p to the task against Trevor Siem
NEW YORK -- The U.S. Opens serve-speed readout board told the world that Andy Murray smacked a serve at 141 mph.He had his doubts.Sometimes, Murray said, the gun can be a bit wrong, possibly.Taking 9 of 10 games at the outset, Murray overwhelmed Grigor Dimitrov 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 on Monday night to reach the quarterfinals for the 22nd time in his past 23 Grand Slam tournaments.I didnt give him an opportunity, once I was ahead, to let him back in the match, the No. 2-seeded Murray said.A big part of the way he took control -- and remained in control -- was his serving.I served a bunch in the low 130s, mid-130s, which was good. I got a lot of free points with my serve tonight, Murray said. The conditions do a lot for you to serve quick. The balls are fast. I wanted to use that to my advantage as the tournament goes on. I did go up in (racket string) tension a little bit from the last match. Maybe that allowed me to feel like I was able to swing a little bit harder.As for the evenings fastest serve, which Murray said would be the first time hes topped 140 mph: I think that was lucky. I only did it once. So Im not expecting to do it again.He played well in various areas, certainly, but also faced little resistance from No. 22 Dimitrov, who had accumulated 23 unforced errors and only two winners by the time he trailed 3-0 in the second set.Obviously, Dimitrov said, today I ran out of fuel, I think, physically and mentally.Murray has lost three times in 10 meetings against Dimitrov, whose all-court game and smooth, one-handed backhand earned him the nickname Baby Fed, as in Roger Federer. Dimitrovs success against Murray include matchups in the 2014 Wimbledon quarterfinals and in their most recent encounter, in May at Miami.But Murray is playing about as well as possible lately, reaching the final at each of his last seven tournaments prior to the U.S. Open. He has won 26 of his past 27 matches, including a title at Wimbledon and a second consecutive singles gold medal at the Olympics.Andy is the best player right now out there, Dimitrov said.The 2012 champion at Flushing Meadows will face No. 6 Kei Nishikori in the quarterfinals Wednesday; the other matchup on their side of the draw is No. 3 Stan Wawrinka vs. 2009 U.S. Open title winner Juan Martin del Potro. Murray beat Nishikori in the semifinals at the Rio Games last month.The only time in the past six seasons that Murray failed to get at least this far at a major that he entered came a year ago at the U.S. Open, when he lost to Kevin Anderson in the fourth round.Now, though, Murray has a chance to become only the fourth man in the Open era to reach all four Grand Slam finals in a single season.He lost to No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the finals of the Australian Open in January and French Open in June, before winning Wimbledon for the second time in July.Since the professional era started in 1968, only Djokovic (2015), Roger Federer (2004, 2006 and 2007) and Rod Laver (1969, when he completed a calendar-year Grand Slam) have been to a seasons four major title matches.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at

Under Armour Clutchfit Drive 2 . The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C., native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated, see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL.

Under Armour Curry 2 Singapore . The deal is pending a physical, assistant general manager Bobby Evans said. Traded from Seattle to Baltimore on Aug. 30, Morse also can play first base and right field to give manager Bruce Bochy some flexibility in writing his lineup. Chris Berman has taken his Swami Sez NFL picks segment, seen on SportsCenter, to ESPN Chalk. Each week during the NFL regular season, hell give his favorite picks against the spread here with a little further analysis.Season record: 38-18 ATS (last week: 4-1)?New York Giants at Cleveland BrownsAre the Browns really going to lose every game? Theyve played a bunch of close ones so far, but I dont think this is the week theyll get over the hump. This number isnt as high as youd think for a 7-3 team facing one thats 0-11, and the Giants are certainly susceptible to looking ahead. Luke McCown gives the Browns a chance to win, but the Giants pull another one out late as Cleveland forces them to play for 60 minutes.Score: New York Giants 23, Browns 20Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore RavensThe Ravens have lost five straight to the Bengals, and Baltimore coach John Harbaugh is on record as saying his team needs to beat Cincinnati to win the AFC North. Well, fortunate for the Ravens, this Bengals team is a little different than in years past. Baltimore needs Joe Flacco to stand up and be one of its best players, to complement a strong defense. Injuries to A.J. Green and Giovani Bernard are too much for the Bengals to overcome in this one.Score: Ravens 23, Bengals 16Jacksonville Jaguars at Buffalo BillsJacksonville played Detroit and Kansas City close, but sooner or later playing tough and having nothing to show for it catches up to a team. Buffalo is 5-5 and showed me something the past two weeks with the way it played in Seattle and in Cincy.dddddddddddd. The Bills have a real shot to make the playoffs, something they havent done this century (last trip was 1999). LeSean McCoy is banged up and Sammy Watkins might play sparingly, but Im not sure it matters in this one. Buffalo starts its playoff push.Score: Bills 24, Jaguars 14Carolina Panthers at Oakland RaidersCarolina is a game team and will give this its best shot, but it doesnt seem like its the Panthers year. The Panthers are running out of straws to grasp, and having Luke Kuechly (and Ryan Kalil) out for this one will really hurt. The Raiders are a first-place team and are starting to play like it. They pull another one out late at home.Score: Raiders 27, Panthers 21Kansas City Chiefs at Denver BroncosLast week was certainly a head-scratcher against Tampa Bay, as Kansas City doesnt usually lose at home?to under-.500 teams. The Chiefs need to play their best overall game of the year to win in Denver. They won there last year, so they wont be scared of the situation. Denver hasnt found its running game without C.J. Anderson, and I think the defense will be up to the task against Trevor Siemian. Justin Houston plays more of a role in this one and Kansas City wins on the road.Score: Chiefs 20, Broncos 19
