LONDON - For Andy Murray, the road leading back to the Big Four remains winding and tortuous. Cory Schneider Jersey .Following an excellent autumn run that helped him qualify for the ATP Finals, the former U.S. Open and Wimbledon champion was brutally brought back to earth by Roger Federer, his season ended by an embarrassing 6-0, 6-1 loss in his final round-robin match at the O2 Arena on Thursday.Murray bowed out of the elite tournament with just one win, over debutant Milos Raonic, and two straight-set defeats to Federer and Kei Nishikori: A mediocre record for Murray, who was running with Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Federer until a year ago.Murray, who missed the event last year after undergoing surgery on his back, went through a difficult season during which he split with coach Ivan Lendl. He slipped to 12th in the rankings in September and his return to top form is taking longer than he expected.Its been a hard year, Murray said. Ill look back on it, and Ive definitely learnt a lot this year about my body, what its like to come back from a tough, tough surgery. Its not easy. Ill spend more time, I always spend a lot of time, but more time taking care of my body, making sure I dont have to go through that again.His back problems solved, Murray came back strongly during the second part of the season under the helm of new coach Amelie Mauresmo, grabbing three titles to qualify for the ATP Finals for the seventh straight year. But his improvement should not end there if Murray is to regain his status among the elite.Well, after tonight thats quite clear, he said. Quite a long way from that level.Federer moved to 12-11 in head-to-heads with Murray, but the Scots last victory over the 17-time Grand Slam champion dates to the 2013 Australian Open. Murray is 0-9 against Federer, Djokovic and Nadal this season.But a lot can change in a matter of weeks and months in tennis, Murray said. Roger is a good example of that. Last year, he was having some struggles and some tough times with his body and whatnot. A lot of questions were asked about him. Hes responded and gone into the last tournament of the year with an opportunity to get to No. 1.Federer said Murrays preparations for next season will be crucial.You just tend to be up and down, especially against the top players, said Federer, recalling his own experience with injuries. Theres just that little bit of doubt, maybe that you need to play unbelievably well, and the other guy you hope he doesnt play his best. Maybe he has this kind of confidence issues. Every point is complicated. Every day is complicated. Will Butcher Jersey . Woods said Friday that his charity event, which attracts a world-class field even without being part of any tour, will move in December 2014 to Isleworth, the course where he honed his professional game from 1996 until moving away to south Florida two years ago. Travis Zajac Jersey .

Former San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds made his longshot request of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit upheld Bonds conviction in September.(SportsNetwork.com) - The Oklahoma City Thunder will try to get back to .500 on Monday night when they welcome the skidding Orlando Magic at ChesapeakeEnergy Arena. Orlando has dropped eight in a row and there are reports that head coach Jacque Vaughn is in trouble. But the Thunder are the ones in real trouble. They have lost two straight, four of five and trail the Phoenix Suns by four games for the eighth playoff spot in the Western Conference. This season has been trying for Oklahoma City. Stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook missed considerable time with injuries, but both have been back long enough to make the Western Conference All-Star team. After losing to the New York Knicks in Madison Square Garden on Wednesday without Durant, the Thunder were squashed in Memphis, 85-74, by the Grizzlies Saturday night. Durant was not effective in his return after a two-game absence with a toe injury. He and Westbrook each shot 5-of-16 for Oklahoma City as Durant, the reining MVP, finished with 15 and Westbrook had 14. Serge Ibaka was OKCs only other double-figure scorer with 13. The first three quarters were evenly played, but Memphis pulled away with an 11-2 run to start the final period. After Ibakas fadeaway cut Oklahoma Citys deficit to 11 with 5:17 to go, the Thunder went three minutes without scoring to end any chance of a comebback. Jamie Langenbrunner Jersey. In the fourth quarter, Oklahoma City turned the ball over eight times and only had one assist on four made baskets. We lost our composure, Thunder head coach Scott Brooks said. When we got down three or four points, we didnt come together. The Magic havent won since Jan. 14 at home against the Houston Rockets. Three of the losses during the eight-game slide have come on the road and the Magic dont have it any easier as they visit the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. The skid continued Saturday night in a 108-93 home loss to the Dallas Mavericks. After Vaughn was booed during his introduction, the Magic fell behind by 27 before cutting the deficit to five in the fourth. Dallas, which played most of the game without Rajon Rondo, who was kneed in the face, pulled away again to seal the victory. Nikola Vucevic had 17 points and 16 rebounds, while Evan Fournier and Willie Green each scored 15 points. We have to come out with more of a sense of urgency, more aggressiveness, said Vucevic. Aaron Gordon chipped in 11 points and Channing Frye had 10 off the bench. The Thunder beat the Magic by 28 in Orlando on Jan. 18 and have won six of the last seven in this series. OKC has won five straight as the host and Orlando has just one victory as the visitor since the Thunder moved to Oklahoma City prior to the 2008-09 season.
