Andy Murray stuns Rafael Nadal to reach Toronto final

                                           Murray has ensured he will remain fourth in the rankings


Andy Murray produced some of his best tennis of the year to beat world number one Rafael Nadal and reach the final of the Rogers Cup in Toronto.

The Briton, defending his title in Canada, came through 6-3 6-4 to reach the final and guarantee that he will remain fourth in the world rankings.

Murray broke once in the first set and twice in the second as his aggressive tactics gave him the edge throughout.

Roger Federer reached the final with a 6-1 3-6 7-5 win over Novak Djokovic.

Murray had given notice that his form was good with an impressive display against David Nalbandian on Friday, ending the Argentine's 11-match winning streak in the quarter-finals.

But Nadal remained a daunting opponent, with the Spaniard having won eight of their previous 11 meetings including a straight-sets victory at Wimbledon last month.

Tottenham Hotspur 0-0 Manchester City

Tottenham Hotspur 0 Manchester City 0
Attendance: 35,928	FT (14:40)

Big-spending Manchester City's top-four credentials were no clearer after a Jekyll-and-Hyde performance in their Barclays Premier League opener at Tottenham Hotspur.

City somehow survived a first-half Spurs onslaught as Joe Hart fully justified his new status as City and England number one with a succession of world-class saves to deny Jermain Defoe, Tom Huddlestone and Benoit Assou-Ekotto, while Gareth Bale also hit the post.

City's multi-million-pound summer signings failed to shine in the opening 45 minutes but improved after the break, with Shaun Wright-Phillips having their best chance, although Bale missed a golden opportunity to snatch victory for Spurs.

Hart got the nod over Shay Given in the City goal, while the visitors also handed full competitive debuts to Yaya Toure, David Silva and Aleksandar Kolarov.

Scorer: Malouda (5, 90) Scorer: Drogba (45, 55, 67) Scorer: Lampard (62)
Attendance: 41,589	FT (19:23)

Double winners Chelsea fired an early warning to their Barclays Premier League title rivals as Didier Drogba smashed a hat-trick in their opening-day thrashing of new boys West Bromwich Albion at Stamford Bridge.

Florent Malouda set the Blues on their way after only six minutes, with Drogba's free-kick extending the lead on the stroke of half-time.

It was more one-way traffic after the restart, as the Ivory Coast striker netted from close range with Frank Lampard making it 4-0 just after the hour.

Drogba's deflected effort and a last-minute strike from Malouda sealed an emphatic win for the champions, who put last week's 3-1 defeat by Manchester United in the Community Shield at Wembley firmly behind them.
