denver for a defensive 2-point conversion. All those points did was win the game. “As fast as we can get on the field, the better, as far as you want another crack at it,” says the Saints’ Drew Brees, who is having another spectacular season. “We let that one go. Usually it’s a 24-hour rule. That one would have to be let go after you woke up Monday morning because the preparation began on Carolina.” At least the Panthers didn’t also have to deal with travelling for the Thursday nighter.

Jim Wood passed away and he did not get to see this day, but last week Friday, we honoured his name and his reputation and what he has done in this peace deal,” said Johnson about the dispute between the Bahamas Baseball Association and the Bahamas Baseball Federation. “Everything in the National Sports Park will be ran by the National Sports Authority on behalf of the people of the Bahamas,” Johnson said.

“All federations, which intend to use those facilities, just like that the basketball stadium, will be subjected to a user’s fee. “We will prepare the space, you tell us what you are doing and we will prepare it and break it down. On the occasion when you have something special, you will book it in advance. This is no longer the neighbourhood park where you just turn up to play. You will have to book it in advance.” For those organisations that already receive a grant from the ministry, Johnson said they will get an increase, but part of it will go directly to the NSA for the maintenance of the facilities that the sporting organisations intend to utilise for their activities. Newly appointed president of the Bahamas Baseball Association, Sam Rodgers, along with Stanley Mitchell, one of the vice presidents, were present, but there was no represention from the Bahamas Baseball Federation, headed by Teddy Sweeting. Sweeting and the federation played a role in helping to get nine Bahamians playing for Great Britain this year in the World Baseball Classic. But Johnson said that will never happen again as the Bahamas will

seek to field its own team to play in the future. With baseball being included in the 2020 Olympic Games, Johnson said they will be doing all in their power to ensure that the Bahamas takes full advantage of the opportunity. He said professional player Antoan Richardson, who made an impact in getting the players to team up for Great Britain, will be called upon to play a pivotal role in that regard. Once completed, Johnson said the National Sports Authority would be in charge of the scheduling for those international teams that want to come in to compete and those local organisations that will seek to participate. Once completed, Johnson said the University of the Bahamas would have access to a grand lawn that will link the stadium in what will be called the University Common, which will put the Bahamas on par with all others around the world. Johnson also said they have had a town meeting with the residents in the area and those affected, have compiled and reconfigured their yard so that they won’t be affected by the ring road that will be erected around the stadium.

Curry scores 35, Warriors top the Raptors 127-121 By PAUL ATTFIELD Associated Press

By TERRANCE HARRIS Associated Press

TORONTO (AP) — Stephen Curry had 35 points, Kevin Durant added 30 and the Golden State Warriors beat the Toronto Raptors 127-121 on Wednesday night for their fifth straight victory. The Warriors also have won five in a row against the Raptors, three in Toronto. NBA scoring leader DeMar DeRozan led the Raptors with 34 points, and Kyle Lowry had 24. DeRozan was 17 of 17 from the free-throw line, and had his ninth 30-plus-point game in 11 games this season. The Raptors led for most of first quarter, stretching their lead as high as 10 thanks to nine points apiece from Lowry and DeRozan. Durant chipped in with nine of his own as the Warriors fought back to close the deficit to 38-34 after 12 minutes. Durant and Curry, in particular, ensured they improved on that in the second quarter with 10 points each. Aided by the Raptors shooting 5 for 24, the Warriors closed out the half on a 23-6 run, turning a four-point deficit into a 13-point lead, 66-53. The 66 points were the most the Raptors have given up in a first half at home since surrendering 71 to the Los Angeles Clippers on Jan. 25, 2014. Golden State pushed the advantage to 19 points over the first 1:30 of the third quarter, but DeRozan brought the Raptors back with 19 points to send the Raptors into the fourth trailing 95-86. Over the final 12 minutes, the Golden State backups stretched the lead to 16, and were able to hold on as the Raptors rallied within 4 with 13 seconds to play. TIP INS: Warriors: Coach Steve Kerr is one win away from the 150th coaching victory of his career. With 33 assists and a 50.6 success rate from the field, the Warriors set a franchise record with a fifth straight game with at least 30 assists and shooting over 50 percent. ... With 10 field goals made, Curry moved past Joe Barry Carroll (4,010) for eight place on Golden State’s career list. Raptors: Along with Brooklyn, Toronto is the only team to face Cleveland and Golden State in back-to-back games. Toronto lost 121-117 in Cleveland on Tuesday night. The Raptors out-rebounded Golden State 46-35. The Raptors dropped to 5-2 this season when DeRozan and Lowry combine to score 50 or more points.

Oklahoma City led by three when Westbrook dunked over the 6-foot-10 Capela with 5.5 seconds left to put the Thunder up five. Westbrook, the NBA No. 2 scorer, also had nine assists and seven rebounds. Victor Oladipo had season highs of 29 points and 10 rebounds for the Thunder. They snapped a four-game losing streak. James Harden had 13 points, 13 assists and seven rebounds. He made just 4 of 16 shots while being harassed by Andre Roberson. Capela added 13 points and 14 rebounds for the Rockets.

The Cavaliers dropped to 9-2 after matching the best start in franchise history with the victory over Toronto on Tuesday night. KNICKS 105, PISTONS 102 NEW YORK (AP) — Kristaps Porzingis scored a career-high 35 points and New York held off Detroit.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Serge Ibaka scored 16 points and Nikola Vucevic broke out of his shooting slump with 10 points and 14 rebounds to help lift the Orlando Magic to an 89-82 win over New Orleans on Wednesday night. Evan Fournier also finished with 16 points, while D.J. Augustin and Damjan Rudez scored 11 each and Aaron Gordon added 10. The Magic dominated early before the short-handed Pelicans made it interesting down the stretch with Terrence Jones and Langston Galloway hitting some clutch baskets to cut into what was once a double-digit lead. After Jones pulled the Pelicans to 84-82 with a free throw, Vucevic responded with a jumper and putback to extend Orlando’s lead back out to six points. Jones, who started at power forward in place of injured Anthony Davis, led the Pelicans with 26 points. New Orleans completed its comeback with 9:23 in the game when Buddy Hield knocked down a baseline jumper to put his team up briefly 70-69. But Augustin and Rudez countered with a combined 10 points during a stretch to put the Magic back ahead, 79-73. Jones scored 12 points in the third quarter to help the Pelicans comeback from a 12-point first-half deficit to pull within one point late in the period. The Magic held on to a 65-63 lead at the end of the third. After a sluggish start, the Magic got going in the second quarter. They came up with stops and Ibaka and Fournier both hit big shots to build Orlando’s lead to 15 before heading into halftime with a 52-40 advantage. Ibaka, who knocked down two big 3-pointers in the second quarter, led Orlando with 12 points while Fournier added 10 points in the first half. The Magic shot 46 percent from the floor and 50 percent from 3-point range while limiting the Pelicans under 33 percent shooting from the floor and forcing them into nine firsthalf turnovers. Orlando’s reserves also dominated in the first two quarters, outscoring their Pelicans counterparts 29-17 with C.J. Watson, Augustin and Rudez all converting key shots. Jones led the Pelicans with 11 points in the first two quarters.

and Atlanta won its sixth straight game, beating Milwaukee. Muscala started in place of star center Dwight Howard, who was sidelined with a left quadriceps contusion. Atlanta improved to 6-1 at home and tied Cleveland for the best record in the Eastern Conference at 9-2. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 26 points and 15 rebounds for Milwaukee, and Jabari Parker scored 15 of his 23 points in the third quarter. CELTICS 90, MAVERICKS 83 BOSTON (AP) — Isaiah Thomas scored 22 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter in Boston’s victory over Dallas. Thomas scored 20 of Boston’s final 24 points to help the Celtics beat back a late Mavericks’ surge. After Dallas took a 70-66 lead, Thomas scored Boston’s next 13 points to put the Celtics back in front 79-76. Avery Bradley added 18 points and 13 rebounds. Harrison Barnes led the Mavericks with 28 points. 76ERS 109, WIZARDS 102 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jahlil Okafor scored 19 points on 8-for-11 shooting to lead struggling Philadelphia past Washington. Ersan Ilyasova added 16 points to help the 76ers win for just the second time in 11 games this season. John Wall scored 23 of his 27 points in the second half for Washington.

Murray edges Nishikori, Wawrinka KOs Cilic in ATP Finals LONDON (AP) — Andy Murray and Kei Nishikori tend to linger when they get together. Their latest matchup set a record. Murray survived the longest three-set match in ATP Finals history when he prevailed against Nishikori 6-7 (9), 6-4, 6-4 yesterday. They needed 3 hours, 20 minutes, to separate themselves. The first set alone took 85 minutes. Murray, 2-0 in his group, can clinch a semi-final berth for the first time in four years with a win over US Open champion Stan Wawrinka on Friday. Wawrinka eliminated Marin Cilic from contention 7-6 (3), 7-6 (3) in an almost two-hour-long late match. Losing to No. 5-ranked Nishikori would have hurt Murray’s chances of holding off Novak Djokovic to keep the No. 1 ranking. Murray relieved Djokovic of the top ranking last week, and Murray believed it would be a fitting end to the year to play the Serb for the ranking and ATP Finals

title on Sunday in the final. “For the tournament and stuff, for everyone interested in tennis, that would probably be the perfect way to finish the year,” Murray said. “For me and, I’m sure, for Novak, both of our goals would be to try to win the event. It doesn’t change for us as players.” Murray admitted he abused himself on court more than usual while trying to figure out how to overcome Nishikori. “He could have won in two sets, for sure,” Murray said. “He moves the ball around extremely well, better than anyone maybe. It was physically tough. I wasn’t able to dictate many of the points, it felt. More so in the third set I was able to. But not in the first couple of sets. I was having to run, fight, get as many balls back as I could. “I feel OK right now. It’s normally the next day when you feel stiff and sore, but there’s hopefully three days left in the season, and I’ll

ANDY MURRAY celebrates winning a point during the ATP World Tour Finals singles tennis match against Kei Nishikori of Japan at the O2 arena in London yesterday. (AP Photo/Alastair Grant) Nishikori was one of only three players to beat him in the intervening five months, edging a five-setter in the US Open quarterfinals. They also went five sets and almost five hours in the Davis Cup in March. Nishikori extended their

first set on Wednesday when he saved a set point at 6-5 down, but he needed four set points to take the opener on a wide forehand by Murray. Murray immediately broke to start the second. Nishikori tied it at 4-4.

But Murray broke straight back, and had to save two set points to force a decider. Murray has played more matches than ever this season and he looked drained, but Nishikori’s decisionmaking was clouded by fatigue, and he lost his serve in the third game. When a double fault made it 4-1 to Murray, the Scot finally had some breathing space and the end in sight. Nishikori showed commendable resolve to retrieve one break, but Murray served out at the second time of asking for his 21st successive win. Murray has a chance to match his best streak of 22, from June to August, when he plays Wawrinka on Friday to end group action. Wawrinka saved one set point in the first set, and dominated the tiebreaker. Cilic broke to open the second, but Wawrinka got him back and served too good in the tiebreaker again for his 11th win in 13 matchups with Cilic.
