Sydney coach John Longmire admits he had to switch to plan B after star forward Lance Franklins injury scare in Hobart.But his back-up strategy worked, producing a nine-point victory over North Melbourne on Saturday afternoon to send the Swans to the top of the AFL ladder.In overcast conditions at Bellerive Oval, Sydney led at every break and finished 12.13 (85) to 10.16 (76) winners.Franklin left the ground in the 13th minute with a hip complaint after a collision with Kangaroo Scott Thompson.We had to change it up a little bit different once Lance got hurt, Longmire said.The shift brought forward some of the Swans midfielders, with nine players booting goals as Franklin took a back seat, managing just one behind.Gary Rohan, Jarrad McVeigh and Dan Hannebery finished with two goals each. Luke Parker earned a nod from the coach with his 31 disposals, as did rover Tom Mitchell and half-back Callum Mills.Franklin returned after a short absence, but his comeback was brief before again heading to the sheds for treatment.Hes OK, Longmire said.He was sore there for a bit of the game, clearly, thats why he ended up coming off twice. But I thought in the last quarter he actually contributed pretty well.The knock isnt expected to prevent Franklin playing against Richmond next Saturday.Longmire wants greater consistency from his side, which was dominated at times by North, including through most of the second term.We can improve a bit on todays performance and thats what we will be trying to do next week - trying to make sure we keep sharpening up all areas of our game, he said.But you want to get to this point of the year with that in front of you, which is to be able to control your own destiny ... in the last game of the year at the SCG and thats what were going to try and do.The Kangaroos have managed just three wins from the past 11 rounds, and coach Brad Scott was blunt in his assessment.We werent able to capitalise on our opportunities well enough, he said, adding that three easy goals they failed to kick proved costly.The game ended their streak of eight victories at their second home in Hobart, and also likely puts Thompson back on the injury list.The veteran defender, on his return from a groin complaint, left the field at the end of the first quarter, and was later seen on the sideline holding ice on his groin.Stalwart Brent Harvey was the standout for the Kangaroos, finishing with three goals, two behinds and 32 disposals.

NEW YORK -- Right now it seems like nothing can stop Andy Murray.Well, maybe there is one thing.Ive always enjoyed playing here, I havent lost too many matches on this court, Murray told Darren Cahill on Arthur Ashe Stadium after his clinical 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 win over Lukas Rosol. He added with a smile: Armstrong is the one Ive struggled on. Hopefully I can play here a few more times.World No. 1 Novak Djokovic may still be a slight favorite among the bookmakers, but, on this evidence, Murray is the man to beat at the US Open.The Scots main rival at Flushing Meadows looked below his best in his opening win, and is dealing with wrist and elbow injuries to boot after shocking early exits at Wimbledon and in Rio.In contrast, Murray arrived at Flushing Meadows having reached seven straight finals; he is 33-2 since the Madrid Masters, winning his second Wimbledon title and Olympic gold medal along the way.The draw didnt throw up an easy opener for Murray in Rosol, a dangerous opponent on paper. There had been a little bad blood between the pair in Munich last year -- the Czech bumped into Murray at a change of ends and the British No. 1 told him that nobody likes you on the tour.But it was Murray here who knocked Rosol out of his way. Dressed all in black, he turned out the lights on the world No. 81 to sail into the second round.It was a clinical display from Murray -- the woorld No.dddddddddddd 2 didnt drop his serve once, and raced through in just an hour and 50 minutes to set up a second-round meeting with Marcel Granollers.I served very well, I dont think I had any break points against me, that was good, Murray added. I used good variation on my second serve as well, which is important against someone who goes for big returns.It was a tough start, he had chances early on, but once I got a break up I started to relax and played well.This has been a remarkable year for Murray, and you get the feeling there could be something even more special to come.If he makes the final, he would become just the fourth man to reach all four major finals in a calendar year -- but he wont be aiming for anything less than a fourth Grand Slam title and second US Open title.Murray won the first of those here during his maiden spell with coach Ivan Lendl. Since we stopped working together, a lot has changed for both of us, Murray said.I feel Im more mature -- I have a family now, and Ivan has been coaching younger players, juniors. That changes your perspective a little bit. Its been a good start to our relationship again.Some things never change, though.His jokes are still the same, still not funny, Murray quipped of his coach. ' ' '
