Sequel fatigue might be a problem for Hollywood studios, but not for Andy Murray. This semifinal weekend in Glasgow, Murray will be hoping to move closer to a remake of last years buddy movie -- winning the Davis Cup alongside his brother?Jamie?and friends.Most players are content with a sole Davis Cup triumph -- Roger Federer is in that category -- but once hasnt sated Murrays ambitions: We want to do it again.In Murrays own analysis, this has already been the finest year of his tennis life to date, even if his greatest accomplishments in 2016 havent been wholly original storylines. But why should he care when he has been turning in such great performances, and winning some of the biggest prizes?Becoming the Wimbledon champion for a second occasion this year might not have had quite the same cathartic feel or epic quality as his first victory in 2013, but it was compelling nonetheless, especially as it was his first Grand Slam title anywhere for three years. Retaining the Olympic title was hardly any less enjoyable than when he did so the first time -- no man or woman had previously won two successive singles gold medals.And dont imagine for one moment that last Novembers Davis Cup triumph -- set, of all the places, in a hangar on the outskirts of Ghent -- means that he is now content to coast in this competition. Right from the start of the Davis Cup year, before the first-round tie against Japan, he said: Why cant we win this again? Why not?You can have more than one goal during the year, he told reporters after joining up with the GB team in Glasgow. At the end of last year, Davis Cup -- for all of us -- was a priority. But I dont think, at the beginning of the year, we expected to win the event.As you get closer and closer, you want to make the most of the opportunity -- and we want to do it again. I want to win all the events I can.I took a few days off after New York and came here and have been practising since Sunday. I get a little break after Im finished here, so one more big push this weekend.Murray is quite different to Federer, who since winning the Davis Cup for the first time in 2014, when Switzerland defeated France in Lille, has never aspired to being the champion once again. As he once observed: My idea was never to win it twice, the idea was to win it once.On another occasion, the Swiss described playing in the competition as a heavy burden; in the past two years, Federers only appearance was in last Septembers World Group playoff against Holland when he intervened to prevent his country from being relegated into the zonal divisions.Novak Djokovic has also only won the Davis Cup once, when Serbia defeated France in the 2010 final, though he has made another unsuccessful appearance in a final, against the Czech Republic in 2013.While Murray has a mere three Grand Slams, which leaves him a few behind Federer, who has 17, and Djokovic, on 12, the Briton has out-performed his Swiss and Serbian rivals when representing his country.Neither of them have even one Olympic singles gold medal, while Murray has two. And now, in this year of sequels for Murray, he seeks another remake, one which would allow him to surpass Federer and Djokovic in another competition.Should Britain go through, and France also progress, the final would be played on the other side of the Channel. But the movie could be freshened up with a home final, too, if Britain end up playing Croatia. Its a safe bet that Murray would be highly motivated either way. Nike Vapormax Schwarz Sale .

PHILADELPHIA -- Up until the start of Saturdays game, it seemed unlikely that Joel Embiid would play at all.He ended up having the best game of his short NBA career.Fighting through a sprained left ankle, Embiid scored a career-high 26 points in 20 minutes, and the Philadelphia 76ers routed the Phoenix Suns 120-105 for their most convincing win of the season.I felt great, Embiid said. When you play, you dont really pay attention to those kind of things. During the game, I was fine. Even now, its fine.Nik Stauskas added a season-high 21 points on 8-for-9 shooting for the Sixers, who have split their last six games after starting the season with seven straight losses. Sergio Rodriguez had eight points, 11 assists and eight rebounds.Eric Bledsoe led Phoenix (4-10) with 27 points. The Suns have lost three of their first four on their six-game road trip.You give any team confidence at home and they can get rolling, Suns coach Earl Watson said. They have a lot of confidence here. The crowd was energetic and Embiid in limited minutes was more than effective.Embiid was 3 for 5 from 3-point range and 9 for 14 from the field overall. He also grabbed seven rebounds and blocked two shots, including a ferocious one on Devin Booker in the second quarter that got the crowd roaring.The 7-foot-2 center, playing in just his ninth NBA game after a pair of foot surgeries sidelined him for his first two seasons, reached his career high on a jumper with 8:30 left.After a three-point play from Bledsoe got Phoenix within six midway through the third quarter, the Sixers reeled off a 10-0 run to open an 82-66 lead. They led by double figures the rest of the way against a banged-up Phoenix team playing the second end of a back-to-back.We got stops, we made some shots and we took off again, Sixers coach Brett Brown said.Embiid and Booker were game-time decisions due to sprained ankles. Each of them started and Embiid, hurt two nights earlier, jumped all over the Suns, scoring Phillys first eight points and 10 in the first three minutes, including a ppair of 3-pointers.ddddddddddddLater in the first quarter, Embiid had eight points in a 10-0 run that helped Philadelphia to a 31-17 advantage, capping the spurt with his third 3 from the top of the key.Thats what makes him so tough to stop, Stauskas said. Obviously hes a dominant force down low but sometimes the bigs arent willing to step up to the line to guard him. And hes making people pay right now with that top-of-the-key 3-pointer.Booker finished with 10 points on 4-for-13 shooting.TIP-INSSuns: The Suns were without T.J. Warren (illness) and Tyson Chandler (mothers funeral). ... Phoenix recalled rookie forward Derrick Jones Jr. from D-League affiliate Northern Arizona before the game.76ers: After shooting 1 for 5 from the field, slumping sharpshooter Robert Covington has missed 27 of his last 31 shots, leading to plenty of boos from the crowd. ... The Sixers have won three straight at home, but dropped their last 21 on the road -two away from matching a franchise record.THE EMBIID PROCESSEmbiid, who already has missed four games this season as the Sixers slowly ease him back, was limited to 24 minutes or less. Jahlil Okafor, who platoons with him at center, was under the same minutes restriction because of knee surgery last season.I hope to play those two together, Brown said. With the minutes restriction, its kind of impossible right now.BOOKER GUTS IT OUTWatson said Booker struggled after returning from his own ankle injury. But the Suns coach was impressed that the second-year rising star was able to play at all.He gave us all he had, Watson said. He knew he wanted to play because we didnt have T.J. He sacrificed his body. Thats just the type of person he is. You could see he could barely move.BOMBS AWAYThe Sixers matched a franchise record with 17 3-pointers.UP NEXTSuns: Visit Washington on Monday.76ers: Host Miami on Monday night.
